Wow, this symphony is less orchestrated than I thought. The horns really help aggrandize this symphony i think. Fascinating to compared this with the later symphonies like the 41th. One is colossal, the other sounds colossal.
Yes, very simple orchestration: 4 horns, oboes, bassoons, and string orchestra. No flutes, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, tuba, timpani, etc. Much closer to chamber music.
smalin - Today (Saturday 21/11/15) I've discovered something most beautiful I've seen on Internet. This video! I just want let you know how great this video is for me and how much thankful I'm! The more so as it is my favorite of Mozart's symphony movements. Anyway, while watching and listening to this video I feel something "heavenly"... I mean the colour and perfect shapes.. perfectly moving up and down...accompanied with beautiful music.. all is excellent. (eg. 1:25-1:55/ 3:57-4:20 incredible!) in that I see the starry sky and bright little stars falling somewhere.. I see a small celestial fireworks... simply wonderful!!!! Really touch my heart every time I watch and listen to this great work of yours! For my musical taste this piece of Mozart's music is powerful, touching, magnificent! I am attached to this piece of music in a special sentimental way and it's miraculous for me! Thanks once again. Greetings from Croatia, EU Now, let me give you a few suggestion for animation, of course if you fancy it: Mozart: 1) Duettino "Sull' aria" from "Marriage of Figaro" (preferable version Lucia Popp & Gundula Janowitz) 2) Exsultate Jubilate 3) Piano Concerto No.15 / 3 Mvt. (pianist Boris Giltburg) Vivaldi: Concerto for 2 mandolins / Allegro Molto, RV558. .
+Musicrafter | Music and Games - I know that Mr.Malinowski doesn't take requests. So these are only my suggestions not requests! Read better what I wrote!
It's tragic. He would've done like too much work. Considering I think his best works is his last one I just get frustrated when I imagine he could've lived 20 years longer, what would he have done...
One of the few classical symphonies that used four horns in the orchestration. And a superb example of animation. And whoever the performers are, thank you for doing both the exposition repeat AND the development repeat.
Mozart always composed complex pieces. Even his first symphony and his first sonata are complex. He could read music before he could read words. He started composing for his sister at 5 years and continued his composing until he died from rheumatic heart disease at 35 years old. I often can tell if a piece is by Mozart by listening for complexity and a pattern. Most of his pieces are in major keys. Even with sonatas and symphonies, it is usually not the primary key that is minor if there is a minor key in there at all whereas Beethoven mostly used minors as primary keys and majors as secondary keys. Beethoven also took the feeling of the minors to the extremes. As a good example, his 5th symphony, first movement sounds angry in the C minor parts. But it isn't all C minor. It is more like C minor, F minor, C minor, C major, C minor
it is well-written for sure, and lovely to listen to. it is simple though, to be fair. it is much more challenging to write music on this level when you deviate from the classical model, when you leave the key structure, when you add color. frankly most of the melody for each instrument (in the first section, roughly 4 minutes) is simply outlining triads. even the acceptable passing tones such as 2 and 4 are largely avoided. while Bach was clearly on the same level structurally and technically, his melody is far richer and because he uses chromatics like Chopin, or should I say Chopin imitates Bach, his works are IMO slightly more impressive due to the increased difficulty in weaving the voices together. the second theme of this work though contains some of the most lovely music ever penned and i wish it were longer. alas, even poor Mozart was not long for this world.... however i agree that Mozart was unique in his ability to, well.....write perfect music.
It warms my heart to know there's still people who admire baroque classical and those others still. Thanks for this wonderful symphony from a prodigal genius
I wonder what the classical composers would think of 80 thrash metal and the timbre of guitar distortion. I'm incredibly curious about that and obviously I'll never know
It would really depend on what you meant. If they'd never heard anything like it before, they would almost certainly be baffled (and perhaps frightened). But, just like people who lived through the 80s, with proper exposure they might come to appreciate it. I mean, in a certain way, I am a "classical composer" (listen to the fugues here: ruclips.net/p/PL4582FF7722BB603F). My response to 80s thrash metal and guitar distortion was: I hated it. But I've come to like some of it (with "proper exposure"). So I expect it would be the same for others.
The bouncing diamonds following the main melody are a great idea. Mozart is totally out of control here, and the visuals showcase the madness very well.
Mozart didn't do much at all in minor keys. Beethoven on the other hand has a lot of his pieces in minor keys. That makes me think that Beethoven often felt sad or angry whereas Mozart often felt happy. That plus the pictures I have seen with Beethoven not frowning but having his eyebrows point down towards the center and Mozart smiling.
I am wondering , if the youth of the world, know how to listen to such beautiful and energetic music as this wonderful one of Mozart, the world will be probably a better place to live; because people will not have to spend much money and time to eat until they get sick of obesity and entertain in front of TV world channels, or making wars and violence
I'm 18 and know of quite a few who listen to classical, I will admit it is depressing how the uncultured most are though. This music shall never die, theirs shall.
If only more People Liked this classical art Known as Mozart, Beethoven,Bach, and any other Master Composer's in the Classical art I thank you For posting these Videos!!!!
Been listening to these guys since I was 10. I'm 30 now. I'm still discovering stuff I've never heard of by them. I just started on Bach's Motets. Discovered them last month. Some of hist best stuff, it's amazing how little known they are.
The 40th really is just an improved version of this symphony, mozart uses 0:10, 0:44, 3:57, 4:28 in the 40th, as well as many key relations. (3:49 is very similar to the last movement of Haydn's 49th in the same spot-- after the repeat)
It's odd that only two of his 41 symphonies and 2 of his 27 piano concertos are in minor keys. In fact, what else? The Requiem and the C-minor mass, two piano sonatas ...
Actually, there are lots of good Mozart works in minor keys other than those. Like Maurerische Trauermusik (Masonic Funeral Music in C minor K.477), Laudate Pueri (4th movement in D minor), Kyrie in D minor K.341, Fantasia in F minor for Mechanical Organ K.608, Fantasia for piano in C minor K.475, Adagio and Fugue in C minor for String Orchestra K.546, Misericordias Domini in D minor, K.222, String Quintets in C minor (K.406) and G minor (K.516), String Quartet in D minor K421, Rondo in A minor for piano K.511, Adagio in B minor for piano K.540, Fantasias for Piano in C minor (K.396), D minor (K.397) etc.. Composers in classical era (not half-Classical half-Romantic ones like Schubert or Beethoven) thought minor keys were imperfect, they mainly used major keys to start pieces and then minor keys to contrast. Quite a number of his concertos have their second movements in minor, such as Sinfonia Concertante in E flat major, Piano Concertos No.9, 18, 22, 23
wow Classica I'm grateful for that info. I just had a question. Which of Mozart's pieces do you personally prefer, those primarily in major keys or minor keys?
My band is playing a song with the part from 0:10 to 0:18 being played by ALL the woodwinds. Plus a bit more sixteenth note runs, and 0:00 to 0:10 played by an organ keyboard setting. Actually really fun
0:10 is it just me or does that sound like the opening theme from Mozart symphony number 40 the fourth movement? Both symphonies being in G minor is no excuse. It sounds similar to that of Beethoven's piano Sonata number one the first movement but also that of Beethoven's Symphony Number 5 the third movement.
What's interesting about Mozart is just how dramatic his minor key works are. His major key pieces are light, cheery, and then this is just so bold, like a cry against fate.
First time I heard this was the opening to "Amadeus" where Mozart's 'offsider' was racing to get a doctor as Mozart was dying. I now always see that scene when I hear this piece and to me it is of a person running desperately trying to get somewhere, yet you (I) know it will all be to no avail.
Yes, some things are better. Some are just different. And some ... well, I have to ask: more highly practiced at what? For example: how many of today's "more highly practiced" players improvise the cadenzas when they play a concerto? How many could do the steps of the dances they routinely play the music for (bourrée, sarabande, etc.)? And, are violins built today better than those built in Mozart's time?
@@smalin I've read that in the past it was hard enough getting an orchestra together. Bach was often frustrated by poorly trained musicians. One thing though, in Mozart's day you could applaud between movements . I hate the empty silence after you've heard a great passage of music. It almost feels insulting.
Ouais mais Salieri, c'est dans le film Amadeus... En vrai, Mozart devait avoir bien plus d'ennemis et comme tous les génies, les grands artistes, son travail n'a été aimé que bien plus tard... Quel dommage! Pour moi, il reste le plus grand compositeur de son temps...
If all you know about Salieri is what you saw in the Hollywood fiction movie, then you do not know squat about the real Salieri. Who by the way gave FREE lessons to Wolfgang's son, Xavier.
A qui parles-tu, Harry Andruschak? Ce que je veux dire est que Mozart reste pour moi un compositeur majeur... C'est de la musique de génie pour moi... Que son fils fut l'élève de Salieri, je m'en fiche. D'ailleurs, tu ne donnes pas de sources... Quelles sont-elles??? Peut-être me mens-tu... En tous cas, malgré les éloges que tu fais de ce type, je n'apprécie pas pour autant ses compositions. C'est comme ça : il y a des personnes qui ont des dons et d'autres qui ne les ont pas...
He has substituted the appoggiatura with an accacciatura, quite apart from playing it at about double the right speed, and causing the grace notes and the individual semiquavers in the semiquaver runs to be lost in the normal concert hall reverb.
Stephen, SoundHound's listening detection says this is the Mozart Festival Orchestra and a quick listen on Spotify sounds close. Not sure if it matters, but maybe that helps. :) As always, thanks for sharing the music!
smalin OMG! of course! you have no idea! I don't know about the others, but oh god, watching the music is just like seeing it naked (kinda weird) but I feel like I can see everything, like omniscient, you know. I'm not Mozart, I don't think I can ever enjoy his music or see it the way he did. He composed this in his head, with each single notes, phrases, instruments, put together to make such a perfect and satisfying whole. He knows every details of it. I don't. I can only notice a few prominent theme, usually the highest notes and the lowest ones. It's hard for me to notice the other supporting instruments like horns, bassoons, and clarinets in other symphonies. But even then, I already love this music so much. Let alone Mozart, who knows every details of the music! But with your videos! I am aware of everything. :)
smalin smalin, did you make an ipad app? I saw you commented on the other video saying that you made an app? What is its name? What is it for? I wanna check it out. Thanks.
MOZ-Bachthoveen-ART 1. I made an iPad app that is unrelated to music visualization; it is called Harmonizer (it's a free app). 2. I collaborated on Björk's app/album Biophilia. This has one of my music visualizations for each song on the album. Both of these apps are available on the iTunes Store.
I'm guessing that it reminds you of places in Bach where there's just a single melody being playing in unison (or octaves). Also, it's very regular and angular, which is like some famous passages in Bach's music. For example, listen to the opening of BWV 1052.
@@smalin the first keyboard concerto of bach isn't the style im talking about.That opening part is its own original theme and doesn't show the similarities I timestamped.
I'd assume it's what smalin said, it's very angular, with every note being a fourth, it would fit the baroque style, and especially Bach's germanic baroque, the One second reason is the harmony I think, or more so the progression, a very graceful descend from G minor to C minor using a sequences (the same melody bit repeating but lower or higher, in this case it repeated 3 times and descended) with all that, the sequence, the modulation using said sequence and the equal notes give it a very baroque Bach style. I:m far from being an expert though, so I'm open to being corrected, feel free to ask for any explanations!
J'adore cette symphonie! On l'appelle la "petite sol mineur" (la grande étant la symphonie n°40 en Gm.), mais je n'apprécie pas cette appellation... Elles sont ttes les 2 aussi magnifiques!
I could tell that this symphony was definitely composed by a callow and young Mozart. He was 17 years old when he wrote it. Extremely impressive for such a young age. But it's a tad repetitive. He got the introduction to a good fugue going at 0:44 but then he petered out quite quickly. He was also getting there with the chromatic chords, but then he'd pull back and go immediately to the safety of the major chords. Now compare this to J.S. Bach's earliest work that he composed at 22 years old, linked below. The chromaticism is off the charts, and the fugue is so damn well developed it's out of this world. I cried the first time I heard this Bach masterpiece--it's that incredibly soulful and well-balanced. I really do mourn the fact that we have nothing from Bach he composed in his teen years. But I bet it was better than what Mozart was churning out at 17. (J.S. Bach cantata done when he was 22: ruclips.net/video/hRcfSa8yECE/видео.html )
Handel composed this at age 21 during his trip to Italy : ruclips.net/video/DKcIB3Q_F4o/видео.html It took 26 years for Mozart to be able to compose at this level (with the Mass in C)
How about... No People, STOP comparing composers like primary school kids comparing Pokémon cards, it's immature at best. Every well known composer is so due to a mix of being special in terms of skill and style, but also luck, we may never know how many amazing composers were lost in history just because they didn't have the opportunities to be taken up by courts, or because they died too early, or because all their works were lost in time due to an accident, poor planning in making copies and preserving them, or simply bad luck. With all that, every major composer was a skilled person, who was inspired by and inspired other composers, they're not a divine wonder. Arguing on who is "best" is senseless. And especially when it's just unrelated to the video??? You just started daydreaming in text about your God Bach's superiority to any composer to ever exist, just calm down. (I'm hyper exaggerating, I want to make that clear) Having a favourite composer does not mean you have to put every other one down any chance you get, and even in moments where there isn't even a chance or anything, like here.
Hey smalin, i don't pretend to be a Mozart master but at 1:28 i don't think there is a fioriture, i think this is 4 quarter note. i hear this symphony a lot and this is the first time i hear that. I mostly play piano, i never looked the urtext of this symphony so this is why i ask.
I like what you've done graphically, but I find the violins sound muffled in this recording. You really need to hear the attack and detail of the strings, especially in a Sturm und Drang piece like this.
+smalin sorry for my bad grammar we scousers arnt noted for are etycet when it comes to asking for somting .my bad plese and thank you are in my dictionary but are speld wrong and therfor hard to find lol
Am I the only one who feels that there are too many identical or almost identical repetitions? It's almost the same thing over and over again with tiny variations in between.
Too many notes indeed. Well, it could be the very reason why I like Beethoven better; the soul of his composition (IMHO) is when he's done with the introduction and finally has "free reigns" so to speak. I do like this (so very elegantly orchestrated) symphony, but it feels more like a pop song in terms of form. So, although I agree with the Emperor on a few levels I will keep to "too many repetitions" or perhaps "too lazy composer."
There is more repetition in Mozarts pieces, but he was a melody guy. Once he found a melody he liked, he kind of went crazy over it... That's what I feel like this symphony is. It's beautiful, and full of sounds... but you're right about a little bit too much repetition. I also couldn't agree more about Beethoven... He is definitely my favorite. With Mozart, Chopin, and someone I can't think of right now, running far behind in second. Especially playing piano pieces, I enjoy Chopin and Beethoven far more than Mozart. But Beethoven drives deeper than anyone I've ever listened to..
It's true. It's a product of the simpler gallant or Classical era style, which puts less demand on the listener to hear things like the inner voices of earlier more polyphonic Baroque, and instead focuses more on melody and rhythm. This kind of music would probably have driven Bach insane. His sons tried to convince him later in life to write "easier to digest" music, a request he not only refused, but it also is has been said greatly angered him.
Ze Rubenator I think Beethoven had his share of repetitions as well. And i have to disagree with Mozart being a 'lazy' composer, of all things... thats just funny :D
thats not true. the rates got affected because the child mortality rate was very high, but if you survived the childhood then you had a long life to live
Wrong - not only are these stats skewed by high infant mortality, but especially those of the property owning class lived to quite a healthy age even by modern standards.
Wow, this symphony is less orchestrated than I thought. The horns really help aggrandize this symphony i think. Fascinating to compared this with the later symphonies like the 41th. One is colossal, the other sounds colossal.
Yes, very simple orchestration: 4 horns, oboes, bassoons, and string orchestra. No flutes, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, tuba, timpani, etc. Much closer to chamber music.
If the sound wasn't amazing enough, Mozart was 12 years old when he wrote this piece. 12!!!
Tim Vance
Mozart was born in 1756, and this was composed in 1773, so he was about 17 years old.

I've read that in the past it was hard enough getting an orchestra together.

One thing though, in Mozart's day you could applaud between movements .
I hate the empty silence after you've heard a great passage of music.
It almost feels insulting.
It is really hard to write like this and not sound like Hans Zimmer. I can't do it for example.
?
Very engaging for young musicians to watch. Thank you for sharing.
1:25 !!!!! what an exposition
24 dislikes are by Salieri's friends
Ouais mais Salieri, c'est dans le film Amadeus... En vrai, Mozart devait avoir bien plus d'ennemis et comme tous les génies, les grands artistes, son travail n'a été aimé que bien plus tard... Quel dommage! Pour moi, il reste le plus grand compositeur de son temps...
If all you know about Salieri is what you saw in the Hollywood fiction movie, then you do not know squat about the real Salieri. Who by the way gave FREE lessons to Wolfgang's son, Xavier.
A qui parles-tu, Harry Andruschak? Ce que je veux dire est que Mozart reste pour moi un compositeur majeur... C'est de la musique de génie pour moi... Que son fils fut l'élève de Salieri, je m'en fiche. D'ailleurs, tu ne donnes pas de sources... Quelles sont-elles??? Peut-être me mens-tu... En tous cas, malgré les éloges que tu fais de ce type, je n'apprécie pas pour autant ses compositions. C'est comme ça : il y a des personnes qui ont des dons et d'autres qui ne les ont pas...
Bloody people commenting in French.
I love this symphony. Darker side of Mozart or just him poking fun? Either way, its music is divine.
One of my favorites!
I so exhausted while findin' yer' chann'l
This was in the beginning of Amadeus.
Yep.
I think it was an amazing music for that kind of beginning.
Amazing
Thank you! Happy New Year to you!
too fast and the second theme in the exposition at 1:25 is played wrong I think. I listened to the score version and it sounded different
My god ur right..
He has substituted the appoggiatura with an accacciatura, quite apart from playing it at about double the right speed, and causing the grace notes and the individual semiquavers in the semiquaver runs to be lost in the normal concert hall reverb.
@@johnb6723 that's right
Q: what tempo is this in?
A:
Stephen, SoundHound's listening detection says this is the Mozart Festival Orchestra and a quick listen on Spotify sounds close. Not sure if it matters, but maybe that helps. :) As always, thanks for sharing the music!
Sounds the same to me --- thanks!
4:00 my favorite part, and it only lasts like 10 seconds /:
+Malcolm Lessoil do you have any recomedations for other pieces based on that?
3:57 exactly for me, I just wonder why it's so good at this moment.
You did an amazing job! I love the colors and the shapes you picked with this one!
I was just listening to this earlier today. Now I can watch it too.
Does watching it make it any better?
smalin OMG! of course! you have no idea! I don't know about the others, but oh god, watching the music is just like seeing it naked (kinda weird) but I feel like I can see everything, like omniscient, you know. I'm not Mozart, I don't think I can ever enjoy his music or see it the way he did. He composed this in his head, with each single notes, phrases, instruments, put together to make such a perfect and satisfying whole. He knows every details of it. I don't. I can only notice a few prominent theme, usually the highest notes and the lowest ones. It's hard for me to notice the other supporting instruments like horns, bassoons, and clarinets in other symphonies. But even then, I already love this music so much. Let alone Mozart, who knows every details of the music! But with your videos! I am aware of everything. :)
smalin
smalin, did you make an ipad app? I saw you commented on the other video saying that you made an app? What is its name? What is it for? I wanna check it out. Thanks.
MOZ-Bachthoveen-ART
1. I made an iPad app that is unrelated to music visualization; it is called Harmonizer (it's a free app).
2. I collaborated on Björk's app/album Biophilia. This has one of my music visualizations for each song on the album.
Both of these apps are available on the iTunes Store.
smalin Smalin,this app is available for android too??Thankk you very much,love your work!!
Foarte frumoasa vizualizarea . Multzumesc .
Good performance.
6:35 can any smart musical guys explain why this part sounds similar to Bach
I'm guessing that it reminds you of places in Bach where there's just a single melody being playing in unison (or octaves). Also, it's very regular and angular, which is like some famous passages in Bach's music. For example, listen to the opening of BWV 1052.
@@smalin the first keyboard concerto of bach isn't the style im talking about.That opening part is its own original theme and doesn't show the similarities I timestamped.
I guess I can't help you, then. There are many reasons that one piece of music can remind you of another.
I'd assume it's what smalin said, it's very angular, with every note being a fourth, it would fit the baroque style, and especially Bach's germanic baroque, the One second reason is the harmony I think, or more so the progression, a very graceful descend from G minor to C minor using a sequences (the same melody bit repeating but lower or higher, in this case it repeated 3 times and descended) with all that, the sequence, the modulation using said sequence and the equal notes give it a very baroque Bach style.
I:m far from being an expert though, so I'm open to being corrected, feel free to ask for any explanations!
always loved this piece, just learned that he wrote it at age 17
Symphonies are easier to compose. That's why Mozart loved them
@@accipiterignitus5123 where idiots like you are coming from- is a mystery...
J'adore cette symphonie! On l'appelle la "petite sol mineur" (la grande étant la symphonie n°40 en Gm.), mais je n'apprécie pas cette appellation... Elles sont ttes les 2 aussi magnifiques!
It's like the movie Fantasia's great grandson.
waht a masterpiece.........
Oh Amadeus, what a great movie.
one of the best movies ever
Silky Fanatic
Agreed
I could tell that this symphony was definitely composed by a callow and young Mozart. He was 17 years old when he wrote it. Extremely impressive for such a young age. But it's a tad repetitive. He got the introduction to a good fugue going at 0:44 but then he petered out quite quickly. He was also getting there with the chromatic chords, but then he'd pull back and go immediately to the safety of the major chords. Now compare this to J.S. Bach's earliest work that he composed at 22 years old, linked below. The chromaticism is off the charts, and the fugue is so damn well developed it's out of this world. I cried the first time I heard this Bach masterpiece--it's that incredibly soulful and well-balanced. I really do mourn the fact that we have nothing from Bach he composed in his teen years. But I bet it was better than what Mozart was churning out at 17. (J.S. Bach cantata done when he was 22: ruclips.net/video/hRcfSa8yECE/видео.html )
ruclips.net/video/dQ77xyyffjA/видео.html take your bullshit elsewhere
Handel composed this at age 21 during his trip to Italy : ruclips.net/video/DKcIB3Q_F4o/видео.html
It took 26 years for Mozart to be able to compose at this level (with the Mass in C)
@@jocelynreinhardt4093 Cute. Mozart was about 16 when he wrote Litaniae 125.
look what you've done you've started a war
How about... No
People, STOP comparing composers like primary school kids comparing Pokémon cards, it's immature at best. Every well known composer is so due to a mix of being special in terms of skill and style, but also luck, we may never know how many amazing composers were lost in history just because they didn't have the opportunities to be taken up by courts, or because they died too early, or because all their works were lost in time due to an accident, poor planning in making copies and preserving them, or simply bad luck. With all that, every major composer was a skilled person, who was inspired by and inspired other composers, they're not a divine wonder. Arguing on who is "best" is senseless. And especially when it's just unrelated to the video??? You just started daydreaming in text about your God Bach's superiority to any composer to ever exist, just calm down. (I'm hyper exaggerating, I want to make that clear) Having a favourite composer does not mean you have to put every other one down any chance you get, and even in moments where there isn't even a chance or anything, like here.
This music sum up Life
awesome
respect
Best part 6:05
Agreed
That part chills me! It´s EXCELLENT
Este tema lo usaron de cortina para la película Amadeus!
Does the maker have synesthesia? It looks like it. The one of Debussy looks really similar to mine.
Bravo
Hey smalin, i don't pretend to be a Mozart master but at 1:28 i don't think there is a fioriture, i think this is 4 quarter note. i hear this symphony a lot and this is the first time i hear that. I mostly play piano, i never looked the urtext of this symphony so this is why i ask.
martin chenier Yes, this ensemble plays it differently.
I'm wondering who are those 10 people dislike this ?!?!
Fascists
Agreed
ADORO!
What's with the four horn parts? Are there really 4 french horns in that symphony?
Google just answered that for me. The symphony is really scored for 4 horns.
..Mozart wasn't exactly 'equal opportunity' when it came to which instruments he scored for..he had his fav's and one of em' wasn't the flute..
dude, modern orchestras use 6-8 horns and orchestras back then was twice as small so 4 would be fine
3 French horns 2 turtle doves.
Timrath 3 French horns 2 turtle doves.
Such angst...
I like what you've done graphically, but I find the violins sound muffled in this recording. You really need to hear the attack and detail of the strings, especially in a Sturm und Drang piece like this.
This was the only recording I could find that I could license to use in this video.
Could you put what are the colors meaning (instruments) in every video? Some have, some have not.
In this, it's easier to say what shapes the instruments are: oboe/bassoon inverted ellipse (star), strings rhombus, brass octagon.
"Cannibal!"
Smalin, do you plan to animate the other movements of this symphony?
I don't have plans one way or the other.
have you got spiegal im spiegal in your collection ? .smalin, would like to see that animated
+Ricky plaster No (and see "Could you please ..." in the FAQ).
+smalin sorry for my bad grammar we scousers arnt noted for are etycet when it comes to asking for somting .my bad plese and thank you are in my dictionary but are speld wrong and therfor hard to find lol
this is a beautiful song
I prefer the 40th one too, dunno why.
The 40th is richer. This one 25 is written by 17 yo Mozart. I mean the age changes everything
8:17
תרגום נלא של מוזיקה לצד הויזואלי מדהים
Am I the only one who feels that there are too many identical or almost identical repetitions? It's almost the same thing over and over again with tiny variations in between.
Perhaps Emperor Joseph II would have said something similar?
Too many notes indeed. Well, it could be the very reason why I like Beethoven better; the soul of his composition (IMHO) is when he's done with the introduction and finally has "free reigns" so to speak. I do like this (so very elegantly orchestrated) symphony, but it feels more like a pop song in terms of form. So, although I agree with the Emperor on a few levels I will keep to "too many repetitions" or perhaps "too lazy composer."
There is more repetition in Mozarts pieces, but he was a melody guy. Once he found a melody he liked, he kind of went crazy over it... That's what I feel like this symphony is. It's beautiful, and full of sounds... but you're right about a little bit too much repetition. I also couldn't agree more about Beethoven... He is definitely my favorite. With Mozart, Chopin, and someone I can't think of right now, running far behind in second. Especially playing piano pieces, I enjoy Chopin and Beethoven far more than Mozart. But Beethoven drives deeper than anyone I've ever listened to..
It's true. It's a product of the simpler gallant or Classical era style, which puts less demand on the listener to hear things like the inner voices of earlier more polyphonic Baroque, and instead focuses more on melody and rhythm.
This kind of music would probably have driven Bach insane. His sons tried to convince him later in life to write "easier to digest" music, a request he not only refused, but it also is has been said greatly angered him.
Ze Rubenator I think Beethoven had his share of repetitions as well. And i have to disagree with Mozart being a 'lazy' composer, of all things... thats just funny :D
tonedeff - velocity...
The rhythm here is very similar to the leper performed by Michael Pauline in Monty Python and the Life of Brian 😂😂😂😂
0:24 oof..
..huh?
Maybe he doesn't like the oboe. Muh?
Sounds like the instruments aren't in tune.. Or is that just me?
speed 2.0
+Jesse King Oh my god, this is speed 2 is awesomeee O~O
Who said metal?!
This version is meh..I don't hear the strings...
Specially the cello
DE KOMMER-
People had to write music at a young age because people died very young then
Haydn lived to 77, and many composers lived long lives (see www.classical.net/music/composer/dates/comp6.php).
smalin but people didn't know how long people would live because people died very young
thats not true.
the rates got affected because the child mortality rate was very high, but if you survived the childhood then you had a long life to live
Bejill Begill That doesn't make a lot of sense.
Wrong - not only are these stats skewed by high infant mortality, but especially those of the property owning class lived to quite a healthy age even by modern standards.
This performance is terrible.
I paid $40 in 2013 to license this recording. If you'd like to help me pay for better recordings, consider this: www.musanim.com/Underwriting/
I beg to differ.
