It's Bach, I know that much.

It's the Fugue part of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor :thumb:
If anyone wants that song I can probably upload it.

For whoever asked for a good program to download classical music, use Bittorrent, since you can download whole albums. Or just go to the library, borrow whatever CDs you want, and rip them to your computer.

I forget the name of it, but I know Ulver also uses it for a section of the "It Is Not Sound" video, and it is on Fantasia. I will find the name for you.

EDIT: Beaten lol

Thanks. Where could I get Bittorrent?

[URL=http://www.bittorrent.com/]Here.[/URL] Google for explanations on how to use it.

I don't use it often, because I have tons of CDs at home.

[QUOTE=CabbageStabbage]Baroque music is the style of music that preceded Classical music. Anything from J. S. Bach and earlier, after Renaissance music, is baroque.[/QUOTE]
Bach is the only composer whom an era was based off of. Starts when he's born, ends when he died.

You guys are file sharing classical music! That's awful. If there's any type of music that doesn't get a lot of sales, it's classical music. If there's any type of music where the performers have more talent but have less money than pop musicians, it's classical music. Plus, you could be downloading a version done by a youth orchestra for all you know. Do yourself a favor, and go to your local record store, go online. Get yourself some legit recordings done by proper orchestras.

Berlin is thought to be the best, just so you know. But Chicago has the best brass section, in my opinion. Joe Alessi is a beast though. You can never argue against the NY Philharmonic.

But you see, I live over an hour away from a decent record store and I rarely travel that way. I am wanting to try out some composers to see if I even enjoy their style before I go buy records.

And thank you CabbageStabbage :)

Listen to the radio.

You're a classical guitarist? Listen to Yepes.

[QUOTE=KSas]Bach is the only composer whom an era was based off of. Starts when he's born, ends when he died.[/QUOTE]

Bach was born in 1685, died 1750. Baroque music started around 1600. Bach's style is late baroque.

Downloading music is a very good way to get into music. Especially a world as large as classical music.

I just now saw [url]http://www.classicalarchives.com[/url] on the front page, and I love it.

[QUOTE=KSas]You guys are file sharing classical music! That's awful. [/QUOTE]
No it isn't. If I hadn't been able to download music first to check it out, I doubt I would be listening to classical music at all and I wouldn't have bought any of the classical CDs I own.

[QUOTE=KSas]Bach is the only composer whom an era was based off of. Starts when he's born, ends when he died.[/QUOTE]
No, the Baroque Era is never dated around 1685-1750, which is when Bach lived. It is sometimes said to have finished in 1759 with the death of Handel, but it certainly goes back to the early 1600s. I did post about it a few posts ago, see that if you want to know...

So, I found Carl Orff's Carmina Burana amongst my CDs. I just love epic songs.

yes please, I would love it if you uplaoded it ( if it's still allowed to upload? :confused: )
otherwise I will have a look for it on p2p

thanks a lot for this :D

I downloaded BitTorrent, what sites should I be using to browse files? I can't really figure it out, and Google hasn't helped too much. I guess I could just copy albums from the library, but I am looking more for classical guitar/solo piano stuff.

Ok, since this is a classical music thread thought i could ask this here...i'm looking for some classical/baroque music to listen to, but i'm looking for something in particular. It has to have a grim, doomy, either depressive or evil kinda feeling to it. Any recommendations?

Check out some funeral marches or funeral music, they often have a very dark feel to them.

Jón Leifs' "Dettifoss" is like standing on a cliff and looking down in Hell.
Krzysztof Penderecki's "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshime" is pure pain and creepiness.

[I]Depressive:[/I] Ludwig van Beethoven's "String Quartet No. 14 in C sharp minor, Op. 131: Adagio quasi un poco andante (6th movement)" is very sad, but short. You may know it from Band of Brothers.
Johannes Brahms: Piano Quartet Nr. 3 in C-minor Op.60 Allegro Non Troppo (1st movement)

mozarts requiem is ace.

^^ Requiem is my favourite classical piece.

Also, I fell in love with Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite today (again). :)

I honestly hate the Nutcracker. I think it's because I've had to play it 100000000000 times in orchestras and the bass part is very boring. And the music doesn't do anything for me. I could see why someone would really appreciate it, though.

Listening to some Debussy right now. Prelude a l'Apres-midi d'une faune is great. I love the flute part.

I can understand that, but I haven't listened that much to it yet, and I'm not planning on listening to it that much. I variate a lot in listening music, so I don't grow tired of albums fast. :)

^ Yea, I usually don't grow tired of classical songs, just the Nutcracker in particular because I've had to endure all those boring practices. Tchaikovsky is a wonderful composer, though. I love most of his other works.

I need some help... I'de like to play Eliot Fisk' version of Paganini's 5th caprice but I can't find any sheet music for it. :upset:
Does anyone know if it was ever published? If so where could I buy it?

Thanks.

:D grieg!

Try Sheetmusic.com. It's an okay site, you may find it there.
My order of Claire de Lune just came in today :D . Such an awsome song, and now I can finally learn it!

I just got home from a performance of Rutter's Requiem at St Paul's cathedral, it was wonderful.

well, i didn't have the time/patience to read EVERYthing on this thread, so maybe this was already covered, but... where can you get these classical pieces arranged for guitar? i've seen several books that use excerpts from classical music to teach different techniques (i have on on fingerpicking, for example), but is there anywhere to get a full score arranged for guitar?

Speaking of epic songs, I've been listening to Mozart's Requiem lately, and its awesome. I've gained a lot of respect for him recently, first I heard symphony 25 which was sweet, then no 40 which was even better, then i got the Requiem which is amazing. Does he have any other songs that rock out like the two symphonies, or epic and awesome like the requiem? Recommend me some, Mozart fans.

Mozart's last three symphonies, 39, 40 and 41 are all brilliant so if you liked 40 check out those other two. Other music by Mozart that I really enjoy are his piano sonatas so have a listen to some of them aswell.

I played 41 on timpani two years ago. Definitely one of Mozart's better symphonies (and that means a lot).

Right now I play Beethoven's 7th symphonie, and I must say I really like the 2nd part. Very sombre. After that one I'm gonna have to play the 3rd (a.k.a. Eroica) which is his hardest on timpani (I thought).

Timpani's awsome. I love watching them being played- it's the coolest classical instrument. (Besides upright bass, of course).

i strongly agree with this post

classical cds are normally less than half the price of other cds anyway



hi everyone im ben classical music is my life (well not the classical period, i find it extremely boring at this point in my life)

i study classical guitar at conservatory level and am just finishing my first year

i have a lot of favourite composers

scarlatti, weiss, bach, debussy, ravel, chopin, albeniz , granados, schoenberg, wagner, berg, walton, berkeley, sculthorpe

my favourites are Debussy and Leo Brouwer who some of you may not have heard of hes a contemporary composer who writes mainly for guitar

speaking of requiems...anyone heard Gabriel Faure (sp?)'s requiem....im liking it.
especially the "Agnus Dei" part.

Hey Ben, and hey everyone else :wave:.

My name's Gavin and I am a classical pianist.

I've always loved piano (inaugurally it was blues piano, then jazz piano) solo music, but just recently I have gotten into the classical composers. In doing so, I have also developped a love towards all classical music.

I love the more sombre, "evil" sounding ones (with diminished tonality, etc) and they're my favourite to play.

What can I say? I just love music. I could rant and rave about how much I love it and why, but I'm sure I'd just creep you all out.

Some of my favourite pianists include:

Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, Vladimir Horowitz, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Gershwin, Prokofiev, Scriabin, Schubert and more modern composers like Richard Clayderman.

gavon wot is ur favourite piano muzak

mine is the debussy preludes book 1 and 2

i love it all so much it takes me to another world

I've got a few favourites at the moment, but if I had to pick one it would definitely be Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2 In C# Minor". Others include:

-Chopin's "Fantasie Impromptu"
-Chopin's Etudes Op 10/No 12 (Cm) and Op 25/No 12 (Cm)
-Beethoven's "Adagio Sostenuto (aka Moonlight Sonata)"
-Chopin's "Nocturne In G Minor Op 37/No 1"

All and any of these I will be more than willing to send to you through Yahoo if you're interested.
