Doctuses: Pieces that got me into Classical Music

bgillesp 02.16.18	No Canon and Gigue in D. That's starter material for everyone.
loulou 02.16.18	No go for the real shit with Mahler!
Doctuses 02.16.18	Nah. And im just saying what got me into classical. Not a starter pack.
bgillesp 02.16.18	Yeah, I just meant I was surprised that wasn't in there for you
bgillesp 02.16.18	For me it was that, toccata and fugue, Brahms 4th, and of course beethoven
WatchItExplode 02.16.18	The original Goldberg Variations my dudes.
Doctuses 02.16.18	Art of fugue > goldberg variations
WatchItExplode 02.16.18	Perhaps, but hearing the Goldberg variations on NPR @ 5yo is what sparked a love of classical in me.
Sinternet 02.16.18	classical didn't peak until way into the 20th century
Doctuses 02.16.18	Hell no. Classical peaked with Mozart Beethoven and Schubert. Romantic music is pretensious and boring. Debussy and the impressionists are great. The serialists and atonalists are too edgy. Mid 20th century is recording and looping its not even classical music.
Sinternet 02.16.18	lol no classical like all music only started to break down boundaries and create new ideas in the last 100 years, composers since the 1930's have done much more than any composer before them, the only thing that at all makes people remember mozart etc. is because they were the better out of a sea of mediocrity and noncreativity, modern composers have honed the art of classical music through modern and better techniques
Doctuses 02.16.18	That was definitely the most retarded thing ive seen on this website. And there are 5s on St. Anger. Edgy take but sorry bruh you literally couldn’t be more wrong. You’re probably just assuming all music pre-atonality is the same. Tell me more about these “boundaries” that have been broken, we talking minimalism? Loop music? And name some composers besides john cage
Doctuses 02.16.18	Actually don’t bother reaponding cause I’m not gonna argue with you. So I’ll just leave you with this ... Mr. sinternet. what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Koris 02.16.18	Muzio Clementi was a big one for me growing up. His trio of Op. 36 sonatinas was a big influence on my classical background (I'm a classically-trained pianist). Also, both Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn were big influences to me. The latter is especially underrated, and had both complex and incredibly beautiful compositions to her name. Also, one record that had a big impact on my own style of playing was In My Time by Yanni. While he's usually known for a new age style of playing, In My Time strips down his work to place an emphasis on romantic-era classical elements. Really fantastic stuff, and it was one of the most important records of my upbringing
Doctuses 02.17.18	I haven't listened to enough Clementi, I should, I'm a classically trained classical guitarist btw, so its cool to konw there are other classical musicians on this site. I also haven't listened to enough Felix and FAnny Mendelssohn and I mean to do so. They stand separate from the rest of the romantic-bunch. Except for a few compositions here and there, I really find Romantic-era music so dull. I suppose Wagner is an exception, but I never got into opera.
bgillesp 02.17.18	Mahler and Shostakovich have done some great work in the more modern era
bgillesp 02.17.18	I don't know enough to join yalls argument but I like Shostakovich a lot
rodrigo90 02.17.18	I have the Prelude of Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007 by Bach as a ringtone thanks to Steve Hackett
hal1ax 02.17.18	Lmao. Agree with Doctuses. Gtfo @ sinternet
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.17.18	proto guitar-music. compositions from long before the guitarocaust of the 1900s.
Doctuses 02.17.18	I've heard great things about Mahler and Shostakovich, got nothin against them, just don't know em,
hal1ax 02.17.18	Chopin and Tchaikovsky were my windows into classical I think. I forget which pieces though.
Tyler. 02.17.18	i fuckin hate guitars
rodrigo90 02.17.18	But you might love harps. I love harps, but they look like you need 2 years to learn how to play it correctly
Frippertronics 02.17.18	Schoenberg and Scriabin are probs the best of the composers of the late 19th/early 20th century. Stuff like Verklarte Nacht and The Divine Poem are untouchable.
Doctuses 02.17.18	Schoenberg berg berg
Frippertronics 02.17.18	Ice...berg
Doctuses 02.17.18	who knows about 13
