Now then!
By no way am I a total authority, but from Haydn to Khachaturian, I hope to discuss much music.
Though I am new here and intend to stay, I wish to produce a list and receive one from everyone, of all of the classical music you wish to recommend to other users, it's a good cultural exercise, considering that classical music is owned by the bouregois bastards, we need to take it back, compose our own classical music and show those fools that classical music can have a working class basis (see Voloshinov and Vygotsky for their convergent although different ideas on art, class, language and culture - all of which are one and the same) - so I have composed a list of classical music, that which I feel is worth listening to to date, though for time and attention, I will limit myself:
Alkan - Preludes
Alkan - Concerto/Symphony for solo piano (How can anyone perform this?!!?!?!? Utterly beautiful)
Bach - Passacaglia und Fuge in C min (The key to all modern music)
Bach - Goldberg Variationen (The key to all modern music)
Bach - Das Wohltempierte Klavier (The key, quite literally , to all modern music)
Bach - Violinkonzerte, Werke fuer Violinsolo, Flautsolo od. Flaute mit Klavier
Bach - ALL of his cantatas, religous and secular (These are the only potential things that may convert me to christianity)
Bach - Everything by Bach is good.
Bruckner - Every single Symphony and Mass by Bruckner is gorgeous, without him, we would be lacking the unexpected modulation in most popular rock songs - Symponies "nullte"-9 in completion + Helgoland cantata. Bruckner as a genius, led to the genius that was Mahler, no matter what he thought of himself for being a "lesser Wagner", which was unsubstantiated - I felt more emotion in Bruckner than Wagner -, he composed equally fascinating and heartstopping music.
Chopin - Nocturnes, I cannot begin to comprehend the feelings these invoke when people insist that it is "background music", they are high tragedy.
Chopin - Polonaises, though a dance written for courtiers, the emotions invoked in the "tragic" polonaise.
Delius - his songs
(list a minor work in progress....)
This alphabetism is getting annoying! to classical music! I haven't even gotten to Mahler and I feel tired! Comrades! I hope the following resource may be useful:
"imslp.org" for having been down for a year "Feldmahler" has reopened the page following a needless legal pursuit.
***Move to other forum of which I was unaware*** (The gaudy interface of this site is difficult to navigate)
