not best BAND ever. best musician ever. any instrument, any type of music, whos your favorite musician? who could you listen to solo for hours on end?

i could listen to karl deson play sax, dizzy gillespie play trumpet, and victor wooten play base for hours on end.

johan sebastien bach. anyone who says different is a fool. we wouldnt have any sort of music as it exists today without bach. he was the originator of so many facets of music that its mind boggling. with that said, i dont really care for alot of his music, but i have to respect the roots, the originality, and the mad skills.

Fairly impossible to compare... there is a case for Bach, obviously, and CERTAINLY one for Beethoven... but, as has been said, when you hear a piece by Mozart, the silence that follows... that is still Mozart.

I personally like Mozart a lot better than Bach, but I still would give the nod to Bach, because so many of the wonderful composers worked off of him and looked up to him and learned from his music. He really did do an incredibly amount for the musical world. That being said, I think Beethoven is amazing because of his ability to write such wonderful music despite being deaf.

You kinda need categories... like the following. I realize hardly any of these amount to me going out on a limb.

Classical composer: Mozart
Classical player: Itzhak Perlman (well, probably someone in the 18th century, but I don't know their names, so...)
Modern Composer: Gershwin
Male Singer: Nat King Cole
Female Singer Ella Fitzgerald (there isn't even an ARGUMENT there)
Jazz player: Pete Fountain (suddenly i'm controversial... but everything he touches is gold.)
Rock Singer: Freddy Mercury
Rock Guitarist: Mark Knopfler

without bach there would have been no mozart. without mozart there would have been no beethoven. without beethoven, we would have had no chopin, no rachmaninov, no gershwin, no prokofiev. its really hard to say, but bach is the base that all those that followed worked from. that is why i go with him. mozart was genius undoubtedly, and prolific. beethoven was the next to revolutionize music, in the expansion of the symphony, both in size and in length, and in the breaking away from the abac form in composition. this set the stage for all the greats of the romantic era. chopin and liszt revolutionized what could be accomplished on a keyboard, while paganini and mendelssohn changed the way stings were utilized. not to mention richard wagner and giuseppe verdi who made opera the art of arts that it is today. skipping a few years we run across rachmaninov who changed keyboarding yet again, specifically in his concertos, but also in his etudes tableau. rachmaninov paved the way for the most influential musicians of the twentieth century in their genre. that being sergei prokofiev and igor stavinsky. both completley revolutionary. thats not even to mention the likes of maurice ravel, who took debussy's notion of impressionist composition and expanded on it. off in another wing of the classic tradition, infused with the jazz of his native harlem, george gershwin penned some of the most endearing pop tunes along with some more classical style works that more than hold their own. lastly, the great aaron copland certainly deserves mention. if ever there was a composer who wrote 'american music' it was copland. the appalachain suite is an absolute marvel, as are the billy the kid suite, and who doesnt enjoy fanfare for the common man?


i guess that sums up my breif history of music that i think is worthwhile.

^that song is beautiful.
And even Bach had his contemperaries. And do you really prefer Mozart over Beethoven just for listening purposes?

^When it's played correctly, yes... well, I suppose it depends on the piece and how it's interpreted. But I have no problem with Bach... I'm not sure if I agree with your reason for selecting him; it's a bit like saying Buddy Holly was the greatest rock guitarist ever because he influenced all those who came after. I still won't give him the #1 spot, and if Bach is going to win, he should win based on the merits of his music only, not on his influence on later musicians.

i would say its not so much that he influenced those who came after him, as much as it is that he laid the groundwork for eveyone that came after him. if you were to ask mozart or beethoven, or chopin, who was the greatest musicain to ever lay pen to the page, and they would all say bach. the only reason that i dont care so much for his music as much as i like chopin, is simply that bachs music can tend to sound mechanical. this is merely a product of the time that it was composed however. when you listen to a chopin peice, it was composed on a piano, for piano in most instances, and it therefore takes advantage of the pedals, and plays more with the dynamics, allowing for more expression and more emotion (you could say). bach composed on either a harpsichord or an organ. these insturments didnt have the ability to express dynamics, making his music sound almost mechanical. if you hear a bach partita played on a piano, instead of the insturment that it was composed on, it sounds alot better, in my opinion. my vote still goes to bach.

hendrix without a doubt. hes a god. he virtually reinvented the guitar solo. even today noone has come close to matching him, he didnt even use that many effects and still makes it sound like he used every effect in existance. the guy played with his fucking teeth, toes, and played upsied down. heard his version of star spangled banner? absolutely insane

No, not really specifically FOR the clarinet... not even really clarinet features, unless you play an arrangement that gives first Bb the original violin parts. Bach wrote far more 'clarinet music', really. But it hardly matters, I'm more of a Jazz player anyways, so I wouldn't be all that likely to be biased when it comes to classical music. Which makes no sense, because I'm worse at swing and I'm not set up for it; I have a Buffet RC with a midnarrow mouthpiece... although I guess you can play anything on any kind of horn.

When I said Pete Fountain, now, THAT was biased.

okay, okay. this thread has turned gay. just say what musician you could listen to solo for hours, and what instrument he or she plays.
