This piece of music has stuck in my Head, since I first heard it as a child. I'm 65 now watching a TV programme 5 days ago it was playing I eventually found out, The name of the music and composer's name. Fantastic piece of music.
SAME! My first concert and had to have the album at ten years old. Once Napster began I listened to every Composer I could from the era - reunited & its sounds so good. (HA. Napster is old too)
I have ignored Khachaturian's music for a long time. I thought he was a one-hit wonder, but I now see that is simply not the case. This suite along with his symphonies and ballet music is great.
This was my first experience at the National Symphony orchestra in Washington DC. I remember I could hardly sit still. I felt like I was running. He has a brief period when you catch your breath and he begins again. Genius.
The fact that this was performed on June 21, 1941. The day before Operation Barbarossa gives goosebumps and the song sounds like a chain of events ready to happen.
You don't even want to listen to "The Year 1905" by Dmitri Shostakovich. It will shred your soul. He captured the darkness of what happened and what followed......and hasn't ended.
@@jacko4483 The first people's revolution happened in 1905. The glorious event that liberated the people of Eastern Europe and then the whole world. Shostakovich was a staunch communist and so was Khachaturian, so I'm pretty certain they saw the Revolution in good light as well. Besides, even if you aren't a communist. It doesn't take a lot to understand that the communist rule was undeniably a superior and much more progressive one than the Tsarist one for the working class population.
@Ari-ne2yb yeah, sure. So how's that ideology working out these days? Gloriously. Yep, just like China. Bastions both as beacons of hope for the rest of the world.
@@jacko4483 And china is famously communist today? USSR worked great under communism btw. The communist party brought a feudal country from nowhere to 10k USD per annum of per capita GNI in 1991. Sure it was more authoritarian than what we had hoped for but comeon. Russia after communism is less authoritarian now? And before communism was last authoritarian? And about China, what was it before communism? A damn monarchy. Considering all of this, communism has actually worked wonders for the third world and brought us out of colonialism. The economic problems my country faces and many such countries in the global south face have only been amplified after the fall of the USSR. Labour share of income used to be 75% in the country I am from in 1980, today it's dropped to 54%. This is directly the influence of the forced privatization that we had to do after the fall of the USSR under pressure of the IMF. Which continues to do this still around the world. The only fault with communism is that the Revolution started in a country like Russia instead of Germany, USA or France even though almost all ideological synthesis of socialism and communism has been purely Western European. That and the fact that the USSR dissolved in 1991 are the only two tragedies of communism.
I both love and hate this waltz. Love because I ve never heard so much passion in 4 minutes. And hate because no other waltz will ever fully satisfy me again...
you are really dont know what you are saying "metal heads" as you call them and people that listen to rock n roll do listen to classical music too but you are too blinded from a stupid propaganda that was created from people like you who think that metal and other similar types of music is garbage sure that music might not compare to classical music but it is still good
There's something behind this waltz that I can't really catch up, even tough I listen to it several times. The tension and distension dynamics, the crescendo and diminuendo throughout the whole piece... this set of contrasts build a mystical, suffocating and magnanimous atmosphere. It's somehow unexplainable the feelings that listening to this transmits.
To me it sounds like a masquerade ball full of villains and high society schemers. Beautiful and mesmerizing dancing, but you know the whole while that someone is plotting someone else's assassination.
It’s a bit in the same vein like the Shostakovich Waltz No 2, though the styles are different. Nothing romantic or flowery about this music. This is what dancing with the Devil must sound like.

The overwhelming passion and power behind this masterpiece compels even the faintest of hearts. Every time this comes on my playlist, I find myself trying to decide whether or not to give into a bout of waltzing. :)

@@katrinyoung2073 Because he's a Soviet composer born in Russian Empire, not just Armenian. He spoke Russian and lived in Moscow since he turned 19. He learned and graduated in Moscow, he spent all his life and created his masterpieces in Russia (though buried in Erevan in Armenia). He's as much a Russian genius as an Armenian one. Same thing with the great Americans, they may be of African or Jewish or Anglo-Saxon or Indian origins, but we consider them a part of American culture.
@@memmori1 Living somewhere doesnt make you that ethnos, especially when you are a hostage in the city of your oppressors. Stop trying to white wash the imperialistic conquest, occupation and exploitation of neighbouring nations of the Tsars and Soviets
@@mithridates5399 I don't need to "whitewash" anything that is not dirty. Before you open your mouth and speak, try to find a brain in your head, turn it on and think over those numbers. In 1897, there were 800 000-1000000 Arnenians in Ottoman Empire. In 1915 Muslims killed many Armenians in the infamous massacre. In 1920 there were just 720 000 Armenians in Soviet Armenia. 1950: 1 347 200. 1965: 2 169 900. 1975: 2 799 700. 1991: 3 574 500. 2018: 3051000. No "conquered" and "oppressed" nation may triple its numbers. And after becoming independent in 1990 to this day, they lost about 500 000 to migration and other causes, that is a lot for a small 3-mln nation. So please think and analyza data before you speak nonsense again.
I was driving from Port Aransas to Austin, TX, and usually this trip takes 5 to 6 hours, not a very exciting landscape, rather monotonous, I found this composition among some others, I played over and over...In the end the entire trip felt like just one hour...It is that beautiful, that exciting.
Это был советский человек !!! В Советское время не было национальностей, Только то время создало великих артистов, дирижёров, композиторов и все они были советские люди!!!
@@zaslanec2273да, он был советским человеком, но не надо путать национальность и гражданство. Он армянин и армяне имеют полное право гордиться творчеством этого великого композитора по-особенному.
this makes me think of the grandeur in the late 19th century...the glittering balls and immense parties and a crowd being swept away in a waltz dancing, floating in those elegant halls of royalty and nobility
Ya'll can't tell me you don't imagine yourself as a misunderstood "villain" in a story having a heartfelt speech to the person who betrayed you a long time ago when you listen to this
This is a very bombastic piece so I imagine a terrorist plot with a touch of assassination and chaos. Panic, discordance, and absolute confusion. Like a cascading waterfall from a burst dam, I imagine the crowd scrambling to the doors.
Khachaturian was one of the first composers I became acquainted with as a child--through his piano concerto, which my mother had on a 78 rpm record set. It was so dramatic that we kids couldn't resist it--never heard the Masquerade Waltz until I was older. Nevertheless, this waltz reminds me of the Khachaturian I heard as a child!
Having heard this composition many times in my parents' house in Finland I coincidentally clicked on it, and keep on hearing it over and over again. Wonderful, a masterpiece!
Genius. Of the the Titans of music from the Soviet era and a gift to the world. I'm sure Armenians are extremely proud of this great great man. Thank you for posting.
Armenians, are not only proud of him, but proud of Yosuf Karsh, Aisvensovski, Victor Maghakian, Ernest Dervishian, Harry Kizirian, William Saroyan, Tarkanian, Agassi, Cher, and whole lot more.
Vahe Ohanian I loved Agassi I still do! And Cher is truly a gifted singer / actress.Sorry , but not too familiar w/ the rest you listed here.I'll study them!
Imagine all the people who haven’t heard this. People born before it’s composition and those who missed this afterwards. Damn people would pay to go to opera to hear this and here I am playing this 6th time.
ruskodisco people like you who are trying to be so nationalistic and narrow minded.His music is so great that it doesn't where he was born or his nationality.It belongs to everyone to witness his greatness.Everyone deserves to listen to this masterpiece.If everyone was like you and try to keep humans achievement to each own nation, humankind wouldn't have survived.
Wonderful and rousing! You can picture the ladies swinging around on the arms of their partners with the sound of the long dresses swishing. A truly delightful piece from a great Composer.
For 6 months I already am living in Yerevan and just right now I found this amazing and geniusly good composer and I even "have" a statue of him near the house! I heard this masterpiece before but just I didn't know it was the great Aram Kchacaturian! Now i'm proud that I am 1/4 Armenian! :)

Khachaturyan is a true Armenian genius, he brought Armenian music to the world. Listen to his violin concerto, Gayane (true Armenian), Spartacus. Love you Maestro

I cant change it, you cant change it just frim saying it that he isnt georgian and otherwise nobody. Thats politics in the sovietunion. Im sorry
He is an unappreciated musical genius! He and Prokofiev and Shostakovich were all denounced by the Soviet authorities, just for writing good music! (Under Stalin) Only later on was it was realized what geniuses all three of them were!!
Just noticed that this piece premiered in Moscow the day before Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union. Imagine being in that theater, entranced by the music and having no clue what's coming...
Masterpiece! He did not play with gentle introductions. From the very beginning serves spicy dish: Love, passion, infatuation. And finally, as in Russia and Russians literature must be tragedy and blood...
I just never get tired of hearing this WONDROUS piece of music. One of the all-time best waltzes. I've seen skaters ice dance to it, which must be a magical experience to take part in.
Still dance to this, fills my head and heart beautifully. Better than any drug or drink. So glad I heard it at a young age so I can enjoy it over my lifetime, 40 years now.
Classical music cleanses my ears. How wonderful it is to listen to this work of art, I truly feel like I'm in a great award-winning movie. Well, I really enjoy this music.
Greatest waltz of all... you have no idea how much I enjoy listening this... i feel like I'm flying and dancing in heaven with my beloved one and happiness around us, the smell of that place like roses, vanilla cake, and strawberries, it has pinky bluie and off-white color, we danced so amazingly, and we'll never get bored of dancing... love it feel the magic with me :)
I feel like people who listen to these are living in a whole different dimension like well, objectively this is something almost everybody would like But still i'd be so lost just looking for good pieces like this one
I personally fucking love Soviet classical music, and the sad thing is that most people at least where i live don't even know classical music was still being made by the time the Soviet Union became a thing
imagine you making your way into the ballroom, face carefully covered with an exquisite dark blue mask, the shade matching perfectly your dress. suddenly, you feel a light tap on your right arm. you turn your head, only to be met with your most notorious enemy. his eyes pierce through your soul, as he shamelessly extends his hand, asking you for a dance. you can sense the devious smile spread across his face even behind his mask. you take his hand and let him overtly spin you around the dance floor
Today i finally found this piece, that was invading my mind for a while (childhood memory), this composer is truly magnificent, happy to discover something New for me! And also i remember armenians for another positive thing, not the Horrors they went through in the genocide... Mad respect to All People, From all nations. Greetings From Colombia. Thanks for the upload!
oh come on people ! yes, he is Armenian ! yes, he has a Russian education! and the biggest truth, his works have no boundaries ! so do not share his or his works’ nationality, just enjoy !!!
@Bits海 100 %. As a matter of fact, turks are starting to claim that Komitas and Aivazovskiy are turkish too :), can you imagine the level of absurd? Meanwhile, Armenian whitewashed snowflakes are promoting some unnecessary, forced pseudo-liberalism on such a sensetive topic. You see, we would NOT have to claim A. Khachaturyan and the rest if there was no threat comming from our enemies.
Лермонтов, Поэт с душой в которой остались воспоминания невыразимых высот Божественного рая. И всё его творчество пронизано этим высоким светом. Даже в трагедии, и в смехе, и в слезах, везде, неуловимый радостный Божественный свет!
Лермонтов у которого душа была ?! Который с самого дества издевался над Мартыновым и обзывал его привсех плохими словами и когда у мартынова скипели нервы позвал его на дуэль ? как поэт слов нет он гений,а как человек лермонтов просто тварь.
Armenian, divine, Universal, Cosmic, citizen of the planet earth I hope the extraterrestial beings could listen to this masterpiece and to those high vibrations, I wish they could listen Tsaikowsky, Mozart, Vivaldi, Bethoven, so they can know that we do not only make wars or create suffering into each other but we create Art through that suffering, we create Love that makes our planet turn and stay alive, we could be more aware that Love transforms, heals, creates, where darkness destroys, we need more individuals to discover their Divine talent by accepting our darkness so it stops hurting the "others", we are the only species that hurt it's own kind and self distruct, only the love in the heart and aware darkness of thyself can bring awakeneing and self recognition.... I believe each one of us got a divine talent,but it is yet unawakened. Love Khachaturian❤
Ranks amongst the best waltzes every written. So much energy! (as long as it's played at this tempo - it loses something when played slower). But I just love this. My personal favourite.
He was very much admired by Stanley Kubrick, and Stanley loved Armenian composers and music, that he used his "Gayane" in the movie 2001: Space Odyssey.
Soy Gladys recien conoci esta suite y simplemente maravillosa la escuche en un tiktok con bailarines desde ese momento no he dejado de oirla gracias a las redes sociales ya que no hay otros medios o muy pocos soy de Chile con 74 años de vida y siempre la musica clasica presente gracias a la tecnologia
One of my favorite works of an Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. Yes, a Masquerade, everyone around, then and now wearing a mask hiding their true selves. Brilliant piece of a genius!
Это невероятно, гений этого человека перевернул этим утром представление о природе музыке как о нечто том что исходит не из разума человеческого, а из сознания превосходящего пределы нашего опыта. Привет из России, живите наслаждаясь подлинным искусством.
Whenever I hear this, in my mind I am wearing a very elegant dark blue taffeta ball gown. I am dancing with mature, striking man, who is perhaps not the usual idea of handsome, he has a strong nose and high cheekbones and has obviously seen quite a bit in his time in this world. I will never know all his secrets, nor does he need to know mine. As the dance goes on, the other dances all gradually move away as he and I sweep across the dance floor oblivious of all othersThat’s what this piece of music does to me.
You guessed a lot.This waltz is written to Lermontov's drama "Masquerade".The husband decided to kill his young wife, because he thinks that she is not faithful to him, this is the last waltz in her life, she is happy about the dance, but he has a premonition of death and feels an inner alarm.
From the last year and a half or so, I come here in a fairly regular basis, for a kind of a ritual: first I hear the waltz twice or three times, then I read this almost equally inspiring comment. And it is hard to say which one makes me feel better...
An amazing ability to create a marvelous music which emanates melodic intonations of Armenian musical beats, spirit, character and associated feelings. Those who have heard Armenian music, must be able to recognize the character and overall type of melody of that nation/culture in this cosmic masterpiece. This is such a universally strong creation that any intellect in cosmos out there will marvel hearing it, should its sound-waves reach them one day.
Who are you Hamlet? I found your comment of 5 years and in awe with the awareness in your spirit and the words you chose to describe this masterpiece!!! You just wrote what I feel when I listen to this melodies of Khachaturian, I am sure too that other intellects out in the infinite would be in total awe of those very Cosmic Universal beats and energy frequencies that are used by this genius humanoid. Much love to you from planet earth❤

The kind of music that plays in your head, when you walk into a family gathering or a wedding, assuming they are all serfs and you’re a Baltic German Baron, who also happens to be a general in the Romanov army of the Russian Tsar, while being escorted by a Georgian Prince, whose unfortunate descendants work in modern day Tbilisi as cab drivers or waiters.

Same thing with the great Americans, they may be of African or Jewish or Anglo-Saxon or Indian origins, but we consider them a part of American culture.
@@memmori1 Living somewhere doesnt make you that ethnos, especially when you are a hostage in the city of your oppressors. Stop trying to white wash the imperialistic conquest, occupation and exploitation of neighbouring nations of the Tsars and Soviets
@@mithridates5399 I don't need to "whitewash" anything that is not dirty. Before you open your mouth and speak, try to find a brain in your head, turn it on and think over those numbers. In 1897, there were 800 000-1000000 Arnenians in Ottoman Empire. In 1915 Muslims killed many Armenians in the infamous massacre. In 1920 there were just 720 000 Armenians in Soviet Armenia. 1950: 1 347 200. 1965: 2 169 900. 1975: 2 799 700. 1991: 3 574 500. 2018: 3051000. No "conquered" and "oppressed" nation may triple its numbers. And after becoming independent in 1990 to this day, they lost about 500 000 to migration and other causes, that is a lot for a small 3-mln nation. So please think and analyza data before you speak nonsense again.
I was driving from Port Aransas to Austin, TX, and usually this trip takes 5 to 6 hours, not a very exciting landscape, rather monotonous, I found this composition among some others, I played over and over...In the end the entire trip felt like just one hour...It is that beautiful, that exciting.
Thanks taytokitalove.

Una música incomparable.

El era ruso, hijo de armenios. Su música realmente maravillosa.
@@zaslanec2273Да.Тско је!
@@zaslanec2273да, он был советским человеком, но не надо путать национальность и гражданство. Он армянин и армяне имеют полное право гордиться творчеством этого великого композитора по-особенному.
Legendary and breathtaking. This is a masterpiece.
It is, most definitely indeed.
this makes me think of the grandeur in the late 19th century...the glittering balls and immense parties and a crowd being swept away in a waltz dancing, floating in those elegant halls of royalty and nobility
leftmebreathless79 no apologya to the aristocracy allow here.
Fuck good feeling partyes
And imagine how amazing it would be to live through that era....
leftmebreathless79 it inspires in me the same imagery but with a sense of great dread as though it were a horror movie
those balloon skirt and sleeves
Ya'll can't tell me you don't imagine yourself as a misunderstood "villain" in a story having a heartfelt speech to the person who betrayed you a long time ago when you listen to this
It will be The Batman who laughs for sure
I'm thinking differently. What I'm imagining is an assassin in masquerade slowly dancing his way to his target
This is a very bombastic piece so I imagine a terrorist plot with a touch of assassination and chaos. Panic, discordance, and absolute confusion. Like a cascading waterfall from a burst dam, I imagine the crowd scrambling to the doors.
In remember a scene from The Simpsons about Ukranian mob and the Waltz when the mobs heads wife was killed
Well that was oddly specific 😅😂
Khachaturian was one of the first composers I became acquainted with as a child--through his piano concerto, which my mother had on a 78 rpm record set. It was so dramatic that we kids couldn't resist it--never heard the Masquerade Waltz until I was older. Nevertheless, this waltz reminds me of the Khachaturian I heard as a child!
yes this is the last you have to hear from that option in uquiz, now go back to your option choice
How’d u know lmao
@@mennaalragaby8498 its a quiz on uquiz called "your role in a period drama"
lmao literally what i'm doing
Welp 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao. Ok but I love classical music so this is great for me.
Having heard this composition many times in my parents' house in Finland I coincidentally clicked on it, and keep on hearing it over and over again. Wonderful, a masterpiece!
Genius. Of the the Titans of music from the Soviet era and a gift to the world. I'm sure Armenians are extremely proud of this great great man. Thank you for posting.
Armenians, are not only proud of him, but proud of Yosuf Karsh, Aisvensovski, Victor Maghakian, Ernest Dervishian, Harry Kizirian, William Saroyan, Tarkanian, Agassi, Cher, and whole lot more.
Thanks for that - good reminders!
Let's not forget Charles Asnavour, the great French singer :-) By the way, I think you meant Ivan Aivazovsky, the painter?
Surely we are proud!
Vahe Ohanian I loved Agassi I still do! And Cher is truly a gifted singer / actress.Sorry , but not too familiar w/ the rest you listed here.I'll study them!
Imagine all the people who haven’t heard this. People born before it’s composition and those who missed this afterwards. Damn people would pay to go to opera to hear this and here I am playing this 6th time.
Ամեն անգամ լսելով մեր լեգենդար կոմպոզիտորին հպարտություն եմ զգում 🇦🇲✨
Khachaturian does not only belong to Armenia but also belongs to humanity.
ВЫ ПРАВЫЙ Композитор кого любят в Армении, России,Украине и других странах !!!!!!!! А этот ВАЛЬС -планетарного уровня!!!!!!!!
he was a georgia armenian born in tbilisi
Alexander Alex doesn’t matter where he was born. He was fully Armenian and is buried in Armenia too. Legendary composer
No. He belongs to Armenia.
ruskodisco people like you who are trying to be so nationalistic and narrow minded.His music is so great that it doesn't where he was born or his nationality.It belongs to everyone to witness his greatness.Everyone deserves to listen to this masterpiece.If everyone was like you and try to keep humans achievement to each own nation, humankind wouldn't have survived.
Wonderful and rousing! You can picture the ladies swinging around on the arms of their partners with the sound of the long dresses swishing. A truly delightful piece from a great Composer.
Ooo, Bob, steady on. Your remark is reinforcing sexual stereotypes. You could get in trouble for such sentiments these days.

For 6 months I already am living in Yerevan and just right now I found this amazing and geniusly good composer and I even "have" a statue of him near the house! I heard this masterpiece before but just I didn't know it was the great Aram Kchacaturian! Now i'm proud that I am 1/4 Armenian! :)

My music teacher, Mrs. Shamironashvili, was his best friend. I had a chance to listen to so much of his music. Was such an amazing experience.
ONEUS, a 5-membered k-pop boygroup sampled this song for their song 'I KNOW YOU KNOW', the final song for survival show ROAD TO KINGDOM: ACE OF ACE.
Yo tambien vine por esa
I am proud to say that this wonderful man is an uncle to my daughter in law. This music is so beautiful that it’s almost painful. I love the way the notes chase each other.
You are fortunate to have such a famous person in family
I came here to listen to this waltz and found out about Zhenya. Wow! What an amazing figure skater, and with so much raw emotion.
This music is truly Universal and simply timeless.
OMG I am proud to represent the same nation as Aram Khachaturian... Viva Armenia!!!!!!
Viva Armenia AND Viva Russia for that matter
This was written in 1941, which makes it all the more amazing when you consider what was going on at the time.
May fortune bless Armenia, the historical plaything of Rome, Persia, Mongolia, Turkey, Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and countless other imperial powers.
@@anastasiahey2327 Uh.. No, Aram does not represent Russia, only Armenia.
Dance with me!
Nothing expresses the emotion we feel when we first realize that we are in love better than this astounding masterpiece.
This is the most beautiful waltz I’ve ever heard,uplifting,joyful,powerful and emotional.
Khachaturyan is a true Armenian genius, he brought Armenian music to the world. Listen to his violin concerto, Gayane (true Armenian), Spartacus. Love you Maestro
He was georgian.

My Uncle was born in Georgia. His hole family came from Russia.
Although he has got a georgian passport, georgian citizenship and georgian Papers.
I cant change it, you cant change it just frim saying it that he isnt georgian and otherwise nobody.
Thats politics in the sovietunion. Im sorry
Dimitrij Shostakovich born 1906-1975 Aram Khachaturian born 1903-1978 Same destiny...
I had this piece all the day in the head. Pure magic moment.
The most emotional and beautiful waltz I have ever heard.
I do think of ghosts dancing as well.
He is an unappreciated musical genius! He and Prokofiev and Shostakovich were all denounced by the Soviet authorities, just for writing good music! (Under Stalin) Only later on was it was realized what geniuses all three of them were!!
Just noticed that this piece premiered in Moscow the day before Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union.
Imagine being in that theater, entranced by the music and having no clue what's coming...
Spectacular
Sounds grand
Him Armenian 🇦🇲
@@a.s.944 Who?
@@christurner6330 Aram Khachaturian
Masterpiece! He did not play with gentle introductions. From the very beginning serves spicy dish: Love, passion, infatuation. And finally, as in Russia and Russians literature must be tragedy and blood...
he is Armenian)
Yes! I forget! Forgive me please...
Totally agree with your comment!
Tomasz Wójcik he's Armenian just to let you know
Because they are that way! Passion and love and blood and feelings.
I just never get tired of hearing this WONDROUS piece of music. One of the all-time best waltzes. I've seen skaters ice dance to it, which must be a magical experience to take part in.
Can you give names? I'd enjoy watching routines.
This is how I got into classical music, Khachaturian is amazing.
Still dance to this, fills my head and heart beautifully. Better than any drug or drink. So glad I heard it at a young age so I can enjoy it over my lifetime, 40 years now.
Once hearing this, I've never felt this way before towards a waltz; amazing.
Classical music cleanses my ears. How wonderful it is to listen to this work of art, I truly feel like I'm in a great award-winning movie. Well, I really enjoy this music.
Absolutely sexy, evil, beautiful-all rolled up in one fabulous bow! Adore this piece forever.
Greatest waltz of all... you have no idea how much I enjoy listening this... i feel like I'm flying and dancing in heaven with my beloved one and happiness around us, the smell of that place like roses, vanilla cake, and strawberries, it has pinky bluie and off-white color, we danced so amazingly, and we'll never get bored of dancing... love it
feel the magic with me :)
I was a band and choir kid in school I’ve never hear an orchestra in person but I fall in love with every piece that I find
Now THIS is a waltz - The best of the best as of yet to come ...
I feel like people who listen to these are living in a whole different dimension like well, objectively this is something almost everybody would like
But still i'd be so lost just looking for good pieces like this one
I personally fucking love Soviet classical music, and the sad thing is that most people at least where i live don't even know classical music was still being made by the time the Soviet Union became a thing
imagine you making your way into the ballroom, face carefully covered with an exquisite dark blue mask, the shade matching perfectly your dress. suddenly, you feel a light tap on your right arm. you turn your head, only to be met with your most notorious enemy. his eyes pierce through your soul, as he shamelessly extends his hand, asking you for a dance. you can sense the devious smile spread across his face even behind his mask. you take his hand and let him overtly spin you around the dance floor
Shawty is in heat
Today i finally found this piece, that was invading my mind for a while (childhood memory), this composer is truly magnificent, happy to discover something New for me!
And also i remember armenians for another positive thing, not the Horrors they went through in the genocide... Mad respect to All People, From all nations.
Greetings From Colombia.
Thanks for the upload!
I always forget about this, then end up listening to it again. Always give me goosebumps, this is amazing
oh come on people ! yes, he is Armenian ! yes, he has a Russian education! and the biggest truth, his works have no boundaries ! so do not share his or his works’ nationality, just enjoy !!!
Let them be proud.
@Bits海 ?
@Bits海 😆
@Bits海 100 %. As a matter of fact, turks are starting to claim that Komitas and Aivazovskiy are turkish too :), can you imagine the level of absurd? Meanwhile, Armenian whitewashed snowflakes are promoting some unnecessary, forced pseudo-liberalism on such a sensetive topic. You see, we would NOT have to claim A. Khachaturyan and the rest if there was no threat comming from our enemies.

Лермонтов, Поэт с душой в которой остались воспоминания невыразимых высот Божественного рая. И всё его творчество пронизано этим высоким светом. Даже в трагедии, и в смехе, и в слезах, везде, неуловимый радостный Божественный свет!
Лермонтов у которого душа была ?! Который с самого дества издевался над Мартыновым и обзывал его привсех плохими словами и когда у мартынова скипели нервы позвал его на дуэль ? как поэт слов нет он гений,а как человек лермонтов просто тварь.
Armenian, divine, Universal, Cosmic, citizen of the planet earth I hope the extraterrestial beings could listen to this masterpiece and to those high vibrations, I wish they could listen Tsaikowsky, Mozart, Vivaldi, Bethoven, so they can know that we do not only make wars or create suffering into each other but we create Art through that suffering, we create Love that makes our planet turn and stay alive, we could be more aware that Love transforms, heals, creates, where darkness destroys, we need more individuals to discover their Divine talent by accepting our darkness so it stops hurting the "others", we are the only species that hurt it's own kind and self distruct, only the love in the heart and aware darkness of thyself can bring awakeneing and self recognition....
I believe each one of us got a divine talent,but it is yet unawakened. Love Khachaturian❤
Ranks amongst the best waltzes every written. So much energy! (as long as it's played at this tempo - it loses something when played slower). But I just love this. My personal favourite.
Это больше,чем талант. Это гениальность. Я поражаюсь, как Человек способен создать подобное ! Настоящее искусство🇦🇲❤️🩹
He was very much admired by Stanley Kubrick, and Stanley loved Armenian composers and music, that he used his "Gayane" in the movie 2001: Space Odyssey.
Setting ballet choreography as we speak! Proud half Armenian ❤️
Soy Gladys recien conoci esta suite y simplemente maravillosa la escuche en un tiktok con bailarines desde ese momento no he dejado de oirla gracias a las redes sociales ya que no hay otros medios o muy pocos soy de Chile con 74 años de vida y siempre la musica clasica presente gracias a la tecnologia
Wow! I am in total awe! Divine! Had never heard this before. It made me cry from so much emotion, beauty, tragedy. I have no words. I am speechless.
One of my favorite works of an Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. Yes, a Masquerade, everyone around, then and now wearing a mask hiding their true selves. Brilliant piece of a genius!
Это невероятно, гений этого человека перевернул этим утром представление о природе музыке как о нечто том что исходит не из разума человеческого, а из сознания превосходящего пределы нашего опыта. Привет из России, живите наслаждаясь подлинным искусством.
Whenever I hear this, in my mind I am wearing a very elegant dark blue taffeta ball gown. I am dancing with mature, striking man, who is perhaps not the usual idea of handsome, he has a strong nose and high cheekbones and has obviously seen quite a bit in his time in this world. I will never know all his secrets, nor does he need to know mine. As the dance goes on, the other dances all gradually move away as he and I sweep across the dance floor oblivious of all othersThat’s what this piece of music does to me.
You guessed a lot.This waltz is written to Lermontov's drama "Masquerade".The husband decided to kill his young wife, because he thinks that she is not faithful to him, this is the last waltz in her life, she is happy about the dance, but he has a premonition of death and feels an inner alarm.
My goodness this is intriguing!
From the last year and a half or so, I come here in a fairly regular basis, for a kind of a ritual: first I hear the waltz twice or three times, then I read this almost equally inspiring comment. And it is hard to say which one makes me feel better...
@@woodencaptain Thank you. Your comment made me cry
@@maggymagliano5217 Let's pretend I have strong nose and high cheekbones...
An amazing ability to create a marvelous music which emanates melodic intonations of Armenian musical beats, spirit, character and associated feelings. Those who have heard Armenian music, must be able to recognize the character and overall type of melody of that nation/culture in this cosmic masterpiece. This is such a universally strong creation that any intellect in cosmos out there will marvel hearing it, should its sound-waves reach them one day.
Who are you Hamlet? I found your comment of 5 years and in awe with the awareness in your spirit and the words you chose to describe this masterpiece!!!
You just wrote what I feel when I listen to this melodies of Khachaturian, I am sure too that other intellects out in the infinite would be in total awe of those very Cosmic Universal beats and energy frequencies that are used by this genius humanoid. Much love to you from planet earth❤
Hi Harmony, I am so happy that you are able to share the feeling. On this earth the rich are those who live by spirit.
С возрастом у нас меняются вкусы и это замечательно. Я полюбил классику . Не знаю что именно с нами происходит . Хорошо что ест такие произведения. Все мы уйдем а прекрасное останется. Я искренне рад тому что это прекрасное дошло до нас.
The kind of music that plays in your head, when you walk into a family gathering or a wedding, assuming they are all serfs and you’re a Baltic German Baron, who also happens to be a general in the Romanov army of the Russian Tsar, while being escorted by a Georgian Prince, whose unfortunate descendants work in modern day Tbilisi as cab drivers or waiters.
zhenya is using this for her new program!!!
My God listening to this masterpiece like soul disappear, we are proud of Aram, i wish i was born at his time and could see him once in my life, ❤❤❤🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
One of the best waltz's ever composed!
i’m listening to this bc we have to play it in orchestra and now i wanna cry this music is so complicated
Oh no, listening to us is a beauty, BUT PLAYING IT...that's gonna be hard...I feel bad for you. Did the concert happen yet?
Masterful execution of such dynamism, romantism, militaristic motives and then soft underlinings❤ ONE OF, IF NOT THE BEST, WALTZES I've listened to
