Late Romantic Period Composers
Mnementh:
Heh. Sorry about that. I was kind of in a pissy mood to begin with. I shouldn't have been such a dick.
Misereatur:
If you like Lizst as a piano composer, I'd like to metion Shopin and Schubert (although Schubert is from the begining of the romantic period, his "songs" for piano are exallent). I remember having fun studying them when my music class started to learn romantic music.
Shopin actually took piano music to the next level, developing alot of small songs. He's one of the first composers that took preludes and connected them together, like other composers did with miniatures for piano (see: Schuman's Carnaval, a good example of miniatures connected to an extended piece. Although, I rally did'nt like studying it).
Also, anybody else here has fun watching Mezzo's Clasic Sequence?
I really like like it. Alot of Beethoven, Some Mozart (I actually never really liked him) and I've seen Wagner and Brahms there too.
Even some modern music.
Inlander:
I've played a little Chopin and Schubert, but they didn't really grab me the way Liszt did.
Misereatur:
Well, they both did different things then Lizst. I just wanted to mentioned composers who did quiter and "softer" works for piano.
Inlander:
Liszt wrote plenty of quiet stuff, it's just that pianists as a general rule tend to ignore all his dynamics because the general consensus in the classical music world is "Liszt must be played fast and loud"; that, and the "Show us yer technique" mentality of the classical music world means that concert pianists tend to favour Liszt's big showcase pieces over his smaller, more reflective compositions.
