Thank you for listening. Yes, it is but I did not want to create another thread for it.

 

One of the best tracks I've heard in my whole life, posted it before in another thread:

 

As I have gotten older I can truly say I admire Mozart. He reminds me of Eddie Van Halen on piano on some songs. Others are good as far as classical music goes, but to me he just stands out.

 

For those of us who are interested in classical music and philosophy. An amazing documentary!

Can anybody remind me the name of this composition? I forgot it, but tried to play the motif, so it obviously has mistakes.

It's probably one of romantic era piano concertos. Not Rachmaninov or Scriabin though...

 

Vivaldi f4ever

 

Ok, here you go:

N.B. GPT chat gave me this 'explanation':
Antonio Vivaldi did not compose the oratorio "Juditha Triumphans." This oratorio was actually composed by Antonio Vivaldi's contemporary, Venetian composer Baldassare Galuppi. "Juditha Triumphans" was composed in 1716. Vivaldi is more famous for his numerous instrumental compositions and operas, such as "The Four Seasons" and "The Red Priest," rather than oratorios.
[Opera 'The Red Priest' does not exist. Vivaldi came to be known il prete rosso (“The Red Priest”) for two reasons: he had bright red hair and was trained as a Catholic priest. This much about the Internet Age contrivances.]

IQ by itself is a very doubtable concept... There are many different opinions, including one saying that as many good things on our planet, IQ-test was developed for the needs of US army, so they can sort people specifically well suited for army service. In other words, list the traits needed for army (diligence, obedience, endurance) and you will get your high IQ scoring pupil.

Personally me, when I was drafted into the army, skipped the IQ test. I tried to think on it for the first 10 minutes, solved first page and then realised this is all just dull nonsense. So I quickly put random answers and finished second. And do I care about results, LOL.

It just seems brutal to me that someone thinks they can measure the intelligence "objectively". I'm not gonna take part in this pure madness, LMFAO

Since 30s when the cinema got sound, classical music moved there...
and that was good: many listeners got access to such music...even not its lovers...
My personal preferences for 30-40s movie scores are Casablanca, Captain Blood, The Prince and the Pauper.
This is a modern performance of exerpt from Casablanca. I like how Max Steiner implemented
Marseillaise into the score:

 

...and not only movies, but also videogames!

 

Besides movies OSTracks. I think I've listened three times more classical music since I got into Nightwish. Of course, it's also metal but some songs have incredible passages of predominant orchestra and amazing choirs. It's the shit:

 

Can we please stop resurrecting Foster threads.

 

But I guess, you can not avoid to do it subjectively. You would surely wreck your life if you couldn't tell who's stupid and who's not. And then you would also think that your judgement is objective, or else it would be useless to you.

 

This work deserves careful listening.
