Totally random question, but I'm curious! If you were a piece of classical (romantic, baroque, whatever) music, which would you be and why? What piece best represents your life and personality? It can be a symphony, a concerto, anything =)

Adriana Hölszky, FluxReflux, for as.
Brian Ferneyhough, L´Chute d´Icare, for cl.
Kozan Kanamori, Shufugin, for shakuhachi.
They´re very complex, they use the whole range of the instrument, they´re contemporary as anything, they´re mindboggingly difficult. They´re tiresome, and subtle, I try for such a long time by now to come to grips with them, they sound absolutely beautiful. There are times when I think I comprehend them.

Any Bach fugue... Because I'm complex but very very neat and 'by the rules', but at the same time I like to break them.

"Now the Great Bear and Pleiades where earth moves
Are drawing up the clouds of human grief,
Breathing solemnity in the deep night" (Peter Grimes)
Alternatively, the nightmare song from Iolanthe.
Or the end of Das Lied von der Erde.
Take your pick.
-----------
If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

"Liquorice, That depends how open one´s ears are, and the stuff inbetween them. Honestly."
So most people in the world don't have open ears or much stuff between them? This kind of arrogance often accompanies insecurity- you said yourself that there are times when you THINK you comprehend these pieces!

Who´s arrogant, Liquorice? The phrase "most people in the world" is used by "most people in the world" to express just their inability to take a step beyond what they call good taste. Yes, I try to comprehend how to play those pieces, I am so to say gnawing my way through them, I hear the beauty in those compositions, their uncompromising complexity and dazzling demands of the clarinet´s possibilities. Music is not a matter of taste, and You´d be amazed how vast the majority of the world´s musical works of art just give a **** about well-tempered-ness and those blase ideas of the 18th-19th century. Insecure I am, indeed, about whether I do such a piece justice, whether I come up to it, whether I suceed in making myself transparent enough to let the piece come out, whether I put enough of myself aside to come to grips with its plateaus. This is something totally different from the insecurity which makes people titel "arrogant" something their taste hinders them to listen to. I would call the adjective "unlistenable" arrogant, "I don´t dig it."´d be enough - one doesn´t have to; but not to hear the brilliance in such compositions interpreted, is.

Ennio Morricone is one of the true genius' of film music, and therefore I can understand the Good, Bad and the Ugly inclusion...some of you should check the soundtrack to ONce Upon a Time in the West....
I also love Varese Octandre...

The third movement's very accurate, right? (ducks for cover)

"The good, the bad and the ugly" is an excellent summation of life in general.
Sometimes life is good.
Sometimes life is bad.
But most times, life is just real ugly... GBK

The Aeroplane Jelly song
I guess this will resonate only in the memories of ageing Aussies
(hi diz, markp!).
As a small child I found the tune so totally satisfying that I shared it with everyone I met (once even to a herd of cows). I sang it so often and with such passion that I'm sure it became part of me at a molecular level.
Those 45+ will remember the tune, but probably not the full lyrics, which I note here for posterity:
I like aeroplane jelly
aeroplane jelly for me
I like it for dinner
I like it for tea
a little each day is a good recipe
The quality's high as the name would imply
It's made from pure fruit juice
One more good reason why...
I like aeroplane jelly
aeroplane jelly for me.
