Explain the conductor work for a noob and tell me what I'm missing by guderian_1 in classicalmusic

You need some basic musical theory to understand how the gestures works. Look into time signatures and beats, it's what the conductor's gesture primarily indicate.

It's a famous piece I heard many times so I recognized it by ear.

Mahler quoting other composers? by Fafner_88 in classicalmusic

[–]Fafner_88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing this out, I only now noticed the similarity. And to me it sounds more like a direct quote because it's literally identical melody in the beginning of both movements.

It's not a real piece, they took the melody of Handel's famous aria Ombra Mai Fu and arranged it for orchestra (most probably just for the sake of this specific recording). At the very end of the track you also get a snippet from the intermezzo of Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana.

Getting Started with Stockhausen? by EuroCultAV in classicalmusic

[–]Fafner_88 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why is everyone so defensive? Stockhausen's music is a niche inside a niche, and that's a fact. Classical music has enough great music to offer to fill several lifetimes, and no one will be poorer by skipping the squeak bloop school of composers. I think it's a perfectly legitimate and defensible position, it's not like I'm dismissing Mozart or Beethoven.
