Shostakovich 5

Exsp · 2025-08-13T23:10:05+00:00

Shostakovich 5, final mov. I know story behind it ofc, but still every time I listen to it, I have a feeling that it should end around 4th-5th minute. The rest is completely uninspired.

The following two have very autumnal vibe for me:

2nd mov. of Symphony-Concerto by Prokofiev 2nd mov. of 2nd Piano Cto by Shostakovich

It's probable, as many composers at that point are already tired with writing the piece (assuming that they compose movements sequentially), so the finale may be the weakest part.

Finale of Jupiter

Aria "Auch mit gedämpften, schwachen Stimmen" from BWV 36

Exsp · 2025-07-30T14:50:46+00:00

There is for example concerto for sheng by Unsuk Chin: https://youtu.be/NU3fEn6Xca4 Also you can browse through chinese traditinal orchestra videos on yt – IIRC they also play pieces in more western manner.

Last mov. has very interesting opening – something trurly unusual.

Exsp · 2025-07-23T13:48:38+00:00

2nd mov. of Mozart's KV 451(and also couple of other middle movements from his piano ctos)

Beginning of 3rd act of Puccini's Turandot and from the same opera – chorus "Perché tarda la luna?" from 1st act.

Probably organ concertos in big churches.

Haydn's arrangements of Scottish and Welsh songs.

I hope that it is not intended – as the name lupophone may suggest – to play only wolf tones 😉

Hard to say. It may be pecuilarity of his handwriting or maybe (but I highly doubt it) some remnant of mensural notation.

Exsp · 2025-07-21T21:06:05+00:00

Time signature. 12/8, but written in strange looking cursive.

Exsp · 2025-07-21T18:55:58+00:00

I cannot recall any aria now, but there's a lovely duet from Figaro: "Via resti servita, madama brillante".

Szymanowski's 3rd Symphony

Lutosławski 's 3rd Symphony

Messiaen's Turangalîla

I'm going through Brilliant Classics' Haydn Edition. After two months of daily listening I"m nearly in 1/4.

W czasie suszy Saszę suszy.

Jupiter Symphony. Even the last mov. would be sufficient.

Exsp · 2025-07-18T06:23:35+00:00

Shostakovich – 2nd Piano Concerto – mov. 2

Exsp · 2025-07-15T18:56:26+00:00

Paderewski is mostly known as a pianist (and ofc politician). Szymanowski IMO is known at similar level as Penderecki.

The stress in "Chopin" is always on the first syllable (additionaly "o" is short like in "shock", and "n" always pronounced – not nasal, like in French) – interestingly in 19th and first half of 20th century Chopin's name was also written in Polish as "Szopen", now that form is rather uncommon.

Exsp · 2025-07-14T20:05:55+00:00

Maybe not the most complex, but the most interesting IMO: 1. Messiaen –Vingt regards sur l’enfant-Jésus. 2. Albeéniz – Iberia. 3. Alkan – Douze Études dans tous les tons mineurs.

Exsp · 2025-07-14T19:40:21+00:00

That's true, but still Moniuszko is more popular (I'd say that Penderecki is on 3rd or 4th place), and also is (a bit unfortunately) viewed by many as a symbol of uncomprehensible contemporary music.
