#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalQuartet Week 3
April is the fourth month of the year. And so the Classics a Day team decided to make it quartet month. This April the challenge is to post classical works that require four musicians. String quartets are the most common grouping of four -- but there are others.
#ClassicsaDay #SymYesNo Week 1
What does the title "symphony" mean? Can a composition be a symphony in everything but name? Or could a work titled "symphony" be a different type of composition in disguise?
#ClassicsaDay #Stokowski Week 4
Stokowski’s recording legacy spans over 60 years. And whether he was conducting a premier orchestra or a group of studio musicians, the sound was unmistakable.
Music and Context: Webern in Mayberry
Those folks who say they don't listen to works by the Second Viennese School (Schoenberg, et al) hear quite a lot of music inspired by it -- and quite often. Because while concert-goers may have been slow to embrace the sonic possibilities of 12-tone music, many musicians and composers have -- especially film composers.
