What's This Song?

[GafferGames]

oh I'm very familiar with almost everything he's done. I may not have dug into the history of classical music or shown THAT kind of interest, but I have devoured tons and tons of music by the big 3 I loved so much. My favorite Beethoven piece, I can never figure out how the names work. It's like Piano concerto 5 but it's like a movement within that concerto and I'm not sure what it's really called but it starts with a huge orchestra hit BOOOOOM and then the piano starts doing these fast complex walks up and down the keys until WHAM the orchestra hits again, and it does it for like 2 minutes and then the song begins. Not sure if you know what I'm talking about but.. wait.. better idea, I'll just find it and link it lol

I have heard this probably well over 100 times and can hum along to every part hehehe

That's an amazing one, I love that so much! Nothing will ever beat Moonlight Sonata for me though, its just the most beautiful thing, its made for lying under the stars thinking haha!

I'd probably appreciate moonlight more if it wasn't his go to piece. It's like even people who aren't familiar with beehtoven when you say his name are like "The moonlight sonata guy?" Which probably is why I don't like it as much I've heard it too much and it's associated too much as his definitive work.[DOUBLEPOST=1403564154,1403563784][/DOUBLEPOST]Actually interesting enough, beehtoven is an influence on my rock music. My sound doesn't sound classical or anything, but I started noticing the degree to which he would take his hook and keep brilliantly coming back around to it but with more power each time. Beehtoven's songs are usually like, the ultimate drilling in your head of a certain mode or melody but each time it hits you even harder. And I started trying to find ways to do that in my music, rather than just having a verse and then coming back to a normal chorus and then having a bridge and normal chorus out I started going "every time we come back to that chorus I'm gonna add something that makes it even more unforgettable like beehtoven does"

Crazy how such unrelated genres can still effect each other.

Really? I've only ever known people know him either from Ode To Joy of the film with the dog
I know exactly what you mean, its like a "chorus", but every time it becomes more powerful!

Yea you don't meet alot of true classical fans. Many people can appreciate it, but not alot of people spend hours just lying on their bedroom floor listening to it and memorizing every note. And yeah that's what amazes me about him, also the WAYS he'll get back to the chorus are genius. hehehe nice to meet someone else who really digs classical music.

I listened to Classic FM so much when I was about 6, then I stopped for ages, and in the last year its all just came back to me haha! On iTunes there's 100 Beethoven Movements for £4.99
