tag yourself as movements in classical music

wedidthetimewarpagain:

Medieval: often ignored, shy, secretly gay, likes to stay in the same place all the time, dreams of being a monk

Renaissance: loves to dance, likes fancy things (but not too fancy), nobody else could pick them out in a crowd but everyone is friendly to them

Baroque: very particular about everything, draws immensely detailed doodles, gets super side-tracked on pointless tangents, everyone’s distracted dad friend

Classical: very neat bedroom, makes bad puns constantly, has a 9-5 job, everyone’s helpful but slightly exasperated mom friend

Romantic: can never make up their mind about anything, gets shivers when they go to art museums, cries a lot (and you’ll know about it), sad bisexual ™

Impressionist: super gay, loves music that isn’t in their native language, cries easily, just wants to have a good time

Early Modernist: just like Romantic but also does drugs and is afraid of but also super interested in sex

Serialist: angry at everything, “you don’t understand my torment”, probably a communist

Neoclassical: wants to be just like classical but has never gone to sleep before 1AM, keeps a very neat bedroom except for a single massive pile of clothes in the closet they refuse to acknowledge, occasionally steals Renaissance’s hoodies

Total Serialist: 500% angrier than serialist and proud of it, has never had fun, has probably killed someone

Academic Avant-Garde: has never done the same thing twice, trusts nobody else, has an on-again-off-again relationship with total serialism

Minimalism: loves technology, still wears Google Glass and the Apple Watch, meditates for fun, trying to learn Hindi (and horribly failing), often incomprehensible to everyone else but is actually super friendly

Polystylism: originator of the term “pastel grunge”, wears immensely clashing outfits, steals everyone’s looks, memes

Me: why am I still single I don’t wanna be alone

Also me: *experiences a deeper connection with Beethoven’s piano concertos than with most people"

a compilation of some of my favourite composer quotes:

doing-it-for-debussy:

“Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.”  - Igor Stravinsky

“I am sure my music has a taste of codfish in it.” - Edvard Grieg 

“Never look at the trombones. It only encourages them.” - Richard Strauss

“He’d be better off shovelling snow than scribbling on manuscript paper.” - Richard Strauss on Schoenberg

“I liked your opera. I think I will set it to music.” - Ludvig van Beethoven

“I have written a chorale both sober and suitable. In it I have put everything I know about boredom. I dedicate this to those who do not like me.” - Erik Satie

“ Mr. Wagner has beautiful moments but bad quarters of an hour.” - Gioacchino Rossini

“What a good thing this isn’t music.” - Gioacchino Rossini on Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique 

“Oh how wonderful, really wonderful opera would be if there were no singers!” - Gioacchino Rossini

“In opera there is always too much singing.” - Claude Debussy

“Bring me coffee before I turn into a goat!” - Johann Sebastian Bach

“Listening to the 5th Symphony of Ralph Vaughan Williams is like staring at a cow for 45 minutes.” - Aaron Copland 

“The audience expected something big, something colossal, but they were served instead with some agitated water in a saucer.” - Louis Schnieder on Debussy’s La Mer

“He gives me the impression of being a spoilt child.” - Clara Schumann on Liszt 

“What a giftless bastard!” - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky on Brahms

“Handel is only fourth rate. He is not even interesting.” - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

“Bach on the wrong notes” -  Sergei Prokofiev on Stravinsky 

And, saving the best for last…

“Lick my ass up and down” -Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 

Feel free to add more! (Also please don’t think that I agree with all of these, I am a huge fan of Symphonie Fantastique and La Mer!!)
