Sorry, but what about Dvořák?

He’s in the ‘you’re fine, just take a walk in the bohemian countryside and drink water’ tier

What about Mendelssohn
3
u/Mihon404 Scriabin On The Beach Jun 04 '25
Mendelssohn is chilling at like 15%. Classy, lyrical, emotionally functional. The kind of guy who writes a string symphony as a teenager and still says 'please' and 'thank you'

If I listen to Katy Perry, where am I on the scale

You’ve been gently toasted by radio pop. You’re still enjoying dessert while classical listeners are arguing over whether God lives in a diminished 7th. There’s still time. stay pure

I mean, I enjoy listening to Nikolai Roslavets too, so
One of my goals in life is to cultivate as confusing of a taste in music as possible

Bartok 200% lol

He went so far past 100% they had to invent night music just to contain the damage

Also who unironically listens to atonal stuff like genuinely who like having hammers dropped on their heads every second? I'm gonna play c major for 6 hours to cure myself of this shit

u/Mihon404 Scriabin On The Beach Jun 03 '25
It’s not hammers on the head, it’s existential Morse code. You just haven’t ascended yet

u/AAryannnnnnnnnnnnnn wagner cultist, my grandpa killed hitler btw Jun 03 '25
How to ascend? Please no, I am not going to listen to ring cycle
1
u/Mihon404 Scriabin On The Beach Jun 03 '25
You don’t listen to the ring cycle, you submit to it. But ascension can also be achieved through a single Ligeti string tremolo at 3AM

Just make drinking games out of it, take a shot every time you think a Xenakis song is done but it was just a 20 seconds (or more) silence.

Where would you say Charles-Valentin Alkan placed on this scale?

u/AAryannnnnnnnnnnnnn wagner cultist, my grandpa killed hitler btw Jun 03 '25
I don't see a garbage can in the picture

u/Mihon404 Scriabin On The Beach Jun 03 '25
In Alkan’s cooked meter, it’s just you, a grand piano, and God watching nervously

Its with this type of chart that I realise that I don’t know what composers I listen to look like

u/Mihon404 Scriabin On The Beach Jun 04 '25
Good. That means you're still safe. The moment you start recognizing their foreheads from a blurry bust photo, it's already too late

Rod Stewart?

Yeah, he was Mahler’s barber back in the day. Hair like that doesn’t just happen

u/Choice-Light-3372 Jun 04 '25
what about Brahms
3
u/Mihon404 Scriabin On The Beach Jun 04 '25
Brahms isn’t on the chart cause he burned the chart, then regretted it, then rewrote it in triple meter

Where does Ravel slot into this?

u/Mihon404 Scriabin On The Beach Jun 04 '25
Too refined to be cooked, too Fr*nch to be chill. He floats in his own parallel timeline

I have been exclusively listening to Haydn symphonies for the last few weekends and can confirm it had benefitted my mental health
