Topic: Classical Music influence Posted: November 02 2016 at 16:36 |
Classical Music , had an important influence in my passion of prog-rock music ( and I believe in many of you ). When I was very young I've passed a long time hearing (with my father) MOZART, BEETHOVEN, BACH, VIVALDI, ALBINONI, BRAHMS, COPLAND, LISTZ, DVORAK and other masters. The question that I propose is : Which are your favorite classical composers and his favorite pieces ? My list is: Beethoven: 5th,6th and 9th symphonies, Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73 'Emperor' , Moonlight Sonata Violin Concerto in D major, Op.61 Romanza in fa+ per violino e orchestra Mozart: "A little night music" Symphony No. 40 in G minor Piano Sonata K.331 Dvorak: New World Symphony Bach : Brandenburg Concertos Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV 565 . Vivaldi: Guitar & Mandolin Concertos The Four Seasons Albinoni: Adagio in G Minor (Albinoni) Liszt : Liebestraum - Love Dream Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 Which is your list ?

If I'm not counting minimalist and avant-garde composers like Terry Riley, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich, my top composers are Igor Stravinsky (Rite of Spring, Dumbarton Oaks Concerto, Firebird Suite) Bela Bartok (Dance Suite, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta) Olivier Messiaen (Organ Works, Turangalîla-Symphonie)
I also very much like Schoenberg, Szymanowski, Shostakovich, Wagner, and Bruckner.

Ravel / Debussy / Satie - everything put esp. the piano pieces Chopin - Nocturnes Grieg / Smetana / Schubert / Lizst / Schumann / Dvorak etc. - the whole bunch of romantics Of course the popmusic of classical music; baroque: Bach / Händel / Telemann / Vivaldi / Corelli / Albinoni etc. Of course Beethoven and Mozart, but they are played to death everywhere, so no need to play them myselves. My favorites are (i guess)
Ma Vlast - Smetana Nocturnes - Chopin Pavane pour une infante défunte - Ravel Trois Gymnopédies - Satie Clair de Lune - Debussy Wassermusic - Händel Morgenstimmung - Grieg (cliché, but what the hell)

My top 3 are Beethoven, Mozart and Bach. I also love Hadel, Vivaldi, Haydn, Stravinsky, Mussorgski, etc. The list goes on and on.
My favorite symphonies, however, are Beethoven's 5th 6th and 9th, among many other beautiful ones.
My love for music started with my grandfather teaching me how to listen and understand music, and that's why I could not get into the pop/dancing oriented music, and that's the reason I got into the progressive side of modern (Back in the 70s it was considered modern) music of the times.

I've just been led by a book to investigate Stockhausen as an influence on Krautrock and am greatly enjoying a couple of very strange and noisy compilation CDs also including Schaeffer, Xenakis, Varese, Henry, Ligeti and Cage . I'm not sure though how they fit into "classical" apart from being composed by people with degrees in music. British prog rock seems to have taken more from the older classical music - 19th century and earlier?

I listened to Canon Rock back in the glory days of YouTube.... does it count as a "classical music influence"? ;)

... ohohoh Arnold Schoenberg - Verklarte Nacht ...I'm afraid none of his later works (that I've heard) comes close in affecting me the way this pre-12 tone, late-romantic string sextet does.

So, I bought a 1990s 2 CD set of the complete works of Varese and found it all very listenable. Is there any other serious "classical" music that combines orchestra and electronics/noise or other interesting sounds like this without becoming totally random? The original pioneering stuff though, not derivatives, so maybe up to the end of the analogue era in the 1970s.

Rominetti is interesting. The first classical composer using electric guitar. Some compositions by Ligeti could be Emerson Lake and Palmer (probably vice versa).

You'd think Google would come up with something, but no. Is there any of his music on the Web?
