expert21 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 G'day Guys and Gals, Time for another one. The general outline is below (Copied from r/rock and slightly modified) Post whatever you've been listening to lately, whether its a piece you've been listening to a lot, or a new piece you've discovered, it doesn't matter, post it. This is where you can post all requests and recommendations. If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/composer so that other people will know what you want. Example: "I want to hear an composer that sounds like Tchaikovsky" (you can get more specific but this is usually enough) - and then hopefully someone will respond with recommendations X, Y, and Z. You can also leave a top level comment recommending an composer/school that you think others might like if they like X, Y, and Z. The more descriptive you guys are, the easier it is to help you find what you want. Just stating a composer's name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that composer's music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjarke Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) I have been listening a lot to the Krull score by james horner. What's amazing is that he had 3 weeks to compose 1 and a half hour of music and it's a masterpiece of film music. I also bought the score and study it a few times. Amazing film score. In my opinion it's probably his greatest score of all time. Edited August 20, 2023 by Bjarke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hey Arjuna, I'm continuing with Bach's organ music this week: Just Magnificent. This is such a grand one!! All the numbers are related to trinity: 3 subjects, 3 sections, key in 3 flats, bars ratio 36:45:36, 3 bar structure. I only know now that the famous Toccata and fugue is probably not composed by Bach. A beautiful one! The famous little fugue in G minor which @Bjarke arranges lately! I know now why it's such a great piece. Peter Williams speculates that the fugue composed first and Bach took the theme to be ostinato in the Passacaglia.

Rich Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) I have been mining for off- the- beaten -path Piano Quartets--- Found a youthful fragment worked into a four movement piece, by Schumann. Actually very interesting anD informative-- you can hear the struggle with form, harmonization, technique... He was 16 or so. Also a piece --Opus 30 by Thieriot--- well composed solid romantic piece by another unjustly forgotten composer, established in his day if not celebrated.
