Opinion :What's the biggest LOL WUT in music?

By far for me it's this:

Harmonizing for a given Soprano? Oh I think so.

Anything by Meridith Monk is a LOL wut?

Um... what? Meredith Monk is amazing.

Um... what? Meredith Monk is amazing.

:D AGREED!!! Except for her opera... Atlas was boring... lolz. Except for a few key moments. :O

Biggest lolwut ever.

Haydn trumpet concerto mvt I.

The stuff in the trumpet before the exposition.

0:28. An Eb.

A classic Haydn joke.

What's so funny about that?

Think history. :P That piece was written for the first chromatic trumpet. It's only funny in an intellectual sense.

The hammer in Mahler 6 for me. It's probably more of a WTF moment though when you see it for the first time.

:laugh: I bet some old lady on the audience really believed the percussionist got suddenly angry or wants to be fired from the orchestra.... the weird thing is that nobody told him anything ? :blink: .... what ? noone saw what he did ? .... oh wait, he did it AGAIN ? :hmmm:

Both parts? lolwut? It's one part for one pianist.

How about watching any part of this version of Wozzeck?

*Peter_W. does NOT remember Wozzeck being like that.

Mozart's Eine Musikalischer Spass.

Especially the sublime violin cadenza in the slow 3rd movement, and the final cadence of the 4th movement. :)

Also lol-worthy is the epic fail of a fugato that keeps trying so hard to assert itself, but can't get beyond a couple of bars of counterpoint. (4th mvmt)

lol

wut ..?

Edit: Even the minuet is hilarious. Everything is so stupid with it.......stupid horn writing, bad phrases, overly pompous gestures. I love this movement. Check out where the horns end up in the wrong key.. sounds pretty bitonal for a few bars. Also notice how hugely much the trio dwarfs the minuet itself. :P

Another great bit of genius from Mozart. He was lampooning lesser-quality professional musicians and composers such as might have been working in small towns or minor courts in Europe. There had to have been a million of them. In the Minuet, Mozart actually calls for one of the natural horns to put in the wrong crook (F-sharp instead of F), which is why it sounds so fantastically awful. A great favourite of mine, as much fun to play as it is to listen to...particularly on period instruments. I love the opening motive of the 1st movement - indescribably bad - followed by the skittery thing in the fiddles. And yes, the fugato in the finale is priceless.

My LOL WUT: The ending of William Walton's "Belshazzar's Feast." First time I heard this I was a ringing, sightreading the piece at dress-rehearsal and performance: the last chord with full organ nearly blew the windows out of 1st Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles. The whole piece is pretty WUT though. It's great, but sometimes I really wonder where Walton's head was.

My favorite LOLWUT still remains Ethel Merman Disco:

Sampliing for those whom I have not victimized with her rendition of Some People:

It actually starts of cool with the Jaws like opening ... and then and then ... well let the music speak for itself.

ANd here is my 2nd lolwut - Kurt Russel sings and not that bad for an Archie

The last 5 bars of Mozart's musical joke.

Though the entire piece is FULL of "LOLWUT" moments haha
