>Didn't care when everyone told his music was too old-fashioned
Part of this is the basis of a great story of how Bach met Frederick the Great while Bach's son CPE was at Frederick's court. Frederick was a degenerate homo who didn't even speak German, so Bach put in lots of religious notes in the music in German

Bach was based. Mozart was a freemason who probably died of Mercury poisoning. He was drinking medication taking Mercury. 35 years old...sad.

Mozart was a troll.

He also got 4 weeks in prison when he wanted to leave Duke Ernst to join a position in another city that suited his abilities better. WTC/Gould

P&F in C minor is probably my favorite, but it really requires a proper pipe organ so you have the main motive in the pedal the whole time.

Here's another favorite.

I've been a semi pro guitarist for more years than I care to mention, I quit because "the scene" sucks and is full of narcissistic virtue signallers. I pretty much only play Bach now just for myself and in the pursuit of perfection for no other reason than I want to

i love the (((goldberg))) variations, the glen gould performance where he hums along is my favorite

Even audio-only, I can't dig it. But that's part of what's good about Bach is that there are so many ways to interpret it.

>that fucking face

He had recorded them in 1955 and 1973, he hums in them both.
Just how much ignorant is the average pollacks?
I ask this to myself everytime I see thread like this. Seriously why I'm wasting my time here?

I played what you might call rock/pop for many years now I play classsical

They probably listen to it on their boom boxes and shitty earbuds. I don't even have an expensive or fancy rig, but most people simply don't know any better because they listen to compressed bullshit rattling out of their talmudvision boxes and try to play music with their iphones.

whoops i only remembered hearing it in the 1973 one, please be patient i'm retarded

To wit, back in the earlier days of house/trance, I pointed out to a friend of mine who has unusually good taste in house music how you could hear the vocals hiccuping away because of the kind of software they had at the time to sample the track down to whatever tempo was dialed in without changing the pitch, or vise versa.

He said he never noticed that before. How can you not notice that in a damn club or whatever? Maybe he just never really thought about it.

I'd like to take this opportunity to bring attention to the incredible European invention that is the pipe organ. Where else in the world did people make such complex mechanical monsters before the industrial revolution?
White people amirite?

I'm in classical music, and I can't count the number of professional musicians who say the same thing. Guitarists, organists, cellists, etc. Liberals grasp that there's something there beyond the material, but only conservatives really identify with him.

Tchaikovsky is best

We need more threads about great composers to introduce newfaggots and brainlets to Germanic excellence in the realm of music. Besides Prokofiev (Slav I know), Bach is my all time favorite.

Yes, if you have nine focused consecutive generations focused on music, and grow up with the most learned consummate musical education in the history of mankind, you can accomplish all sorts of things.

Unfortunately we're all mongrels with boomer parents.

I think it's because I used to like to hit myself in the throat while I was singing when I was a child. Or sing into a fan. It creates a similar effect.

Yes, the church organ is really something, the whole building is the instrument, they are indeed fantastical

Wolfie and it’s not even close, wagner is second, bach is honestly not even top 5

Anyone lurking ITT check out the Brandenburg Concertos 1-6

Ever played one? I got to do so once and my family, already in the parking lot at that point, remarked what it sounded like even from outside the church. Watching videos from people who show how they build and tune them is better than porn.

Reptilians and greys have already destroyed it. They hate us.

>Advice for glorious historical talent

I only play a little piano, Bach's prelude in C Major from the well tempered clavichord, probably the only piece of "easy Bach", so no never played a church organ, It must be mind blowingly transcendental to be able to play

Yep. Based post too.
The other day Google had Bach on their homepage. I was pleasantly surprised. It might be the only non-jewish straight white male Google will show all year

What about Ludwig van?

when they have full control of information they'll rewrite history and Bach will be jewish

I really like the keyboard because it's like drawing music on graph paper for my mathematical mind, which makes it even more fun to translate that into a guitar or something else that can't do the same things. I'm not even really that good, but somebody told me which stops to pull out to get all the high pipes going and I wound up flooring the pedal during the forte section. It was like DRIVING IN THE 90s.

If only I knew how to foot the bass pedals. That would have completed the experience, but that's just not something you can easily practice at home going in to it.

This is still something completly incredible to me.
Sometime these people even have to guts to discuss music with you. As they're "listening" to something for starters.
Yesterday I was talking to someone who listens Sunn O))) on pc speakers - you get it?

Wolfie sucks.

1. Wagner
2. Bach
3. I don't know, maybe Beethoven.

Shut the fuck up

He wasn't particularly conservative or old fashioned. Some contemporaries disliked him because he modulated so much into keys thats sounded weird before equal temperament tuning.

Strictly speaking, he's a meme. But he's alright.
>build and tune
Seen a this in person and it's nuts when everything is done mechanically. Tracker action.

I bought a Sunn O))) album more than a decade back, but even with the best I could do at the time I couldn't hear a damn thing at all other than distortion. So yeah, I know what you mean. Every once in a while I pull out an old album I liked and now all of a sudden I can hear so much more that I never knew was even there.

Too bad now I'm old enough that my ears ring and I can't really hear things. I think it's a sign that this should be generational and that old people should gift the youth with good teaching and equipment.

I believe the pedals are basically big foot sized keys. You could go ask an organist for some lessons

It might be the practical way to go, but I don't like the widespread use of electric tuning pedals for electric guitars and such. It's much better when you get one girl on the oboe to establish A, and then the whole room has to tune to that.

My brother once bought a bass guitar and it was a bit of a revelation to him when I told him how to tune it by listening to the beat frequency and turning the peg until it evened out. You get more of a natural tune instead of an even tune that way, but it works out considering how the intonation is usually off anyway.

Yeah, that's how the bass pedals are arranged. But you have to have muscle memory to hit them right, as well as a being able to control now four limbs each playing different parts. It's the sort of thing that gets me to respect drummers even though usually the drummer is just the guy who hits things real loud.

The point it's not if you're listening drone metal, folk, or baroque, the point is: what do you think are you actually listening through the pc speaker?

DESU tuners are a revelation for the many musicians, they weren't common or cheap when I began playing and tuning was a task to learn in itself

The worst is when you're trying to enjoy an acoustic guitar piece and they have the B string all out of whack and none of the chords sound any good. That B string is a bugger, but if it doesn't blend in properly then no tuner is going to save anything you play from sounding out of tune.

Here's a performance on a clavichord

But I think that journey of learning how to tune is important, because without doing that you aren't yourself in tune with your instrument. You won't know it that well. And if you regard the space you play in, or the amplifiers and speakers and whatever else might be involved, then you can't play all of those things as an extension of your instrument.

Just like with feedback, you need to be able to hear how it's coming out in order to adjust how you're playing. Just like if you had to sing in a choir as part of going to school. You have to hear yourself, not the assjob who's moaning away next to you off key like a wounded animal.

I'm no musician or a refined listener but I was listening to these two.

Guitars are a bugger and sometimes my ears get over sensitised and everything sounds out of tune and I have to go home and cry myself to sleep
There's truth in what you say but for beginners the tuner saves them so much ear ache and gives them a chance to hear what it sounds like when it's really in tune

I'm no musician or a refined listener

Who cares, Rossini is amazing, but why no Italiana in Algeri?

My first instrument was a violin, back when you had to get them in a quarter or a half size for children. Obviously that's going to come out sounding like a cat getting run over until you learn just by memory where to put your fingers to get the notes right, because there aren't any frets. When I later in life picked up a guitar, I was astounded how my hands went to the right place on the neck for the note I wanted, but I didn't even need to get it exactly right unless I wanted to fret it a particular way.

I very much believe that the development of a child's mind can be rooted in this kind of intuition, because it's really just a basic mathematical equation that determines the vibrational frequency vs. the point on the neck vs. how hard you press down. I very firmly believe that it is a great loss to the general level of cognitive capacity of our your to have removed the possibility of musical education from our schools.

1min in and still no tits. Thanks for wasting my time.

absolutely agree, children need some discipline in education in the years when their cerebral plasticity is at it's prime, I think children's schooling should be done by the time their 12 and they should then be self guided having been equipped with a superior education in the three Rs and art music and sport

Music and sports, just like Greek paideia, I completely agree

Part of what's so amazing about Bach is that it doesn't really need "expression" or "interpretation", you can literally program a 8 bit synth with a rigidly programmed piece and it will still sound amazing

youtube.com/watch?v=M2kcOCsALnw

So true. It's like a computer program. You almost can't get it wrong if you don't make a total mess of it.

The other thing I like for warming up is Beethoven. Because for that it's still the same sort of long-scale chord changes but it just begs you to play it like a complete psychopath.

He's good, but I like Mahler better, I used to just plug the phone to pic related and play the finale of the 8th in loop for hours while playing mmorpgs, I'm quite an expert at this point but I'm surrounded by plebs here in Iowa so I keep it to myself

Get a turntable. They engineered records so that you would have room for one movement per side. And that way you can get up to piss or not get heart disease from sitting all day long in order to turn it over every so often. Mahler is tough to find a good recording of, but it's wome snob good stuff when you do.

Very accurate.
And the genius composed music for so many different instruments...I have a CD of Bach for Mandolin....this might as well have been Eddie Van Halen of that era. When I listen to the genius, I can imagine all the broads nearing orgasm as they first heard it performed.

I watched a master class by some jazz guy a few years back in he was adamant in his demand that you practice without expression but simply play as straight as possible at all times and it really stayed with me. Expression takes over becomes false and habitual, when you play without it for the most part it's use becomes something real

Can you elaborate on that? Jazz musicians are interesting to me. I particularly enjoy Jazz-inspired drummers.

He was pointing out the tendency to over emote everything and become a player that has a set of expressive mannerisms that are affectations and habits and whilst one might like to think that's a personal style it is really a kind of lazy posturing. The idea is to get as much from the music as possible without resorting to stylistic cliches and habits. Or more simply learning to be in control, if you can't play it straight why would you expect to be able to play it with "expression"
Jazz is a lifetimes work and I guess I'm half way there but have dropped out of social music in favour of the solitary pursuit of perfection and the glory of god..........

>if you can't play it straight why would you expect to be able to play it with "expression"
Wise words. As usually a member of the rhythm section, I always liked the saying that you should learn to play the silence as much as the notes.
