Limiting this to American-born composers who primarily composed "concert music" (i.e. excluding Broadway / Pop / Jazz composers who also occasionally wrote classical pieces):
Pre-WWII: Charles Ives (mostly for his attitude and historical significance)
Post-WWI: Samuel Barber |

It did produce a few (Purcell, Elgar, Britten, etc.), but it's definitely one of the weakest facets of their otherwise strong cultural achievement and there are long periods of history where there is no major native-born figure of importance that they can even pretend to brag about, so it's a good question.
The "popular" academic answer is that the combined effects of Handel + Mendelssohn (both of whom spent a tremendous amount of their respective careers in Britain and were very popular with the royals and thus exerted an overpowering influence on the island to a degree that no single composer ever did across mainland Europe) + the extremely hierarchical class and social system of the country (which allegedly helped to amplify this effect) combined to turn British musical culture into a musically stagnant knockoff factory for ~250 years. I'm not sure I entirely buy that explanation; it could also be that Brits are just fucking faggots who lack souls. |

Off the top of my head: Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Messaien, Britten were all still active at that time, and I would say Britten's War Requiem (1962) and Shostakovich's 13th Symphony (same) were the strongest works that had recently been produced by that quartet which immediately come to mind. |

It wasn't, it was just different (except unironically).
Bach is the epitome of the Baroque and there is absolutely nothing "classical" about his style.
Mahler was one of the greatest conductors of all time and a first rank composer, but he is nevertheless grossly overrated today (he's a more popular symphonist than Brahms lmao) because we live in a sick and morally deranged society run by evil Jews for their own benefit and self-aggrandizement.
Messiaen is 173. |

Messian also extends beyond 1975.
I don't know Grisey well.
Messiaen was a bit of a modern-day Berlioz, and there are some substantial weaknesses in his fundamental compositional technique (just like Berlioz) which he partially but not entirely offsets with his incredible ear for color / sonority and phenomenal creativity (just like Berlioz).
Please elaborate on the ways that Bach was "an early influence on Classical" (whatever you think that means). The Rococo Style -- which was a direct precursor to the Classical Style and a temporally intermediate link between the Baroque period and the Classical period -- shares almost nothing in common with Baroque Style, and the early Classical Style was built out of the Rococo Style. It was actually only much later in the Classical period that Mozart etc. began to really rediscovered Bach / Handel and systematically explore their music and incorporate notable elements of purposeful structured counterpoint etc. into their own music. But that would make Bach an influence on later Classical period music, not on the Classical Style as a whole, and certainly not as an "early" influence on the development of Classical Style. |

Bach is God, but Beethoven arguably produced the single greatest and most stylistically wide-ranging collection of musical masterpieces ever created by a single human and he is also arguably the single most historically important cultural figure in the direct development of Western music.
It's pretty much common consensus that Mozart was the single greatest all-around musical genius in recorded history, taking into account all facets of his gifts. Mozart also died at just 36 and Bach lived to 65, so it's impossible to say what Mozart would have produced if he was given Bach's time on earth. The counterpoint at the end of the final movement of the Jupiter Symphony rivals pretty much anything that Bach ever wrote, and I don't say that lightly.
Finally, even if Bach > Mozart and Beethoven (debatable but possible), Mozart + Beethoven + Haydn are collectively definitely > Bach + Handel + Vivaldi are collectively. |

In the realm of classical music?
The best are probably Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor ("The Black Mahler"), William Grant Still ("The Dean of African American Composers"), and George Walker. None of them deserve to be discussed alongside the truly great white classical composers. |

Because classical music after 1975 has mostly been a bunch of comparatively talentless neurotic kikes and homosexual faggots prancing around in the ivory tower jacking off for music theorists, and I don't want to waste my time rating Thomas Ades or whatever just because some pretentious pumo wants to name drop him in this thread. |

Early Scriabin is *very* different from late Scriabin. Bear that in mind as you explore. You can tell that it comes from the same mind, on some level, but the musical language is like night and day. Early Scriabin sounds kind of like Russified Chopin. Late Scriabin sounds like nothing else.

Prokofiev was the greater natural melodist. Stravinsky was the greater everything else. Both were very fine composers, of course.
Musicians love Stravinsky more than Prokofiev because they are trained to respond to craft, and Stravinsky kicked Prokofiev's ass in all of the "professional" metrics and was god-tier as a craftsman. Audiences generally love Prokofiev more than Stravinsky (except for Stravinsky's three early ballet scores) because audiences always have and always will love melody above almost everything else. That's also why they love Tchaikovsky over both of them. |

Lots of people think that Arthur Rubinstein and Vladimir Horowitz etc. were "the greatest pianists of the 20th century". They're obviously very high level, but they're not even close to the top. The generation of pianists who came before them and sadly left relatively few recordings (Rosenthal, Lhevinne, Hofmann, etc.) far surpassed them in many ways and represented the true golden age of pianism.
Just listen to Lhevinne's recording of Chopin's etude in thirds or his own arrangement of Strauss's "Blue Danube" for a small taste of that vanished and little known musical world. |
|
Date: December 18th, 2021 3:52 PM Author: purple appetizing half-breed stage tyty, I will check those out. And I appreciate the historical note, but I would carve myself out from those people -- I'm not trying to say Rubinstein was the best, and he has a number of recording especially late in his career that do nothing for me, but I think he plays the nocturnes and the ballades like a magician (and Chopin being a top composer, this is an accomplishment). And Horowitz never did much for me idk
edit: i also love Kissin, if this helps you judge me |

Rubinstein is a fine Chopin interpreter, but I'm not aware of anything in his recorded oeuvre that really matches this level of interpretation or execution:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eU2k0VaMQo (Hofmann, recorded after he was already a serious alcoholic)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYWPpBwTcXA (Lhevinne)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ECn-oe3bOQ (Rosenthal, recorded in old age -- the second one especially is incredible)
Etc. |

Yes. For goys, that would be the wallpaper-tier subset of Baroque composers (Telemann etc) who they incorrectly think are "fancy". For Jews, that would be the Minimalists (Reich, Glass, Riley, etc.), who are also all wallpaper-tier, but whom posing kikes seem to incorrectly think are "deep". |

“Theirs [the Beatles] is a happy, cocky, belligerently resourceless brand of harmonic primitivism... In the Liverpudlian repertoire, the indulged amateurishness of the musical material, though closely rivaled by the indifference of the performing style, is actually surpassed only by the ineptitude of the studio production method. 'Strawberry Fields' suggests a chance encounter at a mountain wedding between Claudio Monteverdi and a jug band.” -- Glenn Gould |

Mendelssohn was probably the most naturally brilliant. Gershwin might have had the greatest purely melodic gift. Schoenberg is unquestionably the most historically important (for better or worse, I think most people would say for worse in 2021). Mahler is everyone's favorite now, but consider the state of modern society before you decide whether that makes him truly great or not. Johann Strauss was technically Jewish too, I guess, but his stuff -- while highly enjoyable -- is all unapologetically "light" in nature and was basically the pop / Broadway of his day and has no pretense to depth.
...and just like that, we have completed out tour of the great Jewish composers in Western classical music history (excluding Broadway composers) prior to 1975. Huh. Crazy how even though they dominate high level musically interpretive spheres like performance, and excel at churning out "popular" music, and have been deeply involved in European and American music for centuries, Jews clearly aren't actually some sort of all-mighty master race when it comes to actually creating original musical works at the very highest levels of intellectual, artistic, and spiritual achievement (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Wagner, etc.-level immortal masterpieces of depth and beauty). Strange! Wonder if there are any conclusions we could possibly draw from that! |

**"...born Aaron Kaplan, in Brooklyn, New York, in..."
You mean the neurotic short ugly gay bald hooknosed little wheezing kike thief who shamelessly stole all of "his" best / most famous musical ideas from other sources, e.g.:
"Hoedown" from "Rodeo": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsReWx9XdNs
Oh wait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yeQucos9-M
"Simple Gifts" from "Appalachian Spring:": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI6RYZygevA'
Oh wait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RPUjuraS5U
And that was all after he consciously decided to sell out for money and popularity in the 1940's, incidentally. Before then -- back when he was "trying" to be a "serious concert artist" -- he was writing horribly ugly atonal Jewish bullshit like this (which no one listens to anymore):
