  • Antonín Dvořák:
    Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70, B 141 (with Score)
    Composed: 13 December 1884 - 17 March 1885 (revision 1885)
    Conductor: Václav Neumann
    Orchestra: Czech Philharmonic
    00:00 1. Allegro maestoso (D minor)
    11:12 2. Poco adagio (F major)
    20:48 3. Scherzo: Vivace - Poco meno mosso (D minor - D major)
    28:29 4. Finale: Allegro (D minor)
    Dvořák’s seventh symphony in succession, written in D minor, enjoys a special status in the composer’s series of nine symphonies. Its gloomy atmosphere is in direct contrast not only to its two neighbouring symphonies (Nos. 6 and 8), but also to the large majority of Dvořák’s oeuvre as a whole. It is characteristic for its dramatic expression and sombre atmosphere of grave uncertainty and obstinate defiance. It is distinguished for its absence of any Slav-inspired melodies which were characteristic for the composer’s preceding Slavic period and with which his compositional style is usually associated. In spite of its dramatic impact, this is also a profoundly intimate work where the composer examines the meanderings of his soul and the answers to elementary issues of human existence. While it cannot compete in popularity with Dvořák’s New World Symphony, in terms of its overall conception, the gravity of its testimony and its masterful formal treatment, this is a supreme example of symphonic writing which ranks alongside some of the most important works in the post-Beethoven development of the symphonic genre; a number of experts even place it above the symphonies of Brahms.

    I just love how in the 4th movement they take a little extra time at the end of those rocket arpeggios, to let the bottom fall out of the sound for just a moment, and heighten the impact of the following downbeat. Most orchestras just plow through them as if they weren't there. This is rapidly becoming my favorite interpretation.

      Is that necessarily the case? I feel like Dvorak's 7-9th symphonies are his best known. The 9th beats out the other two by a long shot in terms of popularity, but I feel like 7 and 8 get a fair share of attention as well.

      Well, Chris, I am an amateur string player in an orchestra and have performed the fabled New World Symphony (and will be playing the first two movements of that work in the autumn) as well as the Eighth complete with a top D in the third movement right up the fingerboard. Not easy for a viola, bearing in mind that passage is high in the treble clef! Have not had the privilege of playing the 7th, alas. But I have attended a concert where the CBSO performed it. Best for me is the last movement with a triumphant D major ending!

      Yes, Chris, as a violist in an amateur orchestra, I notice things like that. The 7th could be said to be Dvorak's Pathetique, given the sombre and impassioned key of D minor. Love the triumphant ending with the D major chord (the F# does it for me!)

  • @angelacooper2661
    @angelacooper2661 3 года назад +9

    This work is in D minor. I read somewhere that it was 'Dvorak's Pathetique' coloured by minor tonality and that D minor is a sombre key. I agree - for me the happy ending of the last movement into D major is as light after darkness and triumph at the end!

      I think someone's reorchestrated the piece slightly to give the brass more to do. Makes some kind of sense - the brass instruments (well, trumpets and horns) of Dvorak's time literally couldn't play these kinds of bits, so one could argue Dvorak would have actually wanted it to be played like this (or just that the piece sounds better orchestrated like this) - a good example is 35:08, where the horns play the bassoon/oboe part because they played the equivalent bit at 31:28 - but a purist might not like it.
