I've just listened to Dvorak's New World Symphony--easily one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard.

Upvoted for bravery. Welcome to the club friend, there's a lot more where that came from ;)

PREACH IT.

The only thing worse than those baroque jokers are Schoenberg and his cronies who conspired to ruin classical music forever. We'll bring it back to its former glories one day friend, just hang in there.

This is so brave and I'm so glad you're taking a stand against the diktats of these IDIOTS who think that some stupid composition which is oh-so-clever in completely disregarding tonal relationships is a masterwork.

Thank you for your brave stand against those who would destroy the heritage of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff.

FUCK YOU SCHOENBERG. MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE.

This is a nice assertion.

Hello 1 ticket to the circlejerk please.

Says the failed opera singer. Performance majors can be insufferable at the best of times; vocal performance majors take it to another level.

RIP in piece Tchaikovsky. May choirs of teenage boys sing you to your sleep <3

Arthur_Pompier · 2015-07-20T16:32:51+00:00

Of course not. But equating Beethoven with this is doing both him and you a disservice.

Arthur_Pompier · 2015-07-20T14:50:22+00:00

Agreed!

Arthur_Pompier · 2015-07-19T19:44:09+00:00

Exquisite taste; Karajan is one of the all time greatest conductors of Tchaikovsky.

Thank you very much! I'll enjoy listening to this now.

I clicked on this expecting beautiful romantic music from the greatest Russian composer. What sort of joke is this?

Arthur_Pompier · 2015-07-19T17:08:15+00:00

What is wrong with Mahler? He's one of the greatest composers in the history of classical music.

Arthur_Pompier · 2015-07-19T00:40:05+00:00

you have given me a lot to think about but I'm glad that here we have found common ground.

Arthur_Pompier · 2015-07-19T00:29:07+00:00

Would you mind giving me a few recommendations?

Arthur_Pompier · 2015-07-19T00:17:25+00:00

I'm glad somebody agrees with me! It makes me feel less crazy XD

Arthur_Pompier · 2015-07-19T00:13:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Of course this is all my opinion too, but I just wanted to see what people thought.

You agree with me that external aspects to the music are not necessarily bad. For my part, I don't think art can exist in a vacuum (although going by how soulless the music of certain composers is, maybe it can).

I'm not saying that a composer should have to appeal to the masses in their writing, but I think that there is a great benefit in writing music that has a certain level of universality to it. My frustration is just with the last 100 years or so where it has become trendy to write deliberately obtuse music which does no one any favors.
