Hehe, my favorite is Paul Hindemith.
I heard a "friend" of mine say "who writes this stuff, and who actually listens to it??"
Yeah, he's one of the "proggier" composers if you ever listen to him.

At about 10 years ago I wanted to discover the world of the classical piano. In a record shop I asked for advise and then bought the CD Horowitz In Moscow. The most compelling pieces were from .. Sergei Rachmaninov: Prelude in G Major, Prelude in G Sharp minor and Polka de W.R., it's sometimes like galloping Huns! |
I've always been drawn to classical piano myself. Have you heard Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor Op.16 ....
. I just love that one, Rachmaninoff was a big fan of Grieg and this piano concerto
|
And Schumann's piano concerto. I would call that my top 3 piano concertos:
- Rachmaninows 2nd
- Grieg's piano concerto
- Schumann's piano concerto
I tried to play the Grieg one, but that's a bit too ambitious at the moment, not the beginning, but all the fast solos

You should listen to Hindemith's "Overture to the 'Flying Dutchman' as played
at sight by a second-rate concert orchestra at the village well at 7 o'clock
in the morning", and you will laugh your ass off at how he makes a mockery of Wagner in it.

That was no criticism of Hindemith. I love that piece of music. So why the  ?

My favorite classical piece probably is a Prelude by Bach, BWV 924.

Schubert's String Quintet in C Major, Berlioz' symphony fantastique, Penderecki's Meditations on the Victims of Hiroshima, Messaen's Quartet for the end of Time, Chopin's Ballade in F Major, Beethoven's 9th (yeah it's classic), and a lot of other stuff, but those are all really fantastic.

Excuse me, but Hindemith himself titled this piece of music that way! It is a parody of Wagner!
