w.shipley Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm really stuck on the second movement of Tchaikovsky's first and fifth symphonies. They're just... fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si... Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Speaking of Messiaen, I've become quite obsessed with La Nativite Du Seigneur, and Turangalila (particularly movement 4 - I love when he piles up all those themes on top of each other towards the end.)

Guest VisitingCellist Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Current fave? Well, I'm working on the Pampeana No. 2 Rhapsody for 'cello and orch, which I record Friday, so that's preety much all I think about right now. Awesome piece, actually. If you can, listen to the cello octet transcription or the full orchestra version (the piano reduction that I'm having to work with preety much stinks, but until I have my own orchestra at beck and call, it'll do...).

Tochacz Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 My favorite piece of music is third movement of the first Mahler's Symphony. It is a Trauermarsch (funeral march) and i like it because of the moderate mood, very calm. I like particularly two themes. First is the canon "Frere Jacques" and its variation. The second theme is played after the canon, it is more lively and sentimental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spherenine Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Recently, I've been digging Brahms' Clarinet Quintet. Mozart's Piano Sonata no. 9 in D major is also pretty righteous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chodelkovzart Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 mine changes every week, but current ones are: - valse-impromptu by liszt - piano concerto no 17 by mozart - brahms' piano concerto (im surprised by how little attention it gets) - and a bunch of stuff by mozart (after ignoring mozart for a long time, i am back to him again. =P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirvana69 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I've said it many times and I'll say it again, I'll never understand what people's fascination with Mahler is. Anyway, currently my favorite piece of music is Ravel's Jeux d'Eau. It's hard to find a good interpretation (either way too fast or too slow) but when you happen to stumble upon a good one, it's just pure magic.

Tokkemon Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I've said it many times and I'll say it again, I'll never understand what people's fascination with Mahler is. That's because you either love him or hate him. There's very little chance for anything in-between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirvana69 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 That's because you either love him or hate him. There's very little chance for anything in-between. For once, I actually agree with you on something. Amazing. Though, I don't really hate Mahler. I even like him on rare occasion, like his second symphony. Albeit not enough to actually get through the entire thing in one sitting but it has its moments. I just don't understand why people make such a fuss over him. *shrug* Maybe in time I will appreciate Mahler and his excessiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokkemon Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 People who are "excessive" like his "excessiveness." People like me. Except replace "excessive" with "extreeme" or perhaps "intemperate", then you might be on to something. /non-sensical jiberish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
