Gardener Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Concerto for Bassoon in E Minor, RV. 484 - VivaldiDevil to play, strangely moving to listen to. Yay! I really love his bassoon concerto in a minor RV 498 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirvana69 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ravel's Scarbo. Only problem is it's tough to find a good interpretation. >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightscape Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It IS tough. Tough really to find good recordings of Ravel's piano works in general. I find the same even more true of Rachmaninov's solo piano works (there are plenty of good concerto recordings.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there are numerous but the amount that actually do the piece justice are clse to non-existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phdmartre Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Mahler 2! [2] - I've got to agree, Justin Tokke: words do not suffice to describe its magnitude. However, with regards to popular music, I'd say that The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band deserves special care from anyone who is aimed at pursuing the highest achievements ever made in the history of music (being it classical or popular, which, by the way, is a mere label - an extra-musical element that can be particularly harmful if turned into prejudice). In time, I also want to make my point that, at least in the case of Sgt. Peppers, we can certainly think of a single piece of music (concept album) and not just a bunch of songs sorted in a recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzic Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 I love Mahler's 2nd but I have such a short attention span, I cant remember the last time I listen to the whole thing through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_is_D Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I still agree with myself about Mahler's 2nd. Probably the only Mahler symphony which doesn't completely bore me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackballoons Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 A three-way tie between "The Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughan Williams, "blue cathedral" by Jennifer Higdon, and "When David Heard" by Eric Whitacre. All three are extravagantly beautiful works, but in totally different veins of "beauty." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Leigh Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 My favorite pieces to play - Mozart's Sonata in C K545 and Fantasia in D Minor. Beethoven's Fur Elise is fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ananth Balijepalli Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 :O ............................ :O ............................. I hope you people realize that Beethoven himself didn't like it and never published it... But that's just me. I wouldn't try and change your opinions. Let's see.. As of right now, I enjoy these tunes: Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 Schumann's Symphony No. 4 Tchaikovksy's Symphony No. 6 Bruch's Symphony No. 3 Almost all of the minor mode fugues in the WTC Grosse Fuge Oooh.. don't forget Brahms' 4th symphony Clara Schumann's piano trio! Ugh... so many that I like almost equally. But really, if you guys haven't heard any of these, you should probably check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qmwne235 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I've literally heard almost none of those. :P Just the Grosse Fuge and some of the minor WTC fugues.

Nirvana69 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I love Mahler's 2nd but I have such a short attention span, I cant remember the last time I listen to the whole thing through. Shouldn't it sort of be implied that if you "love" a piece of music, you can actually get through the damned thing? :whistling: Probably the only Mahler symphony which doesn't completely bore me. Same here, actually. It's the only Mahler symphony I've ever actually managed to get through in one sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrination Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 the Ravel Sonatine, specifically the 2nd movement. Also, the 1st and 3rd movements of Copland's four piano blues.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sonatina is a pretty piece of music but I find it to be rather.... shallow as far as Ravel's output goes. Pretty music but gets tiring fast. Try his Ondine. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrination Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 shallow? I wouldn't say so! The 2nd movement to my ears is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirvana69 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Griffes: The White Peacock (orchestrated, though the piano piece is also pretty sweet) Omgwtflolol no wai!!!! He said Griffess! Wow, such an under-rated composer. I'm not too much a fan of his White PEacock actually (but the last time I listened to it was when Scriabin's sonatas still sounded like dissonant white noise to me so many I should take another listen :whistling:) However, I do love his poem for flute and orchestra and his Fountains of the Acqua Paola.
