Yeah. I think it's the careful treatment of voices and the derivative, straightforward nature of it that makes it feel "pure" compared to other styles like jazz. While I enjoy many things outside of classical I see your point.

>the careful treatment of voices and the derivative, straightforward nature you seem confined to one specific period and maybe even genre
>This is the only place where I can talk about this so excuse me if it sounds obnoxious. Classical music is the only music that I can listen without tiring me out, even if I enjoy other types of music they simply can't compete. It just inspires me and makes me feel great no matter how long I listen to it. At first I thought it was because of the 432hz meme and the mastering but classical music has something really pure in it that no other genre, maybe other than electroacoustic and ambient music can produce. You are a faggot, I am listening to Japanese psychedelic folk album from 1980, then I am going to look for my favourite anime OSTs, and maybe then I will take some Schubert because I feel like listening to Schubert will be nice tonight. Do not be a close-minded pussy.

Coffee does nothing for me except give me the shits if I drink more than two cups (nevermind if I accompany that with some cigarettes). Do cigarettes make you jumpy too or what?
Carson Campbell
Redpill me on Schubert. What are his essential works?
Henry Watson
well shit man, the dude wrote a LOT and a LOT of it is essential. You should just brave the weather and listen to everything. It'll take you maybe a month and a half if you listen to only 1-2 hours a day

Listening to classical music and opera left me incapable of listening to other music. I get repulsed (as in bored out of my mind) by how simple most of post-classical music is and how terrible the singers are, and to some degree that also includes modern opera singers. Most of the albums and bands I used to listen to as teenager are now insta-skips. Not that those are inherently reasons to complain, but it would be nice to be once again able to enjoy other types of music to connect with other people, so is there a way out, anons?

>Franz Schubert (1797-1828) produced a torrent of work, including operas and symphonies; 600 songs; overtures and masses; string quartets, quintets and an octet; 20 piano sonatas; and some 50 choral works. user, I...
You know, musically it's not that adventurous, especially in light of Ligeti's previous oeuvre, but I do have a special place in my heart for this, the last truly worthwhile opera ever. It's refreshing because the singing and the plot and the little details make it properly contemporary and thus feels less detached from reality. It's actually endearing to hear a singer burp between his lines, you know? And of course, musically it's as good as high modernist opera gets, this side of Berg. It's a meme piece, for sure, but it's a *good* meme piece. Unlike certain other even more contemporary operas that are an absolute mess *helicopter noises*

Its the general idea, I usually refrain from listening to people singing when I'm not actively listening. How does it feel to have a reading disability? You listen to some Yas Forumscore newfag garbage and think I'm close minded? I said this is the only genre that truly puts me at peace, I have listened to more music than you can ever imagine.
Since you at least have followed my advice, all is forgiven and forgotten, more about it with you by word of mouth. Today quite calm. Do not think that any other thought weighs with me than that of your welfare, and judge my actions from this — do not take a step which may bring you into trouble and may shorten my life. I only got to sleep about 3 o'clock, for I was coughing the whole night. I embrace you heartily, and am sure that you will soon misunderstand me no longer, thus do I also judge your behaviour of yesterday. I expect you without fail today at one o'clock, give me no more trouble and anxiety, meanwhile farewell.
Your true and faithful father.
[PS] We are alone, I would not let H[olz] come on that account, all the more as I wish that nothing may be said about yesterday, come then — let my poor heart bleed no longer. - Beethoven

Is Schubert just an inferior Mozart or how does it work?

I literally refuse to listen to Beethoven because he was less than 5'8. What are some composers who aren't midgets?

There are some things that I like and don't exist in classical music, like saxophons, especially with slide
and pop/rock/folk (although I dont really listen to modern popular music, for me the At the Drive in album from 2000 is new rock) has some things classical music doesn't have -Very idiosyncratic individual non reproduceable singing. Singing in classical music is designed to be able to be reproduced by all the tenors, baritones, basses, sopranos, mezzos, altos of the world (even if there are sub-divisions between them, lyric, dramatic etc), and to be healthy, opera singers dont generally destroy their voices doing that
pop music doesnt have that limit, so Robert Plant could sing a pretty chesty G5, much highter than a tenor high C, here at 6:12
obviously he destroyed his voice in 3 years and a half and couldnt hit those notes after like 1973, but it got recorded in studio and many bootlegs so it was worth it popular music, at least with bands, used to be a collaborative effort between all the band members, that is also something that doesn't exist in classical music, which is the individual product of one composer's vision. I also find that attractive

Answer my question I don't want to waste my time with other composers when I already listen to the greatest ever

music's not for you, boy then don't; your loss, retard
Really? Which period or genre? I feel like it appeals to several composers from Bach to Brahms.
Jaxson Bailey
nice opinion, fag
Asher Martinez
well, anything without voices, for one, and anything that's not written in a strict, orthodox structure. Funny you should give as examples two of the most orthodox writers of their respective eras. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you, I love the fuck out of both, but that's just one of many ways in which good music has been made throughout the ages
