Just learned about this in music history. The Berlioz story is a true story. He was obsessed with a specific diva and stalked her. They ended up getting married. Then she got butt hurt because his career was still on the rise and hers was declining so they divorced.
bro I was waited scriabin like "scriabin hears a note - someone taking lsd and seeing bunch of colors because scriabin is synesthet" or something but this video is sooo good congrats !
I don't know much about classical music, so I wasn't expecting to see a extreme case of "that guy" in this video. God damn Berlioz, that was very tone-deaf
*Bach:* His music is very complicated, pretty-self explanatory. Lots of counterpoint, fugue, and heavy, thick texture. *Vivaldi:* Four Seasons is a banger and was pretty revolutionary for the time it was written. *Beethoven:* Widely regarded as a genius just for the sheer inventiveness of his music for the time it was written *Schumann:* I guess he didn't have many friends? Not sure. *Wagner:* Wagner notoriously published a thing basically hating on Jewish composers, with particular reference to Mendelssohn, who was Jewish. I guess Mendelssohn is more popular than him. *Mendelssohn:* Mendelssohn was born into a rich family, and unlike most composers we hear about, never really had much by way of financial struggles. *Liszt:* Liszt's pieces are notoriously hard to play for pianists because of all the crazy technique it takes to play them well. *Pachelbel:* Pachelbel's Canon is literally just the same 8 chords over and over again throughout the whole piece, and cellists are the root of the chord, so they're playing the same 8 notes on repeat for like 5 minutes. *Medtner:* I don't know anything about this, but I guess the popular opinion is that he's the Russian Brahms, which is apparently not a compliment, and also disputed. *Ravel:* Apparently he suffered from dementia in the last few years of his life, and it progressively got worse and worse until he died. Quite tragic, really. *Mahler:* His pieces are all just genuinely that good, especially his symphonies, which are just epic in the truest possible sense. *Chopin:* Liszt was forced to apologize to Chopin after adding all manner of embellishments to one of his nocturnes, and it was a major falling out between them. *Shostakovich:* His "Leningrad" Symphony No. 7, was actually blasted in the city of Leningrad while the city was under siege by the Germans during WWII. It's a great piece as well. *Schubert:* Quite poor throughout his life. Never really struck it big. *Tchaikovsky:* 1812 Overture has cannons in the score to simulate the battle against the Napoleonic French forces. Funny enough, he actually hated the piece because it was too obnoxious. *Handel:* It's kind of a meme that nobody likes Handel, or at least he's not anybody's favorite composer. I don't really understand why, his music is pretty great imo. *Rachmaninoff:* People started calling him "Mr. Prelude in C♯ Minor" because the piece was so famous, and he got requests for it literally every time he performed. *Cage:* 4'33" is a "Piece" of his where he just stood at his piano and didn't play anything. Very modern. *Schoenberg:* Famous for his 12-tone system and atonalism. Quite controversial, and it's hard to get into if you aren't predisposed to it. *Brahms:* Clara Schumann and Brahms got pretty close after Robert started suffering from a fatal illness. Pretty sure they never actually had an affair, nor were they openly in a relationship after Robert died, but Brahms did have feelings for her so it was good enough to start rumors about. *Prokofiev:* Lots of cluster chords, and his pieces are sometimes quite violent. *Mozart:* It seems like Mozart's life was pretty tragic on occasion, but his pieces were usually quite joyful and exuberant. *Paganini:* It was believed that Paganini had sold his soul to the Devil in order to gain his amazing skill on the violin. I'm pretty sure he denied having his last rites given to him by the church before his death, which added some fuel to the claim that he was a Devil-worshipper, although he may have thought he didn't need Last Rites because he wasn't dying. *Berlioz:* Quite an interesting story, he became obsessed with an actress named Harriet Smithson and wrote her letters constantly, but never to any avail. He wrote his "Symphonie Fantastique" about her, and then when they met he swallowed a cyanide pill and basically threatened suicide if she wouldn't marry him, which she did. They split some years after. *Strauss(es):* Johann Strauss I and II are known for "Radetzky March" and "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" respectively. Richard Strauss is not included. *Stravinsky:* His pieces had a lot of rhythmic and chordal repetition. Not unlike a classical composer to use the same motif/theme multiple times in a work, but just how many they do it is the question. Hope this helps 👍
