It's not about the scheme. It's not about tricking somebody.

It's about dominating somebody.

Found it, finally! And looking at my description, it was just awful

Anyway, it's Chopin - Waltz no. 7

Good post, dude! Tons of interesting music I've never heard in there.

Lately I've been into Rautavaara's symphonies. He mixes old fashion lyricism, dense textures and dissonances to usually beautiful effect.

Here's the first movement from his 7th symphony "Angel of Light"

I'm not really well versed in his music, but I have a disc with Piano Concerto III and Autumn Gardens which are both great listens. Cantus Arcticus as well, for something a little different

Oh my god this thread exists. I'm not sure why I never thought of looking for it before, but as a professional classical musician (who plays exclusively newly composed music), I 'm loving THRILLED to have found this thread. AND the first thing I found people discussing was GODDAMNED ALVIN LUCIER WHO WAS MY PROFESSOR IN COLLEGE. Alvin is the best, and I'm super happy to see people enjoying his music.

Anyway, I don't want to immediately pimp my own music-making (though I will, if asked), but here are some of my friends playing music by Samuel Carl Adams. I'll give you guys 3 guesses as to who he's related to. He's writing some music for my group at the moment, so I am loving psyched.

He tries to tell people that he is alone, all by himself; he wants to love and be loved. His music is a call for acceptance, respect, love, underst

I've been reading his recent book collecting his lecture notes, Music 109 and listening along to the pieces he talks about in it. Pretty sweet and a great way to learn more about what specific pieces that might be kinda hard to get into are doing.

But when you cover just one of my eyes, everyone is 2D!

I'm not sure how I feel about this myself, but do you guys tend to prefer "Beethoven's" tempos for Symphony 5 mvt.1 (much faster than most conductors play it, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gXdWELSgEQ) or the traditional interpretation (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM3y09RjKLs)?

I find myself inclined towards something more in the middle (a la Kleiber's interpretation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqsT00B0ttI), but I tend to lean toward the slower and more weighty interpretation rather than the faster, lighter one.

Whoa, that's awesome. That's the course I took Freshman year . That course was a huge influence on everybody I know who took it, especially me. It's really wonderful that he's making it available to everyone! I might have to get my hands on a copy...
