late one night a father is riding home with his child. The father asks why the child is scared and the child says he sees the erlkonig. The father assures his son it is just a wisp of fog. The erlkonig tells the boy to come with him so they can play games, and the boy grows more frightened each time this happens. finally the erlkonig says "if you won't come willingly I'll TAKE you". the child screams that he has been attacked and by the time the father gets to the farm the child is dead.

Erlkonig = Pedobear

Oh and here it is on violin. Hilary Hahn is a bit of a machine..

Anyone like Debussy?

YouTube - Reverie - Claude Debussy

It's all a bit bittersweet. He probably took himself a bit seriously. I do like Debussy though.

This thread is a winner

YouTube - Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde: Mov. 2

i'm been playing classical music on my ipod endlessly today.. love this thread..

This is the best piece of music ever written by an old, dead fucker classical composer.

Lovely lovely beethoven at his best.

Im getting right back into playing,
onto 3 octaves again on Flute, awesome buzz after practise, its like pure breath meditation-

who plays an instrument? interested in sharing learning tips and all that?

I was part of this performance of Mahler 6 last Wednesday. It's pretty long as a whole symphony but the slow movement is very beautiful - it starts 29 mins in.
