haha this is such a pathetic review. all it does is describe the theme and lists the accompanying words.
also it would probably be better if peopled reviewed the actually overall 'performance' of the piece rather than the piece itself.
unless beethoven had a delorean

haha this is such a pathetic review

I tried reviewing a classical piece a few weeks ago but I couldn't because I found it incredibly difficult. Instead of bitching why not try write one yourself?

I played classical piano for 6 years (haven't for the past two years though), and Beethoven is one of my favourite composers. However, I think it's redundant to say 'composer A is better than composer B'. All the famous composers are famous because they were all brilliant, and whether you like one or not is not due to their ability, rather your own preference for the said composers music.

Anyway, your review wasn't bad, but maybe next time try to put some more detail in. I look forward to any more classical reviews

According to secret unknown sources, this review is 1 more than youve written. What hes saying is that classical is nearly impossible to review, and Id agree that its very tough. Im going to consider reviewing a classical guitar cd I have

If you want to redeem yourself, you have until Sunday evening to write a classical review. If you're not going to, then shut the fuck up.

Because instead of being encouraging, he just bags out the review by calling it pathetic. That annoys me.

I actually thought the paragraph was quite well written, if a little short. So instead of saying it's pathetic, I went on to tell him he should put more detail into it.
And no, the internet isn't a nice place, so I can say whatever the hell I want.

response to:"haha this is such a pathetic review'.



As a response to yourcomment: This first review was only

written in such laymen's terms for the purpose of describing a

great complexity; think of the human soul being a jigsaw

puzzle, and you have to put the pieces together; it's that

difficult. I respect your thoughts on what I must admit is not

really a review of this album, but more so, an introduction to

something so subjective. Music has a substance that is quite

subjective, if it could be explained rationally, or

scientifically, the purpose and desire of music would

die.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is incredible, in the sense of

interpretation and meaning. I have spent quite a time listening

to hundreds of recordings of this one symphony, and still, I

find something new about it to love even more every time. This

specific album is not that great, in the sense that it does not

achieve the purpose/intent that Beethoven was trying to convey.



And, the most important thing about classical music, especially

Beethoven, is getting the music right, so no, Beethoven doesn't

have a delorean, but in stead, we have his score of this

symphony, of which it is the job of the conductor to read and

interpret. I should have finished this review a long time ago,

but, if you want to hear a great recording of this symphony,

look to Herbert von Karajan with the Berlin Philharmonic, 1989,

his last recording of it; .This Message Edited On 01.12.08This Message Edited On 01.15.08

I am also so amazed at the feedback to this review/introduction. I've sort-of established a goal in life to share my greatest love and joy, with as many people as possible, for, classical music isn't called "classical" because of the instruments, but more so because it is a music that will never die, just as "classical" greek and roman literature.

amen.
btw, going back to the first set of comments, you can't really compare beethoven, bach, and chopin, considering they are all from different periods.
Bach - Baroque
Beethoven - Classical-Romantic
Chopin - Romantic

Edit: Maybe Chopin and Beethoven, but stillThis Message Edited On 08.17.08
