Caro Sr. Amarelo - Adorei a musica e até as pinturas - de quém são?

[Orlymusicboy]

he is romantic... ever heard of the French romantic school?... Faure was essentially the first composer of it... also taught Ravel and Debussy...

[Hajnikovmuz]

wonderfully performed, though, to much reverb for chamber music

[werq34ac]

@waywardhighfive Faure is not either, he is Impressionistic.

[Astron278]

@werq34ac He's not impressionistic. He can't be classified. There's really a lot of Romantic elements in his works. And there's a classicist balance his compositions. So I'd say he's pretty much off the mainstream, a separate figure belonging to no 'style'.

[lemony1213]

@Astron278 he most defenitly is impressionistic

[lemony1213]

@Astron278 this is defenitly is impressionistic

[emanonami]

@lemony1213 Really? Doesn't strike me as impressionistic, more late romantic.

@waywardhighfive if you don't generally like classical music why do you allude to Faure's music as describing this transition? I recognise that "like" and "interested in" can be mutually exclusive but to identify this feature requires a familiarity with classical music that belies your dislike of it. Why did you punish your ears?! I can only conclude that you have an interest in music theory in the context of another genre, or that you were forced to learn it at school/college! (?)

[waywardhighfive]

@jazzmunky My comment was not clear. I don't mean to say I don't respect classical music, I was simply saying that the harmonic language of Faure and his contemporaries is much more interesting to me than that employed by composers of the classical period. When I say he embodies a transition, I mean that I hear elements of classical music in his, while I also hear a freedom of the constraints of classical music that suggests the more free harmonic language of later "serious" and jazz composers.

[waywardhighfive]

@jazzmunky Also, way to make a huge assumption about my education based on one comment. People have different tastes in music. Get over yourself. Not EVERYONE thinks classical music is ~OmG tHe bEsT mUsiC eVaR~! Those who don't aren't any less of a human being or less intelligent because of it. I believe a lot of the reason why this kind of music is increasingly unpopular is because the average person is turned off by how condescending the pretentious dickholes that listen to it are.

[jazzmunky]

@waywardhighfive What a lovely response! I wanted you to explain your comment (I was interested) but clearly I misjudged the situation. I guessed your background, basing my deduction on assumptions, yes, but then I asked you fill in details! But I forgot that on Youtube everyone thinks they're being insulted. Now you have responded with some strange assumptions about me, and insults. Although you haven't asked, my musical preference is in my username. People are not all dickholes. Kind regards.

[jazzmunky]

@waywardhighfive re-reading my message, I can see how you can read it in a different tone to my actual one. But can't you see I was actually complementing you on your knowledge of music? And the "why did you punish your ears?" joke was pretty funny (not smug). The sentence starting "I can only..." isn't meant in a condescending way about your eduction but is just another way (admittedly stilted, or "pretentious" from your angle) of asking about your background. Why is everyone nasty? Boo hoo!!

[jazzmunky]

Respond to this video... That comment was a question by the way (because I'm nosy)

[waywardhighfive]

@jazzmunky Let me be clear - when I speak of this transition I don't literally mean that Faure alone embodies it. Obviously there were countless other composers who contributed to the evolution of the more free harmonic language of more recent music. It was just simply my thought when listening to this.

The little muted interlude is one of my favorite passages in chamber music! Thanks for posting it! :-)
