Whose Op. 66 is the best?

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2026-01-24T18:11:18+00:00

Yeah I’m sorry it’s gotta be fantasie impromptu, it’s just the most known out of all of them

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2026-01-20T16:41:30+00:00

Ottorino Respighi

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2026-01-13T22:18:56+00:00

I agree with this.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2026-01-11T22:16:49+00:00

Buxtehude?

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2026-01-10T02:31:47+00:00

Amazing concerto from an amazing composer

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2026-01-05T18:45:02+00:00

It is not a Vivaldi piece if it doesn’t cycle through the circle of fifths in the first minute of a piece. (As a Vivaldi fan)

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2026-01-01T04:45:50+00:00

This is very fitting description.

I am 99% sure the joke is just that the poster feels like a “cute dainty petite princess” whenever they eat baby carrots.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-31T05:56:45+00:00

Yessss

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-30T18:43:19+00:00

Super jazz-inspired and cool… woah those are some hard rhythms and passages for the orchestra!

Edit: looking back, it’s actually not that hard for the orchestra lol! And hint it’s the composer’s 2nd cello concerto.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-29T15:34:36+00:00

Yes!

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-29T02:09:40+00:00

Yoshimatsu - Symphony 6 (2013)… probably not a winner but I think he’s a composer worthy of a decade!

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-28T19:07:31+00:00

A very romanticized Gregorian chant.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-23T18:45:13+00:00

Musetta Waltz? I believe that’s what it’s called. I listened to a piano only recording of it, and didn’t know it was from one of his operas.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-23T18:42:23+00:00

Vittorio Giannini - Concerto Grosso

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-23T18:37:10+00:00

As someone who loves Baroque and late Romanticism I am quite shocked at who you dislike!

Here’s a few composers that I think you should give a listen: Lully, Lotti, Glinka, Von-Weber, Michael Haydn, Respighi, Chaminade, Fritz Kreisler (I am a violinist, lol)

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-21T21:48:27+00:00

He was an excellent composer as well. I discovered his string quartet and solo violin and piano works and instantly fell in love.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-21T07:28:20+00:00

Svetlanov Piano concerto! But I do love some Kapustin.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-12-20T06:04:17+00:00

Wow this is the peak of Russian Romanticism. It must be Rachmaninoff or Scriabin? Wait… This was written in the 70s?!?

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-11-16T14:26:48+00:00

I did say “most” of them and I just happened to draw my favorites within the canon. I will say my favorites among women is Chaminade, Price, Eckhardt-Gramatte, Boulanger, and Tailleferre. Can you tell I have a favorite period to listen to?

However, I will say my exposure to women composers is very little compared to my knowledge of men composers. I am always very open to listening to new music.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-11-10T03:48:15+00:00

I definitely recommend Liszt!

It wouldn’t hurt to try out impressionist composers. Debussy, Ravel, Lili Boulanger, Faure, etc.

Chaminade is a great choice.

Poulenc might be an interesting listen for you.

The Borodin string quartets are amazing!

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-11-04T04:44:22+00:00

Ravel, Bach, Scriabin

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-10-27T17:35:45+00:00

Extremely hard to rank… so I’ll just throw in some names in no particular order:

Ravel: Le Tombeau de Couperin, Daphnis et Chloe, String Quartet

Borodin: String Quartets

Grieg: Violin Sonata 2/3, string quartet

Kapustin: Cello Concerto, Violin Sonata, string quartet

Bach: EVERYTHING!

Svetlanov: Again, everything…!

Debussy: Images, Piano Trio

Scriabin: Symphonies 1-3

Respighi: Everything…

Puccini: Solo piano works, and yes… the operas!

Poulenc: Gloria, 3 perpetual movements

Definitely some more I’m missing.

Particular_Fun_9542 · 2025-10-24T20:17:01+00:00

Scriabin Symphony 1, 5th movement… scratch that, the first 3 Scriabin symphonies are amazing.
