Funny stuff.

The fifth movement is written in sonata form. It begins with a slow introduction dominated by violins and bassoon, growing more expressive as it unfolds. The main allegro starts suddenly, with a vigorous and animated main theme in D major, exposed forte in full orchestra. A substantial transition leads to the more graceful and mellow second theme in A major, presented in piano by strings in contrapuntal fashion. This exposition is then repeated. The ensuing development deals with fragmented versions of the material, which are subjected to rhythmic transformations and harmonic modulations. The themes are then recapitulated in the home key of D major, with an optional repeat from the development onwards. A decided coda ends the work.

I once heard a teacher say "When you've heard one Hovhaness Symphony, you have heard them all" .... He was wrong.

Magnificent performance of the enthralling quartet of Hugo Wolf. Great analysis. Thank you for this jewel !

great music and thanks for the subtitles

Of the second movement Wagner wrote only 30 bars, I believe for piano, before abandoning the project in 1836. He was beginning to work on winning over Minna Planner and the work was taking time. Wagner also wrote that the work should not be continued under any circumstances. In 1884 or 1885, after the death of the maestro, Felix Motl, at Cosima Wagner's request, created five orchestral minutes from these initial 30 bars. I believe that the bars in question correspond to the main melody with which the second movement begins. The rest may be added by Motl. And among these additions another theme in a minor key sounds unmistakably in the middle of the 5-minute adagio we hear. And this leads me to conclude that both themes, the main one and the one in a minor key, are present in the slow central movement of a three-movement piano sonata that Wagner had finished a few years earlier, between 1830 and 1833. If it is true that Wagner was going to use the material from that sonata in this symphony, it seems that he was going to do so with the themes changed, since in the sonata, the main theme is the one in a minor key and the secondary theme, the main theme of the first 30 bars outlined for the symphony's adagio. With all this material at his disposal, if he knew it (which he probably did, given the addition of that second theme in a minor key of the sonata), it could be said that good old Motl did not take Cosima's commission too seriously and that, at a given moment, he got rid of it by force, leaving us with a poorly elaborate movement of little symphonic interest. Motl was certainly not Wagner.

Excelente..compositor de siglo pasado.

Bruckner and Richard Strauss had a baby. Very nice

A great American composer. who mad very beautiful pleasant delightful music.

Have not heard this recently, and had forgotten how good it is. Bowen was only in his late teens when he composed it.

Hovhaness doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I view him as one of the most intriguing of the 20th century American composers. He has such a distinctive voice and a massive body of work to listen to.

Thank you, Sergio. Just a couple of remarks. The title you use here - "Sinfonietta No. 2" suggests there might be a No. 1, but that’s not accurate. The official title of the work is (and always was) "Sinfonietta per grande orchestra". In this composition from 1993, Ľudovít Rajter used material (especially in the first movement) from his Sinfonietta written during his studies in Vienna (1924-1929), but after the premiere, he decided to reject it. Among the influences on Rajter´s style, I would also mention Zoltán Kodály and French composers of the late 19th and early 20th century. Josef Suk among the influences would have surprised Rajter (as his son, I believe I can say that). The third movement, and especially the trumpet solo, is dedicated to his great teacher, Franz Schmidt, and is directly inspired by the master's 4th Symphony. Nonetheless, thank you very much, and best wishes!

24:08 My favourite one.

A very enjoyable series. Thanks, Sergio.

Thanks very much.

For those hip to it, this is the greatest musical composition of all time. Carter was a god for having written it. At least he was in touch with something extraordinary here, like the secrets of the universe. You can’t quite tell from this premiere recording, though. The musicians do get through it-bless their hearts-but the *gestalt* of the work was too advanced for mortals in 1970. (Think even of the astonished sound engineers! ) One reason the work is so difficult is because once the tenor drum starts its initial roll, and the work is unleashed, there are zero stopping points, formatas, or re-gathering places. The flow is relentless. Every musician must concentrate on the macro development and also their micro contributions. Carter relied on the fact that pianist Paul Jacobs could handle the metric modulations, as an assist to the conductor in certain key places. We who revere this work also revere (1) Boulez for reviving it a few years later while whipping it into shape, and (2) Knussen for conducting an X-ray-perfect recording many years after that.

A masterpiece of XX century. This is the best version of this symphony. Thanks for publishing.

Very multifaceted composer.

More Mozart individuality manifesting itself by this point, though still lightly holding on to Haydn. Thanks for sharing, as always.

Genialna symfonia

Another great early Mozart symphony. Thanks !

What a beautiful project - presenting all of Mozart's symphonies!

Una obra maestra, parece mentira que haya caído en el olvido en este siglo XXI este genio…

Hinako Hovhaness, RIP. March 28, 1932 Osaka, Japan - December 22, 2022 SeaTac, Washington.

The British symphonic composers (RVW, Brian, Bax, Arnold, Walton, Simpson, Rubbra, etc) maintain the recognizable neoclassical style and try to find their oersonal voice within.

It's lovely music. Some of the orchestration and "feel" reminds me of Gorecki.

Μπράβο Σέρτζιο

Beautiful! What is the K number?

Holy shit this is one of the coolest things I've ever heard, maybe the coolest😦 how Richard? How could you think of these sounds?🛐😭😭

One fascinating and deeply emotionally arresting symphony after another. Thank you so much. Joanna Lumley once said "You do not have to be posh to be privileged" - having all this wonderful music is one way she was so right.

Το βράδυ έγραφε συνήθως ο Μότσαρτ.Μεσα στη ησυχία.Το κεφάλι του όμως γεμάτο νότες.

A splendid performance from the ever dependable Mackerras. While this delightful symphony shows a bit more of the young Mozart spreading his own wings, a lot of Haydn remains at its core.

This opening. I can't hear it without visualising Salieri with his open throat, first in his house, then being carried away while couples are dancing.

This symphony may be the turning point with abundant lyricism...

One of the most captivating and beautiful Mozart symphonies.. Magnificent performance of Mackerras with the Prague Chamber Orchestra. Thank you !

I like the picture

Another rather brief sinfonia. So interesting that it precedes his 1st symphonic masterpiece (the other great g minor symphony)

Mozart is like drinking peppermint tea. calming to the soul ❤

And I heard some central european folk tunes in between the lines

Ένα ατελείωτο κέφι η μουσική του.

a detour on the way to the late masterpieces.

Aprecio enormemente la puesta ante los seguidores de esta formidable obra.

Και ντύσιμο και μαλλί 😂 ΑΑ

It is an anthem of American classical music when America was still the hope...

An incredibly gifted composer, though the Soviet regime drove him into the numb corridors of alcoholism.

Beautiful. And that opening just feels so powerful.. And 17:17 is pretty nice too.
