Just found an amazing Classical Era composer

[mjames]

Kozeluch

This stuff is so *** awesome! First Wolfl, and now this...

All the more reason to say that unpopular=/=crappy composer

[visitor]

Well done.  Many sob sure and forgotten  I know, missed that one in last review.

Are you trying to be poetic, or has you applegooglespellertextprognosticator broken again?

Re Kozeluch - not bad, but doesn't quite do it for me, though the performance leaves quite a bit to be desired and isn't helping.  At least he was prolific, so should keep you busy for a while.

I suppose that classical era music is finally starting to click with me. I feel like the better I get at playing piano the better I become at appreciating and loving different genres and eras/periods of piano music.

2 years ago I would have called mozart or bach boring. A year ago, snobbish little me would have called pop piano rubbish. It's really funny how tastes can change so easily!

He stole the first two bars from Rachmaninoff

Because that's totally possible, Rach having been born about fifty years after the classical period....

Yes, we already establish in another thread that time travel is very much a reality.

What are you talking about? Reality is just an illusion project into the light particles by NASA, who is in fact, working for the government!

It's quite obvious from the above composition that Kozeluch worked for the US government as well. I think I've heard this music playing in my tooth filling... must get it removed asap...

One must also ask not to forget that history isn't perceived as a straight line but in fact certain time periods overlaps. What can we know for sure about the past, when we have not experienced it first hand?

FYI there's three pieces by Kozeluch in the database at pianosyllabus.com listed at grades 8, 7 and 3. Relevant Youtube links are:

Op 1 No 3 mvt 1 Allegro con brio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob94MBJbxtQ

He's probably already infested the radio in your computer- you're screwed.
