on “Ask HN: What one piece of music should everyone listen to?” ↗A large and immense catalog does not greatness make. I consider Mussorgsky's Pictures At an Exhibition to be one of the greatest compositions ever, and yet Mussorgsky was probably not the most prolific composer.
on “Two recently found works of J.S. Bach presented in Leipzig [video]” ↗…slightly less (or at least less folkloristically) "Russian" style than some other Russian composers, although one can hardly deny his influence on Russian music. Alternatives include: - Musorgskij, Pictures at an Exhibition (or Boris Godunov) - Glinka, A Life for the Tsar - Shostakovich, 5th, 7th or 15th symphony
on “‘Jean Sibelius’ Review: An Early Finale” ↗…"I hope the Russians Love Their Children Too" quoting Prokovief's Lieutenant Kije, the Beatles quoting Beathoven's "Ode to Joy" in "All You Need is Love", and Led Zepplin's quoting from Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" in "Kashmir"). As well as, of course, wholesale popular adaptations of classical music and vice versa, and performing and composing in different genres. ____________________________ Notes: 1. <https://medium.com/@AmericanPublicU/popular-classical-music-...>
