guys after seeing Michael Nyman in Milan I fell in love with classical music, something that I previously ignored due to some stupid prejudices.
i wanted to ask if someone would be so kind as to give me a concise yet detailed lesson on classical music and which works I could start associating with it to train my ear
for example they told me to start listening to Beethoven's 5th and 9th symphonies
but I would like to know if you could list the major exponents, what type of music they made, and which works, going all the way up to contemporary and modern ones
type, they told me that hearing Beethoven with the piano isn't beautiful but there are strings and other things, and then for example that Allevi and Einaudi are commercial and not real pianists
differences between sonata, symphony, and concerto
then who made vocal music and who instrumental?
the major exponents: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven
did Bach do one type and Mozart another? or am I confused
please give me a good lesson because as you will see I don't know much and I am confused =)
I recommend visiting my Classical Music website which (modestly) is very well made.
You will find a catalogue of compositions by over 60 composers ranging from the 700s to the present day, accompanied by many listening guides.
I think that to get an initial overview of a composer's work, one must always start with their catalogue, which provides an overview of their work, and then begin to delve into individual compositions.
Is it enough to reply to the discussion or is it necessary to quote the post?
And how do you quote it?
Thank you.
