Late Romantic Period Composers
Misereatur:
Yes, but Lizst is well known for his faster "Show us yer technique" pieces and Chopin is know for his quiter works although they have both expiramented in all kinds of works for piano. They were both friends, btw.
Nemba:
--- Quote from: 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.

The other reason for playing the BIG FAST LOUD pieces is that, for me at least, playing at top speed for the most part of nine minutes straight is guaranteed to clear up any kind of minor depression. Very useful therapy.

What's that?
--- Quote from: Misereatur ---Some Mozart (I actually never really liked him)

Listen to his clarinet concerto. Last piece he ever wrote. It's amazing. Also, the Jupiter Symphony (41) is amazing. Aside from those, it's hard to get into Mozart without studying him and listening carefully. Yes, his stuff is simple, but it's so subtle and elegant that makes it incredible.

Mezzo is a french music channle, but not MTV crap music. Everything from Jazz to Modern music and Opera. I really love that channle. Anyway, they allways have these sequences, one for Jazz and one for Classical music. Both sequences show video clips from concerts and live shows. I remmember that I saw The Summer Stom from The Four Seasons preformed by the israeli filharmonic orchastra, very cool indeed (I have a recording of that concert).

I learned about him and got a 100 on a listening test of his works. But it never grabbed me like Beethoven's 8'th and 14'th sonates for piano for example.
