It's a tone poem in four acts. i) a woman decides to poisons her husband she doesn't fancy any more ii) this woman then marries another man shortly afterwards iii) A wood dove then sits on the grave of her dead husband and sings a sad song day after day - talk about torture!! iv) The wife feels guilty and commits suicide by jumping and drowning in a river. Oh those Czech women!!
Is there any chance you can do the Golden spinning wheel next? I haven't found it in your videos and would love to see the programme in there explained too!
@@hansdekorver7365Ok, let me be more precise: They did not skip a beat but the violins replaced the last of their beats with a too early entry on the held trill.
@@hansdekorver7365I am confused. Václav Neumann is a conductor and the Czech Philharmonics is an orchestra, which are both not a score. I am just referring to what is shown here and also checked the available scores on IMSLP, which agree with this one in this passage. Do we agree that score and music are not the same in the bits after the above timestamp in this video, that is two bars before the Allegro?
Very elegiac and haunting in the beginning....wow. Never heard this one before. What a masterpiece.
Such a gorgeous piece of music
Lovely recording, I appreciate you taking the time to explain the programme of this music!!

@@schubertuk It's quite similar to The Raven by E. A. Poe, right? Just more brutal.
I am so glad I just discovered this!

4:33 They have skipped the last beat in the penultimate bar before the Allegro.
No . The harp is o.k. It does not start at the beginning. So only 6 times. It is also a kind of accelerando , and then more quiet again.

@@hdbrot Thank you . But then it seems to have been agreed. Alternative score ? ( Vaclav Neumann and Czech Philharmonic )

@@hdbrot We do agree indeed. So the question is , why did the conductor do this ? ( Recorded 1977 ) . I can only guess.
Which is the orchestra? Anh who is the conductor?
Vaclav Neumann + Czech Philh. Orchestra ( 1977 )
2:57 Beethoven reference!
and Mahler 5 at 1:42
Not sure considering it was released 6 years later.
Not at all. That is just a super common chord sequence orchestrated in a vaguely similar way.
Symphony 3 indeed. ( Second movement )
@@theyoutubetroll6679 That is not possible.
1:15 reminds to me Tchaikovsky's 6
6:08
