>As early as 1923, Pfitzner and Hitler met. It was while the former was a hospital patient: Pfitzner had undergone a gall bladder operation when Anton Drexler, who knew both men well, arranged a visit. Hitler did most of the talking, but Pfitzner dared to contradict him regarding the homosexual and antisemitic thinker Otto Weininger, causing Hitler to leave in a huff. Later on, Hitler told Nazi cultural architect Alfred Rosenberg that he wanted "nothing further to do with this Jewish rabbi." Pfitzner, unaware of this comment, believed Hitler to be sympathetic to him. lmao
"Perhaps this is a cliche, but without beautiful melodies music cannot exist. I am a melodist and I am not ashamed to admit it. Had I used this word 20 or 30 years ago, then of course everyone would turn against me, perhaps even laugh at me. But now I see that those who do not use melodies are not composers." Krzysztof Penderecki, source. youtube.com/watch?v=t_KgvpzDMO4
this unironicly. the thing i can't quite figure out about her is that her melodies often come off as cheesy, but she tends to make me forgive her for her cheesiness.

>Boulez isnt a composer Based. Any recommendations on Penderecki?
I'd like to revive and second this post >Would be great if someone could give a rundown of the best recordings of the symphonies like pic rel for beethoven

I still prefer his '59-'74 period to any of the neoclassical stuff he did afterwards

I read every available book and article about Erik Satie, I love him so much, how can a man be so based.

why didn't debussy and ravel consider themselves impressionists if everyone says they are the greatest figures of impressionism in music?
Ian Peterson
I'd readily make fun of you, but in truth you just sadden me Because that hurt their delicate egos and didn't make them feel unique and special enough

>There are studies on trained musician who play and compose serial music and their ability to hear series, rows, retroversion etc... the studies show that they can't, they (inspite of years of serial music playing and listening) on double blind test can't really tell one piece from another or recognize patterns or series or methematical rows and inside out rows and inverted rows. Simply the complexity and patterns and meaning are all in the sheet but they're inaudible to the trained listener. Ergo: not you nor even serial composer and no one else can really tell a serial piece composed with intent and a random set of notes played by a computer or two children playing randomly on a piano. youtube.com/watch?v=EmErwN02fX0&lc=UghNMEAGuc7YbngCoAEC.82QN0633Fh28e9vPZFsuUf

explain whats so good about him, I admire gymnopedie, i like gnossiene but his other pieces i think are mediocre
Luke Morales
Shit: Verdi, Satie, Saint-Saens, Chopin, Ravel, Stravinsky, Mahler, Boulez, Stockhausen You can't like these. You can like anyone else as taste is (save from the examples listed above) subjective, but the ones above are either objectively mediocre or objectively bad. Thank you for your time, don't @ me etc. etc.
a computer can generate a composition following the exact rules standardized by bach too. structures is boulez’s only completely serial piece and he says it’s more of an exercise rather than a piece to be enjoyed. what a good composer does is take rules that are themselves static and use them in interesting ways.
Owen Watson
>what a good composer does is take rules that are themselves static and use them in interesting ways. like Satie!
Elijah Nguyen
I'm gonna give this Boulez faggot a second chance, see if I change my mind. List his essential works, please. If no one lists his essential works, his must-listen, top-rate shit then I'll just assume I was right the first time I disregarded him as a hack.
Benjamin Campbell
Why would you do that? His works sound like played by a retard or some 8 year old child who found a funny instrument in his dad's office. It's not possible to have any pleasure from listening to him.
