You know music... But you dont, you just think you do. Listen to Mozart's requiem, then you will know. It sometimes takes sacrifice to realize that you're listening to genius.

But what about the genius who almost single handedly ushered in the era we call "Classical" today? Rudolfo Luigi Bocchirini (sp?). Since *I* am so fond of strings, I find his works much more enjoyable. If you'd like some quick examples, then just have a go at "Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World" Excellent movie too!

Getting old? "Chimp throws bone in the ear" aannnd cut "spaceship moves towards airlock" - music score is? Yes you are right "An der schönen blauen Donau" or Blue Danube as you foreigners prefer to call this beautifull wallz written by Johan Straus The initial was Also Sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) by Richard Straus (not related to J Straus btw) This score is very impressive in a large cinema with decent soundequipment not reproduceable on an ordinary TVset - Peter Peter [AGHL] proclaimed.... > Getting old? > "Chimp throws bone in the ear" aannnd cut [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > This score is very impressive in a large cinema with decent soundequipment > not reproduceable on an ordinary TVset Are you sure, maybe it's this one I'm thinking of?

"Blue Danube" is the one that plays as the shuttle comes in to dock with the space station - copied on the best game ever - Elite. The pounding drums are indeed on Also Sprach Zarathustra, I didn't think it was the opening sequence, though.

I did that with another piece of music, can't remember what it was but I had to laugh at how inappropriate it was.

My wife couldn't believe it when she heard "Jilted John" come on as I jacked a car in Grand Theft Auto. > I like Bach but for baroque I preferred Johann Pachebel (if you haven't > heard his fugues you'll definitely have heard Canon in D major) I don't agree! There is some excellent Bach, but when it comes to Baroque - I find it very hard to beat Vivaldi. Take a listen to Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 violins in D, it's a wonderful, intricate, complicated piece of music that fits together perfectly...

Soz, disagree as much as you like, you're still wrong. I really do like Vivaldi too and the four seasons is excellent (especially winter) but it *really* pisses me off that it's over used in adverts.

I agree with you there actually - Winter is my favourite of the 4 seasons too - very underrated....

Whoops - lol! Just proved my own argument wrong there - the Concerto for 2 Violins in D is Bach :( The Concerto of Vivaldis I had in mind was actually Op.3 No.8 - which is also a really great piece of music. The version I have of it is live too - so while not absolutely note perfect it hasn't lost any expression in the recording... Civilian_Target > ...but when it comes to > Baroque - I find it very hard to beat Vivaldi... The "Winter" part of "Four Seasons" has got to be the best ever - as long as it's not the version that Nigel Kennedy completely f*ck*d up.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I like Bach but for baroque I preferred Johann Pachebel (if you haven't > heard his fugues you'll definitely have heard Canon in D major) Oh yeah, a string quartet played that during our wedding. They would not have been hired if they could not have played it. I have a classical guitar version around here somewhere that makes it quite easy to play but still keeps the piece intact. I have played his fugetta. Took me a long time to learn it. One piece that I never could play from memory. Can only play it while reading the score. I am an intermediate piano player (at best) Bachs 1st invention (c major) is commited to memoy as I have played it hundreds of times. I am working on his a-minor invention and his c major fugue. Both are wonderful but challenging. Bach's cello suites are an amazing work as well. McG mentioned Bocharini. That's a name I've never run across. I'll have to see if I can find anything by him. Bach, Hyden (sp?), Scarlatti and Telemman are my personnal favorites to play on the piano. Guess we all have our favorites. >>> You know music... >>> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >>> I pray that some of you listen. >>> Stri, >>> Try playing any one of Bach's inventions on the piano... [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Guess we all have our favorites. Hayden was a contemporary of Rudolfo Luigi Boccherini. Luigi wrote a LOT of music for strings. Trios, quartets and quintets for the violin, viola and cello abound. He wrote commissioned pieces for guitar also, which until this time wasn't considered a 'classical' instrument. He was a virtuoso cellist himself from a young age. Yes, we do all have our favorites. W. A. Mozart was a true musical genius, but he is known more for full orchestral work. I'm into strings...

That explains why he is not any any of my piano music books! I'll have to look out for a CD of his music next time I am in the city. Cheers! Squat >>>>> Stri, >>>>> Try playing any one of Bach's inventions on the piano... [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > Cheers! > Squat Luigi had been commissioned by an ambassador to write a set (opus?) to commemorate Napoleons conquest of Spain, 'presented' to Napoleon during his review of his armada at the Grand Canal palace in Venice. It was from these pieces evidently that the music in "Master and Commander" came from. One of my all time faves is (loosely translated) "Night Dancing in the Streets of Madrid" There are movements in the opus I don't care for, but some of them are brilliant :) And, they're for strings...with bows. Interesting that the captain and ships doctor (British officers both) would be playing these pieces. Britain was fighting Napoleon (France) and I guess Spain and Portugal too during this period. Crow and Bethany actually learned to play their three pieces for the film. Fine work of them both, if that's them really playing :) So the soundtrack of Master and Commander will have some of Luigis work on it too. Humorous imagining so many of us bloodthirsty crowbar mongers enjoying Classical music so much! *especially* our resident old fart...CF...whom I imagined being into Lawrence Welk and Swing big bands.
