Tom Statler Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Well, of course Le Sacre du Printemps, but here are a couple of faves a little more off the beaten path: Janáček's Sinfonietta, and the finale to David Diamond's 4th Symphony.

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 @Tom Statler I can't believe I've found someone who likes the beginning to Janacek's Sinfonietta! No offense, but it's the most annoying piece I've ever heard from a famous and now dead composer. I just can't stand it's insistent repetition! LoL But I guess - to each his own.

There are any number of works by famous composers that other people can't get enough of that leave me cold. Like, most Mozart, for example. What I love about Janacek is the way he was able to find a totally original - and instantly identifiable - way to speak through the orchestra. He doesn't do development in the Classical sense; he repeats little blocks of melody in different harmonic and textural settings, and it's the evolution of those settings that is the development. As others have said, it shouldn't work, and yet it does. IMO you can't listen to the 3rd movement of the Sinfonietta and not feel like you've been somewhere!
