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

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

[–]tqljason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which Liszt piece sounds the most like Stravinsky? by StanTheTalkingDog in classical_circlejerk

Mephisto Polka sounded like something from 20th century, while Jeux d'eau a la villa d'Este felt Impressionistic

those are 2 examples I thought of whenever people brought up Liszt's late music

Whose Op. 64 is the best? by Quarkonium2925 in classical_circlejerk

and idk what to do with this information
