Is your favorite composer Beethoven?

[Opus106]

Mahler can be appreciated in any thread! 

Wait till you invite that fellow into Bach's Bungalow...

[madaboutmahler]

Ahhh, don't strike through Wagner's name, or you will receive a hammering!

Hammering only applies to Mahler, and Berg!

hmmm... I shall prevent myself from looking at that thread...  sounds like I'd be bringing out the hammer too often if I joined!

You are obviously not familiar with Wagner's Siegfried

There's no hammer in Siegfried?! Is there?

No commong hammer... Sledge Hammer!

Well, maybe its use in Siegfried is not the same Mahler did in his symphonies, but the stroke of the hammer is quite present in the 1st act.

Yes, Sledge Hammer.

Ah, I see...

At last, I edited it so everyone can now vote for Ubloobideega as their favorite composer. Let the votes flow in! 

Dammit Greg - I go away for a bit and come back to find that you've gone and done this. Don't you realise that you've invalidated all posts in this thread up to that point? All those carefully composed and rationally argued responses are reduced to nought by that single action. The superhighway of intelligent human progress has been brought to a juddering halt in a cataclysmic pile-up of forced after-the-fact category errors. It's all very upsetting, and furthermore I have good reason to believe that the King of France is not pleased, and is almost certain to vent his anger unfairly on his hairdresser.

And yes, we still have no bananas.

[ibanezmonster]

Alright, banana was added.
The King of France can go cry in a corner. While eating a banana. 

[Karl Henning]

A banana. But, whose?

[ibanezmonster]

A banana. But, whose?

Ubloobideega's, of course!

[Elgarian]

It's no good - it's too late now. And to think that we all started with such high hopes of resolving the issue once and for all. (En particulier, Le Roi de France et son coiffeur.)

[ibanezmonster]

All of the posts in this thread can go eat a banana. Except for my posts.

They've already eaten?

<----someone say banana?

I love Berg's music, though there are a few works I'm not too fond of like the Chamber Concerto. For Berg, give me Lulu Suite, the Violin Concerto, Seven Early Songs, Altenberg-Lieder, Wozzeck, and the Three Pieces For Orchestra.

I love all those works you mention as your favourites of his. My absolute favourite Berg piece would probably be the Three Pieces for Orchestra, probably because of the Mahlerian hammer... Do not know the Chamber Concerto that well, will have a listen to that soon and will let you know what I think!

What recording of Chamber Concerto have you heard, John?
