He's one of my favourite modern day composers. His compositions are heavily influenced by jazz. And one thing. Is this thread actually going to be about Classical music, or is this just going to be a dump thread for composers, regardless of whether they are classical or not? Because Piazolla's "Libertango" is most definitely not classical. | ||

Do you guys see professional musicians making terrible mistakes? I haven't been to any live performances, but am curious if it happens often. Video below related + Show Spoiler + | ||

As a pianist, and as cliche as it is because EVERYONE plays Beethoven, I find Beethoven the most fun to play. If I'm bored I can simply open up one of the Beethoven sonata books (he wrote 32, and the 32 sonatas are usually put into two books) and just play the sonata movement that I happen to stumble on first. However, I have a huge amount of love for concertos, which are 3 movement pieces where an orchestra is accompanied by a solo instrument (or two, such as piano/cello). My favourite concerto is probably Beethoven's 4th concerto, especially the third movement. My preference is Murray Perahia's version of it, because I think he is absolutely REMARKABLE in the touch he gives the piano, he just always has the right tone in what he plays, however, Alfred Brendel is another beast on the piano, as he is self taught too, and is very technical when it comes to his interpretations of the pieces. ^_^ hope you guys enjoy | ||

Power, by John Stevens Tuba Quartet This piece I've actually recorded the top three parts, and will be playing to a tape for the recital. It'll be really cool. Tuba Concerto, by Edward Gregson This is one of the standards in the tuba rep. Every tuba player knows it. Intrada, by Otto Ketting For solo trumpet This is a piece I ran across in high school, and really like it. Its quite mysterious yet cool. Flute Fantasia in A Major, by Georg Philipp Telemann For solo flute I like the Telemann flute fantasies, so I decided to play one. I'll be playing it a little slower than the woman in the video, though.. Horn Concerto No. 1, by Richard Strauss A really cool piece. Not the best performance, but it certainly displays Strauss's early style. Fnugg, by Oystein Baadsvik The video is of the composer explaining the piece as well as performing it. Going to be an awesome way to finish. And that's it! I'm super excited, and super nervous all at once. | ||

 Other than him, I like various stuff by Liszt, Mozart and Tchaikovsky. EDIT: OH, and I absolutely love hybrid classic (or whatever to call it). Nightwish/Sonata Arctica (opera+metal), Bond/Vanessa Mae (violins+epic music) and such. Bond - Fuego | ||

I'm a big fan of Debussy and Satie from the French Impressionists. Satie is the reason I started teaching myself piano last summer. I used to play violin when I was a child (like all Asians lol), and piano (once again). I played trumpet for a short while from middle school to early high school when I realized I didn't really like the instrument much and shortly after I picked up guitar. Now I'm trying to learn piano again, but university eats up a lot of time. | ||

Classical is my favourite by far. Beethoven, Bach and Rachmaninov are my favourites ^^, I have inspiring posters of them on my wall. The pieces I love most are Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and Beethoven's 9th symphony. I have always, however, loved choral music the most. Tallis, Purcell, Handel, Taverner, Vivaldi, Moteverdi, Buxtehude etc. So here are some gems I am listening to atm: Henry Purcell "Hear My Prayer": + Show Spoiler + Rachmaninov "Ave Maria": + Show Spoiler + Handel "But Who May Abide" (from the Messiah) + Show Spoiler + | ||

Also a recording conseisseur, particularly piano (duh), but i'm pretty good at violin concerti and symphony recommendations. I have little if any tolerance for hybrid/crossover music. First two parts of violin documentary on famous violinists, notably missing Kogan but it's pretty good. Throw on terrible commentary from Hilary Hahn and crazy-old-man Gitlis who-speaks-in-multiple-tongues and you get the best violin documentary out there. + Show Spoiler + here's a bonus | ||
