Recommend me all the /litmu/ books you can think of, anons. Music theory, too is well-received here.
/litmu/ Books
Chase Murphy
William Campbell
I liked Kierkegaards shilling for Don Giovanni in Either-Or
John Bell
the melancholy of resistance
Aiden King
THE UNCONSOLED
Joseph Rodriguez
Dr faustus by Mann
Evan Campbell
really, user? where did you come with that idea?
Brody Torres
Have you read it? It's about a composer.
In preparation for the work, Mann studied musicology and biographies of major composers including Mozart, Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, Hugo Wolf, Franz Schreker and Alban Berg. He communicated with living composers, including Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg and Hanns Eisler. In Chapter XXII Leverkühn develops the twelve-tone technique or row system, which was actually invented by Arnold Schoenberg.
Evan Stewart
the joke is that's the book in the op
Owen Hill
Never mind... I didn't see the picture...
Ryan Edwards
Concrete by Bernhard
Xavier Campbell
Does Houellebecq's album count as litmu? It's actually pretty lit.
Ryder Harris
what album :O?
Aaron Edwards
Présence Humaine
Hunter Murphy
yes user, i have read it already, thanks for the recommendation
at least that seems like a good pretext to bump
Thomas Turner
Der Kontrabaß by Patrick Süskind.
(The Double Bass)
Carter Thomas
OP here, I just searched for Adorno's compositions. Is it only me or it really sounds like crap?
youtube.com
Sebastian Allen
sounds like a bad imitation of Berg
Sebastian Russell
The Loser by Bernhard.
Adam Evans
Is there a book teaching how to play guitar ?
Angel Phillips
Berlioz memoirs, guy was hilarious
Ravel by Jean Echenoz is highly underrated imo
Kevin Fisher
But Beautiful by Geoff Dyer
Fictionalised vignettes of various important figures in bebop. Understanding the players and their lives really helps you to appreciate jazz more imo also Mr Dyer is a pretty nice writer.
Jaxson Edwards
depends what you want to play. If you want to be able to read music, pick up a level 1 method book.
For ROCK N ROLL or whatever, I know plenty of people who play in bands who can't read music and just learned by ear and using tabs
William Flores
This is good if you like ancient philosophy and its relation to music.
Cooper Brown
he's just a very average composer. Quartet does a good job of giving it some life but even if you don't care for serialism you can tell a difference immediately comparing him to schoenberg
Leo Sanders
Anyone know any good biographies?
Benjamin Kelly
This, but some jazz biography.
Jackson Garcia
>Nica's Dream: The Life and Legend of the (((Jazz Baroness)))
en.wikipedia.org
Hunter Brown
The pianist from Elfriede Jelinek.
Julian Taylor
I've heard Miles' autobiography is an amusing read.
Juan Diaz
Miles' book is a good read. You can tell it was dictated. Mostly great stories and anecdotes, and his insights into why he plays the way he does are pretty valuable.
Tyler Wood
I'll see that one then, thanks for responding
Dominic Kelly
Cortázar - El Perseguidor
Carter Bell
OP here, thank you just so much for all of these! Will any kind user do a /litmu/ chart with them?
Jacob Ortiz
Hoffmann's Cremona Violin, The Fermata, Signor Formica, and The Life And Opinions Of the Tomcatt Murr.
Christopher Rivera
You all, thanks for the recommendations.
Gavin Sanchez
The Rest is Noise by Alex Ross
Jackson Wood
No.
Thomas Nelson
Most stuff by Jelinek, that's what they gave her a Nobel for afgter all
Ryan Bailey
antidote to 19th century speculations and romantic fatalism: partimento research by gjerdingen or sanguinetti
part musicology, part theory
Oliver Green
There are but I would recommend justinguitar highly over any of them (and a teacher too, even if only for a few lessons). There's probably some fantastic guitar books out there but a lot of them are so dated and useless.
Brayden Myers
You might want to check the Guitar/Bass threads on /mu.
Ryder Foster
pic related is a recent favorite
Someone mentioned Berlioz. He was a god-tier writer so get the collections of his music critic work for sure.
Lydian Chromatic Concept is mandatory if you're into Miles and that whole generation of guys.
Persichetti's Twentieth Century Harmony was good, and is a standard so it might be a decent place to start if you're new to theory books.
Gonna look through Schoenberg's books next and see if there's anything interesting there.
The Beatles as Musicians is an excellent musicological breakdown of their entire discography, with no biographical or "rock journalist" fluff. Any more books like that you guys could recommend would be great.
Liam Hill
Every Thomas Bernhard book
Brody Cooper
>But a printer's error causes his story to be accidentally mixed and spliced with a book about the composer Johannes Kreisler. As the two versions break off and alternate at dramatic moments, two wildly different characters emerge from the confusion
Wow that sounds really experimental for 1820.
Luke Adams
just a variation of epistolary novel form, which was getting oldfashioned by then.
Ryan Lee
How do I into music theory, guyz?
Connor Miller
I read 2 pages of this and felt like a brainlet. I was just checking it though, I will give it another chance soon
Wyatt Butler
