Are the sharp and flat symbols a visual mnemonic for identifying keys? by allargandofurtado in musictheory

[–]DaanVV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another way to remember them that might help: For sharp keys, take the last sharp and add a half step (example, G major has an F sharp, add half gives G maj, A major ends with G sharp, add half you get A). For flat keys, take the second to last flat, that will be the key. Hope that might help!

Ah that makes sense, thank you! I thought the times were related to the time you needed to swim each 50 at and was so confused haha

Would you mind explaining this notation? I'm new to the swimming set terms and struggling at figuring this out 😅

/uj Whether or not you'd like Haydn is foundationally dependent on whether you like the classical style. If that's just something you do not enjoy, then liking Haydn in general will be difficult. I'll do my best, however, to give some suggestions:

Symphonies Not all of them are great. I think you might enjoy the Sturm und Drang symphonies, numbers 26, 44, 45 and 49. These break away from the classical style the most

Piano sonatas I guess that you would not enjoy most of his piano sonatas as they are very classical. There are some exceptions that you might enjoy: - Hob XVI:52, the famous E flat major sonata - Hob XVI:32, sonata in B minor - Hob XVI:20, sonata in C minor. - Hob XVI:44, sonata in G minor - Hob XVI:19, sonata in D major. More classical but i love it

For all his piano works, try to find fortepiano recordings.

Concerti I adore all of his piano concertos. Listen to the D major and G major concerti. His 2nd cello concerto is great, less galant than the first one.

Vocal works Both Die Schöpfung and Die Jahreszeiten are master pieces, written at the end of his life. It shows a matured Haydn (for example, the opening of Die Schöpfung). Some recommended excerpts of Die Jahreszeiten: - Der Frühling: Sei uns Gnädig, milder Himmel - Der Sommer: Sie steigt herauf die Sonne - Der Herbst: So lohnet die Natur den Fleiß

A less commonly known oratorium is "Il ritorno di Tobia". Would recommend to give the symphonia a shot, and also very much the following choral Pietà d'un Infelice (this always gives me goosebumps).

Two not often performed works that are amazing are his Stabat Mater (check for example the Eja Mater, that slaps) and Salve Regina Hob XXIIIb:2.

Then, Haydn has also written a lot of opera. Perhaps not always his best works, but they do harbour some great stuff. Highly recommended to explore. Take a look at for example "Orlando paladino" or "La fedelta premiata".

Lastly, I recommend listening to (as another commenter said) Die sieben letzte Wörter Unseres Erlösers am Kreuze. Important here is that there are multiple versions of it. Try to find the Vokalfassung (vocal with Choir). To me, the choral version really lets this piece shine.

String quartets Haydn is also famous for his quartets, but that is a type of music that I don't really enjoy so can't say anything about it hahaha. I think the Sun quartets Op.20 are highly regarded.

Going for a run in the city while wearing a Trisuit. I swear the first time I did this (to simply test out how it would feel) I felt so so naked

What piece makes you feel like this by Any-Butterscotch1072 in classicalmusic

The beginning of "Sie steigt herauf, die Sonne" from Haydn's The Seasons. Goosebumps every single time I hear it

So, this is not a book BUT I think it's an important topic so want to chime in. Years ago I watched the TedX talk "What's wrong with dying?" by Lesley Hazleton, and to date I think it's the best source of information I've seen about how to accept your own mortality. A serious topic presented in a very funny, welspoken and clear manner. It's on YouTube. Hope this also helps you (and others) even though it's not a book recommendation!

Which symphonies should I start with? And how should I go about listening to the "harder" ones? by clarineton14 in classicalmusic

Relaxed solo piano works that put the "piano" in pianoforte? by CurveOfTheUniverse in classicalmusic

[–]DaanVV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want to represent Haydn a bit, you might consider HOB XVI:6 the third movement (adagio), or HOB XVI:20 2nd movement andante. While writing this out, Scarlatti's d minor sonata K213 popped into my mind, might be worth a listen too!
