@@ИванКолованов-у4с 1Q84 is the title of a novel by Haruki Murakami. One of the main characters hears this symphony playing in a taxi right at the beginning of the book.
Is everybody here because of the book. I am, I have just started reading it and I’m sorry to say I had never heard of Janacek before, always good to learn something new.
Just started reading this book 10 minutes ago and never having heard this music I just had to come to RUclips. Let me know how you get on with the book!!!
Two things: (1) Janacek is a great example of a late bloomer. A lot of his best stuff was written late in his life. (I'm 65, and his music gives me hope.) (2) What book are you referring to? If it's mentioned in the comments above, I missed it.
Bit surealistic feeling, beeing from Janáčeks town, to seen how huge influence he had even that farr as in Japan. For me Janaček is like neigbor, my family is from streats surroundig his house and school, and there are people all around the world from diferend cultures knowing his work and admiring his work.
"That people read Murakami's books is often as a taste guide, a list of works that a worldly, urban sophisticate should know." A paraphrase of a comment on Neomarxisme.
Not familiarized with the artist, I came here due to 1Q84 but honestly I have to say I actually find the music compelling. I really enjoy modern day composers. Sort of reminds me of the music from Clockwork Orange, strangely. I also feel it would have an apt place in Cloud Atlas. It just has that 'post modern' feel.
Funny thought about Cloud Atlas, because I honestly think that the Wachowski sisters are capable of doing a great movie out of 1Q84 books ... same atmosphere, playing with time & space...
+Cosmic Sans Murakami's editor really shit the bed with that book. It was a good story but no fucking way should it have been 1000+ pages long. I was sick of Tengo going to that fucking slide after the 2nd time. Wind up bird chronicle makes IQ84 look like shit.
I can't hear that opening fanfare without seeing in my mind mastodons striding across the steppes with mountains in the background. And return of that fanfare at the end is to me one of the most majestic and thrilling moments in all Western classical music.
This was the music they played (with a live orchestra) at my college graduation. It was so perfect for that occasion, and makes for a lovely memory. Really gorgeous stuff.
I can now understand, upon following the score, why this work is played less often than it merits. It is fiendishly difficult, with instruments being pushed to their limits.The rhythms are difficult, and with all the high-pitched notes, the intonation becomes a monstrosity.
I've never heard of Murakami and still haven't a clue what it is. I guess I'll have to check it out sometime. I'm here because this has been one of my absolute favorite symphonic pieces since I heard it as a child. Bits of it were used to brilliant effect in the 1979 film, "The Haunting of M", a classic ghost story. But the film is virtually impossible to find now.
Haruki Murakami is a Japanese writer.He mentions a lot a musical peices in his works.This particular peice was mentioned in one of his most famous works called 1Q84.
This is one of those pieces that blew me away first time I heard it, and has improved with subsequent hearings. What I love, apart from the fabulous music, is how Janacek pushes instruments to the extremes of their registers. This is a really great performance; the ending is thrilling!
Btw on end there is "Sokolská fanfára" which was something like "anthem" of Czechoslovakian group Sokol (falkon in english) which started in Czech part of Austria-Hungary to support Czech national proudness in young people
I love this piece of music. It's on my "desert island" playlist. I think it's one of the most thrilling compositions of the 20thC, and, really, ever. And, this is a filigreed recording -- it's all about the "brass" and winds. And I think about the city of Brno, the capital of Moravia. Thanks for posting it, with the score too!
Efectivamente, aquí andamos unos cuantos por culpa de Murakami. Con esta cuarentena espero terminar los libros en nada de tiempo, jeje. Abrazo virtual también para todos!
Tengo is truly giftet with the talent of music. Despite the lack of experience, he played this piece as a timpanist in a national high school wind orchestra competition. Just amazing.
I am here because of Murakami, but...ALSO there is this - I have been to Prague many times, it is one of my favorite cities in the world, and only recently I found out what the youth organization "Sokol" was (that this piece was written for), as I accidentally passed by a modern-day bar that is themed after the times and ideals of the "Sokol", and well, what it and it's followers have transformed into today, would fit into Murakami's world in a way...
@Luna sea - this is a reference to the song Knife Edge by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, a rock band influenced by classical music. They built the riff in Knife Edge around the opening bars of Sinfonietta.
Thank you so much for uploading this! I´ve loved this masterpiece since my childhood and when I see the partitur, I just think "how can anybody compose such a music..." Brilliant.
Haha same here! I have heard of the book but never read it and figured out from the comments that this piece must feature in it. Czech background via my mother and grew up listening to Dvořák--- discovered Janáček later and absolutely love the Sinfonietta.
Once, I had a chance to play Glagolitic mass with Mackerras. Glad I did before he passed away (soon after). What he did for Janáček and Czech culture is incalculable... But - last year I was in Brno with some musicians from Netherlands, and they wanted to see Janáček museum... So I took them there and it was such a shame... One woman just said after: "You have such a name, which EVERYBODY in music world knows.... and the museum looks like this??" --- it is a half-ruined house with extremely poor exhibition inside and extremely poor english speaking "stagist" / student working there who tells you "if you come tomorrow, you don't have to pay again and I will tell you some more..." .... wtf.? Really such a shame... On the other hand, I was not surprised that much. It tells more than just a story about one museum of one composer...
Omg really? I didnt know it was like that, when I watched some documentaries, I thought that he had more places in his name; I am very sad and disappointed to know such great artist has almost no place where he can be 'remembered', as in museums, etc. You know, I though it was only in my country, Bolivia, that those kind of things would happen. For example, we have three great composers that almost 99% of our population does not even know they exist, and could be very well considered national hereos as well, but I feel people just do not care...
There is no statue of Janáček in his birthplace of Hukvaldy either, but one thing there touched me very deeply. In a parklike wooded area is a statue of Liška Bystrouška - The Vixen Sharpears, made famous first by Teshnolodek's comic and novel, and finally Janáček's Opera "The Cunning Little Vixen" (1921 - 1923). I won't attempt to relate the humorous but very deep and moving story here, but Just say that the novel, after 100 years, has NEVER been out of print. Janáček's opera was performed by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra a few years ago (I saw it) and EVERY performance was sold out, whereupon, for their 100th Anniversary, they performed it across Europe. The statue of the Sharpears has been there on its rock since 1934, but her face and paws still shine. People, presumable knowing her story still climb up to pet her.
The way Janáček displaces his material and his general harmonic stylings are so "me", though I am influenced by contemporary music, thus a more modern outlook. But I sense a connection with him as an individual, very awesome!
Heard Peter Schickele's variation of this before Janacek's original. Just like his 1812 overture parody it's difficult to not anticipate the former's while listening to the latter's.

Hello, E-flat clarinet and piccolo duet right before the climax...
This is one of the great pieces of music from the modern era! An unforgettable and haunting experience!
This is still easy compared to other works of Janáček.
Also, the problem is that it calls for extra orchestral forces. If I'm not mistaken, there are nine trumpet parts written.
I arrived here due to ELP. It is magnificient!!

Janáček!!! Studuji Janáčkovu konzervatoř a Janáčkova hudba, ikdyz patří do hudební moderny tak je nádherná.
