Medieval And Renaissance composers: “Are we a joke to you?”

To me, there is an entirely different era: Beethoven. He's neither classical nor romantic. He's just Beethoven, and we love him for it.

I know it's Baroque when it slaps.

My friends are always surprised when I tell them that I absolutely detest the classical era from classical music 😅

When listening to the classical music radio station in my city, I try to guess 1) approximate year, 2) country/nationality, and 3) composer. I generally do well with approximate year and country/nationality.

I wish more people talked about transitionary composers like all the galant composers from 1730 to 1780, like Quantz, the Bach sons, etc. And no, the baroque period did not end by the death of Bach - not remotely. For more than 10 years before his death, people were already composing in a different style that is called galant which eventually leads to the classical style. As far as I know, pretty much all non-Bach composers had moved on to a new style already before 1750. Bach was just really old fashioned, but it's okay, we love him. One of the very big reasons contrast between baroque and classical period is huge is because the canon skips all the transitionary composers between baroque and classical style.

is there a tracklist for all featured songs :DD

Amazing video as always! Although I'm sure we'd appreciate it if, for future videos, you showed the names of the pieces being played at the corner of the screen.

I for one would very much have wanted to know WHAT, WHAT, WHAT? I was hearing. Many years of intense listening and I feel like I'm just getting into it. So much music, so little time! (At least tell us what all the Modern stuff was, I could only place a bit of it).

Shostakovich 5 ❤❤❤❤

If it's got that sweet, sweet counterpoint, then it's baroque (or listen if A = 415).

Thank you for making a genre of music, accessible and inviting.

Feel like its important also to note that while earlier composers are much less likely to fit this bill, some later (thinking of a particular western sounding Russian) composers would sort of push the boundaries of what was considered proper and would have works that would be difficult to identify without more context than sound.

yeaaaa merci beaucoup !!

Excellent piece of Music-appreciation education! Well-done.

Cool educational video! 😂 ❤

Great video for the Wagner stuff. Tennstedt was an unsurpassed Wagner conductor.
