"It is easy to stand in the crowd, but it takes courage to stand alone." Mahatma Gandhi. John Brown's soul continues marching on.

They all sounded different from one another

update us on the dogsup mr classical nerd

Holst's stepmother was a Theosophist. Was that an influence on Holst?

This is an impressively fine introduction. (I say this as a longtime Hindemith fan.)

I clicked pretty fast. I like his music. I've listened to I'm guessing perhaps 10% of his ourvre. Maybe more. The third and fourth piano concertos are particular favorites.

Everything you told is very similar to matrices and their linear transformations

Wow!

👏

What university presses has biographies and just books that are essential scholarly reads in your view?

I've no idea how I found myself here, watching an hour long film about a foreign song, but here I am. Excellent work!

Great video. I wrote the Wikipedia page of Revueltas many years ago. I don't know if they left what I wrote. I think the Musical world has not yet discovered him at all. I wish to hear Esquinas or Geometric dance by Berlin Philharmonic or something like that although Dudamel did some with Sensemayá. Greetings from Mexico.

I hesitate to add to the already daunting list of requests - but please consider Calliope Tsoupaki. I've just bought the Complete and Utter Pettersson, and have listened to the first and second Symphonies - I love them, and don't hear the music (so far at least) as depressing.

love the beard and stache, wish I hadn't learned about Debussy's sexual behavior mars the beauty of the music a bit

very interesting

Viola has beautiful sound. Violins are rather annoyed when during the orchestra, people would draw to the calming sound from viola in the parts where viola parts surfaced. Viola steals the attention from the audience because of its beautiful calming sound.

Ps. With all this, it is necessary to take into account the fact that ZAPPA WAS THE MOST INDEPENDENT = FREE-THINKING artist in the history of Mankind, who certainly had the greatest influence on the time and place in which he lived, during and after it ... like Buonarotti ... Leonardo ... Mozzart ... etc

THE GRATEST MUSICIAN SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Igor Stravinsky completed the development of "classical/serious/academic" music, and Frank Zappa is the FIRST and ONLY one to COMPETENTLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY set all musical content to music... WITH THIS; THAT HE IS THE ONLY MUSICIAN IN HISTORY WHO HAS NOT CREATED A SINGLE PATHETIC NOTE! He must have been convinced that Mahler had already used them all up... ha-ha-ha. THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!

Why can’t we simplify and just say each half step is 100 cents? Then cents can’t be broke down into fractions from there for example 174 hz is f3 - 6c

Excellent video!! I have loved Satie for years and a French teacher introduced me to his piano music. At night for relaxation I play his 4th Gnossienne. An eccentric man for sure. I didn’t realize that he apparently walked a lobster through the streets of Paris….wow, if true.

biblical

😂 great ending

Thank you for the great video! I fell in love with the composer. I wish I had been able to take lectures like this when I was in university. I did not major music… but I compose music as hobby, and this kind of videos really enlighten me A LOT. I would love to learn more, so could anybody recommend some books related to history of music and composing? Especially I would love to know more about modern and contemporary musics…

She was my composition teacher in Winnipeg back in the 70's very unique soul.

Interesting as usual though perhaps spoilt by a bit too much humour in this video

It's absolutely hilarious to suggest that the friction between this guy and Columbia was due to his youth and "brilliance". He was denied tenure because he was a miserable man who wrote miserable music that no one truly cares about. I had my suspicions about this composer before watching this video. Now I know for sure that he was just another one of those hacks propped up by the institution of pseudo-intellectual-avant gardists desperate to fortify their nothingness.

A very good and informative documentary about Barber and his music. Just a pity that the voices of Price and Steber were not used. I'm assuming that there are good reasons for this. Nevertheless, a very interesting video. Grateful thanks!

I knew I liked a “thing” now I know it’s name..👍 Excuse me while I hit the Fixed Filter Bank…😃👍

Thanks so much for this!

Lobster = Nerval

My favourite composer for non-piano music, and in my top 3 overall!

how being proud of his heritage make him racists.

I love that you use that same Babbitt quote for every lower third of him, it's a hilarious quote

Great video, watched to the end and it makes me appreciate the song even more now

You are the best! Love your videos! So interesting and informative! I thought I knew everything there was to know about Barber....turns out I knew nothing!Thank you!

LAME.

Saying it's impossible to have a keyboard perfectly in tune is privileging a mathematical abstraction over actual musical practice. There are many tuning systems across the world, and a keyboard tuned to 12-tone equal temperament is in tune according to that system. This ideal of "purity" is a flawed goal, IMO. Distilled water is nice and pure, but bland... it's the impurities which give mineral waters (or tea, coffee, beer, ...) their flavours.

I was fortunate enough to meet Copland after a concert in 1971. Still have the program he signed.

The more I learn about music, the more fascinating your channel becomes

Could you do a video on the Welsh composer William Mathias?

1. Mushrooms are quiet. Composers hate noise. 2. Cage said mushrooms help you concentrate: if you focus on mushrooms, you will learn their mystery.

The idea that John Brown started off as a radical and then became essentially a saint when Union troops saw with their own eyes the horrific sin of slavery is very poetic. Sometimes, a brave soul must stand up against great injustice.

After reading a biography of Charles Ives, I came away with the impression that he was a particularly closed-minded musician. By that I mean, everything he liked and found interesting was morally good, and music that he didn't find interesting was somehow decadent and rotten to the core. His music creates the impression that he was an open-minded artist merely because it sounds so unlike what everyone else was doing.

Ok, this video is fantastic. Great job.

Sir thankyou for this video i want to learn composition ...iam from India ..is it possible you teach me sir 🙏 I really want to learn

Thank you, one small correction about his time in Turkey. Hindemith was a visiting academic member of the state conservatory in Ankara. Further he was state counselor of the Turkish government for the administration of the state conservatory and the state opera & balet. All my best wishes

amazing, thanks a lot!

While a student at USC School of Music in the 70s, I was fortunate enough to attend the West Coast premiere of "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima.'" Penderecki gave an hour talk before the concert. The conductor was Zubin Mehta. It was a life changing experience.

What math and other concepts would i need to understand before learning about tuning systems?
