great parts in stupid music

[tee_dee_es]

just to balance things off...

[musik_man]

The first 3 minutes of Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto.

[thalbergmad]

The first 3 minutes of Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto.

I woz gonna say the last 3.

[Motrax]

Introduction of Medtner's 1st piano concerto. (Not that I'd go so far as to call it "stupid" music, but I can't really stand it after 5 minutes ).

[hodi]

the opening of the 3rd movement of brahms violin concerto in d major

[krittyot]

The 3rd mov of Brahms VC is a great piece of music, man.

[mikey6]

This is what's irritating me about these threads.  People are criticising the best pieces of music ever written based on what? what THEY approve of or what sounds right or wrong to them, not what's musical, or what makes musical sence.
The Brahms concerto and the Beethoven concerto are the 2 greates violin concerto's ever written.  I know it's all subjective but it's all pointless to.

[el nino]

The first 3 minutes of Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto.

and what about the 2nd movement :it's extremely beautiful...

[thorn]

Debussy Preludes Bk 2 Nr 9.... the whole piece sans opening bars is lovely

[sissco]

Alkan Op. 39 No. 4 Symphony for piano; Allegro. I don't like that symphonie at all but the first 30 seconds are great  No seriously 

[mikey6]

Debussy Preludes Bk 2 Nr 9.... the whole piece sans opening bars is lovely

Debussy preludes is 'stupid music'?

[panic]

Alkan Op. 39 No. 4 Symphony for piano; Allegro. I don't like that symphonie at all but the first 30 seconds are great  No seriously 

 
First movement = compositionally one of the best pieces Alkan ever wrote, in my opinion!

On this topic, maybe the first five minutes of the Busoni concerto's first movement, since the rest of the movement kinda lags.

First movement = compositionally one of the best pieces Alkan ever wrote, in my opinion!

One of Alkan's most original and deep musical statements to boot.

[tee_dee_es]

tds, i dont like this thread!

[thorn]

Debussy preludes is 'stupid music'?

no! just the first 8 or so bars of prelude 9 from book 2

i would never say the debussy preludes are stupid, because a) it's arrogant, and b) i love the other 23

[musik_man]

On this topic, maybe the first five minutes of the Busoni concerto's first movement, since the rest of the movement kinda lags.

If only the other 65 minutes were at that level.

[panic]

I think the fourth movement is GENIUS, even if it's not the deepest musical statement ever written. The third movement has its moments too (the first piano entrance is surreal).

[etudes]

One of Alkan's most original and deep musical statements to boot.

agree!

[pianote]

tds, i dont like this thread!

If this thread were the"stupid music", this message must be the "great part".

She makes my libido go allegro molto.

[lisztisforkids]

The first 3 minutes of Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto.

Agreed.

2nd movement of Balakreivs 2 piano concerto...

[Waldszenen]

The first... five minutes of Prokofiev's PC No. 2.

[panic]

^!?!

The last 1:10 (Ogdon) of the OC Passacaglia, pretty much. Maybe the last 5.
