Mahlertitan

consider this the last work that I will post in this forum , I will be away for quite while, vacation time for me! YAY! :closedeyes: Symphonic_Dance_in_A_minor.mid

do u have any solid proof?

Beethoven fifth symphony as a whole is not overplayed, it's first 4 second is

The music is good, but I think it has been overplayed, I prefer his 6,7,8 symphonies. And I adore his "american" Quartet

Is it me or is the last movement of Schubert's sixth very similar to the style of Rossini?

Dude, are u nuts? What you are doing is that you are making connections, if so, I can also make alot of connections,there are plenty of things in nature, or in our lives that comes close to 1.6 or 3.14, or 2.57, whatever... Read "The Golden Ratio" if u fantasize about an relation ship between Aesthetics in music and math, I certainly don't think aesthetics in music has anything to do with a number, my EW overture was based on the Fibonacci sequence for a reason, to disprove it's relation to music, bottomline, mathematicians don't write music, only artists do.

I think (now I have heard Schubert's sixth), Schubert's sixth symphony is a very delightful piece, not nearly as serious as Mahler's tragic or Tchaikovesky's pathetique, a very "fun" symphony to listen to

the difference between Xenakis and Cage is that Xenakis actually WRITES MUSIC! Yay! THat's why I like him better! (Although it will still give u a splitting headache afterwards....)

why not open up a poll, we can vote for new background colors, or we can pitch some ideas in now, and open other polls on other improvements.

Has anyone heard this symphony, I recently acquired A complete collection of Schubert's symphonies, and I was quite suprised what a piece of gem I got, the collection had all the symphonies that I know of, 1,2,3,4,5,6,8(first,second mov), 9. BUt additionally, it had fragments and other symphonic works by schubert that I was not aware of, for example, Symphonic fragments in D, D615, agadio-allegro moderato, allegretto, symphonic fragments in D, D708A, allegro vivace, Andante con moto, scherzo, presto. and an additional symphony #10 in D, D936 A. Has anyone heard of these pieces, I am just so shocked, that I have never heard any of these "unifinisehd" pieces, if anyone has heard any of these music, please to tell me more about it.

Listen to Beethoven Piano Concerto #4

This is an easy question: Tchaikovsky symphony #6 third movement Mahler symphony #1 yes, the entire thing Mahler Symphony #2 last movement Mahler symphony #5 third and last movement Mahler symphony #7 last movement Mahler Symphony # 8 yes, the entire thing Beethoven Symphony #5 last movement Beethoven symphony #9 yes, the entire thing Shostakovich Symphony #5 yes, the entire thing, although i think the ending is a little more profound than what you might think Shostakovich symphony #7 first movement Shostakovich Festive Overture Schubert Symphony #9 "Great" yes, the entire thing That's just off the top of my head, I can probably come up with more, but I think these works are pretty heroic, just think late romanticism.

I remember the simpson episode too, it's sad really, it depresses me, because there is so much beauty in classical music, well, it's their loss! My thoughts on mahler's 10th I have only heard two recordings of Mahler's tenth, and I am absolutely amazed by it, first of all, it's the least played Mahler's symphonies, because it was not finished, and I believe numerous musiologists have attempted to finish it, and they did, to an extend a fairly decent job, I guess this is the only blemish to this symphony, that it is not all mahler's music we are hearing, it's cook or whoever. The music is fantastically Mahler, he completed most of the symphony before his death anyways, the main ideas were his, the first movement is 99% original, and I'd say it is quite a movement, you can see the progression of Mahler going from very late romantic to modern there, a milestone for western music certainly. THe second movement, which is called a scherzo, but from this scherzo I heard melodies, rythmes he used in his previous symphonies, i dont know why, the melodies are all different, but somehow it reminds me of his previous works. THe third symphony is the most "scary" of all the music I have ever heard, do you know that he just found out that his wife was cheating on him, and wrote down words of anger on the margins, when i was listening to this movement, i swear that i felt that anger, it is especially strange when the music shifts to a very happy and vivacious melody, exquiste movement, the last two, I did not like as much, because I believe that most of those two movements were in short score, and probably not very original. In case any of you wonder what "death" sounds like, listen to his tenth

I started working on it some time in the mid Feb 2006, I make my music pretty fast, because I tend to work for 6-8 hours straight, no breaks. Because I only use friday afternoons to compose.

Nice piece, excerpt I think it should be a Scherzo instead, and not the first movement, unless the rest of your symphony is equally as playful and light hearted as this.
