Classical Music: what I do and don’t know

As a guide to contributors, this is what I already know in music, and what I’d like to know more of. The latter is in boldface.

Classical Music.

• Perotin
• Stuff between Perotin and Ars Subtilior
• Ars Subtilior
• Stuff between Ars Subtilior and Corelli
• Liked Byrd. Freaked out by Vincenzo Galilei. Liked Schutz.
• Corelli
• Bach, Bach, Bach
• Mozart, Mozart
• Love the Clarinet Quintet, the Requiem, the last symphonies, the Violin Concertos. Liked the operas, need to revisit. Need piano concertos. Needs to be convinced everything else is not fluff
• Beethoven, Beethoven
• Love the symphonies. Challenged by the Grosse Fuge. Know very little else.
• Anything between Beethoven and Wagner
• Love Berlioz Requiem and Symphonie Fantastique, enough not to call him French. Will gradually make peace with Chopin
• Wagner
• Have heard the Ring once, and that was 30 years ago
• Brahms
• Love the 4th. That’s all I know.
• Mahler, Mahler, Mahler
• Berg, Berg
• Love the Violin Concerto and Wozzeck. Not sure I’d love anything else
• Shostakovich, Shostakovich
• Love the symphonies, the preludes & fugues, the cello concertos, and the 8th string quartet. Am OK with Rayok, but it’s not as subversive as he thought it is. Need to know more.
• Stravinsky, Stravinsky
• Know the standard Stravinsky Mark #1 stuff; fascinated by Les Noces. Loved Pulcinella, Symphony of Psalms and Oedipus Rex, need to know more Stravinsky Mark #2 stuff. Doubtful will like Stravinsky Mark #3, but I’m OK with the Requiem Canticles.
• John Adams
• I think I’ve tuned out of what he did post-Klinghoffer though.
