- The fourth movement from Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique marked Allegro ma non troppo - Marche au supplice (Procession to the scaffold). In this movement the artist tries to kill himself with a large dose of opium but the result is a nightmarish hallucination. He Dreams he has killed his beloved and a crowd approaches, leading him to the guillotine where he is executed. This was described by Bernstein as the first 'trip' in music. This movement is in sonata form.

This literally saved my music grade
This fourth movement is mentioned in passing in the novel "Hunters in a Narrow Street" by Jabra I. Jabra. Thank you for making it possible for me understand the significance of that mention by posting this. Truly wonderful.
This is very helpful to understanding classical music. When you pointed out the descending theme being reversed, it was a revelation to me. I never would have picked that up. Thanks.
Thank you, Steve, you've done a wonderful work, this is a really useful video... Greetings from Mendoza, Argentina.
the entire symphonie melts me into tears, but this movement is overwelming
Okurr
No words. It's like the music speakes. Amazing
Ooo!! This is AWESOME!! I already loved this symphony, but never found a good resource that analyzed it as much as you have here.
You do amazing work!
1) There is no tonic chord in the timpani. The full chord is provided by the pizzicato in the bass and the cello.
2) Good call on the transformation of the pastoral theme. I hadn't noticed that before. (srsly.)
3) That the march theme ends strongly with an A-flat tone (and less strongly with an F tone) only suggests f-minor. There is no fifth to confirm. Furthermore, the A-flat is part of a rising chromatic scale that runs directly to A-natural, lending support to the V7-III that re-modulates to B-flat (III).
4) Those are technically sextuplets in the timps. The return to the beginning is mechanical and formal, which, I agree, is odd for Berlioz.
5) That's not a pedal tone in the bass. If it changes, it's not a pedal tone.
6) Oh gods! Okay. So, the development section actually begins with the march motif in B-flat. It's developing the opening motif in the horns from a simple two-bar fragment to full-fledged phraseology. What you've labeled as the development is actually the preparation for the recapitulation, in g-minor, fortissimo.
7) D7.

Ye Gods!!! Ivy didn't notice something... :O
But are you serious?! (srsly)
serious shivers! anyone else hear his head drop?
Thank you so much for making this video. I really appreciate it !:)
Just look on wikipedia, describtions of Berlioz programme notes are all there.
There is NO Question. The 4th Movement of the aptly named 'Symphony Fantastique', Rocks !
@Epic4ever Yes, just one more to do! Should be done by next week hopefully. Is there any piece of music you would like me to do next - I'm open to any suggestions
Amazing work! Thanks for that.
@exhornnerd Thanks for your comment! - The 5th movement is up now, just in case you didn't know and were waiting.
Who’s here in 2021 ?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Me 😂
The only problem with Stravinsky and Shostakovich is the copyright issues. I will see what I can do though
To put it in one word "fantastique!"
thank you for posting :)
sick.
Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique 4th Movement - Marche au supplice
Wow
@corksmusic1 I would love to see you do Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky, or Shostakovich's 9th symphony. :)
@exhornnerd Thanks for your comment! The fifth movement is uploaded now, just in case you were still waiting
Me only finding this the day of my exam 😭
Doesn't the beginning of the movement represent him taking the high dose of opium rather than the crowd approaching him. Your analysis seems to indicate that he took the dose between the 3rd and 4th movement.
anyone know what form this is?

Free form such as the symphonic phantasy.
Cyclic form👍🏻
sectional form
The whole symphony is narrative form. It tells a linear story, like a play or movie.
One more to go!
@corksmusic1 Who owns the copyright on them? If they're subject to the DMCA, then what you're doing should be totally legit. This is commentary, and would fall under the Fair Use doctrine.
where is the 5th movement?
