my favourite music
By: Leslie Date: February 27, 2024, 11:23 am

When as a teenager I first heard Tchaikovsky's piano concerto in
B flat minor, I could not get enough of it. I thought it was the
most beautiful music I had ever heard - I still think it is
great.

Yes, it's probably the most famous and best-loved of all the
romantic piano concertos, not least for that memorable opening
passage. Tchaikowsky composed three piano concertos, all good,
but the First is clearly the popular favourite.
Another very popular 19th-century romantic piano concerto is
that of the Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg, here in a version
by Arthur Rubinstein (with Andre Previn conducting.)

I never fail to love Prokofiev's 'Dance of the Nights' from
Romeo and Juliet.

I am not in the least bit musical, but when my husband and I
were watching the programme, "D-Day 80" on BBC 1 this morning,
which also featured many of the songs from those days, I just
has to sit and listen to them, as they bought back so many
memories from my postwar childhood.

I don’t expect anyone to relate or like this, but my youngest
has long been interested in a new genre of music called Math
Rock. The first I heard of it was actually music he was writing
and performing with a friend. He played guitar and his friend
played drums. One local college aired them once on their radio
station and called it Math Rock. It was my first hearing the
term.
To me, if I listen closely, I hear a bit of Chicago—just a bit,
but I like the pieces that include brass.
This piece is by Cuzco called Sober Island:

My favourite music is classical, all the instrumental genres -
symphonies, concertos, solo piano works (I have over 200 CD's of
these alone), etc. but not opera or any other vocal music. I
also like jazz, especially that of the 1940's and 1950's with
several hundred CD's.

I do like some opera. Similar to Classical, and for me certain
Math Rock pieces, listening to it several times seems to wake up
a deep appreciation.
With the Math Rock genre, I’m curious to see if this will end up
a significant shift in music similar to how jazz and blues
became. It definitely messes with time signatures in a much more
unique way than jazz did.
(With some selections, I will think I can’t wait to see film
makers utilize this in their films.)

I'd say it's unlikely it could become a major genre like jazz,
which has been a dominant musical genre for over a century with
countless musicians, a variety of forms within the genre and
many millions of fans. Also, many jazz musicians, such as John
Coltrane, have actually messed with time signatures. As for
films, it's difficult to imagine what kind of film could employ
such a limited musical form, except perhaps 'indie' films. I'm
afraid I really don't see it catching on with a wide public. It
may be called Math Rock but it just doesn't add up for me... :D
