soupinmyhair Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Can anyone recommend any violent sounding pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cavatina Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 In terms of "dark" emotions, the Wolf Glen's scene from Weber's Der Freischuetz is a fabulous at painting an "evil" picture which could be associated with nightmares, I presume. In terms of violence... I'm drawing a blank. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightscape Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 How about the Prokofiev Toccata? Or perhaps Copland's Piano Variations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matusleo Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Can anyone recommend any violent sounding pieces? Certainly! Prokofiev's "Suggestion Diabolique" and the third and final movement to his Seventh Sonata. From Messaien's 'Vingt Regards sur l'enftant Jesus' number VI: 'Par lui tout a été fait' Boulez's Second Piano Sonata Sorabji's 'Variazione maliziosa e perversa sopra "La Morte d'Åse" de Grieg' I'm sure there are many more.

Guest Anders Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I recomend this. Also: How about the Prokofiev Toccata? My favourite piece at the moment. A recording can be found here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I always found some of Franz Liszt's works to a be slightly sinister and dark at times as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad dream eyes Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Like One of Lizts fantays. I saw this tiny girl(age 19-25) play the piece at Bowling Green. She had to get out of her seat to reach everything. If my pitch is correct it starts with tritones going down. I believe its c f# c f# c f# starting in the middle of the piano then going down. (dotted rythm) Slowly. Its very loud and very powerful. Though it does have its happy sections. Which is a good contrast. Unless you want to sob after it. Then listen to Arvo Part 1st symphony. Although that is not a piano piece. you will sob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallz Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Or perhaps Copland's Piano Variations. I was just listening to that, so I would say that's a good one to recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
