(Cheap shot...pardon the gist of my jest...) @flipwils Viv. and the Dvorak that followed it (for my following the link) are lovely examples of the music of their eras. I have a personal preference to hear such in the manner they were done originally...an intimate setting, live, unfettered by all that existed between the players and YT. ...and YT and my ears. The musicians themselves are interpreting well enough...one could critique, but that's not my intention, nor point.. What strikes me the parallel in the length of the selections...3 minutes, and 'X' seconds....the 'average' length of a current 'popular' song.... One could discuss the 'attention span' similarities....even the ones' invoked with the length of a symphonic concert and a modern 'rock concert' with all its' technical wizardry...which I suspect bugs people about yours truly.... I can go to a 'classical' presentation of an 'antique' form of music, and truly enjoy it. The sweep, the subtly of soft violins, the power of brass unleashed, the grandeur of it all in crescendo... Even in the 'cheap seats', above the 'regulars', if you're not moved, something inside is Dead. (But I do notice that the bar is open before and during Intermission....but that's another story to be told....;).....) Now...contrast that (and pardon the 'antique' reference....but, it is a bit long in the tooth. There may be a soothing element within that, but I'm not a 'shrink'...and y'all are not patients....).... ...with this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joWKEX03wd0&list=RDShB_HI6F1f4&index=7 ...and we can have a lively discussion....;) Play Loud, Jerry Bigger audience, bigger show....*S* |
...and, as for my posts....to consider disparagement in anything I wrote a misinterpretation of intent and my comments. I hear 'classical' motif and signature in almost anything I listen to. The basic elements of musical forms predates them. Humanity has employed 'music' likely for as long as some ancestor found beating 2 rocks or sticks in a rhythm (perhaps to one's heartbeat) as 'pleasant' in some fashion.... Maybe it became something like this...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7ZqZVunCb4 Not to your 'taste' perhaps...but later, maybe it brought down the walls of Jericho...(...or so is said...) Let's fast forward to something not so....'primitive'.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scG8lBDTZ3A Perhaps more recognizable? Good....the AON was one of the first to employ 'sample and hold'. Although much of that 'motif' can be argued about as to its' 'relevance' and 'artistry'....as employed by Others... Some is very good....and, of course, some is just derivative and 'trendy'.... Personally, I like Debussy...not every single thing he ever did, but more than I'm interested in sharing at the moment.... (Pardon me, but your bias is showing....zip up....;)....)

@schubert ...Hey, for a change of pace, you might try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mi145S-HfQ 432 hz is a tad different than 440, but is pleasant to my ears. *S* My Walshs' really seem to like pianos....and I'm a sucker for one played well. ;) Cheers, J |
