I collect both vintage and up-to-date biographies of composes, conductors and on Western Classical Music in general, and that, to me, is important because they provide both a contemporary picture of the era and the personality of the subject which may or may not be 'enhanced/influenced' due to public pressures, political stakes/correctness, and/or outright bias or bribery - but we get a very strong idea of the strengths and weaknesses which harbored inside and drove these men and women of yore. But as you may already know, and have read on Unraveling Musical Myths, new manuscripts are being found everyday, sometimes severely altering what we thought we knew of our ancestors’ time and his or her art itself. Take Mozart for example, his Köchel catalogue had to be rearranged on several occasions, and not just because of new manuscripts being found, but what new information we have gathered over the years. Changing the Köchel numbers of a piece can dramatically alter where Mozart was from both a creative and emotional aspect of his life during those times - and, as such, forms a temporary re-write of the man we thought we knew in a biographical sense. <br /><br />Essentially, you require a mix of the old and the new. Good luck! And do stay posted. I am pretty busy with education and other external obligations but should have a break coming soon. Just posted a new Trivia Installment today. Hope you enjoy it! <br /><br />N.B. if you are looking for magazines or radio, I highly suggest WQXR (which you can listen to live by scrolling down my side panel and selecting the 'listen live' button) - they often discuss the piece being played and the life of the composer when he or she put it into production. They also have a website which is also linked on my blog. <br /><br />Last but certainly not least is one of my fave go-to's: <a href="http://www.limelightmagazine.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Limelight</a>: Australia's Classical Music & Art Magazine. They have so much fun with the music they choose to cover. Always an informative, very fun read. <br /><br />Enjoy! <br /><br />-Rose.Classical Music: Mayhem, Music & Myths (and Book Reviews) by Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891905077524079934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341244516585355173.post-4046461561554556642017-11-26T08:18:16.029-05:002017-11-26T08:18:16.029-05:00Well, a lovely hello to you as well, Anonymous!
...Well, a lovely hello to you as well, Anonymous! <br /><br />Welcome to my blog and I am thrilled to read that you enjoy my content. <br /><br />*NOTE* I am re-posting this reply as I typed it whilst on the train and hadn't realized I had made so many typos. Apparently, blogger now also limits the amount of characters per comment so unlike my original reply, I will have to split this into two responses so I can make sure you get all of the information you need. :)<br /><br />To answer your question, it depends on the vibe you are looking for: <br /><br /><a href="http://slippedisc.com/" rel="nofollow">Slippeddisc</a> is a fantastic 'insider' site that quickly picks up the latest scoop in the industry. It is led by the much-respected critic and author Norman Lebrecht and is run as more of a breaking news format, although one can also contribute in forums. Some pretty heavy hitters in the industry occasionally drop in on conversations, which is always a delight. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.cmuse.org/" rel="nofollow">CMUSE</a> is a little more laid back, while providing education, news and some fun along the way. Definitely check them out. <br /><br />I would try to steer clear of mass quiz sites and/or trivia sites that often carry rumor, false information and pass on many debunked legends and myths. They are still fun to peruse but if you are looking for serious study, they may not be your best bet. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.classicfm.com/" rel="nofollow">ClassicFM</a> is another site which draws heavily on Slipped disc as most do, but are unique in that they utilize comedy, unique videos and even have an educational portion to the site that is also informative yet highly entertaining. <br /><br />A great blog you might want to check out is historian and Musicologist <a href="http://michaelorenz.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Michael Lorenz'</a> blog. He has an uncanny knack for discovering previously unheard of / seemingly lost music and artifacts considered destroyed or otherwise lost in the annals of time. He has been known to piece together/discover works that for centuries have baffled music historians. From what I read in his profile, he is located in Austria - perfect for accessing archives. You will not want to miss his blog. <br /><br />You may also use (with caution) sites like Mental-Floss, which mostly get it right but usually include inaccurate / long-since debunked tidbits. <br /><br />/end of part IClassical Music: Mayhem, Music & Myths (and Book Reviews) by Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891905077524079934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341244516585355173.post-57664184339113031692017-11-23T11:05:35.284-05:002017-11-23T11:05:35.284-05:00Thank you that is very kind of you!
