pixelatedboat aka “mr bluesky” @pixelatedboat.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Embarrassing for modern classical composers that none of them are considered as good as a guy who died in the 1700s. Like being an automotive engineer and getting smoked by the designer of Fred Flintstone’s car 802466191
Ian @laughingcricket.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Not really surprising. I've got to be Rembrandt+some idiot like Jeff Koons or Damien Hirst, just to be able to break even as an artist. We teach most people that the arts happened, but not that arts are still happening. We need to push these dusty arts historians in to the modern world. 000

someguypdx.bsky.social @someguypdx.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Your tweets are normally bangers but this better not be about Mozart and his classical era pop slop.

unsubsam.bsky.social @unsubsam.bsky.social · 17/02/2025I don't think it's embarrassing. Bach or Beethoven would be timeless had they lived in any age. Stravinsky, webern , Hindemith , Schonberg are great composers. 081
4track all-star @jayreynoldssax.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Yeah two+ centuries of composition and no one sees fit to just add a sixth species of counterpoint? Get a life losers. 010

Nondescript Man @oldcrank.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Classical was once contemporary, so those composers were the hit makers. I’ve seen concerts from new composers of classical music, they are fantastic, just not popular. My favorite band is 56 yrs old btw, I don’t like any new bands anywhere near as much, and by new I mean this decade, or last 😂 010
ubermitch.bsky.social @ubermitch.bsky.social · 16/02/2025yeah, but see, the modern equivalents of 1700s composers instead go on to make "Summer Girls" by LFO 010
Dolly Madison @dollymad1812.bsky.social · 17/02/2025I love the composer for a lot of the HBO ‘Succession’ music, Nicholas Britell. Is that not classical enough? He’s fantastic. 150
A Musician’s Musings @veromakesmusic.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Please tell me you are not referring to Mozart, because he was definitely NOT the best composer to die in the 1700s (Bach was, hands down). There are plenty of modern classical composers that are on par or better than 1700s composers, aside from Bach. 000

Mark Lamourine (he/him) defiantly @markllama.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Given the limited space of 8 tone themes on an isotonic scale, the idea that the best stuff was produced early makes sense. All modern music fits into well known patterns. Nothing wrong with that, its the nature of the medium and people are still doing wonderful things with it. 010

Mr. C @snowflakecanada.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Modern Classical is an Oxymoron. I don't know how may Modern Classical pieces that were considered so Avant-garde and praised, that were absolutely an assault on the ears. Atonal... experimental scales... The real Modern Classical has been in Movie Scores, 20th Century Dance halls and Jazz clubs. 150
wantshoes7.bsky.social @wantshoes7.bsky.social · 17/02/2025A lot of opportunities were lost with the gutting of music education. Mr. Holland's Opus was a good example of showing the connective tissue between classical and modern music. 020
Lino @linociaralli.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Counterpoint: John Williams Artists are rarely ever appreciated in their own time. The true test is to endure and transcend generations. 0322
Ungovernable Swan @lobleytea.northsky.social · 17/02/2025It’s not that no modern composer is that good, it’s that 18th century composers were the rock stars of their day. It’s far more appropriate to compare them to The Rolling Stones or The Beatles than even a modern film composer. We might have another Mozart in our midst but who would care or know? 010

12Pints @twbpwwaad.bsky.social · 17/02/2025This is a failing of the audience and not the artist. There is so much more and different music today and , I assume , some people may believe erroneously that "real" classical music can only come from the past and any who produce it today are simply pretenders or Larpers. 020
Philip Seaton @composer-pseaton.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Lol! But this says more about the media chatter surrounding classical music and the industry's promotion of certain people/styles than the abilities of modern composers per se ... 0100
Kavitha Rajagopalan @kxraja.bsky.social · 17/02/2025By whom? There are many extremely influential and brilliant 20th / 21st c composers, just a lot of classical stations just play the hits and crowd pleasers and a lot of people don’t take the time to discover newer music. 050

Hobbit Korkie @korkie.bsky.social · 17/02/2025There's a problem with the definition of Modern Classical. Is it New Music which is sonic and pointal? Or could soundtrack composers be included like Williams, Shore, or Creary. Could New Age be considered? George Winston was a helluva composer. And what about Jazz masters? 000
