To a kid, making music can seem very mysterious, but the fundamental love of playing around with different sounds and listening to how they sound when strung fluidly together is something every musician and composer discovers first in childhood. “I wanted a toy that allowed children to discover for themselves how music was actually made.“
Hell I’m 18 and I would play with this
I want it.
May I also interest you in the Siegfried Horn Call for Chair?
Hey! Would u mind suggesting me some sad classical music?
I’ll do my best - I don’t know many pieces that are completely sad because most have contrasting sections and shit like that so I’ll include those too and write the emotions in brackets.
- TCHAIK 6 (my favorite piece of classical music) The whole thing is considered kind of suicide note from what I remember but especially the last movement will give you chills
- THE OBOE SOLO FROM TCHAIKOVSKY’S HAMLET OVERTURE - most beautifully haunting thing you’ll ever hear although I’ve yet to find recordings that compare to how it is in person.
- Shostakovich String Quartet no. 8 (another meant to be suicide note)
- Shostakovich Piano Quintet op 57
- Tchaikovsky Marche Slave (sad + angry I guess)
- Grieg - Peer Gynt - Aase’s Death
- Beethoven 7 mvt 2 (really good just in general, builds up more emotion and anger as it goes on but some calmer/relaxed major parts)
- Chopin op 64 waltz no. 2
- Joe Hisaishi - The Rain
- Ennio Morricone - Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso
- Ernesto Cortazar - Beethoven’s Silence
- Chopin - Spring Waltz
- Tchaikovsky 5 mvt 1 (probably the rest too tbh)
- Schindler’s List - Theme and Remembrances - John Williams
- Handel Violin Sonata no. 1 in A major mvts 1 and 3
- Eccles Sonata in G minor mvts 1 and 3 (or maybe the whole thing if you count faster minor stuff)
- J.S. Bach - Allegro (I know that’s vague but it’s the one in Suzuki Violin Book 8 and comes up first when you type bach allegro into youtube)
- J.S. Bach Sonata for solo violin no. 3 - Largo
- Mozart Flute Quartet in D major mvt 2
- CPE Bach - Flute Sonata in A minor mvt 1
- Elgar Serenade for Strings mvts 1 and 2
- Dvorak New World Symphony - Largo
- Richard Strauss - Metamorphosen
I’ve been listening to snippets of these pieces for an hour now and I’m starting to not be able to tell what to count at sad anymore so I think I’ll stop now. Hope I got a few decent ones in there somewhere and hopefully some new pieces for you :)
