I think it's another game of match three. Take away Bruckner, add Mendelssohn and Chopin. (Dig that "by far," Val).val wrote:Brahms, in the first place and by far.
Then, Schumann, Bruckner, Wagner.
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

Re: Composers b. 1803-1845 listening frequency
Interesting that the two double-digit composers are Brahms and Dvorak and Chopin and Schumann follow as the next most listened-to composers. It's not surprising about Brahms and Dvorak, however. Also, not a single composer shown hereon at this time, 3:31 p.m. September 8th, has a zero [0].

Re: Composers b. 1803-1845 listening frequency
I am quite surprised that Dvorak is that popular. It is also strange that Mussorgsky is ahead of Wagner and Verdi. I was pleased to see Faure doing so well, since he is one of the five I voted for. I have only become an admirer of Faure relatively late in life.

Very tough for me to narrow it down to five from this stellar group. My choices were: Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Tchaikovsky and Dvorak.karlhenning wrote:Fairly easy for me, actually: Berlioz, Chopin, Dvořák, Saint-Saëns & Tchaikovsky.

Re: Composers b. 1803-1845 listening frequency
This is no doubt because the criteria are frequency of listening, rather than judgment on their greatness. Opera, especially the Wagnerian kind, requires a greater devotion of time than most people have on a regular basis.lmpower wrote: It is also strange that Mussorgsky is ahead of Wagner and Verdi.

Re: Composers b. 1803-1845 listening frequency
Well, just for instance, I love Wagner, but how often do I have the 90 to 120 minutes it takes to listen to an act of Parsifal? Almost never. And I know if I start the 3rd act, I'm not going to be able to tear myself away until the last choir boy in the dome of the Montsalvat Temple has sung his piece and the dove has come down from the heavens. So I'm more likely to listen to Mussorgsky's Pictures. I can hardly help it, it's always on the radio.jbuck919 wrote:You mean there are people for whom the two don't line up?diegobueno wrote:This is no doubt because the criteria are frequency of listening, rather than judgment on their greatness.lmpower wrote: It is also strange that Mussorgsky is ahead of Wagner and Verdi.

Well, I certainly hope you're right, Mark.

Re: Composers b. 1803-1845 listening frequency
tbh Karl, it was Schumann or Tchaikovsky at No 5... but I find my reaction to the latter to be rather strange these days... of choice, I hardly ever listen to him, but when I do put something of his on, I always enjoy it... go figure..karlhenning wrote:Well, Schumann has been my snooze-me-to-dreamland music these past few evenings.

May I just say Jared that my 'relationship' with Tchaikovsky seems very similar to yours: I rarely feel the urge to play his works but when I actually do I am often thrilled by themJared wrote:tbh Karl, it was Schumann or Tchaikovsky at No 5... but I find my reaction to the latter to be rather strange these days... of choice, I hardly ever listen to him, but when I do put something of his on, I always enjoy it... go figure..karlhenning wrote:Well, Schumann has been my snooze-me-to-dreamland music these past few evenings.

Re: Composers b. 1803-1845 listening frequency
From this list...the master Gabriel Fauré (Requiem, Chamber Music, Piano Music (esp. Late Pno Nocturnes!), Profound Late Songs) & Richard Wagner (Overtures & Preludes) have gotten the most time. Grieg (Lyric Pieces, wonderful little evocative creations). Brahms (Piano Ballades, Piano w/ mixed strings chamber wrks, Clarinet Quintet). Mussorgsky (Pictures, both piano & orchestral versions).
