Bravo, Werner!
fucking world... I didn't know Werner von Schnitzler.
Look for his phenomenal youth recordings. It was a find for me too….I wonder where he was all those years between his youth and now..
Look for him playing Sarasate 10 year ago ! You could see that he was a prodigy !
Bravo!!
Has anybody actually realised what Haydn was saying in that grotesque
3rd movement? "Witches dance" my ass!!! He was railing against
authority- the absolutist monarch calls a grotesque tune and everybody
else has to dance to it. In the middle of it all tentatively springs an
eastern european folk tune, a brilliant folk tune, with drone and all-
(Haydn WAS an eastern european FOLK musician!!!) This doesn't last long
though, and it's back to the grotesquerie of absolutist authority with
that awful canon. Bear in mind also, that Haydn was a blithe spirit when
he wrote this and not beholden to the Esterhazys any longer- he wanted
to say what he felt. As for the "Aesthetics" of 4 movements in
symphonies/quartets- He was writing for a certain audience- 4 movements?
1 for the "authority", 2 for the ladies, 3 for the "Gentlemen" (which
is why he virtually wrote the same minuet 300 times- as the men were
such dullards- Haydns real "joke"- he was mocking the boring males!!!)
and the 4th was for himself-true folk music which he wanted to be heard
in the court- which is why these last movements are invariably folk
music inspired. If you know anything about eastern european folk music
you'll realise this. Haydns music was very controlled by authority and
if he could subvert it, he did. Try finding a bio or book about Haydn
which says as much... But in reality he was a rebel and was envious of
Beethoven , especially his 3rd symphony- a VERY rebellious symphony-
Beethoven dared to say things Haydn could only do subversively as he was
under dictatorial/absolutist rule- think Shostakovitch DSCH etc. The
authorities want to make you think he was a "Good" boy!! To really
appreciate that 3rd movement, listen to the Tokyo Quartet- the Japanese
are better eastern folkies than this lot!!! That 4th movement is PURE
folk...
Thank you for this! Enlightening!!
