Favourite Chamber works?

[bhodges]

In-depth analysis is not a prerequisite for posting.  The beauty of a forum like this--with casual, informal communication, occasionally mixed with more formal analyses or reviews--is that posters can write however they see fit.  Sometimes a list is enough, by its very nature.  But if someone feels compelled to write more, that's fine.  Or one can ignore the entire thing.  There are many sections of the board that I either consciously ignore, and others that I overlook, simply because there's so much going on it's impossible to keep track of all the hundreds of discussions here.

But Rob, the forum's creator, intended this to be a place friendly to newcomers, especially those new to classical music.  So one doesn't need any musicological training to be welcomed here.

Maybe, for all the music peons such as myself, we should just be relegated to posting into the "Classical Music for Beginners" sub-forum, until you can pass some advanced musicology exam quiz.

I am not amused by the deliberate misreading of my post, nor the mocking.  I gave a legitimate reason for wanting to know why the OP wants to know our favorite works, and if you two have a problem with me I suggest you take it elsewhere.

Sometimes I just wish posters could post something like 'Favorite symphonies', or whatever it may be, and it can just be as simple as that?

David, sorry, I didn't intend any mocking.  Just felt it was an opportunity to restate some of Rob's points in starting the forum.  No problem with you in the least.

Thank you Bruce.   I might have started as a good grief post, but on second post on this thread and after I did actually want to know what the purpose is.  It could be just a list for list sake, but if it's help a newbie would everyone still want to say the same things?  If I made a list with Carter, Bartok, Ligeti and Beethoven I would change it mighty fast if that's what the real intention of the list is.

But . . . you'd just change Beethoven, right?

Yeah I'd change it to Schnittke.
