Johann Sebastian Bach's (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) handwritten personal copy of his Mass in B minor held by the Berlin State Library and added to UNESCO's Memory of the World Register.

The Mass in B minor (completed in 1749) is widely regarded as one of the supreme achievements of classical music.

FAVORITE CLASSICAL MUSIC

It has been 7 years since I published a list on this blog – that of my favorite non-fiction, a list I do keep updated btw. Today I’ve finally mustered the courage to make my long overdue list of favorite Western classical music. Somewhere in the future, you still owe me a list of favorite metal albums, and a list of favorite philosophy books. I’ve been listening to classical music for over 30…

With the trembling onset of the coda, I had moved to the edge of my seat. I was in my preferred location—center balcony. As it happened, one of the offenders was seated directly in front of me. She held her phone high, blocking my field of vision with her bright miniature screen. The ovation was deafening, and that’s when a shouting match between us began. Reflecting on this experience, I discover that her behavior was less discourteous than it was selfish. As far as she was concerned, she was the only listener who mattered. The world of cellphones is both cause and effect of what some call “hyper-individualism.” I cannot think of a purer example than the woman who filmed Bruckner’s coda to take home as a memento. When I posted my experience on my blog, the most interesting responses came from readers in London and Berlin. They said that an intrusion of this kind—not inadvertently failing to turn a cellphone off, but consciously flaunting it—was “unthinkable” in a British or German concert hall. And that is something to think about. It’s the same strain of personal entitlement that said “no” to Covid mask mandates. Its American lineage is potent.

Joseph Horowitz, Shostakovich in South Dakota, The American Scholar (7 September 2023)

Lovers of the performing arts have several great performances to enjoy this weekend in the South Bay, all featuring performers with connections to Santa Clara. Santa Clara resident and composer Benjamin Belew Sakagch Akeala likes to describe his compositional style as “neo-classical”— meaning that he composes in Western classical musical forms and works with the familiar Western musical palette of melody and harmony.

you know how the act of creating music can seduce you? i can't explain it very much except for this moment around 3:39-3:45 when the cellist, after playing a bar of music, inclines their head just ever so slightly to hear the horn's part, and then shuts their eyes. Like. It's so erotic it's bordering indecent. It's exactly how you feel when you see the Taylor series for e^x written down for the first time.
