Thread: New Member Clovis, Hello Everyone!

I was a memeber of this site several years ago. I live in Texas. I'm in my early thirties. I've been a fan of classical since my teens.

My favorite period is the turn of the century Vienna, in particular Mahler. Also very interested in the counterpunctal works of The Renaissance and the polyphony of J. S. Bach.

Also love Jazz and Folk music.

I look forward to meeting friends and learning a thing or two.

Welcome back! I'm sure there are many new faces here, but we all still love the same thing.

How about the contrapuntal works of New Complexity and the polyphony of György Ligeti?

Hi and welcome back. Hope you find lots of friends here.

You're a Texan in your thirties, it's probably too late for you to learn anything.

[This is a test.]



On a slightly more serious note, welcome back to TC, @Clovis. The terrain has changed some here recently (more whippersnappers), but probably just as many opinionated, wiseass Yankees.

Haven't heard much Ligeti outside The Shining.

I'm only familiar enough with Schnittke and Glass. I own and enjoy Stockhausen's Michaels Reise for solo trumpet.

Thanks to all those who have welcomed me.

Welcome back!! I love Mahler's music as well

Hello clovis and welcome (back) to the forum.

Ignore COAG - you should really get into opera.

I hope you like chamber music!

Welcome Clovis!

I am new to this forum and it looks a good place to share and learn.

Thanks all!

I do like opera, own dvds of Wozzeck and LuLu by Kultur classics, both biggy performances on dvd format.

Love Mozart's operas also.

I like chamber music, don't listen to enough of it though.

I love the Dvorak string quintet from the United States years, the eerie sounding one.

Schubert's Death and the Maiden of course

Schnittke 3rd and 4th string quartets performed by Kronos

Mozart's late clarinet quintet

Mahler's piano quartet

Ravel's string quartet

Welcome! Do you like piano music?

Yes.

My favourite one is Idomeneo. Which one is yours?

The Mozart opera I listen to most now is Die Zauberflote, a couple years ago it would've probably been Le nozze di Figaro.



I like piano music also, one of my favorites is Liszt - La lugubre gondola

Also enjoy the Bach's keyboard works like WTF bkI - bkII and Goldberg Variations.
