Hello. I didn't find a thread that covered design related to Classical Music. I want to explore here how designers and labels (musical or editorial) have worked portraying classical music to the public, in form of posters, magazine covers, insides, books, illustration... I mainly want to know...

Not sure if this should be posted in the Theory forum or not, but I figured more might see it here. Anyways, I was just curious if anyone has read either one of these, and what their take on it was. (Not it's Rimsky-Korsakov's "Practical Manual of Harmony," not "Principles of Orchestration")...

Awesome book! "Audacious Euphony" by Richard Cohn presents an alternative syntax for analyzing chromatic harmony. It has been especially illuminating for me regarding the middle to late romantics. It is on a post graduate music theory level. I wish this book had been written 40 years ago...

I've nearly finished the tremendous and very amusing account of the Guarnieri Quartet by its first violinist, Arnold Steinhardt. It is called Indivisible by Four. (They retired in 2009 after a 45-year career together.) Steinhardt refers at one point to the nine composing giants of the string...

So, I am not sure if I am resurrecting an old thread. I bring this up because books have always been a huge part of my life, and have a lot to do with who I am as a person. So, my question is, as you have probably gathered from my thread title what is your favorite book. I don't know if I am...

Hello, everyone. My apologies for the long post. This forum's description has the tag "get help," so I hope I'm not breaking any rules. I'm looking for a teacher. Where I live, the music schools and music theory teachers are a joke. If ever I ask to be taught the rules (guidelines?) of things...

Please sum your life up in a book title.

So I've been doing all these polls, and although there have been a few results that surprised me, I've figured that those surprises have been due to incorrect assumptions on my part. Of course (a) the poll system has plenty of flaws, and (b) they're just snapshots of opinions rather than precise...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and just looking for some information regarding a book containing what i think are phonograph records we found in the loft of an old house. They contain works by Mozart and there are i think about 7 or 8 records in this book, thicker than vinyl records, all...

I am not sure this will interest anyone here but I tried another web site that talks a lot of music and got no response. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Is there anyone here who collects old music publications? I have a song book that is just five years short of being 100 years old...

A veteran performer and he was once the oldest performing tenor in the Guinness book of records. You got to :tiphat: for the man.

Today is World Book Day, so, what is your favourite piece of music that was inspired by a book? Somewhat obviously, mine is les Troyens by Berlioz - inspired by Virgil's Aeneid I could have nominated the same composer's Benvenuto Cellini or La Damnation de Faust what about you?

It took me a long time before enjoying it, but i think it's an œuvre majeure, a surrealist ufo among classical. I have the Robert Craft version but is there a better version out there?Would like to point out le pierrot lunaire is pitch black in term of darkness, but infuse whit ''comedie...
