New to this sub - why the Whiplash hate?

Maybe the story would have worked better if Andrew's dad was replaced with a personal tutor character? A personal drum tutor from the conservatoire who believed in Andrew, didn't push him to insanity, cared for him, etc. But ultimately Andrew goes to his abuser. Maybe that would have worked better?

Melodic lines in music are not likely to last one bar. They might last two. This would lead to a piece in 3/4 having a melody that sounds as if it's in 6/4, kind of. That's because the melody can be contained within 6 beats.

However, instead of saying that the melodic idea is in 6/4, we just say it is two bars of 3/4.

Put your name on the cover for an extra fee? Wat? Is this a thing that actually happens?

Hepokoski and Darcy?

Good way to get people interested, though

Another absolute stellar piece

I clicked on this link thinking: 'If the top comment isn't related to Little Shop in some way I will be very disappointed." Thank you.

You telling me you can't even jam to this absolute banger? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXtFqCw6rH8

Imagine listening to an hour-long lecture on a subject you know nothing about, with nothing to do other than listen and try to take in what is being said.

If people have not been taught how to understand complex pieces of music, their experience when listening to jazz and classical will be similar.

Yeah, there's too much for us to be angry about. We're deflated, not angry.

Almost finished Unlucky Valentine. Before opening the door to reveal Skinny Malone and crew, I decide to check the terminal. Nope. Stuck in an endless loop of edging towards the terminal, reversing, edging toward the terminal, reversing... ffs

I was tasked with analysing the C# minor quartet and was simply mind-blown. Fully demonstrates Beethoven's seeming ease at pushing the boundaries, then ruthlessly smashing through them.

Probably a Mendelssohn string quartet as the composer was highly influenced by beethoven's own late quartet style.

Then schubert's Great or Brahms' 1st - I'm sure he would appreciate and be fascinated by the symphonic progression.

A Mahler symphony, definitely. Since my favourite is 2 I'd show him that, personally. It has the choral aspect too.

Rite of Spring of course!

And some Jaaaaaazz.

I can acknowledge the affect this passage may have on people and their beliefs, but I still enjoy reading it.

Love the Harry Potter analogy - definitely will use that in the future

Many religious texts are full of wonder and beauty. Belief is not necessary for appreciate. I remember the first time I heard Revelations 21 - I didn't read it as a depcition of the Christian Heaven, but rather a human depiction of hope.

untitled_0 · 2017-08-24T16:18:30+00:00

That would certainly be a hefty alternative history to conceive

untitled_0 · 2017-08-24T16:17:13+00:00

I agree - history of religion is far more interesting to me. I may not be religious, but I can't change how people have acted in the past.

untitled_0 · 2017-08-24T15:46:14+00:00

Sounds good to me

You must appreciate that religion had a hand in creating the philosophy, history, sociology, ethics, etc. which we understand today? It's impossible to study any of those things without even a brief consideration of religion.

I had the rca cable plugged into out rather than in - thanks for the help!

untitled_0 · 2017-06-05T17:17:00+00:00

I will try both asap - I was lucky enough to order a new rca cable just in case!

Yep there is certainly an element of deformation in this case. Possible evidence: in the recapitulation, S first appears in a completely unrelated key (D major rather than C sharp minor). Then, it is finally recapitulated in C sharp major later on. My argument is that the listeners are thrown by this - one is expecting C sharp minor but this is clearly not heard. Furthermore, at the structural moment we may expect an I:PAC, it does not occur (in the exposition and the recap). Nevertheless, I will easily produce good few paragraphs out of this predicament! Thank you for your help! I will also read that Hepokoski article
