Oooooo you're soooo edgy. (not!)Carring around a conducter wand like you know how to conduct. Oooooooooo you can crescendo! Don't cadenza, you might scratch you're wand. Poser. Mozart is pop-classical at best and Beethoven is pure comercial garbage! If you want to be classical like me listen to Sir Edward William Elgar or George Frederic Handel. —Hashmeer Shashmeer |

Sunday, March 13, 2005 at 10:10 PM If my goal was to get a young testosterone-laden male hooked on classical music I would do it with Beethoven and Beethoven alone. He is all you need to get started. Focus on his nine symphonies. They're all awesome. Start by listening to the first movement of each and see what grabs your attentention. If you like the first movement then listen to the whole thing (each symphony generally has 4 movements. You can think of movements as corresponding to a part of the body... head (1st movement), heart(2nd), groin (3rd), feet(4th)). I personally got hooked on classical after hearing the first movements of Beethoven's Symphony #4 & #7. Today I enjoy them all with Symphony #6 & #9 being the most listened to. Each symphony generally has a sweet spot that is just awesome. You may hear it the first time through or it might take a couple of listenings over an extended period of time. Here's a sweet spot list: Symphony #9: 12 minutes into the final movement
Symphony #4: 2 minutes into the first movement
Symphony #7: first minutes of first movement
Symphony #8: first movement
Symphony #6: middle of first movement
Symphony #3: third movement
Symphony #1: forth movement The more you listen, the more you'll notice, the more you'll appreciate. Now get busy. —Gumbo |

Monday, March 14, 2005 at 1:42 AM I liked Beethoven way before anyone else did, and its so irritating to hear new people say they're into him when you can totally tell they don't 'get' him. """One of my favorite pieces is by a composer with whose other work I'm unfamiliar. That piece is Pachelbel's Canon.""" If you're a completely heterosexual male who still for some reason has some niggling desire to feel feminine just once in your life for a day...then that's a good piece to dress up pretty and have a tea party with dolls to. —lundy |

Monday, March 14, 2005 at 9:50 AM You know, that's something to think about. Jazz and classical couldn't be more different, so if you don't dig classical, jazz might be your thing. Give all of these sonatas a try, then give Coltrane a shot. And then come back to the Beatles. It all begins and ends with the Beatles. ;) —Santa's Mouth |

Monday, March 14, 2005 at 2:16 PM They played the Canon at my wedding. I don't listen to it anymore. There are so many different kinds of classical composers that everyone should be able to find their own niche. Mozart pop-classical, very funny. Don't be a player hater, motherfucker. Try not to be so jealous. I like Vivaldi and Chopin too. But Jazz is truly where my heart is, ever since I was a young teen. BeBop is the balls. Charlie Parker and Dissie Gillespie whaled. And Coltrane. Miles Davis was a little to out there for me

Monday, March 14, 2005 at 3:04 PM Jazz 101:
John Coltrane: Blue Trane
Miles Davis : Kind of Blue (Milestones works too)
Count Basie : Atomic Basie
Duke Ellington: 1950's on (the recording quality gets out of the way by then)
Louis Armstrong & the Hot 5: Just about anything of good recording quality Jazz 201:
John Coltrane: A Love Supreme
Miles Davis : Miles Smiles
Bill Evans: 1970's - his death Fun Stuff with Male Vocalists:
When Harry Met Sally soundtrack
Frank Sinatra and Count Basie Live at the Sands
Nat King Cole After Midnight Sessions That just kind of scratches the surface. Charlie Parker and Dizzie Gillespie are important too. Your class will talk about all of these people and more. Of everything above, the Miles Davis was my gateway and it's a good starting point. Classical is fine, but as a player I always liked jazz more. The musicianship is just as technical and demanding, but it's more about the player than the composer.

Tuesday, March 15, 2005 at 5:45 AM It is correct that Wagner died before the NAZIs came about. The NAZIs decided that his music was a good example of German nationalism because he used the German folklore in hes operas, and it was very exciting music. So Hitler made Wagner into a symbol of NAZIism. Wagner may have been an anti-semite, but he was nothign like a NAZI. Now go listen to is opera, "Tristan unt Isolde." That is some crazy shit! —lovethatline |

Tuesday, March 15, 2005 at 3:35 PM During my long night on the road, I remembered where my love of different types of music came from, watching Bugs Bunny after school when I was a kid. Classical, Jazz, Opera, it was all there. Go figure how I came to love Rock music. I agree with bguirk(tough name to write/remember) blue train by coltraine is one of my favs, but anything will do, even love supreme. I said Miles was a little out there for me, but that was his later stuff, Kind of blue kills me. As for singers, I am not partial to female(being divorced from a female singer)but Ella Fizgerald is awesome, Sarah Vaughn(Stevie Ray's aunt?), and lots of people like Billie Holiday. Like I said, not my thing, but I love Ella. Her voice is like liquid gold. Sinatra rules, but you have to get a good idea of where he came from and went to, get stuff from early and then through the years. He had so many different vocal eras. Talk about a changer. Nothing later than the 60's for him, though. My favorites are his early years, but they say men don't mature vocally until mid-age. Whatever. —oh-for |
