With regard to the case of Brahms, there is a story that after visiting the funeral of Anton Bruckner in 1896, Brahms said “It will be my time soon”. And, as a prediction, one year later, Brahms passed away.

As weird as this might sound, I’ve always had a sort of strange fascination with the macabre, especially as it pertains to prominent figures. As an avid reader of biographies, it’s always a poignant moment for me once I reach the end, when the subject is faced with his or her own mortality. These composers, who lead incredibly productive, creative, and impactful lives, died just like ordinary mortals, reminding us that even the most extraordinary journeys ultimately come to a humble end.

If I may say so, wise words from a young lady, Miss! Like you, I also have a fascination about death, especially when thinking about what the world would be like without music! It is obvious yet unimaginable that the music that these people composed had never been heard until they lived and even during their lifetime, not many would have heard it and yet we take it for granted that we can hear it whenever and wherever we wish!

This could be turned into a series! Really love the storytelling

Why, thank you! You know, this video was actually supposed to be longer; I originally had 10 composers on my list. But, in my attempt to learn what style yields higher viewer retention, I opted for a shorter video. I think it was the right choice! People watched a much higher percentage of this one. Perhaps I *should* make a part 2...

For anyone who doesn't know, "non plus" means "no more".

There were others, e.g., Mozart (35), Schubert (31), and George Gershwin (38). So many died young yet I believe it was uncommon for people to live long lives for the times of Mozart and Schubert. However, they left us remarkable jewels of beautiful music which we enjoy. I have taught music history for many decades and these videos are being added to my curriculum.

AMAZING! The imagery was really vivid, the backgrounds worked really well, and it was like a mini documentary! You did such a good job on this one, probably one of my favorites so far.

Aww, thank u very much, Fran! You know, I was originally planning on not doing any voice over for this one and just using text (because I haaaate the sound of my voice sometimes). But I’m glad I changed my mind! Working with the other voice actors was pretty fun as well! Additionally, I recently studied a bit about sound design from the amazing editors here on YT, and I had lots of fun with all the sound effects for this vid!

Thank u very much Rach! I’m honored to have such a remarkable composer such as yourself watching my videos! 🙏

The pieces of music I find comfort in are often the ones written in a time where the composer needed comfort himself. Music is one way of expressing emotion, and to dismiss classical music as boring just because it’s “slow” ect. really underestimates the hard work and time the composer spent. And I understand, if classical music is not your taste that’s fine! But just appreciate the hard work that allowed the composer to create such art! That being said, I wish these composers eternal happiness in the afterlife. They created masterpieces that will forever be timeless.. RIP 🤍🤍🤍🕊️🕊️🕊️ Btw sorry I wrote such a long comment 🥴😅

@@lisys511 Sorabji was a great English/Indian composer that made an effort to combine the Indian classical tradition with the western one, and in the process invented an extremely unique experimental style which incorporates unorthodox rhythms and harmonies. His vast piano piece portfolio is often known for its use of three staves which he uses to notate his extremely complex music. All that said, his music is an acquired taste, and as such, it requires a lot of effort from the listener to get any enjoyment, hence it’s obscure nature.

@Senhor_Bolacha

@@georgealderson4424 Let me translate it from a site and bring here to you; here is the complete story: His already delicate health, particularly due to increasingly serious and frequent lung infections, weakened him considerably in the last years of his life. One of the most illustrious representatives of Polish emigration, Father Alexandre Jelowicki, a close friend of Chopin, was close to the musician on his deathbed. The priest himself would later report in detail Chopin's return to his old faith. Father Alexandre took advantage of the composer's sweet humor to talk to him about his beloved mother Justina, a good Christian. “Yes,” said Chopin, “so as not to offend my mother I would receive the sacraments before I die, but I do not give them the consideration you desire. I understand the blessing of confession as the relief of a heavy heart through a helping hand, but not as a sacrament. I am ready to confess to you if you wish, because I love you, not because I consider it necessary.” But the priest did not despair of grace, which seemed to be close at hand. On the night of October 12, 1849, the musician's doctor, convinced that Chopin would die very soon, called Father Alexandre, who ran to meet him. The dying man shook the doctor's hand, but asked him to leave; He assured him that he loved him, but he didn't want to talk to him. The following day, the feast of Saint Edward the Confessor, in the traditional martyrology, Father Alexandre celebrated Mass for the repose of the soul of his brother Edward, shot dead in Vienna during the 1848 riots, and prayed for Chopin's soul. He returned to the musician's bed and reminded him that that was his brother's name day, whom the musician loved so much. “Oh, let’s not talk about it,” lamented the dying man. “Dear friend”, continued the priest, “you must give me something for my brother’s name day”. “What should I give you?” “Your soul.” "I understand. Here is she; take it!” The musician held the crucifix given to him by Father Jelowicki; he professed the faith in Christ that his mother had taught him and received the sacraments that prepared him to meet the living God. His suffering lasted four days, but he resigned himself, had patience and sometimes even smiled. The priest wrote: He blessed his friends, and when-after a crisis that seemed to be his last-he found himself surrounded by the crowd that filled his room day and night, he asked me: “Why don't they pray?” Upon hearing these words, everyone knelt and even the Protestants joined in the litanies and prayers for the dying man. These were some of Chopin's last words: “Without you, my friend, I would have died like a pig!” He invoked the names of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, grabbed the crucifix, pressed it to his heart and said gratefully: “Now I find myself at the fountain of bliss!” In an apartment at number 12 Place Vendôme in Paris, where a jewelry store now operates, at two in the morning on Wednesday, October 17, 1849, Chopin, the rebel, died at the age of 39. “This is how Chopin died”, concluded Father Jelowicki, “and in truth his death was the most beautiful concert of his life”.

Poor classical composers 🥲
