Well I assume that 'classical' means 'the music with serious meanings', and that's my definition of classical music. Actually there are lots of composers in 20th century and 21st century:some of them use radical techniques such as the absence of tonality(a.k.a. atonic music) while others put jazz/rock elements into their own music(a perfect and famous example is some of Ravel's works).Mogsworth wrote:

Guess what!? I'm currently practicing Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# Minor!mathexpert9981 wrote:
An absolutely stunningly beautiful piece, unfortunately it's by a lesser-known composer so not many know about it.
A piece that truly explores every inch of the piano to its full potential.
Written by Beethoven, Transcribed by Lizst, performed by Gould. Holy crap.

Really cool, currently I'm working on the Pathetique sonata (among others, but that's my main piece) but I hope to play it in the future too~ :3Moriya Suwako wrote:

I've not yet played any of lizst's pieces, but I do enjoy listening to his 1st Mephisto Waltz; imo one of the best pieces in the romantic erawinber1 wrote:
I also like Franz Liszt a lot, but it's probably because I find playing his pieces fun, but fooking tiring sometimes.
Pathetique sonata is surely great, I particularly love the second movement. Btw the first movement is tough, good luck!mathexpert9981 wrote:

It's not necessary to be instrumental, in my opinion. Like Schoenberg and Webern, who wrote lots of vocal music.
I'm commenting on the typical definition of 'classical' in the modern public mindset. I just find the 'classical' umbrella annoying as fuck.
