RE: You probably know the composers I'm about to list already

Posted by andy evans on July 31, 2020 at 12:39:40:
Early Schoenberg - will look
7 early songs by Berg - yes, know and love those
Im Sommerwind by Webern - wow, that's lovely
Suk "Ripening" or his piano suites, "About Mother" and "About Friendship" definitely "float"...
- I'd never have thought of Suk, but you're right
Novak - sounds pretty tonal, will look further
Foerster - sounds pretty tonal again, bit like Novak
Mid-to-late Scriabin - yes, familiar with Scriabin
Stanchinsky.... piano works are very pianistic, hard to pull out chord progressions
Prokofiev's early music e.g., some of the Visions fugitives - yes, know those
Szymanowski especially some of his songs (Bunte Lieder, maybe?) - will look at him

Mompou - not my thing either

I'm looking for music I can draw on for songwriting - chord progressions. I already looked at Berg's 7 early songs and was tempted. Also looked at La Nativite Du Seigneur, especially Les Bergers
Some Faure is very tempting, like his Prelude #1 and #4 and bits of his Requiem. I should look at Copeland but it's become very cliche

Keep the suggestions coming!
