    Beethoven said that Handel was his favorite composer. My favorite composer is Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky's favorite composer was Mozart, but he explained it by saying it was Mozart's Overture to Don Giovanni that excited him as a kid (and that he doesn't know ALL that much more Mozart). When I heard that, it suddenly made sense. That overture by Mozart is thrilling. I particularly love the dark, crawly, eerie stuff, and I'm sure there is a lot of that in Swan Lake, the Pathetique Symphony and other works. My second favorite composer is Beethoven and you could say my first favorite composer was Beethoven -- because he was my favorite composer before Tchaikovsky took over. Tchaikovsky clearly liked Beethoven as well. The opening theme to the Pathetique Symphony are the same notes as Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata. It is not by coincidence. He also quotes Beethoven in other ways in works designed after works of Beethoven. Also, if you take the opening notes -- played in broken octaves -- played by the violin solo in Beethoven's Violin Concerto, remove the octaves, then add just ONE note, the B-flat, as a kind of "false start," you will find that the violinist plays those very same 8 notes at the beginning of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. It is no coincidence. I'm pretty happy with both composers. My favorite composer story just might be of Handel. It is said that he liked to eat and that one day he ordered seven main courses at a restaurant. When the waiter took forever to bring him the food, he pounded the table, "Where's my food?!!!" The waiter said, "I was waiting for the rest of the party" to which Handel replied, "I AM the rest of the party!!!!!!!!"

      ​@@unsofy_07Well, symphony 45 isn't "angry" properly speaking.
      Most people just don't get Haydn anyway. In fact, most people have never listened to any of his symphonies carefully. The guy literally invented everything, and he doesn't get any credit for it. The reason he's not as popular as someone like Beethoven is because his music doesn't have the same immediacy of expression. Haydn's music is rather sophisticated, but very few listeners care about that, so what can we do?

    I saw another video like this saying that ir "you love Wagner, you most likely love film music" and I think it's more accurate to my persona since I'm a big movie buff.
    Btw my Great Uncle loves Handel, mostly because he went to England and he loves british culture (most of his favorite rock bands are english, he's a beatlemaniac).

    You should definitely check out more on Prokofiev. I think his orchestral works top his piano works by miles, and hos Romeo and Juliet is THE perfect ballet. The music is just perfectly connected to the story. His Cinderella is also one of the most beautiful ballets. I find his 2nd and 3rd piano concertos absolutely amazing, and his 1st symphony is an iconic masterpiece.
    I'd say if your favourite composer is Prokofiev, you probably think you live in a world full of wizards and magic, his music just has this magical nuance to it

    Mozart uses the same chord progressions, but the voice leading is clever and solid. But he just uses the same chord progression if you think about a chord like a jazz musician, if you you view the single melodic lines, then Mozart uses various types of chord progressions/contrapuntal lines. If you view every chord as functional derivatives of the I or V, extensions and the use of relative major and minor chords smear the line between major and minor (modes) wich does not generally fit the style of Mozart. I also wouldn’t say that Mozart is repetitive at all even though he is more strict on keeping the original form of a motif when creating variations, then let’s say Beethoven in general.

    I obviously have a lot of disagreements with what you say. Some of them.
    Bruckner music is deep, yes. But she's not sad. Which piece is sad?
    Haydn is the father of the symphony and the string quartet. I find his works magnificent. Beethoven owes him a lot. His music is happy and optimistic, and therefore, he is a reflection of his times. The era of "lumières”. Philosophers and artists believed that man was heading towards a bright future. He has slow movements that are as deep as those of any other composer. That of Symphony No. 99 for instance or in its quartets. I also think of the last movement of his quartet OP 54 no. 2. What would not have been written if Beethoven had composed it.
    I am neither German nor a music theory teacher and I like Schonberg. He's one of my favorite composers. Quite simply because it’s very beautiful to listen to. Now you know there is at least one person who likes Schonberg.

    Dude, no need to apologize. You were spot on. In a strange sort of way. It's hysterical. The one that killed me was, "Likes Ananas on their Pizza". Like I totally got that instantly, though I don't know why. :) Why would religion make you a sick person? It's there to make you change your life, and be a better person.
    No... it's not just about you. I get the joke... it's highly accurate, again in a strange sort of way. Tchaikovsky, just listen to the Cherubim Hymn. That's one of my favorites. That style of music was mourning Russia's decline.
    Handel's Messiah is one of my top favorite classic pieces. It just hits every musical range, and is about 100 years ahead of its time at parts.
    My favorites are Dvorak and Tchaikovsky.
    Seriously, listen to this performance of Handel's Messiah. You'll come away with a new appreciation for him:

    It's kinda sad that a German can't tell the difference between Sweden and Finland, like... you're so close to them. Also you could've rectified it by actually saying something meaningful about Sibelius, one of the greatest symphonists of all time. Also which piece did you use by Clara Schumann? It's gorgeous.

    I'm not a music nerd by any means, I don't play any instruments, but I always disliked Haydn. Never could see the appeal. I'm glad it's not just that I "don't get it" or whatever. My favorite composer changes from day to day, but it's Debussy a lot of days, so maybe that's just all my different personalities popping in to say hello.

    • @jesustovar2549
      @jesustovar2549 9 місяців тому +2

      "Bombastic to a ridiculous degree", that's probably the reason I like him, I love EPIC music, I also love film music so it's a complement, Wagner really developed a lot of aspects that will continue in cinema, writing his own scripts, designing his own theatre and scenario, he was a proto-filmmaker, it's because of him that lights are turned off in cinemas when a movie starts, he applied to that to opera.
      In case you're wondering, I'M NOT a racist dictator, stop dismissing Wagner fans as if we're all toxic, I know elder wagnerians that are nicest people, there are Wagner pieces that are calm, his piano pieces are REAAAALLY obscure, Siegfried Idyll is very nice to hear in it's version for chamber Orchestra.

    Considering how many extraordinary pieces Dvořák gave us, and how rarely he’s performed around the globe, I feel like he’s one of the most underloved composers around (you wrote a perfect interpretation, you know the guy you have in front is truly interesting if his fav composer is the might Antonin), in facts besides the mighty 8th and 9th simphony he composed the water goblin, in nature’s realm, the czech suite, the well known cello concerto, the dumky trio, the 8 humoresques and all of the slavonic dances. Masterpieces
