Since I have shared this on discord, I must also share it here to earn a reputation point: It's funny as a satire and have me laugh as fxxk as always. Kubrick's use of Classical music is always so good!

My repertorie now (with links of my favourite recording): My original exam pieces would like to play but get bored by them: Bach Partita no.6 Debussy Feux d'Artifice Beethoven Piano Sonata no.32, op.111 Now I'm practicing these: Beethoven Piano Sonata no.31, op.110 Beethoven 32 Variations in C minor, WoO 80 Beethoven Diabelli Variation, op.120 My Own Piano Sonata no.3 @Chemathmusician0510 wow your repertoire is amazing!

I agree with everything you have written on here, AngelCityOutlaw. I have said the same things for a few decades. I have written many posts on Youtube songs as well as other music or musical gear sites. Just because something is complex in no way means it is good. And if something is simple, likewise, does not make it good. The 3-chords of the vast majority of Rock songs does not make them good. There are many that are, but most are not. I've written a few times that the playing proficiency of Jordan Rudess (Keyboardist from Dream Theater) is to be envied. But the guy knows nothing about composition. Or maybe I should write, "His compositions suck". Being able to play a thousand notes fast without error is truly something to be envied. But if the riff or stanza sucks, it sucks and shows nothing of merit for the song. I love a large number of pop songs, but let me take a sentence to define what I mean by "pop". I mean the songs that were hits on the radio. BTW, I stopped listening to radio in 1988 because I gave up on it. Nothing worthy of my listening time was being produced and I was constantly assaulted with trash that the populace embraced. The intelligence of the world listening society began diminishing severely by the end of the 1980's, and while there were still a few good bands and songs that "somehow" made it to the top of the mediums (I'm still not sure how I ever heard of Collective Soul, which came out in 1994 and I own about half of their CD albums), the vast majority (almost 100%) of music being played on the various mediums were dismal. For the record, I believe Beethoven was the Master of composition, but I do not like all Beethoven. His latter works stymie me. But up until that time (probably because he had gone totally deaf) Beethoven combined both Intellect and Good Feeling in all of his compositions. And they were extraordinary. Beyond amazing. Intellect as was given to us by Bach and Good Feeling (the beginning of the Romantic era, most notable in Chopin). When listening to any of Beethoven's music you can recognize brilliant intellectualism, and are amazed at how wonderful they sound (feel good) at the same time. The same cannot be said of the vast majority of the eras' composers that this thread started off naming for all the periods. I also 100% agree with your comments about the past 100 years of corrupt academics. That it could even possibly be imagined that Math Music is something, I hold with such total disgust (head shaking left to right)... Oh, one last comment. I read a news clip from a critic who wrote that he had heard Mozart play and thought that nobody could ever be better until he watched and heard Beethoven play (around the year 1800, if I recall) and he said that hearing Beethoven was like hearing the devil himself.

Hi! I created a realization of handel’s partimento fugue in g dorian, no 1! I would love some feedback on it! thanks

Hello I would like to give you an honest and loving opinion. First of all, I would like to say that I think it is an incredible and passionate work. But to sum it up, I think it lacks “passion”. You see, I have no doubt about your magnificent skills in counterpoint. But in a work of this type, the most complicated thing, from my point of view, is to develop an emotional “path”. I think that keeping a constant “full throttle” rhythm is difficult, but as a whole it is less expressive than when there are contrasts, “muted” parts, slower parts, moments of climax, etc... Therefore, as an exercise and counterpoint work it seems perfect to me, but I think that, even in this style, we can aspire to that emotional part. And with this I am not saying that it is not, but that I find that aspect a little lacking, especially in a work that seems to be worked in depth.

it would be really appreciated if someone gave feedback or even analysis on my newest work for string Orchestra. Audio from YouTube with score Conductor and performance notes if you need them Based off of MesoAmerican folklore and ancient dances and rituals will add flavor to any orchestra with many themes that are discovered having a soft slow section and ramping it up to a crazy end.

The title was misleading, to me. I kept waiting for a Hammond B3 to be heard in the arrangement, but alas... lol

Very impressive, @Aiwendil. This is an accomplished work.

I listened to the whole thing. It is always impressive to see other composers undertaking the task of writing in baroque revival - and you even use figured bass! I generally enjoyed your work, although building on @muchen_'s comment about variety I agree this is needed. I would also suggest using better sound sets to aid the listening experience. The latest musescore offers excellent sounds for free so there shouldn't be an excuse to not make use of that software package. I look forward to hearing more of your work.

Hello, Have there been an updates to this piece? Would love to hear them if so. I quite love this and actually think it fits the themes of the film itself quite well. I am not a composer myself but logged on here because of research on the film. Thank you. /vz
