hectorberlioz · 01-31-2004, 12:11 AM

so, who is te master of Baroque?
and who is master of classical?
and of romantic?
and of modern?

for me its...
Handel-Baroque(btw, i use to think that baroque was a man)
Mozart-classical
Berlioz-romantic
Britten-modern

Mercutio · 03-10-2004, 12:02 AM

Does posting a message put this category at the top of the list? So people see it? I hope so...

Anyway. A real comment:

Britten wrote some cool music for oboe--Metamorphoses after Ovid. I have two different recordings of them on cd.

Mercutio.

hectorberlioz · 03-10-2004, 12:55 AM

cool, I only have his War Requiem, two different recordings.
one with the Atlanta symphony under robert shaw, and the other under mr britten's own baton with the LSO.

hi all
i havent had time to read all the posts here,
nut i enjoy all forms of classical music especially baroque
my favourite composers are
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Gustavus Holst
and Antonio Vivaldi

i also compose music, and have written 1 symphony
althoug it was quitye short
and 3 nocturnes

Mercutio · 03-10-2004, 08:10 PM

I love "In the Bleak Midwinter" by Holst.

Vivaldi is nice too.

A lot of baroque music seems so similar--all the baroque oboe concertos I have (and I have a lot) are wonderful, but quite similar. I still could listen to them for hours on end.

My favorite. instrument is....you guessed it- OBOE! and organ comes in a second. It might pass oboe in a few years though, you never know.

Last Child of Ungoliant · 03-10-2004, 08:14 PM

my favourite pieces of music are Don Giovanni, by Mozart
Mars, From Holst's the Planets Suite
and Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks

my favourite instruments are the french horn, and violin

but yes, a lot of baroque is similar, but we all love it, dont we!!

Mercutio · 03-10-2004, 08:41 PM

Telemann wrote good music for two violins, i think. one person starts and then a measure or to later the second person comes in at the beginning of the piece. You wouldn't notice that they are playing the same music. I did some on oboe with a violinist once. Really cool.

yes, that style is called canon,
the most famous example being
the 'Canon' , by Johann Pachelbel

Mercutio · 03-10-2004, 08:47 PM

wow. i never knew that is what a canon is. Pachelbel writes pretty music too.

none of my music has been published

but i mainly do it just for fun, as i can only play piano meself
though i once conducte our school orchestra, when our music teacher was of ill

Mercutio · 03-14-2004, 01:32 AM

I like Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor. apparently he had writers block, talked to Leo Tolstoy, got worse, went to a physcologist, go better and wrote this famous piece, dedicating it to that doctor. Its really cool and weird in some places (like 3rds in the left hand and eight notes in the right).

trolls' bane · 03-20-2004, 12:57 AM

Does the music from the music hall in my Rogue Squadron II game count? I'm listening to that right now.
Anyway, most of my favorite classical music is famous, my favorate being Motzart 40, I think.

Mozart Symphony no. 40 is your favorite? I love that sym. myself, especially the third part.
