Which of these things do you like? edit: should be "taking things into account"

I'm really good with the basics of music theory, but I want to learn more in depth things, searching on the internet about things like how to write better songs, comes up with only lyrics. I don't care about writing lyrics, I want to learn more about how chords and melody work together...

What do y'all think of Camus? Any favorite works? You think he was overrated? Compromised by colonialism? A great existential philosopher? (Greater than Sartre?) A great novelist? One thing's for sure: he looked just like me.

Classical fans today worry that not enough people are getting into classical music, my main worry however is not how many are taking a liking to it but how much they are actually getting out of it. It seems like plenty of people nowadays are into classical but it looks like the vast majority of...

(Please note that this is posted in the Community Forum, which "is the place for those fun, and not so serious threads") You know how you sometimes get dragged into threads that you should really avoid? And others say helpful things like, "You can put people on ignore, you know", or "You can...

This could just as well go on one of the Classical forums except... I blame this on the radio but there seems to be an increasing preponderance of "Smooth" FM stations that take favourite pieces and repeat them over and over again. It's not the artists fault but I find I can only hear simple...

I have often enjoyed an evening youtube searching for alternative takes of a favourite song. If this idea catches on I hope others will pick a favourite song, select their recommended versions and if they are lucky others will alert them to alternatves that they had been unaware of.. (hint!)...

I am looking for some speakers for classical music. I currently just use my headphones (HD598 with Fiio E10k DAC). I use FLAC files from ripped CDs. I am a student so bookshelf speakers will be best due to their portability - also my rooms tends to be small. I have heard good things about...

Here is a challenge for you: Let's find and gather all choral works with orchestra that are inspired by Russian Orthodox chant style or featuring these in some way. It does not have to be a sacred piece, it can be secular - either way. Traditionally the Russian Orthodox church does not like...

Building off of Alypius' previous threads, and using the same language/guidelines: http://www.talkclassical.com/34057-masterpieces-19th-century-solo.html http://www.talkclassical.com/34102-masterpieces-20th-century-solo.html Let's bring it to the present in his honor: WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE...

There's a context that I am looking at this in, but feel free to impose your own: Certain Ancient Greek thinkers were very averse to the introduction and success of the written word, and feared its innovation inhibiting the development of one's mind, and usurping the oral tradition. The latter...

You get to name things over-rated alongside things under-rated, BUT, here's the catch: there must be something that links the two things together. In addition, it would be nice to read your thoughts on the WHY. For example: Over: Essa Pekka Salonen, the composer. Under: Essa Pekka Salonen, the...

We have an index for composers in the guestbook and I was wondering whether we could get the same for musicians/conductors as well just to make things easier for us to not have to go through the search function :) Thanks.

Hello TC, This is not a 'do-my-homework-thread' to be sure:) But I'm going to write a longer paper (at least 30 pages), and I don't trust myself on choosing a research question; furthermore, you TC'ers have a lot of knowledge. I already 'delineated' it for myself to vocal baroque music...

I have been thinking about the threads on new music and how things have changed for me. When I was in my 20s, I was discovering new composers (and rock bands) by the dozens every week: Stockhausen, Ligeti, Messiaen, Malec, Mâche, Webern, Maderna, Nono, Kagel, Penderecki, Takemitsu, Schoenberg...
