Tchaikovsky Description: You’re organized and certainly smart Tchaikovsky Himself: But what if…we used CANNONS as an instrument!!! Just fired them into the audience!!!!! NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN I’M USING CANNONS!!!!!!
You realise Tchaikovsky did that BECAUSE he hated the loudness right? Literally demonstrating that and mocking how people prefer loud noises and flashy style over substance, even suggesting that just adding cannons would get people more excited over your music than actually making good music.
Mahler fan here. I don't need your description. I'll make my own description, in my own head. It will be so much more than just a simple description. It will be a whole world. It will be all that I need.
The hammer. It's the hammer. Trust me, I like Mahler too. It's the Mahler hammer. And the Second Mahler Hammer. And the forbidden fruit, the Third Mahler Hammer.
I like how most of them is a positive description of a fans character rather than just a stereotype, like the other composer videos I’ve seen. Also I will check out Royer because of this video, I never even heard his name before.
Schubert: "You are sensitive and thoughtful" Me: *Begins to tear up instantly upon hearing Serenade* Sounds about right lol, and the poetry part too I love making poetry even if it in my head
It's a beautiful motto, methinks. It's not at all what would have come to my mind if I were to think about Bruckner and his music. But I love Bruckner and that characterization is flattering, so it's good.
My lifelong love affair with what is loosely called "classical music" began with performing Bruckner's Mass No 2 in E Minor. He was an absolute master of polyphony. If you've not heard what he's written for trombones, I urge you to give a listen to several pieces called Aequale, and also the motet "Locus Iste."
Satie never fails to make me sob and I've listened to Carnaval des Animaux idk how many times. Still, nothing matches the range of emotions Claire De Lune stirs within me.
Sibelius, Strauss and Tchaikovsky are all spot on, it would have been cool to have Gershwin on here too! He’s so underrated… perfect for a fan of both classical and jazz.
I'm absolutely and thoroughly convinced that Bach is the greatest composer of all, his music is the closest we have to feeling God's presence on this earth
I also feel that way. The reason for this, in my opinion, is that he embodied the pinnacle of Christian-European culture! Unfortunately, it seems to me that extreme secularism is gradually eroding what you have called "God's presence" in mankind's artistic beauty. What a shame...
@@eileenhetherington3704 It’s true that it’s my opinion! Diversity of opinions is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? It sheds light on things maybe you’ve never heard or thought of before.
Welp, you got me with Holst, Rimsky-Kosokov, and ESPECIALLY Dvorak. I do love a good adventure, i like being clear rather than complex in my art, and i do indeed get lost in my favorite movies, in a good way of course! All this to say; you got me good there.
Me: I hope Saint-Saëns and Satie are here Saint-Saëns and Satie are back to back Saint-Saëns: "youre refined and admire beauty in all its forms" Me: awww thats nice 🥰 Satie: "refelctive and depressive" Me: ok that hit right in the feels 😭 Maybe I find beauty in all its forms because I tend to mentally reflect on what makes them beautiful. Also I am a sad person.
These descriptions are all very spot on. I’d say Tchaikovsky and Dvorak are my favorite for larger ensemble settings, and for smaller ensembles I’d say Telemann, Haydn, Mozart, Handel, and Beethoven.
My favorite teeters between Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky because I'm a ballet dancer. The listed qualities match, except for the extremely organized. I do have a system, but even I don't know what it is.
There are many composers whose music is dear to my heart. Among those not listed here, Claudio Monteverdi, Manuel de Falla, Alexander von Zemlinsky, Luciano Berio and Cristóbal Halffter. But there are also quite a few who do appear. Thanks for sharing what their music suggests to you.
Along with Shostakovich and Sibelius, the descriptions are pretty bang on for me. Though i would say 'Epic, but obsessed with death' for Mahler, as well as the loner tag
Entertaining indeed. Fun stuff! ...yet some were off...like I always Loved Sibelius from the start, no long time needed to realize his genius. :) Thanks to all these brilliant souls for enriching the lives of millions!
I don't think Mozart's Requiem portrays the entirety of his work (and general vibe) very well. There's definitely a side of Mozart missing there, could've chosen something more stereotypical. Otherwise I love this video, very complete and well thought out.
Actually many people got into Mussorgsky through early experimental metal, such as Mekong Delta and there were more and "bigger" bands who covered his pieces.
6:02 I'm like Shostakovich if you take tiny elements from all the other composers and glued them to him, emphasising different parts of the complexity at different points in time, creating me.
I read somewhere once that the music of Mozart shows us what it is to be human, that of Bach what it is to be God, and that of Beethoven what it is to be Beethoven.
My favorite composer is Chopin (well, Bach also but who can choose between them?) but my favorite instrument is electric bass guitar. Piano is probably third.
For those of us who ARE perfectionists, we noticed that with the first composer mentioned, Joh. Sebastian Bach, you misspelled "perfeccionist." What's not to like about Barber? Bartók is frightening. Bizet's Carmen! Brahms, I loved Ein deutsches requiem, but cannot understand why the Germans don't capitalize those words. Bruckner was an absolute master of polyphony, others might equal him, but none excelled him. Never did appreciate Chopin. My granduncle played music with Antonin Dvořák in Iowa, here in The New World. Edward Elgar is, well, just TOO British for me as an Irishman. Fauré's Pavane is a meditation. Khachaturian, an Armenian born in Georgia who wasn't Russian enough to prevent the Soviets from denouncing him, poor man. Georg Friedrich Händel, as the German in my knows him, seems to me he was born the same month as Mr Bach and within 50 miles of him. Although he worked for an German king of the English, perhaps the work he's best known for, The Messiah, was first performed in DUBLIN, and while modern people associate it with Christmas, its proper setting is EASTER. Now we have good old Planetary Holst; how does a composer born in England get a name like Gustavus Theodore von Holst? It is nice that Liszt made it on the List, but he never did anything special for me, shame on me. Wagner, there is the matter of Adolf, how can a person love a composer who was so beloved by Adolf Hitler? Maybe it is a defect in me. Felix Mendelssohn is just too felicitous for me. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, there's my favorite, and you're playing the Lacrimosa movement from his incomplete Requiem, and not enough for me to know which version. Genius, absolute genius, and taken so young from a world that should have appreciated him more. Damned Catholic church. Modest Mussorgsky, your Night on Bald Mountain was featured in that fantastic film, FANTASIA! Jacques Offenbach and his Can Can, how many are blissfully unaware that that dance piece was composed by an internationally famous composer? Puccini - I sang the minor role of Gherardo in Gianni Schicchi, not O mio Babbino Caro. My mother's cousin, Emma Endres Kountz, had a concert pianist, had a piano built for her by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
"You don't understand why Fauré isn't famous." Not even my favorite composer, but I agree with this 1,000%. The Cantique de Jean-Racine is one of my favorite pieces of all time.
I feel like a good definition for Tchaikovsky (my all-time favorite) would be: You want to be stoic but can't stop yourself from losing it at times. (Which, I feel, fits me. LOL.)
I wished Rossini, Gershwin and Smetana were on the list though :( But thank you so much letting me know about the existence of Royer, Respighi and Scriabin, now I know what enriching rabbit hole I'll be entering this week :)
Love the Bruckner one. Not my all time favourite composer, but in my top 10. The Elgar one is a bit generalised. Yes, his most famous works are associated with British identity, but he had a broad range of styles.
There's a great deal of irony in your line on Brahms, while he was a genuinely nice person, modest, and widely liked by his contemporaries, he was also notorious for delivering absolutely brutal criticism of works presented to him by their composers asking for feedback. Hans Rott (who deserved the scathing criticism by the way) was even driven into madness because of this.
This is very spot on. Generally i do find myself to be Chopin and Shostakovich fan, but i definitely agree Khachaturian is underrated lol. Also, Offenbach did make me laugh so. Guess its a perfect description 😂 And yes, we need to hear more Fauré
I find that I am a lot of these on occasion, depending on circumstances. Love Bach when I listen to St Matthew Passion, then revel in the joy of life listening to ode to joy, then find myself deep in thought listening to Brahms 1st symphony, then remember I play piano and play the ballade no. 1 and go listen to Dvorak 9, and find myself to be a British nationalist even though I am from Russia. Then listening to Grieg piano concerto I remember that Liszt Liebestraum, and go back to the piano. After that I am reminded of the adagietto in Mahlers 5th, and go to Mozarts mass in C minor in consequence ziti my mood after the 4th movement. Then remember the true love that I have for La Bohème, and am reminded of Piano concerto no. 2 by rach and then Daphnis and Chloe by ravel. Then the favorite Richard Strauss with his Der Rosenkavalier suite, Also Sprach, and Till Eulenspiegel (you see I’m more of a straussian guy myself). Unfinished symphony after that, then dichterliebe, then 10th symphony (the death of Stalin), then violin concerto by Sibelius. It’s a never ending journey. Then performing a rite in spring, after listening to Tchaikovsky intro to sleeping beauty I remember Verdi’s Requiem and go on to Tristan und Isolde. So I feel as if it is all in me (besides Royer). I love classical music, it fills my life with never ending strive towards the divine through the beauty and complexity of the patterns it draws to keep me in contact with God in a nonsuperficial manner. The way you can only be actually honestly closer to the divine, by reveling in the deep meaning derived from classical music.
I just got done with a semester abroad in Finland and gotta say, Sibelius and Satie are nack and neck as my fav composers. They both influence my own compositions but for VERY different instrumentation
6:14 That's who that music writing software was named after. Currently using finale, though that service will no longer function on our Mac PC's after I finish my 4th semester. Musecore Studio will have to do, I guess.
It took a moment to run through my list of favorites and settle on Mahler, but the description nailed my personality. I do often prefer solo activities. Unless I'm playing a musical instrument. In that case, I'm all the way in the back in the percussion section.
I've recently started to get into Khachaturian, thanks to the inclusion of his "Adagio of Spartacus And Phrygia" in the movie, _IF,_ that just came out. I don't know if it was just the wonderful scene or if the piece was just that good, but I'm definitely hungry for more. Any recommendations?
i takes Beethovveni symphony no 4, but out of this list there is many very impressive also like these ; jean sibelius-Finlandia Erkki melartin-Wedding march fanny mendelssohn-string quartet in E flat major Clara Schumann-Prelude and fugue in F sharp minor
the Bruckner description fit me very well; i should listen to more of his works also for Scriabin i think it's more like: you're habited by some kind of higher force
Medtner : you're a melancholic person who likes to fantasize but you aren't a mainstream personality Rossini : You are an Italian nationalist Messiean : You're either a sucker for complex harmonies, a christian, or you obsessively love birds Bernstein/Purcell : YOU R GAE
It's hard to pick a favorite but Mendelssohn is usually my pick. I do feel quite a bit younger than my actual age, haha. In my 30s now but I'm not sure I'll ever feel like I know what I'm doing. 😅
Thanks - great fun, and IMO pretty accutate too! One important error: Schoenberg. ;-) What an amazing picture of Satie - I had never seen his likeness before. Or was it of someone playing an incompetent French detective in a black and white movie? Hard to believe anyone really looked like that outside a film!
These descriptions are just for entertainment purposes. Feel free to share what your favorite composers mean to you! Comment here who is your favorite composer.
Is Bruckner your favorite composer?
Maybe Holst?
@@leseux Yep😅. You’re right, my favorite composers are Bruckner and Shostakovich.
And...... Litvinovsky??!!!
Where????!!
I love them all except Berlioz who makes me scared.I missed Ligeti.
legend for time stamping the music
Only British nationalists like Elgar? There is more to Elgar than that. Cop the violin concerto.
Tchaikovsky Description: You’re organized and certainly smart
Tchaikovsky Himself: But what if…we used CANNONS as an instrument!!! Just fired them into the audience!!!!! NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN I’M USING CANNONS!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 yeah!!!!
Chaotically smart
You realise Tchaikovsky did that BECAUSE he hated the loudness right? Literally demonstrating that and mocking how people prefer loud noises and flashy style over substance, even suggesting that just adding cannons would get people more excited over your music than actually making good music.
@ Unfortunately for him, even without the cannons, the song was still amazing, so he couldn’t really prove his point XD
nah tchaikovsky was as depressed as they come 😂
Vivaldi would have loved modern guitar shredding
And that's why I love him
Royer would have loved death metal, apparently.
“Laid-back/peaceful” while Lacrimosa plays in the background
The problem is that I went through like 8 favorite composers while watching this video. So many good songs in here
Pieces
Mahler fan here. I don't need your description. I'll make my own description, in my own head. It will be so much more than just a simple description. It will be a whole world. It will be all that I need.
The hammer. It's the hammer. Trust me, I like Mahler too. It's the Mahler hammer. And the Second Mahler Hammer. And the forbidden fruit, the Third Mahler Hammer.
It’s because I’vs been thrice homeless.
I like how most of them is a positive description of a fans character rather than just a stereotype, like the other composer videos I’ve seen. Also I will check out Royer because of this video, I never even heard his name before.
he’s got the best pieces de clavecin imo
I am a metal head, and I too had never heard of Royer! Thanks for this fun TH-cam video, cytisum!
same here. not much about him on Wiki
same! He sounds incredibly experimental for the time.
I know him bc of a little part in a free program that was performed by russian dancing pair at the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002😅
>Complete edition
>doesn't have my favorite composer
guess I'll just sit in the corner and cry
well, who is your fav?
@@hfkazi1194Charles-Valentin Alkan, I'm certainly a member of the piano gang.
To be fair I'm also a fan of Prokofiev and Stravinsky so I can't complain too too much.
@@inuush «someone who does everything harder then it is»
Where's lily Boulanger 😢
Offenbach really looks like a troll in every picture
meme music from 19th century
4:42 What the...!! So metal existed long before the electric guitar was born!!!
[Unexpected blastbeats]
Yep, the closest genre to metal is actually classical.
“Beat drops on a harpsichord don’t exi-“
Schubert: "You are sensitive and thoughtful"
Me: *Begins to tear up instantly upon hearing Serenade*
Sounds about right lol, and the poetry part too I love making poetry even if it in my head
Ok, I'm quite impressed by the exactness of Bruckner's
It's a beautiful motto, methinks. It's not at all what would have come to my mind if I were to think about Bruckner and his music. But I love Bruckner and that characterization is flattering, so it's good.
I agree, I thought most of the descriptions were just for a laugh but this one seems pretty accurate.
My lifelong love affair with what is loosely called "classical music" began with performing Bruckner's Mass No 2 in E Minor. He was an absolute master of polyphony. If you've not heard what he's written for trombones, I urge you to give a listen to several pieces called Aequale, and also the motet "Locus Iste."
Was that back in the early 70s? Milwaukee? I was part of that.@@wisconsinatIon
I feel called out. Saint-Saëns and Satie are two of my favorites and I hate how accurate that was
Yeah, I felt that too!
Satie never fails to make me sob and I've listened to Carnaval des Animaux idk how many times. Still, nothing matches the range of emotions Claire De Lune stirs within me.
I love them too ❤ And also I love Bach because his music helps me with organising my life and problems
4:07 Ravel's music always gives me this warm fuzzy feeling... Description is very accurate as well!
It pains me that i will never have the stare of Shostakovich, it could split a hair
Sibelius, Strauss and Tchaikovsky are all spot on, it would have been cool to have Gershwin on here too! He’s so underrated… perfect for a fan of both classical and jazz.
Or Bernstein.
@@Alexandra_Indina Or Copland
6:44 or you just love someone who put like 16 cannons shot into a music
the transition from ravel to respighi is gorgeous
WHY ISN’T FAURÉ FAMOUS?!?
Happens to be my overall favorite. Of his nocturnes Horowitz said, "at home I play them all, but they don't sell tickets".
not that many good compositions? though france in 2030 could make him popular
Especially since he was a member of Earth Wind And Fire?!
He is
Who?
I didn't anticipate a TH-cam video reading my soul, thanks.
I'm absolutely and thoroughly convinced that Bach is the greatest composer of all, his music is the closest we have to feeling God's presence on this earth
I always say that when I enter heaven in addition to angels' singing, there will be the music of JS Bach.
Debussy is my favorite for my time on Earth, but Bach is my favorite for the eternities.
I also feel that way. The reason for this, in my opinion, is that he embodied the pinnacle of Christian-European culture! Unfortunately, it seems to me that extreme secularism is gradually eroding what you have called "God's presence" in mankind's artistic beauty. What a shame...
That's your opinion.
@@eileenhetherington3704 It’s true that it’s my opinion! Diversity of opinions is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? It sheds light on things maybe you’ve never heard or thought of before.

As someone, whose favourite composer is scriabin, yes i am indeed a pianist
are you mystical or philosophical or both?
@@andreoliveira685 i just find his music very interesting to listen to
OMG HE IS SO UNDERATED
Me: I hope Saint-Saëns and Satie are here
Saint-Saëns and Satie are back to back
Saint-Saëns: "youre refined and admire beauty in all its forms"
Me: awww thats nice 🥰
Satie: "refelctive and depressive"
Me: ok that hit right in the feels 😭
Maybe I find beauty in all its forms because I tend to mentally reflect on what makes them beautiful. Also I am a sad person.
The best video of this sort I've seen so far.
These descriptions are all very spot on. I’d say Tchaikovsky and Dvorak are my favorite for larger ensemble settings, and for smaller ensembles I’d say Telemann, Haydn, Mozart, Handel, and Beethoven.
The irony of misspelling “perfectionist.”
The description of Strauss II is so me in a nutshell. I am waltzing my way through life.
My favorite teeters between Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky because I'm a ballet dancer. The listed qualities match, except for the extremely organized. I do have a system, but even I don't know what it is.

Along with Shostakovich and Sibelius, the descriptions are pretty bang on for me. Though i would say 'Epic, but obsessed with death' for Mahler, as well as the loner tag
Mahler is the hammer!
Liked so I can come back and check which composers I still have to give a listen. Thank you for the video!

No Lully, Purcell and Garaev, few others missing too :(
Bach and Beethoven from availaible.
royer discovered by me from metal moments in classical music
Really nice video! Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you very much!
😂 FACTS….because Fauré is my favorite composer and I don’t understand why he isn’t famous
I don't think Mozart's Requiem portrays the entirety of his work (and general vibe) very well. There's definitely a side of Mozart missing there, could've chosen something more stereotypical. Otherwise I love this video, very complete and well thought out.
5:31 As a convinced Schubertian, I can live with that. Thank you for this entertaining video.
Dvorak ❤ Symphony no. 9 holds such a special place in my heart, I loved playing it
Mussorgsky: you have severe alcoholism
Liszt/Hanson: you attended arts camp as a kid
Actually many people got into Mussorgsky through early experimental metal, such as Mekong Delta and there were more and "bigger" bands who covered his pieces.
I love multiple composers and it all sounds about right lol. The list of compositions is awesome too, bless you
6:02 I'm like Shostakovich if you take tiny elements from all the other composers and glued them to him, emphasising different parts of the complexity at different points in time, creating me.
I read somewhere once that the music of Mozart shows us what it is to be human, that of Bach what it is to be God, and that of Beethoven what it is to be Beethoven.
For me, Bach is channeling the gods, Beethoven is open defiance of the gods, Mozart is just Mozart.
As someone that loves chopin and his favorite instrument is the piano you got me
Same
My favorite composer is Chopin (well, Bach also but who can choose between them?) but my favorite instrument is electric bass guitar. Piano is probably third.
2:51 should be "you play a brass instrument"
Sibelius was the opposite for me, heard his 3rd symphony as a teen and have adored his music since
The Bruckner 8th likewise converted me as a teenager.
Based on this list I should listen to more Rimsky-Korsakov and Schumann. . . Dvorak and Rachmaninoff were spot on. :)
For those of us who ARE perfectionists, we noticed that with the first composer mentioned, Joh. Sebastian Bach, you misspelled "perfeccionist." What's not to like about Barber? Bartók is frightening.

Thank you for not saying something snide about The Four Seasons for Vivaldi.
What a great video! I don't know what kind of magic is that, but here at home you scored all!!! Loved it!
"You don't understand why Fauré isn't famous."
Not even my favorite composer, but I agree with this 1,000%. The Cantique de Jean-Racine is one of my favorite pieces of all time.
Wow, if composers wrote fortune cookies...
Brilliant commentary. I especially like: "epic :)" for R. Strauss.
Man three in a row: Strauss II, Stravinsky, and good ole PIT, as well as Rimsky-K... I feel called out lmao
Former voice student/choir singer here. I'm definitely Schubert and a little bit of Barber.
Also yes about Haydn.
1:30 Or you simply enjoy fighting crocodiles in Egypt.
W reference
I love Little Einsteins!
Damn, didn't expect the Wagner one to be that accurate lol
Wonderful video and it peaked my interest in these other composers
Ralph Vaughn Williams: "Make no little plans - your spirit is benevolent."
Any Bach-worshipping perfectionist is troubled and disturbed by the spelling mistake in the first card.
I feel like a good definition for Tchaikovsky (my all-time favorite) would be: You want to be stoic but can't stop yourself from losing it at times. (Which, I feel, fits me. LOL.)
I wished Rossini, Gershwin and Smetana were on the list though :( But thank you so much letting me know about the existence of Royer, Respighi and Scriabin, now I know what enriching rabbit hole I'll be entering this week :)
Favorite composers are Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Liszt, Ravel, and Scriabin...u can probably guess what instrument I play
pianissimo
Kazoo
good taste
that's probably flute
You're literally a pianist fr
jk u prob play didgeridoo or smt
Love the Bruckner one. Not my all time favourite composer, but in my top 10. The Elgar one is a bit generalised. Yes, his most famous works are associated with British identity, but he had a broad range of styles.
Rachmaninoff, so accurate !
Copland, Emerson, and Händel
My heart is broken that you forgot Donizetti. Lol
Hilarious video, though! 😂
There's a great deal of irony in your line on Brahms, while he was a genuinely nice person, modest, and widely liked by his contemporaries, he was also notorious for delivering absolutely brutal criticism of works presented to him by their composers asking for feedback. Hans Rott (who deserved the scathing criticism by the way) was even driven into madness because of this.
This is very spot on. Generally i do find myself to be Chopin and Shostakovich fan, but i definitely agree Khachaturian is underrated lol. Also, Offenbach did make me laugh so. Guess its a perfect description 😂
And yes, we need to hear more Fauré
I find that I am a lot of these on occasion, depending on circumstances. Love Bach when I listen to St Matthew Passion, then revel in the joy of life listening to ode to joy, then find myself deep in thought listening to Brahms 1st symphony, then remember I play piano and play the ballade no. 1 and go listen to Dvorak 9, and find myself to be a British nationalist even though I am from Russia.

Then the favorite Richard Strauss with his Der Rosenkavalier suite, Also Sprach, and Till Eulenspiegel (you see I’m more of a straussian guy myself). Unfinished symphony after that, then dichterliebe, then 10th symphony (the death of Stalin), then violin concerto by Sibelius. It’s a never ending journey.

The way you can only be actually honestly closer to the divine, by reveling in the deep meaning derived from classical music.

7:09 How beautiful is that theme from "Rienzi" (Wagner)? Like it's not from this earth.
Moszkowski- you’ve listened to all mainstream romantic works and you crave for more lol
I know this is just another Barnum effect, but it is dead on with my favorite being Debussy

It's difficult for me to choose, i love like half of them. But Bach and Wagner i love a bit more...
My two favorite composers too! If I want to be relaxed and focus, I'll go for Bach. But if I have the energy and want to cry my eyes out, Wagner:)
@@TheGuitarSauce They're perfect
Maravilhoso!!❤❤
A bela música enobrece a alma!🥰😍
the Bruckner description fit me very well; i should listen to more of his works
also for Scriabin i think it's more like: you're habited by some kind of higher force
The only notable composer I noticed was missing is Rossini
I can't decide whether my favourite is Schumann, Beethoven, Vivaldi or greig, but I love all of their music
Thanks, now I don't know who my favourite composer is: so many of them are resonating with me. And what about Rossini?
Franz Joseph Haydn was an Austrian court composer. One of his melodies was borrowed for the German national anthem.
Love Bach and yep, “perfeccionist” is the spelling describing someone who made his “expresso” at Cafe Zimmermann. 😎
Medtner : you're a melancholic person who likes to fantasize but you aren't a mainstream personality
Rossini : You are an Italian nationalist
Messiean : You're either a sucker for complex harmonies, a christian, or you obsessively love birds
Bernstein/Purcell :
YOU R GAE
Same for Tchaikovsky, though. The last, anyway. Ask any Russian, absolutely any Russian, they will tell you.
I am a staunch fan and passionate player of Rachmaninoff's music, and his description fits really well to me.
1:10 which movement is this from
It's from the 1st movement:) th-cam.com/video/aIaoAuUSiYM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BvRNs1A3mpvtgYP0&t=187
1st Movement of Bruckner's 7th Symphony, conducted by Christoph Eschenbach. You can find it on the hrSinfonieOrchester channel.
It's hard to pick a favorite but Mendelssohn is usually my pick. I do feel quite a bit younger than my actual age, haha. In my 30s now but I'm not sure I'll ever feel like I know what I'm doing. 😅
Thanks - great fun, and IMO pretty accutate too! One important error: Schoenberg. ;-)
What an amazing picture of Satie - I had never seen his likeness before. Or was it of someone playing an incompetent French detective in a black and white movie? Hard to believe anyone really looked like that outside a film!
I absolutely love Holst, The Planets. But at the end of the day, I’m all about that Baroque sound. Bach and Handel are my all-time favs.
