I'm glad you've recovered your hearing! It is good to listen to music. It's a gift to the ears. May I recommend The Hurrian Hymn? Tis a beautiful song.
Lame Oedipus That is exactly what I was thinking! Even though the melody is joyful/sweet, it has this deep sense of sadness behind it. It feels like as if you’re actually living in the 1930’s of Soviet Union.
Exactly! Everytime I hear this I feel nostalgic also, as if I had memories of dancing to this song in my festive dress on a ball with my comrades in Russia. However none of that ever happened.
I can picture a man before WWII looking at the happy couples dancing from a far on a warm summer night, perhaps indeed, a bit intoxicated, recalling times before this era, before his love interest of "noble" origin was forced to emigrate, before the old world that he still feels part of, dissipated. And he can see these people still falling in love and living their lives now in this moment despite everything but he is an outsider somehow, unable or unwilling to fit in.
This waltz is heartbreaking. It's the saddest waltz in the history. The music tells a story. It's starts with a pain, some glorious moments in the middle and ends with a pain.
I suspect that much modern 'classical' music will die long before that. I cannot understand that some music is deemed 'classical' because it is played on classical instruments.
@unapologetic s apologies, for it was meant to be interpreted in a joking way, as _play with keyboard_ gave me a good chuckle when showing the baby meme, but with a keyboard :D I just thought the profile picture was clever...no insults intended
Russian music during the late-Romantic/neo-classical periods is so unique, it’s almost alien. It really is one of the few things that can’t be described, it can only be understood after being experienced.
@@gintozlato1880 The opposite actually, the white bar is way higher up compared to most other songs. Which means the entire thing is both replayed more than most other songs, so the entire thing is distinctive.
When someone is talking about how sad he looks on all photos... Remember that this man went through the WW2, while living in surrounded city, where people died every day because of starving and cold. And even with this, he continued to write musik and give concerts
It's more of a cultural difference. In eastern Europe you smile only if there's a reason to smile. And smiling for formal photos isn't something that people do.
A lot of people comment on how upset Shostakovich always looks in photos, and he had a lot of reason to be, but I think it's kind of sweet that the only photos ever of him smiling is when hes with his daughter.
@@vincentdreemurr He was not a huge supporter of the USSR/Soviet government, but was apart of it as it allowed him to create his music. Despite being apart of the Soviet party, he had many disagreements with what they did and said, but was influenced to speak and act in favor of the government. On top of this, during the Great Terror in 1936, many of his friends and family members were executed.

I write music, it's performed. It can be heard, and whoever wants to hear it will. After all, my music says it all. It doesn't need historical and hysterical commentaries. In the long run, any words about music are less important than the music.“ ( Dmitry Shostakovich)
When he wasn’t busy with music, he served as a firefighter in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), that was bombed and shelled by nazis every day. Comrade Shostakovich was a tough guy and a genius.
Сегодня 25 сентября 1906 года родился гениальнейший автор этой великолепной музыки - Дмитрий Шостакович!!!! Слава гению!!! 25 сентября 2023 года. Bravo!!!
On ne s'en lasse jamais d'écouter ce chef-d'œuvre musical. Shostakovish est un génie qui su allier la joie et la mélancolie ,sa musique nous transporte dans une autre dimension hors du temps
Only someone with a deep sense of life and harmony could compose such a beautiful and touching music like this one(с) hm ... Shostakovich himself did not take this work seriously. During his lifetime he did not like to remember it and never published it. How beautiful his works must be that we are not able to understand or perceive.
I love this song but objectively no. Again, I love this song so much and listen to it on repeat but it isn’t the greatest work of instrumental music ever.
Vielen Dank Herr Gössel, sie waren ab der 5. Klasse mein Musiklehrer. Ich hatte den besten Musikunrerricht bei Ihnen, den man hätte haben können. Ihre Art und Weise des Unrerrichts und uns in jungen Jahren solche Musik nahe zulegen und die Emotionen dahinter zu erklären haben mich wahrlich geformt und in meiner Wahrnehmung geprägt. Ich denke sie sind schon lange von uns gegangen aber Vielen Dank das sie mir beigerbacht haben solche Meisterwerke und Künstler zu schätzen und fühlen zu können

You should see the live video of this being performed by Andre Rieu with orchestra. The entire crowd, which seemed to be hundreds, was singing & dancing along!
I have just discovered the name of this composer of this beautiful waltz. It is a very poignant yet calming waltz. I had the melody in my head but didn’t know the identity of this Russian composer. I find it mesmerising . Shostakovich I salute you.
I danced this piece on my Quinceanera party , thanks to my Dad, he spent many days chosing carefully the perfect waltz for me. Shostakovich = Brilliant ✨ Best wishes from Iztapalapa to the world 😸🇲🇽
If someone is getting confused why do they see this in their recommendations... Beg your pardon. Totally my fault. Watched that video about 435 539 times.
A pain in my heart when i'm listening to this. A feeling of having to do what i must..before my time is over. How can music cause so many feelings. . .
The greatest compliment given to any music is that it evokes an emotional response. Great composers like Shostakovich were masters at this. We are all the better for it.
because it's divine. it's abstract yet so real. it can trigger all senses, emotions, memories and feelings. we as a human kind may seem to have many features that distinguishes us from animals but it's like music distinguishes us from being people...
Доброе утро, всем слушателям и читателям этого комментария. Слушая эту музыку, какое-то ностальгическое чудо происходит, хотя мне 19. Наверное,это я в детстве где-то слышал и где-то под созданием остался этот замечательный шедевр. Желаю всем вам долголетие, счастья и всего наилучшего!!!
I am a music addict, I listen to all kinds of music I can get my hands on, and I always go back to the classics. I feel like my heart has soared and left sadness behind.
You don’t need to be classical music snob to recognize a solid tune! It’s both joyous and sad at the same time. Yet this is the only time I paid money for a tune through Apple Music! It plays every time I connect my phone to my car and this comes on. I’ve heard this more than anyone out there! (Very likely it’s true!, I drive a lot 😅) Absolutely delightful in so many ways. I love a lot of different songs/Melodie yet this one never gets old. Probably my favorite of all the melodies out there!
***** One could argue that almost everything of cultural importance happened in the European part of Russia while hardly anything of public recognition apart from natural resource production happened in the Asian part
I was walking ereyesterday along the river here in Strasbourg, and there was a man on the other side of the river playing this waltz on the accordion. Since then I can't stop humming it. I know Shostakovich was an author of serious and mighty music, but I personally reckon this little piece is the best thing he's ever written.
Imagine, waking up in Vienna, its snowing outside, you walk through your small cozy apartment with the fireplace casting a jumping light over your room. You make yourself a cup of hot tea, and listen to Waltz No 2 in-front of your window overlooking a busy morning market. You begin your day of work, possibly in some sort of visual art, maybe your a learning chef hoping to develop your craft and open your own bistro. :) As a St. Petersburg born teenager (15) currently living near Chicago, I can vouch for the fact that I love Europe far more than the United States. I love history, and Europe is filled with it, everyone is entitled to their own opinion (mine might be a tad biased :)) but the big cities of America are not for me, I would take a small town in Piedmont or Brittany any day of the year. Anyone care to agree or disagree?
I always thought it was funny to learn that the REPAIRS on the Colosseum in Rome were made before the US existed. Puts things into perspective. Also, hello from Chicago, neighbor. Let me guess, you're someone south like Palos?
"when i heard them, the soviets of stalingrand, after so many months of siege without electricity and starvation surrounded by german army, playing music (Sostakovich, waltz no2) on the speakers turned to our positions... right then i unsterstood that we would never capture this city and that finally we will loose this war." diary of german soldier, found 65 years after the siege of Stalingrand.
@@thanhnguyenang6503 not true. However, this is a rather interesting story. This Waltz was a part of "suite for variety orchestra", composed in 1956. Until recently, this entire suite was incorrectly identified as his "suite for jazz orchestra no 2", which was composed in 1938. (The records were lost during ww2). The real suite for jazz orchestra no 2, which was later found, did not contain this waltz.
@@MaybeRuski btw I'm actually planning to go to music school to learn more about Shostakovich's music. I'm pretty scared right now. Do you think it's a good idea?
I listened a lot to this when I was like 9 because my granddad gave me a classical music cd. I must've lost interest somehow but listening to this for the fist time in 10-11 years has made my body go "wwwtttfffff this is soooooo fucking Goooooooooooddddd" also a bit sad because I can't share this with him anymore
+lGalaxisl Don't worry that you cannot share this with the fysical him anymore. Might sound somewhat cliche, but he will always be with you within your heart and mind. You can honour him by just listening to it and enjoy it the way he probably did ^_^

Този валс ще е вечен и ще вълнува човечеството зЗа музиката няма граници Музиката р послание, че можем да живеем всички с красота и разбирателство❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
But I like old Royale High music, which is this (like srsly this actually WAS in RH for a bit then it got replaced with something else, I wish it stood tbh)
What the hell, this is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard. I literally stopped looking my calculus notes, and checked what song was playing.
Yea same I just had to close The World as Will and Representation as well as Critique of Pure reason and stopped writing a Thesis on the dispatuate dichotomy between our instinctive moral senses and the abstract moral extention of man and animal to check what song was playing.
Eight years since I first discovered this piece, and what an interesting eight years it's been. Out of all the things that have kept me going, I think this song has had the most effect on me, personally. I can't express the overwhelming joy and relaxation that hits me when I hear the Second Waltz, it's like the world just sloughs off my shoulders, and I feel at peace as I get lost in the rhythm of the music. Thank you, Wicked North, for this one video I can always come back to, and find comfort in.
Morbid, elegant, mesmerizing, energetic. A labyrinth of ideas, in which a man can loose himself or reinvent the entire world. Just like Vienna before WW1. I can see why Kubrick chose it for Eyes Wide Shut.
www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/morbid 1. (vom körperlichen Zustand) nicht sehr widerstandsfähig; kränklich, angekränkelt *2. (vom inneren, sittlichen, moralischen Zustand) im Verfall begriffen, brüchig* English translation: 1. (from physical condition) not very resistant; sickly, offended *2. (from the inner, moral, ethical state) decaying, fragile* Your frog avatar self should also recognize the English equivalent to the German "sittlich heruntergekommen", which can be roughly translated as *degenerate*. And the sickliness of morbidity has also a mental component to it which I would find in Shakespeares Hamlet: "Der angebor'nen Farbe der Entschließung/Wird des Gedankens Blässe angekränkelt" - "And thus the native hue of resolution/Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought" I especially love the morbidity in the song, because it encapsulates the development of the mind, the irrationality, insanity, vitality of that city which at one time was home to Hitler, Freud and Lenin in close proximity to one another and which should become the epicenter of the downfall of the old world order and the rise of the new. Also the core of that spirit or Zeitgeist which enraptured the soles of those that rushed to the battlefields of WW 1, each German soldier with Thus Spoke Zarathustra in his knapsack, to seek glory and find the slaughterhouse and the downfall of the true order of Europe which some merely call the old one. But also the spirit of the October Revolution and all totalitarian states systems, including our own by the way, of modernity that followed. I really love the song. There is so much richness to be discovered in itself, its story of creation and origin. IN MEMORIAM. I hope this helps.
I solemnly swear this song and video helped save my life when i time traveled in 2009 ❤🙏 come back please Stevie , the world will never be the same without you and your loved ones 🦋🌎🦋

During his lifetime he did not like to remember it and never published it.
How beautiful his works must be that we are not able to understand or perceive.

I agree!
A pain in my heart when i'm listening to this. A feeling of having to do what i must..before my time is over. How can music cause so many feelings. . .
The greatest compliment given to any music is that it evokes an emotional response. Great composers like Shostakovich were masters at this. We are all the better for it.
yes Sir, you are right, I have the same impression as I just done here expressed before, please look at my comment !
because it's divine. it's abstract yet so real. it can trigger all senses, emotions, memories and feelings. we as a human kind may seem to have many features that distinguishes us from animals but it's like music distinguishes us from being people...

You don’t need to be classical music snob to recognize a solid tune!
It’s both joyous and sad at the same time. Yet this is the only time I paid money for a tune through Apple Music! It plays every time I connect my phone to my car and this comes on. I’ve heard this more than anyone out there! (Very likely it’s true!, I drive a lot 😅)
Absolutely delightful in so many ways. I love a lot of different songs/Melodie yet this one never gets old.

I was walking ereyesterday along the river here in Strasbourg, and there was a man on the other side of the river playing this waltz on the accordion. Since then I can't stop humming it. I know Shostakovich was an author of serious and mighty music, but I personally reckon this little piece is the best thing he's ever written.
C'est pour cela que cette valse n°2 a eu le prix Staline en 1940...dans nos pays personne ne s'en vante.!

Imagine, waking up in Vienna, its snowing outside, you walk through your small cozy apartment with the fireplace casting a jumping light over your room. You make yourself a cup of hot tea, and listen to Waltz No 2 in-front of your window overlooking a busy morning market. You begin your day of work, possibly in some sort of visual art, maybe your a learning chef hoping to develop your craft and open your own bistro. :) As a St. Petersburg born teenager (15) currently living near Chicago, I can vouch for the fact that I love Europe far more than the United States. I love history, and Europe is filled with it, everyone is entitled to their own opinion (mine might be a tad biased :)) but the big cities of America are not for me, I would take a small town in Piedmont or Brittany any day of the year. Anyone care to agree or disagree?
I agree wholeheartedly
I live in Austria. It really is an Interresting place. I want to move to St Petersburg tho because i like it even more XD
I always thought it was funny to learn that the REPAIRS on the Colosseum in Rome were made before the US existed. Puts things into perspective. Also, hello from Chicago, neighbor. Let me guess, you're someone south like Palos?

You're talking about the Leningrad symphony (symphony no 7), not this one. This waltz was composed in 1956.
@NZC_Meow yup, you are correct
This Waltz was composed in 1938
@@NZC_Meow
@@thanhnguyenang6503 not true. However, this is a rather interesting story.
This Waltz was a part of "suite for variety orchestra", composed in 1956. Until recently, this entire suite was incorrectly identified as his "suite for jazz orchestra no 2", which was composed in 1938. (The records were lost during ww2).
The real suite for jazz orchestra no 2, which was later found, did not contain this waltz.

Morbid, elegant, mesmerizing, energetic. A labyrinth of ideas, in which a man can loose himself or reinvent the entire world. Just like Vienna before WW1. I can see why Kubrick chose it for Eyes Wide Shut.
question.. how can a song be morbid? excuse my ignorance
@Brian Hall greetings from kekistan, brother
Was vienna better before wwi because it was free of serbian corpses? I’m half german and half kekistani so I’m just wondering.
www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/morbid
1. (vom körperlichen Zustand) nicht sehr widerstandsfähig; kränklich, angekränkelt
*2. (vom inneren, sittlichen, moralischen Zustand) im Verfall begriffen, brüchig*
English translation:
1. (from physical condition) not very resistant; sickly, offended
*2. (from the inner, moral, ethical state) decaying, fragile*
Your frog avatar self should also recognize the English equivalent to the German "sittlich heruntergekommen", which can be roughly translated as *degenerate*.
And the sickliness of morbidity has also a mental component to it which I would find in Shakespeares Hamlet: "Der angebor'nen Farbe der Entschließung/Wird des Gedankens Blässe angekränkelt" - "And thus the native hue of resolution/Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought"
I especially love the morbidity in the song, because it encapsulates the development of the mind, the irrationality, insanity, vitality of that city which at one time was home to Hitler, Freud and Lenin in close proximity to one another and which should become the epicenter of the downfall of the old world order and the rise of the new. Also the core of that spirit or Zeitgeist which enraptured the soles of those that rushed to the battlefields of WW 1, each German soldier with Thus Spoke Zarathustra in his knapsack, to seek glory and find the slaughterhouse and the downfall of the true order of Europe which some merely call the old one. But also the spirit of the October Revolution and all totalitarian states systems, including our own by the way, of modernity that followed. I really love the song. There is so much richness to be discovered in itself, its story of creation and origin.
IN MEMORIAM.
I hope this helps.
