The Classical Music Recommendation Thread

Also, thanks to rostasi for the informative PM, all great recommendations.

Varèse is great. Density 21.5 is one of my favourite flute compositions.

According to your Flute Meanderings thread, I introduced you to that. Did you get the sheet music or something? And do you know why it's called "Density 21.5"?

And if Frownland could swallow his moronic judgmental attitude towards me (what did I ever do to this putz?) and go check out my Concise History of Synthesation thread in the Electronica folder, he'd get a decent introduction to the avant-garde composers.

You know, I don't post this stuff for my health, folks, I post it for you. If you shut up your bitching and start reading, you COULD possibly learn something. I already know the s-hit.

I don't see where you're getting that. Is this in regard to the MB awards? I nominated you as I did because you're so damn condescending and it annoys the **** out of me. You can call not like people being douchebags moronic if you want, but I feel I'm justified. Plus I've already been reading that thread, so thanks I guess.

Thanks, and no, unfortunately I haven't obtained the sheet music for it yet. I've been working on other pieces.

Varese was commissioned to write a piece for the first performance of a platinum flute. The density of platinum is 21.5 grams/cc which is why he named it so.

Who's bitching? No need to be condescending.

Really?? Learn something new everyday.

I certainly might be condescending but I'm hardly alone.

I thought you knew that already, since I think you were going to tell me?

You also don't need to insult other members.

Why should I research when I can just get someone to tell me the answer?

No nonononono. I'm not buying this s-hit anymore. Now you can go to the Spill Your Guts thread and it is full of people insulting other people. Nothing is said about that. Don't tell me it's ok to do it on that thread only. Insulting is insulting--period. If it's not ok to do it here, it's not ok to do it anywhere. And you know it. I don't like this selective way of enforcing the rules. Either enforce them or don't. You even signaled that it would be ok to have hypothetical insult thread and that absolutely does not make any sense if insulting is not allowed. Insults are insults. Period. Either enforce the rules or don't. But don't enforce them on some people and not others.
