Not at my school, bitch. by Monty_Moosein funny

The one time Let the Bodies Hit the Floor would have fit on a youtube video...

The Prisoner. by JimKBin comics

[–]theturbolemming 10 points11 points ago

David Foster Wallace:

Think of the old cliché about "the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master".

This, like many clichés, so lame and unexciting on the surface, actually expresses a great and terrible truth. It is not the least bit coincidental that adults who commit suicide with firearms almost always shoot themselves in: the head. They shoot the terrible master. And the truth is that most of these suicides are actually dead long before they pull the trigger.

Very sad news: Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau has died. by a12345678910in classicalmusic

He will always be the greatest Wozzeck.

Spent an hour in a sensory deprivation tank/floatation tank/isolation tank and as a meditator... by zakik88in Meditation

[–]theturbolemming[M] 0 points1 point ago

I'm afraid not. But I've made it visible again and added my upvote.

Sounds fascinating! Is it tacky to ask about cost?

Rescued from spam filter, sorry for any inconvenience. Any surprises from inside the tank, or was it pretty much what you were expecting?

Unlistenable Music by mszegedyin classicalmusic

[–]theturbolemming 2 points3 points ago

Seeing this sorts of comments always makes me a little sad, because (and it's really important to note that I say this with a complete absence of condescension or anything like that) it's a shame you don't experience the absolute joy (visceral and intellectual) I get from the music of Shostakovich. Definitely including his piano concertos.

On the other hand (and this makes me more than a bit sad, truly) I don't get much out of listening to Mozart (though I'm learning to like Bach! Really!), and I really truly wish I did.

I moved in a flat share with two women.. this is what I found in the kitchen by Mo3in WTF

I smell a sitcom.

Just finished listening to Dvorak's 9 symphony again and it blew me away like always. Know any works that can compare to this at such a level of genius?? by catsmcgee13in classicalmusic

[–]theturbolemming -2 points-1 points ago

Gorecki's 3rd Symphony.

Which in your opinion is the best Office episode? by [deleted]in DunderMifflin

Activism Level: -99 by khduttonin AdviceAnimals

I had thought so too, but this was on the front page of Monday's New York Times.

Where can I find program notes for tone poems and the like? by OhGodImSoRonPaulin classicalmusic

[–]theturbolemming 2 points3 points ago

I don't think such a database exists. Your best bet might be, say, the NY Phil Digital Archives; try searching for a piece or composer and you'll have dozens of programs pop up, complete with notes. But they're not written by the composer in most cases.

At a metronome mark of dotted crotchet = 152, this is the ending from hell. by pitythechildin piano

[–]theturbolemming 1 point2 points ago

Actually, a lot of Kabalevsky's piano music is fairly well known. Unfortunately, his symphonic and chamber works didn't really fair so well, apart from that accursed Comedians' Gallop...

For those on this side of the Atlantic, that's dotted quarter.

I only know a little jazz. This is bad. Help! by BrendyBoizin Jazz

[–]theturbolemming 0 points1 point ago

Certainly :) My last played tracks...

  • The Ever Evolving Etude, by the Avishai Cohen Trio

  • If This Isn't Love, by Cannonball Adderley

  • Blackbird, by the Brad Mehldau Trio

  • Split Kick, by the Art Blakey Quintet

  • Porgy and Bess: Prayer, by Miles Davis

  • In A Mellotone, by Gerry Mulligan (with Ben Webster)

  • Heart and Soul, by George Shearing and Joe Williams

There's quite a variety in there, so don't expect to dig it all... but I pretty much adore everything there.

(1111—1110—tmp+1—pf—str 1.1.1.1.1.) by andrewisntcreativein musictheory

[–]theturbolemming 4 points5 points ago

I'm assuming it's 1 flute, 1 oboe, 1 clarinet, 1 bassoon - 1 tpt, 1 tbn, 1 hn, no tuba - timp and perc - 1 vln1, 1 vln2, 1 vla, 1vc, 1cb. It might mean that that's how many parts you have to write (ie, you're writing one violin 1 part for a section of first violins) but I'm not at all sure about that. Ask your prof.

Tokyo String Quartet to retire after 35 years of performing. by mafooin classicalmusic

[–]theturbolemming 1 point2 points ago

That's really a bummer, they're an outstanding group. I love their recording of Takemitsu's A Way A Lone.

Fat man meditation? by Cool_Hand_Keithin Meditation

[–]theturbolemming[M] 1 point2 points ago

It is being discussed :)

What I added to my jazz collection in April by filibin Jazz

I love the * Meets Mulligan series... He's got such a sweet tone.

There's always a theme.

Oh, man, reading the title without seeing the picture I figured he died.

Minimal music by Nohjoin piano

You turned pages.

Minimal music by Nohjoin piano

[–]theturbolemming 4 points5 points ago

I'll pull back out the only right to brag I've claimed in my life: I performed John Adams's piano duet Hallelujah Junction a few months back. Wonderful music.

Girlfriend and I found (and bought) this at an antique shop and thrift-mall by Dormousefulin WTF

I'd even say /r/shutupandtakemymoney.

I'm composing a cello concerto, and my teacher recommended I listen to this one for inspiration. Bloch - Schelomo by und3r_Scorein classicalmusic

[–]theturbolemming 1 point2 points ago

I gave up cello after eight years to focus on piano and jazz sax... and it's things like this that really make me miss it. Perhaps the most expressive instrument.
