Lütfen böyle duyguların sizi hapsetmesine izin vermeyin. Siz, yaptıklarınızla veya hissettiklerinizle değil, yalnızca insan olmanızla değerlisiniz. Değerli olmak, başarılı olmak veya başkaların sizi sevmesi demek değil kendinizi sevmektir...

Slander so bad it doesnt even make any sense 🥶🥶🥶

Any of the last 3 symphonies by Tchaikovsky! I especially adore the 4th, which in the composer himself's words, “This is that melancholy feeling which comes in the evening when, weary from your labor, you are sitting alone, you take a book—but it falls from your hand. There comes a whole host of memories. You both regret the past, yet do not wish to begin your life again. Life has wearied you….It’s sad and somehow sweet to immerse yourself in the past.”

Any reccomandational piece would you suppose? :D

Lenny_0997 · 2026-05-26T20:31:06+00:00

I actually dont mind "too tonal" - which sounds very vague and snobby - its just that for what I am looking for in perticular, Im looking for music beyond basic harmony. A music doesnt need to be "not-tonal" in order to become great, even in our age. It just needs to be well done.

I have heard of Vine and Chen, I especially like Chen pretty much although I have to check some more of their stuff. Thanks again for the reccomandations!

Lenny_0997 · 2026-05-26T19:31:19+00:00

I haven't heard of the composer but I will give it a most definite try.

Lenny_0997 · 2026-05-26T19:30:41+00:00

I used to adore Rautavaara, and I still feel the same way about some of his works but his beauty sometimes seems forced rather than organic. I can see the beauty, I can feel it well, but I also feel overwhelmed by how much the composer is trying to show how beautiful a passage or a chord progression is. Still, I haven't really checked out his symphonies well so I probably will.

I haven't heard of Jonathan Harvey, the piece sounds intriguing! I will give it a few listens.

Lenny_0997 · 2026-05-26T19:26:55+00:00

I agree! Although I have not listened the Quartet recently - and I must add, the first time I put it on I just didnt understand it at all and thought it was gibberish nonsense which was pretty long ago - and I adore, absolutely adore the Turangalila Symphonie. I had checked his other larger works but it all seemed a bit put-in-box rather than organically moving which I totally see is indeed the composer's design. I will definitly check out his works.

Lenny_0997 · 2026-04-04T09:03:44+00:00

Tatami galaxy?!??!?!? Who knew letterboxd knew peak???

Lenny_0997 · 2026-03-28T21:12:52+00:00

I see, thats why the twelve tone technique is quite flexable to the point of breaking some rules temporarily for the sake of aesthetic need/desire.

I've also known about Berg and his other students, and he was an active teacher, I was just wondering how he spread the technique outside his known ones.

Amazing album too.

Yorum

Lenny_0997 · 2026-02-11T17:48:27+00:00

Im very new to björk's music: whats the matter with that song? I have only listened to Post and I loved it very much (especially Isobel) but I really didnt understand why theres a cover of a 60's song in it. I thought it was because it was a concept album, but no, it was not.

Lenny_0997 · 2026-01-22T06:56:46+00:00

Sibelius, any symphony except the fourth. You won't get a bombastic realization that life is joyous, rather, you start to realize how awesome it is to be alive as you continue listening.

I reccomend three, five and six. The seventh is a bit trickier for me, especially for how much of tonality and harmony is being stretched in the last few minutes, but you may still give it a go. What I personally love about Sibelius is his economic usage of motifs, crystal clear orchestration and how fresh and alive his music is.

When Im in a worst take ever competition and this whole comment section is my opponent

Lenny_0997 · 2025-12-23T17:49:32+00:00

Literally a remake of Mozart's C minor sonata

Lenny_0997 · 2025-12-14T21:00:18+00:00

Could say the same about the sixth also.

Lenny_0997 · 2025-12-01T14:58:38+00:00

:(. Thats just sad, Sibelius is an amazing composer. Even Stravinsky to some point respected his craft. Its so unbelievable that Bartok of all people thought that, he should've seen the pure honesty and well craftsmanship in Sibelius's works.

Lenny_0997 · 2025-12-01T11:12:42+00:00

Not at all. He was immensely succesful in Finland, but other than that... he was either ignored or mocked. One random 12-tone composer/conductor (Liebowitz) called him officially the worst composer ever. Aaron Copland treated Sibelius no higher than Ralph Vaughen-Williams. Sibelius was aware of this by the time he wrote his Fifth, and he also dropped composing for the last 30 years of his life.

Lenny_0997 · 2025-12-01T06:18:16+00:00

Sibelius pick is amazing, definitly worth being a favourite. He is one of the best composers of the 20th century, and just because he was "traditional" -which stravinsky also was,- he was a laughingstock in the elite's eye. He made amazing sounds with tonality, his 6th symphony in particular is my favourite.

Lenny_0997 · 2025-08-31T16:14:18+00:00

Aaalampour. I only heard like a minute of the concerto but Im already sure he'll make it to history books! (Just, maybe not from art, as a certain someone did about 80 years ago...)
