November 15, 200817 yr Hi, I just wanted to know what you guys think of the "Curse of the Ninth" and whether it's real or not. It's kind of an interesting topic. edit: I just have a question. Who voted that they "Definitely Believed" in the Curse of the Ninth?
November 15, 200817 yr ... How COULD it be real? At all? Haydn must be spinning like a goddamn jet turbine right about now...
November 15, 200817 yr Author ... How COULD it be real? At all?Haydn must be spinning like a goddamn jet turbine right about now... Actually the "Curse" started with Beethoven. Classical and baroque don't count. Just thought I'd point that out!:D
November 15, 200817 yr Darius Milhaud. Heitor Villa-Lobos. Roy Harris. Henry Cowell. (Yes, I did get those from Wikipedia.)
November 15, 200817 yr Curse of the ninth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There's a big list of them here.
November 15, 200817 yr I see another "Red Violin" movie mock up being created in this thread... I'm always up for a little fun with superstition.
November 16, 200817 yr i dont write symphonies anyways. although i do plan on writing symphonic poems...... yes, like someone else said, if the curse is true then i cant imagine how dead Haydn would be right now.
November 16, 200817 yr No. It can't be real on the grounds that Mahler was the one that started (or at least popularized) it and Mahler sucks. He was just envious that he only got to write nine of his MASSIVELY long symphonies into his life time. Well, actually, he got close to ten but not quite. Hahapwned. *expects Roman to come in scalloping and whining now*
November 16, 200817 yr i dont write symphonies anyways. although i do plan on writing symphonic poems......yes, like someone else said, if the curse is true then i cant imagine how dead Haydn would be right now. Well, Haydn -is- extremely dead right now.
November 16, 200817 yr I plan to write symphonies... I'm just going to REALLY gently caress up my numbering system just to screw with people. Maybe something like ... Symphony Subtitle: "Solving for A."
November 16, 200817 yr I wish I could do that integration in my head, but the square roots throw me off.
November 16, 200817 yr I plan to write symphonies... I'm just going to REALLY gently caress up my numbering system just to screw with people. Maybe something like ... Symphony Subtitle: "Solving for A." That's AWESOME.

He was just envious that he only got to write nine of his MASSIVELY long symphonies into his life time. Well, actually, he got close to ten but not quite. The only reason Mahler couldn't get past 9 complete symphonies is that they were all so damn long and took him a long time to write.
November 16, 200817 yr The only reason Mahler couldn't get past 9 complete symphonies is that they were all so damn long and took him a long time to write. very true. around half of Mahler's symphony movements are as long as many entire 20th century symphonies. some are even longer.
November 16, 200817 yr Segerstam should be even deader than Haydn (like 2x times as dead) and hes still alive. Leif Segerstam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If this 9 thing is true then he would have to be like 23 times as dead as beethoven right now.
