This week's composer: Franz Schubert (1797-1828)

Two of my current favorite pieces:

Time to find some more, I guess!

A Schubertiade = a celebration of Schubert's music

Symphony No. 8 in B minor (Unfinished). Unfinished (it only has two movements vs. the usual four) for unclear reasons, as he began it six years before his death at age 31

Okay now I feel dumb for just listening to those two Batsashvili pieces at the beginning over and over again because he's fucking great

I'm glad I didn't get him first because I am going to want a whole week for this and even though I did really enjoy the Wanda Landowska album I listened to for Scarlatti, I do not miss the harpsichord lol

Nickname: Schwammerl (Little Mushroom)

Some angsty quotes:

“No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine that they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by”

"My compositions spring from my sorrows. Those that give the world the greatest delight were born of my deepest griefs"

There was a composer named Schubart who died six years before Schubert was born. Schubert eventually set one of his poems, "Die Forelle," to music

Also to save myself some future embarrassment because I keep wanting to say Schubert like it's French: It's shoe-burt

Y’all ever want to hear the dark side of this blog? It’s the fact that despite posting about classical music here, I was, *whispers* , a raging Kpop fan

Rules: put your music on shuffle and list the first 10 songs that come up and tag 10 people

thank you for the tag @nihilisticcondensedmilk been a while

Galileo - Indigo Girls

You're the Top - Cole Porter

Istanbul - Paris Combo

I Will Survive - Cake (fuck I totally forgot about them)

Poison - GOT7

Sorry - The Rose

Deja Vu - Ateez

Fiction - BEAST

Liszt Piano Concerto No. 2 - Berlin Philharmonic

I'm Going to Hell for This One - NOFX

I don't tag (always break the chain) but you should play if you want and tag me so I know what you're listening too.

I put ALL my music on shuffle so this was a crazy ride. I legit have mp2s hanging around that I ripped from hard CDs back in the day. I'm not claiming I still listen to this stuff, but I'm a bit of a digital hoarder.

I don't really follow bands so some of these may be dubious, or cancelled, or whatnot now.

Music Review: Bruckner's 9th Symphony performed by the Berlin Philharmonic

Bruckner's 9th, like many classical compositions is done absloutley wonderfully by the Berlin Philharmonic. The first track is a wonderful, dramatic piece, and it's not necesarily bland, but it becomes repetitive after about 15 minutes, despite having multiple key changes, but still mostly being mostly driven by booming strings and lower brass sections. The second track is much more dynamic and jaunty, but it's still very dramatic. There are many more complex rythyms and has a 6/8 feel. Unfortunatley, the second track is also much shorter. The third track is very similar to the first, but more calm, being slower and more lyrical. Oboes and Violins are also more prevalent, and is even the driving force at times. It closes out the symphony calmly. Overall, it's a relatively compelling symphony done well as usual by the Berlin Philharmonic, as the Berlin Philharmonic does.

As of listening to this record, My top 10 list of records is as follows

I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU - JPEGMAFIA

Spirit Phone - Lemon Demon

good kid, m.A.A.d city - Kendrick Lamar

Why Can't We Be Friends - WAR

DAMN. - Kendrick Lamar

Discovery - Daft Punk

TOTO - Toto

Random Access Memories - Daft Punk

Because The Internet - Childish Gambino

Stankonia - OutKast

I've ranked Bruckner's 9th below Stankonia because Bruckner's 9th does not convey as diverse a set of emotions, and the genre is less compelling.

Feel free to recommend music or challenge my top 10.
