No, you were fine. Its a song, or sonata to be specific because its played.

Nowhere in your post did you call it a Aria.

It doesnt need vocals to be called a song. xhellcatx

:lol: Irony of ironies. This thread is looking up.

Anyway Beethoven is one of my favorite composers. Moolight Sonata is incredible. Almost as good as his 5th and 9th symphonies....my personal favorites.

:roll: whatever floats your boat buddy. Anyhow I like the SONG. What you gonna do about me calling it a song huh?xhellcatx

Think im stupid cause im calling it a song?xhellcatx

Oh good lord someone i dont know on the internetz thinks im Stupid for calling a wonderful peice of music a SONG. God im crushedxhellcatx

Does it offend anyone?xhellcatx

Anyhow, argument is done. I will still call it a songxhellcatx

I remember listening to another piece in A Clockwork Orange but I cant remeber what it was. BTW I had haerd it before all over the place but never the complete song mostly just pieces in movies or commercials and stuffraider1648

Ahh...there we go thats it!

My faves are:

Brandenburg Concerto (1st and 2nd movements) by JS Bach

Summer (from the 4 seasons) by Vivaldi

O Fortuna, by Orff

The adagio from concerto grosso opus 6, number 8 by Corelli

[QUOTE="xhellcatx"][QUOTE="Funky_Llama"][QUOTE="xhellcatx"]It doesnt need vocals to be called a song. DeeJayInphinity

Moonlight Sonata is a definite. I'm a huge fan of Chopin's Raindrop Prelude myself.

I'm suprised no one's mentioned Holst's planets pieces yet, everyone knows at least Mars - Bringer of War

Then of course there's Verdi's Anvil Chorus which everyone probably knows as well.

Or Carl Orff's O fortuna which has been used in almost every commercial ever

and yes I know I've jumped to opera at the end

I'm not really sure of the definition of song.

The Moonlight Sonata is decent but these are Beethoven's true masterworks.raider1648

wow i had heard so many of these but i never knew their name or composer or anything!

Oh and anyone know the name of the piece from the beginning of the Earthworm Jim soudtrack for the evil the cat level, it's been driving me crazyanterocide

Night on Bald Mountain - Mussorgsky.

and to think he was deafLed_poison

He wasn't deaf when he wrote this. He was only just becoming aware of the severity of his hearing condition - but that's really beside the point. Any musician with decades of experience can hear a score in his head as easily as you can read this post. They may not be able to write like Beethoven, but they could certainly imagine and write music, deaf or not.

This certainly isn't Beethoven's finest work. Many of the pieces he wrote when he was truly deaf (including the late piano sonatas) are more profound, creative compositions. But when you're talking about masterpieces... let's just say that Beethoven's clearly substandard works (like the incredibly over-played Fur Elise) are still not bad compositions. And the Moonlight sonata is not a substandard work. It's creative and well-constructed.

I don't particularly like classical music... give it a dance beat and I'm there.

Fur Elise (trance mix) rocks.

DigitalExile

Meh... adding dance beats to cIassical music misses the point of the genre. Leave that for genres that are specifically designed for clubs. Bear in mind that a lot of cIassical music IS dance music already... and I suspect the composers of that music knew what they were doing when they chose not to score it with a lot of obtrusive percussion. It's not like percussion instruments didn't exist when the music was written.

Not as good as crank that halo3-player

But really... can anything match the profundity of Crank That? I mean, there's Soulja Boy, and then there's everybody else.

On another note, recommend me some Brahms. I liked his Piano Concerto in D minor and I demand MOAR! :P

So true. You might as well change your avatar from Brahms to Soulja Boy right now. >_>

Why not try his other piano concerto, which is even better? When it comes to Brahms, there's very little in his output that I wouldn't recommend, and certainly everything with an opus number is worth listening to. Many times. Like for your whole life. :P

I'm personally a very big fan of chamber music (both for playing and listening), and so I would strongly recommend anything by Brahms that fits in that genre. His chamber music isn't always as idiomatic as other composers, but the compositional quality and ingenuity is absolutely phenomenal. So the duo sonatas, trios, quartets, quintets, and sextets - all pure gold. Still can't believe I got Brahms's complete chamber music for about $40 CDN.

WUT? It would be nice if it were, though. I could pick up a Steinway concert grand for $160.

you rock, that's been driving me crazy thanks

So basically anyone can change the definition of a word? How does the english language work if that is the case? DeeJayInphinity

stuffy old men keep it rigid for 400 years until the next Revolution comes and it can finally be updated.

Sometimes, addind dance beats completely kills the piece for me. Like this version of Adagio for Strings(Don't know this is considered ****cal though)

I prefer adagio for strings
