LITTLE SMOOTH ANIME BALLS!

55. Mozart
Tedious pop music. Shit.

If you want exciting, listen to Seixas. If you want deep, listen to Bach. If you want insipid, hollow "pretty" music, listen to Mozart.

Listening to too much Bach at once results in brain and attention fatigue, so you start missing all the depth.

Listening to too much Mozart at once results in absolute BOREDOM. Listen to it long enough, and it becomes apparent that you're listening to something with no real emotion, no soul, no point. Its just "pretty".

Bach is intellectual rigour applied to elevating the human condition. It is the attempt of mankind to transcend his beastly nature expressed as music. You can't listen to this music and not be moved by the plight of humanity expressed in musical form.

>>9
What's the best of Bach? I'm not really into classical music, but want to give it a start.

>>9
What is the point in comparing Bach and Mozart? Both composers lived in different periods of time with different views on how music should be written. It's like comparing some rock star from the 80s to a jazz musician in the 40s, but with a larger gap of time. And to say that Mozart only wrote ``pretty'' music with no soul or emotion? Bullshit. Such things are subjective, but you're still wrong. His music is full of emotional contrast and a mastery of counterpoint, harmony, form, and technique. You might not like what Mozart has to say in his music, but that doesn't mean what he says is worthless dribble.

>>10
Brandenburg Concerti and the Orchestral Suites if you want orchestral music.
Cello Suites and Violin Sonatas & Partitas (of which his Chaconne in D Minor is particularly exceptional) if you want solo music.
Well Tempered Clavier and Art of Fugue if you want keyboard music.
Ein feste Burg, Wauchet auf, and Mass in B Minor if you want choral music.

This list excludes way too many pieces. Just delve into his catalogue. It's quite large, and there is no piece not worth listening to.

Nobody ever wrote a book about Godel, Escher, and Mozart, and if they did, no one would read it, because Mozart is a bland little sellout.

Whatever you say, >>12-person.

>>10

1) The Art of the Fugue - really let this one burn into your brain.
2) A Musical Offering - Very intricate set of universes here. Do NOT listen to all of this in one sitting. That is way too much to process. Listen to 2 pieces at most at a time. Let your mind process the glory it has just witnessed. When you get to Ricercar a 6, this is a SIX VOICE FUGUE with 3 subjects. Listen to this, and nothing else. Wait half an hour, and listen to it again. When you really listen, this music will move you. You will witness the tragedy of a species that struggles against the mocking glare of its natural circumstances to touch the divine.

3) Goldberg Variations - much mellower, you can listen to several or just a few at a time, but still, not too many or their meaning will pass you by.

4) Harpsichord Concertos - This is easy listening techno Bach - fun to listen to, but still rewards repeated listenings. This music will excite you.

5) Magnificat - Latin, falsetto, a choir singing fugues, a choir convincing you you are part of something beautiful

6) The Allegro movement of Brandenburg Concerto 3. I like this one.

7) Well Tempered Klavier, books 1 and 2. Specifically:
From book 1:
- Prelude and Fugue in C minor
- Fugue in E major
- Fugue in A minor
Book 2:
- Fugue in F minor
- Fugue in G minor
- Fugue in A minor (a nice long one)

8) French and English suites

>>10,14
Sorry, I think I have the Ricercar a 6 confused with the unfinished 4 voice/3 subject fugue from The Art of the Fugue (Contrapunctus 14). They are both absolutely magnificent. The Ricercar a 6 is a 6 part fugue based on the single "Thema Regium" theme that all the rest of the pieces in "A Musical Offering" are based on. Its the "Unfinished Fugue" from "The Art of the Fugue" that is based on 3 subjects.

Mozart was mad into poo jokes though, >>12-san.

>>14

Do NOT listen to all of this in one sitting. That is way too much to process.

Stop being pretentious. All of those pieces are incredible, but reading your descriptions made me cringe.

Also, if we're approaching Bach from a "look at all that counterpoint" perspective, the sixth Brandenburg concerto stands out the most out of that collection.

In case I wasn't clear when I said "that collection", I'm referring to the six Brandenburg concertoes, not the list of Bach compositions that >>14 posted.

>>17
I guess I can only speak for myself. Sorry that my descriptions made you cringe. Its hard to convey how much I love those pieces.

Human history is a banal, tedious story of blood-soaked misery, greed and garbage. The tiny proportion of humans who devote themselves to being genuine, to give the people around them a genuine thing are typically ruthlessly destroyed in their time and forgotten. When I read history, it seems to me our main talent as a species is for maximizing misery and destroying the ones who show us the light. Due to historical accident or luck, Bach is one of those that wasn't destroyed and forgotten. The music of Bach is one of a bare handful of things humans have done that argue the case for humanity. His music is genuine, sincere and beautiful and it has endured despite being produced amidst a species of murdering, greedy idiots. As luck would have it, it has endured and is now a part of western culture.

The present day is the same shit that has always been, the only difference now is that our thuggish species has new tools it can use to express its thuggish brutal nature. Tools and technologies that were invented by many a forgotten "loser".

I am not smart, my ability to concentrate and think is limited, so my brain needs things in small pieces. That's why I say I need to listen to one, maybe two pieces at a time at the most. Any more, and I can no longer appreciate it. I need to read and write small programs, listen to single pieces of music. If I have to sit through a long recital or work with ENTERPRISE legacy apps written by /b/rogrammers with a dozen COM objects, no documentation, undiagnosable race conditions and literally megabytes of boilerplate sepples write-only "code", my brain shuts down and I become catatonic. When I improvise, I can only improvise short pieces.
