I have many, many favorites, but I'll restrict it to two: the Sibelius violin concerto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWHwvvrBTEw Philip Glass string quartet no. 3 (from Mishima: a Life in Four Chapters) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk75H9ekWB8&t=3183s

My bird's name is Amadeus but it wasn't directly after the composer, and it's goofy of me but I'd really like to listen to more of the real Amadeus' music and am not sure where to start

My favourite composer ever is Stravinsky, but I like all Russians especially Tchaikovsky who I believe is one of the best of all time. This piece is one of the greatest performances of one of the greatest works of musical art ever in my opinion, I played this in my orchestra days along with the Rite of Spring and I owned the bassoon solos in both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZkIAVGlfWk LITERALLY A BIRD posted:Funny you mention this: I actually came in here with a I am strongly not a Mozart fan so these are some the only pieces of his I can stand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Y2B55nKZY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QoseGA3AdM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwub-9dZLFU CLAM DOWN has a new favorite as of 01:23 on Aug 7, 2017 |

Yeah, that was actually my main motivation for asking my conductor if we could look at performing it haha. The bassoon solo is one of the hardest things I've ever played but holy poo poo did it sound amazing after I mastered it, took me months: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfg9IIXhcPk Agreed on the lesser known pieces, I love this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDVlsm8MY-U This is another really fun piece we played that I really enjoyed the bassoon part https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDKzG2W0ICk

i took a 20th century music class in undergrad and was taught that "neo-romanticism" was the up-and-coming movement in western art music. i don't think that's true, but we listened to this piece, which is v pretty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki0y2tm04jM

Tchaikovsky is really great, and his ballets are phenomenal. On the topic of super cliche stuff, one of my favorite things about the Nutcracker is that the pas de deux is this incredible extremely dramatic and emotional piece, yet the main theme of it is literally just a descending scale. I think it really shows how incredible Tchaikovsky was that he could take something so simple and turn it into such an incredible piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRlIy1zNnyE I think my favorite ballet, however, is Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. Can't link it, though, because the whole thing is really long and there are too many good parts to link individually!

Pictures at an Exhibition is very good, but, even though I'm not generally a big fan of piano music, I much prefer the original piano version, especially for the Great Gate of Kiev. I don't think it's even close. Rather than having access to a full orchestra, to create a larger, more grand sound, it uses playing chords over multiple octaves, and on top of that switches between in-time and triplets in various places which creates an interesting effect, imo. It's the only piece I know of off the top of my head with whole-note triplets, spanning multiple measures. I think it's a shame the orchestration is way more common than the piano original. Here's the Hut on Fowl's Legs (abbreviated unless I'm going crazy, which I may be) and the Great Gate of Kiev together, because they're both great and technically don't have a break between them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eudSW4cM7qs
