List of Composers! Fun!
on: January 06, 2004, 05:21:01 AM
I remember a recent summer music academy at which a popular game at 2:00 AM would be for two or more people to alternately list published composers until one could no longer name any and would lose... it is amazing how many we know if we organize them, I reached 170+. Of course I also cheated, because the non-pianists were mildly dim... but oh well...

So anyway it occured to me, as a forum, combing all of our knowledge/experience, how many published composers we could list... maybe a thousand? This might be an intersting way to unearth highly obscure or forgotten oddities.

Please make it a point to exclude bad or rock composers, or whatever they are called!

Anyway, to begin:

1. Bach, J.S.  8)
"Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them."
--Richard Wagner

Ed I think you missed the point - we were supposed to be seeing how many composers we could name not how many we could copy and paste from somewhere!

What a list, Ed.  I noticed that you included some composers from Latin America.  Does anybody here have any experience with composers from say Mexico or Brazil?  That would be interesting in concert, it would be good to play something not composed in Europe or America for a change.

Actually I didn't. ;)

Nazareth would not be considered a classical composer in Brazil (although he would have liked that very much). His situation is very similar to Scott Joplin. Both paid tribute to Chopin, both had classical aspirations (Joplin even wrote a ragtime Opera!), and both died without getting recognised by the classical establishment of the time. If I had included Nazareth it would have been very difficult to draw the line, and the number of Brazilian composers would easily have been ten times Ed's list. Now we don't really want that, do we? ;D

My wife is Brazilian. So I know quite a bit about it. What would you like?

There are a number of Brazilian pianists living in London (if you are in the UK). Nelson Freire is the most famous one, but usually he plays Brazilian music only as encores - the bulk of his repertory is romantic music. Cristina Ortiz is much more nationalistic, often doing concerts completely dedicated to Brazilian music.

The great majority of Brazilian classical composers follow the regional/nationalistic school, basically using native rhythms and folk songs as the basis for their work (not that different form Liszt, or Grieg, or Chopin)

John Baptist Cramer
John Field
Samuel Wesley
Samuel Sebastian Wesley
George Frederick Pinto
Dussek

- and yes, Ed.  The big copy/paste thing from an encyclopedia sort of flies in the face of the *intent* of the law, even if it meets the *letter* of the law.  Unless, of course, you had all of that memorized from the same summer camp as Rach3!

I remember a recent summer music academy at which a popular game at 2:00 AM would be for two or more people to alternately list published composers until one could no longer name any and would lose... it is amazing how many we know if we organize them, I reached 170+. Of course I also cheated, because the non-pianists were mildly dim... but oh well...

So anyway it occured to me, as a forum, combing all of our knowledge/experience, how many published composers we could list... maybe a thousand? This might be an intersting way to unearth highly obscure or forgotten oddities.

Please make it a point to exclude bad or rock composers, or whatever they are called!

Anyway, to begin:

1. Bach, J.S.  8)


 Bach wasn't published in his lifetime. ;)

I was hurt to see how little the Romanian list was... (and Ed... it's spelled Romanian, not Rumanian; Enescu, not Enesco ;])
Add Ciprian Porumbescu and Musicescu family. I would feel bad for you to have to read all those romanian names that wouldn' help you at all ;)

The Maksim website is one of the funniest things ever!
I think it's hilarious that he has pictures to download. There's one where he is distressed over the piano!

Does he play well?

Some people like Maksim, and yet some don't.  There's really no need to criticize or insult people for what they prefer to like.  But one thing I can say is Maksim does inspire young people to take up piano lessons, just like Vanessa Mae does for violinists.
Even though his style of presenting the classical music is controversial, at least it appeals to general public's taste, which is why he's now counting his dollar notes while most pianists are still learning our musical notes......
But I think we should all be open minded and respect other people's art even though we may not like or agree with what they do.  Otherwise, we'll have too many people to dislike because every artist is unique and individual.  Don't you all think so??

Just skimming over this thread I see it was a very bad idea, I apologize. It works better away from computers and cut-and-paste technology.

Comme_le_vent, yes I do categorically label all rock music as "bad music". This is a subjective matter of aesthetics. Please refrain from name-calling.
