Hahaha! omg no I’m not hiding anything! I just don’t interact much with people or posts other than sometimes liking, so my blog is left empty:). I liked you and your writing, so I really had to comment and talk with you, you're very intriguing! :)

And I do in-fact write! Only for myself and family, I’m too shy to actually post. I mostly have just been doing poetry lately!

I’m glad we have the same thoughts about knowledge! I love pursing knowledge in almost everything I can, even if it’s just a little bit, I just want to be so knowledgeable that people immediately think of me whenever they have questions about anything! Like an encyclopedia! So far I’m succeeding :)

I didn’t know you knew classical pieces!! I love Swan lake by Tchaïkovski I also love his The nutcracker piece, another favourite of mine would probably be Dies Irae! Do you have any other classical piece that you like or even recommend? I’m trying to find more pieces to listen to! Ah! My apologies I rambled off again, I’m quite excited, I haven’t met/seen anyone with similar interests to me!

Intriguing, why?

I'd love to read you.

I took the time to gather some classical music that I really like. I have classified them in alphabetical order and starting with the name of the artist because they are often more telling than the title of the piece itself.

Classical music recommendations:

Bach Jean-Sébastien - Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Chopin Frédéric - Prelude op. 28 n24 in D minor ❤️

Chostakovitch Dmitri - Jazz Suite, Waltz No. 2 ❤️

Kalinnikov Vasily - Symphony No 1.

Lully Jean-Baptiste - Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs

Mussorgsky Modeste - Night on Bald Mountain

I also really like movie and video game soundtracks! I have a lot of tracks if you're interested. By the way, would you like to share some songs that you like? :)

Fun touhou music facts time!

The song "Septette for the dead princess" from the 6th game has multiple random references to classical music. The main melody is directly taken from the third movement of Beethoven's 8th sonata (note the Touhou version is not pitched to A=440hz).

This in itself is a fascinating little motif used here. But it isn't the only interesting reference in this piece. For those familiar with Ravel you might have already noticed, but the name of the piece is almost certainly a reference to "Pavane pour une infante défunte", "Pavane for a dead princess" in English.

I'm sure people have already commented on this in the past given the game is about 20 years old now but it's still fascinating to me that you can find these sorts of references in touhou music.

Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) is a work for solo piano by Maurice Ravel. It was written in 1899 while the French composer was studying at the Conservatoire de Paris under Gabriel Fauré. Ravel dedicated the Pavane to his patron, the Princesse de Polignac.

It was first published by Eugène Demets in 1900. In 1910 Ravel published an orchestral version with two flutes, an oboe, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, harp and strings.

i need classical music recs for a tragic love story

NOT putting this under a cut actually because i wish to curse everyone's dashes with these songs . they are all so good please listen to them if you like classical pretty please with like 3 cherries on top!!!!

anywaysOK!! a lot of these songs may seem like regurgitated Sad Classical Music that i use for everything but u have to trust me . when u listen to some of these in a Mood ur entire soul will be crushed i Promise u u have to trust me u have to believe m

i didnt know what Specific vibe u wanted so i kind of took my own creative liberties hope thats alright .. !!Also youre going to have to ignore how LONG classical names are

rachmaninoff - rhapsody on a theme by paganini, op. 43: var 18 (andante cantabile) --- this song plays moreso into the love story part of it but this piece is genuinely sooo beautiful (as are all of rachmaninoffs works lets be honest here).. it is SO romantic it kind of feels like being with someone you love and feeling fireworks and explosions upon realizing you love them, it's very very very lovesick and goes to show the giddy feeling of knowing someone is making you and your life better just by being near you <3

albinoni - adagio in g minor --- this specific arrangement in my playlist is my favoriteee ever.. it uses both harp and general orchestral strings to complete an overwhelmingly Emptying piece of music . this song is very like. "i'm lost without them" kind of thing.it's so melancholy but it also just emphasis any holes in a listener's heart; it's kind of boring if you listen to it while you're in a good mood? but Trust me if you're even remotely sad or yearning you will LOVE love love this piece

ravel - pavane pour une infante défunte, m. 19 (pavane for a dead princess) --- this one is another Especially Life Ruining If You're In The Mood piece; as the name suggests, it's a pavane (slow dance, essentially) which already gives it a lovely undertone, but it's for a Dead Princess and is full of grief and is notoriously played excruciatingly slowly. this song really feels like loss, whether it's post-argument or post-relationship or post-right-person-wrong-time, it emphasizes the feeling of being without someone in retrospect and how different emotions manifest themselves. some points in the song are lovely, full of reminiscing on memories of happiness, but the whole song has a freezing blanket thrown over it to remind everyone that it's for a Dead Princess and a Dead Connection

grieg - holberg suite, op. 40: iv. air (andante religioso) --- this piece is just generally soul crushing??? it feels like the air after particularly heartbreaking disputes, losses, rejections, all the like .......?? it generally carries an emptying vibe like the others do, but this one is laced with love through the middle, showing complexities in relationships and how love is inescapable, despite obstacles

cimarosa - sonata no. 42 in d minor --- this piece is short but sweet..... this is mostly a lovey song, but has a vague melancholy vibe if you really listen.. i always love to interpret this song as looking back on memories with a loved one and realizing just how much you miss them, how dull life is without them happy and right by your side . a quite simple piece but it illustrates the vibe perfectly :)

shostakovich - five pieces for two violins and piano: i. prelude --- about 30% of this reasoning behind this song is that it's shostakovich and i must have him inall of my playlists because he is my special guy. BUT this song is So many emotions . it is so heartbreaking initially, briefly grows into moderately upbeat happiness, then returns to a slower tempo soaked in both love and regret. it feels like the air after a loss, the air while missing someone to the point of it eating you alive; it's a gut wrenching rendition of . horrified love ? is the word that came to mind? it is so Sad

tchaikovsky - valse sentimentale, op. 51, no. 6 --- this song is just. emotional . it's full of love and you can hear the happiest parts of love fighting the worst, it's suffocating and captivating all the same??? i'm not 100% sure how i'd place this piece into a situation . maybe desperate pleas with oneself or another to be loved, to experience connection, something like that??? all that's to be sure is that this piece makes chests constrict it is so full of love and care and life but is simultaneously so full of despair and pain and ouuguhgh i just adore this piece really

poulenc - flute sonata, fp 164: ii. cantilena --- this piece is so sad it is so sad. it feels like the realization that you may be losing someone, whether it's to another or to nature or to life or really anything. halfway through, it evolves into more of a hopeful piece, with a flute sounding like a bird singing, but still falls down the steep downhill slope that Will make you So distraught if you listen to this while in the right mood

the entirety of prokofiev's romeo and juliet ballet --- this is mostly a joke but also. juliets death piece (it was WAY too long to put in here) is so heartbreaking so ..? stares at you with big classical loving eyes?

here's all of those wrapped up neatly with a little bow !! (tumblr refuses to let me link directly for some reason???) i hope they work for you!!!!

Nujabes - Aruarian Dance (super slowed + reverb)

"The Lamp Is Low" is a popular song from the 1930s. The music was written by composers Peter DeRose and Bert Shefter, adapted from “Pavane pour une infante défunte”, a composition by Maurice Ravel. The lyrics were written by Mitchell Parish.

Some samples of the Laurindo Almeida version were used by Nujabes to record Aruarian Dance in the 2004 Samurai Champloo Music Record: Departure album, one of the soundtrack albums from the anime Samurai Champloo.
