I need to compile a list of important dates in classical music history (birthday or death of a composer, the showcase of performance for the first time, etc...). Does anyone know a source where I can download a whole list of these dates? Or one calendar I can see all the dates on? I know these...

You don't know who own the vynil in the first place, you let your imagination run wild look, I have an Orlandus de Lassus\Josquin Desprez Lp of 1950 concert Hall society, and there is a marker stain on the sleeve in front in the upper era. So I let my imagination run wild and imagine a thing...

I'm looking for a title of (song?/track?) in the background of this film.

I want to open up an interesting topic for discussion. That is the why of music. I believe that today the role of music is very different than just 50 years ago. Mainly resulting from globalization and the internet, I see that music has become a medium of gaining cultural identity in the face...

Hey guys! I would like to share with you one of my pieces which was premiered in December 2016 at the Bratislava Conservatory. The piece combines a variation and rondo principle and it's based on a famous song by Queen "The Show Must Go On". The individual variations present the development of...

I need to define a more specific theme for my work (the main theme is "music and politics"). I thought about focusing on Verdi's work.. I don't know yet.. any ideas ? It could be, like, a short period in time that is politically interesting, a specific historical event that has brought new...

This is an interesting topic. I'm talking mainly about the years from 1964 to 1966, where names like the Beach Boys, Baroque Pop bands, and even continental pop that was barely rock and roll play some part. A lot of people here have the musical chops to really analyze what's going on in these...

Most of them said that he was an impressionist. What i heard from my professor is, Debussy did not 'labelled' himself as an impressionist or whatever but some of Desbussy 's music was influenced by the symbolism. It sounds right to me because one of his work le sons et les parfums is related to...

Hello, Are there any good resources online for learning classical music history? I get physical books whenever I can but don't know of anywhere on the internet to go (except Wikipedia). Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. Thanks

I posted this question as reply in a thread but I'd like to open it to the general audience here. Would you consider Haydn as one of the most underrated composers in history? I sometimes look at these comparison articles about greatest composers like the NY Times had one a while back about the...

Can anyone identify the piece playing at about 1:46 while "Josquin des Prez" is being written on this fun "History of Western Music" video? I would be most grateful -- I learned the piece years ago during college and I can't remember its name, which is really bugging me! Thanks!

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to post, so please could a mod move it if not? Thanks. I'm about - I hope - to have some time on my hands for the first time for a few years and I'd like to make a study of the history of music. I don't have huge amount of theory ( grade 5 piano is...

To a musicologist, it's no mystery that the first "Tristan" chords appeared long before the premiere of Wagner's opera in 1865. Versions of this chord have appeared in works as varied as Beethoven's 18th piano sonata, Mozart's Requiem, and even a song by Franz Liszt. What is certain, however...

Has anyone else read this book? It's interesting, if a little too technical for me. There are a few short chapters on tenors of the early years of recording, of which the Tamagno chapter is the most interesting. Most of the book focuses on mid twentieth century tenors, with Corelli's radio...

I keep hearing and seeing the use of "A / The Modernist Agenda" and talk about those who are its proponents and practitioners having some particular ideology, i.e. The Modernists. That sometimes seems quite wrapped up in history, sociopolitical history, or revisionist history (take your pick)...

Composed by Erwin Schulhoff, who was both jewish and communist and died in the concentration camp of Wülzburg, the history behind this composition is quite interesting.
