ima go against the grain and say Debussy, Grieg, Mahler and Liszt are the best composers ever. and this is coming from an avid, hardcore metalhead yall.
you dont have to know a lot about classical to enjoy it. Ive found that reading about the composers themselves adds much to their music...they are certainly not a bunch of stuffed shirts. the audiences that came to hear the performances could at times be anything but proper as well.I think I remember hearing of a virtual riot in Paris at one of Stravinsky's inaugural performances.
I am so fond of Debussy as well as Liszt for their ability to woo the average music listener such as myself and slip us into an alchemic pool of wonder. Academic types who coldy calculate and quantify beauty so as to fit it into a tidy box amuse me... but please, continue.
@sj73 Avant-garde? In what context? Today's? Not at all. During the late 1800's and early twentieth century? Maybe a little. During the late Baroque? Yes.
@Grothmanus Debussy's Creation might not be avant-garde
But his harmonies are the most complex harmonies ever made, without concluding schoenberg and his friends, who mostly did calculations and not music.
We live in a world that everything is permitted (musically speaking, mainly), people always want to break more rules, but we are not always live in the time of the peaks.
sounds cool! and by the way, i saw something really good. listen to both parts of this this guy, this music is flawless. search for "freakollo" in the search tab.
I have no idea, the cd I bought was on a budget label about 15 years ago, the conductor was named as Hymisher Greenburg and the European Symphony Orchestra but I have serious doubts about that!
@deviantrake This is one of my favorites. Very lush harmonies and mind expanding sounds. Compositionally, this piece is a splendid example of the psychoacoustical effect that intervallic symmetry in music creates. Thank you for posting this.
@KABRIS1 Intervallic symmetry would be more for atonal and 12 tone music. Debussy's music and all Impressionist music is that any chord can move to any chord. Parallel fifths and octaves don't matter, and every voice part can move in parallel motion. Symmetry is more of Webern and Schoenberg.
que bestia es el que no puede sentir tanta belleza en una melodia como esta
