Mahlerian

I had fun being Mahleristani briefly;  but reckoned that with all the newbies, that lark (even a brief lark) might be unnecessarily confusing.

Well, we wish the best to all expatriates as well.
"l do not consider my music as atonal, but rather as non-tonal. I feel the unity of all keys. Atonal music by modern composers admits of no key at all, no feeling of any definite center." - Arnold Schoenberg

Welcome aboard, Mahlerian! I remember you from the 'other' forum. I hope you enjoy your time here and never return to that dreadful 'other' forum. You and I have very similar tastes, so I'll be reading your posts with great anticipation.

The 'other forum' isn't dreadful, but its owner may be.
Salud e dinero... Hah! So that's what is missing.

The moderators and owner(s) are the ones who set the tone for everything. If they make it an unpleasant experience, then it's a dreadful place to visit. The members are fine, but they're not in control and certainly don't dictate how the general atmosphere of a forum will come across.

'evening, Mahlerian. Good to see you in action again.

Everyone else has said hello, so I thought I would too.

Hello.

I have been trying to keep track of the activity in the other forum.  Based on the analysis I have done so far it seems that there has been a significant decrease in discussions concerning post 19th century music.  If one excludes the more popular tonalists like Rachmaninoff, Sibelius or Shostakovich the decline is very dramatic.   

Mahlerian started a great thread called "I Am no a Modernist".  Over in the other forum one can vote if they liked a particular post.  Mahlerian opening post received the most likes of any that I have ever seen, over sixty.  Out of curiosity I checked on the status of the members who voted support for the post.  About 25% are no longer active.
