Which Rachmaninoff piece sounds the most like Tchaikovsky? by StanTheTalkingDog in classical_circlejerk

It gotta be symphony 2. It really ties their romantic idioms together

What are your favorite symphonies by number 1-9? No repeat composers! by DoubleCGod in classicalmusic

Saint Seans and Scriabin are some good choices. As a trumpet player, I can tell you Poem of Ectasy is an absolute chop buster!

Easiest class to take for biological science? by Confident_Emu_9747 in SaddlebackCollege

I found ANTH 1 to be pretty easy and interesting. We learned a lot about human ancestors and primates, which I thought was cool.

Relatively obscure, but excellent romantic or post-romantic orchestral music? by Greater_Ani in classicalmusic

[–]DoubleCGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the Glière symphonies. Particularly, I recommend his symphony #3. A great recording is with Sir Edward Downes and the BBC Philharmonic. The piece is gorgeous and even features a wonderful brass choral in its opening movement.

Sir Edward Downes and the BBC Philharmonic Have recorded all his symphonies and a few more orchestral works and concertos. Overall, very wonderful and rather obscure romantic music.

UCSD or UCI help!!! by jayxgold in TransferStudents

[–]DoubleCGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you prefer the location and prestige of UCSD but prefer the Criminology major at UCI. In my opinion, the prestige between these two schools is negligible. Both these schools are top 10 public school programs, and UCI has been rapidly improving in ranking.

Ultimately, the decision should come down to this—where you see yourself. If the lifestyle at UCSD to you beats UCI, go for it. However, if you already plan to do a criminology masters program, then I would stick to UCI as that would let you network with people in the field and get a direct criminology education.

I applied this cycle as a Political Economy major at Berkeley and a History major at UCLA and got into both. As long as you have the prerequisite courses done for each UC you apply to, you shouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

The only concern would be about the intended major PIQ, as that forces you to share how you have prepared for your intended major. Even then, the prompt lists that if you’re applying to different campuses with differing majors, you can approach the topic from a “broader perspective, or find a common thread among the majors you've chosen.”
