healey.cj Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 You're kidding right? Every other piece of music I hear I wish I wrote something like it. (and often start contemplating doing so) Anything by Beethoven, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Ravel, Scriabin, Shostakovitch, Mahler etc I keep hearing them and going "I want to write something like THAT!!!" lol almost EVERY time I hear something its like that. The problem is I'll start a composition and then I'll hear a piece of music and get distracted, often permanently. I've found I often need an absence of good music when I'm composing because otherwise I'll keep changing my mind about what I want to compose rofl.

Lol well the way I understood the question was "What pieces of music do you find so beatutiful/etc that you wish you were responsible for creating such beauty." Make more sense now? Surely you've had that experience where you listen to something and go "WOW, this is incredible, I really really really want to write a piece of music which is as powerful (Whatever the term you wish to us may be) as this!"

Nirvana69 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'm sure I've already posted in this thread but let me just add Bartok's Piano sonata. I'm not one that is easily impressed with music but something about it just speaks to me. It's highly individual and I don't think I've ever heard anything like it before or since.

Mr Lex. Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 At the top of my list would be... 1: Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor 2: Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C Major "Jupiter" 3: Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in Eb Major "Emperor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healey.cj Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Actually... Jaws is quite obviously ripped off from the Rite of Spring! No kidding. Listen to it from about 3 minutes into the piece... You hear stuff extremely similar in texture, motive, etc Then, just like John Williams does, Stravinsky has the intense driving rythm sections broken up by heavy use of various chaotic wind pointilistic segments etc. You just hear it. It seems so obvious that there is a connection. I don't know whether John Williams was consciously aware of it but it does sound rather similar to me.

SonatainfSharp Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Lol well the way I understood the question was "What pieces of music do you find so beatutiful/etc that you wish you were responsible for creating such beauty." That is how I understood the question, too. And my answer remains unchanged. :) I have no problem acknowledging that Beethoven wrote his own Op.10/2 and not me.
