Bruckner's Aequales

I'm looking for Bruckner's 2 Aequales, and haven't been very fruitful in finding sheet music. Recordings however..... :roll: :lol: . If these are public domain, I'd really apreciate someone putting them up.

Re: How to make students love piano?

As someone who's taken piano lessons, I will say that it is rather useful to know your way around a keyboard, but as a Trumpet player and Composer, I've found the piano to be, well, rather over-used and consiquently, boring, as well as alot of the music writen for it. Now I say this, because, perhap...

Re: Pieces that Grow Louder, then Subside

Bruckner's adagio movements do that alot.
The Adagios of Mahler 4 and 9.
The final movement Gothic Symphony by Havergal Brian.
The Lord's Prayer by Malotte.
Das Klagende Lied my Mahler as a whole starts and ends quiet (with the exception of the orchestral stab at the very end).

Re: Favorite Climaxes

Richard Strauss's Solome has the most amazing show-biz climax at the end :mrgreen: . Do you mean the very end, where she get crushed (the squealing woodwinds at 362 are inspired) or the preceding multi-peak climax of the scene with the head (I like the famous grinding chord a half measure before 36...

Re: Harmonizing a Melody

When you say doubling, do you mean it in terms of two different colors (z.B. Cello and Euphonium), or in terms of voices (like the alto and soprano lines being in unison for a chorale or something similar)? Also, NEVER, and I mean NEVER , double the third unless you ABSOLUTELY have to, unless the do...

Re: Harmonizing a Melody

For chord progressions, it's best to look to folk-songs or old baroque trumpet tunes to start with. Bruckner is still a good idea, though, because he was very good at tonal, chromatic progressions, if that's what you're looking for. There's a billion or two ways to progress chords; write the root n...

Re: Favorite Climaxes

Honestly, I think Mahler wanted that "stab-die" at the end. Sure, a massive unison D would sound nice there, but it doesn't have the "My secret fortune that only I know about is located at the *abruptly dies* :lol: " affect that Mahler utalized in many of his early pieces (just l...

Re: Favorite Genre(s) and Why

I forgot to mention that I do like symphonic music. I prefer a less dense orchestra, so I am too crazy with the Mahler, Bruckner, and Richard Strauss orchestral works. This seems to be a very unfortunate mistake that a good number of people make. Bruckner didn't call for extreamly big orchestras. S...

Re: Favorite Genre(s) and Why

Actually, I've heard some amazing clarinettists; I just don't like the sound very much, with the exception of the bass and contrabass. Usually, when composing, if I want a woodwind solo at that range, I'll write it for English Horn, which has the most beautiful tone of all the instruments, I think :...

Favorite Genre(s) and Why

I didn't see anything like this yet (though I probably haven't dug deep enough) on the forum. I mean we have threads dedicated our favorite composers and pieces, but let's get to the heart of it. What's you favorite genre (and feel free to include any sub-genres i.e. Orchestral can be symphonic, cha...
