The Fall of the House of Usher brought me here. I was expecting something a little darker and more sinister. I wish someone would upload a video of what they think Ushers' terrifying "perversion" of this peace.
I know what you mean. For instance, take Nikita Koshkin's "Usher Waltz". It's a weird virtuoso piece but, personally, I find it too baroque for a tune that was supposed to be insanely monotonic/repetitive, made up exclusively within the few notes Usher could endure; some of the works of Agustin Barrios ("Prelude in Cm" or the very prelude of "La Catedral") are closer to what I imagine as Usher's improvisations. I've been a great fan of his character for over 20 years; I even want to attempt writing myself an Usher- themed guitar piece someday.
RepublicofEthan I expected something else too but eventually I find this music sticks to the sick ambience. Now lets take a look at some fuseli's painting
Do you think a funeral would be become more tetric and distressing with "sad" or with "happy" music? Think about it, it's obvious that a funeral has this sort of dark atmosphere, you could even imagine the sound of the rain hitting the umbrellas. Even so, the romantic era believes that a sunny, beautiful day would make an ironic effect between the inner sadness and the apparent joy. This struggle is a constant in romantic art, transforming the way we understand the concepts of sadness, depression, insanity, chaos...
I'm searching around trying to find the first song in Barbara Barber "Solos for Young Violinists" Vol. 5 but I found this instead and now I'm trying to learn it by ear 😂
If you are looking for a more appropriate version to complement the Poe story try the piano version. It definitely relates better to the description in the story (though you may still have to imagine it being playing within the setting of the House of Usher and by Roderick, it seems darker if you imagine the person playing it to have lost their mind)
I feel like this almost sounds like an army marching into battle, and then the ensuing battle. But the overall tone is one of defeat and foolish bravery, though ultimately the hero has to stand alone, aka the single cornet. Also, the discord within the peace, and the "jumbled sound" it creates plays into The Fall of the House of Usher, because you can never definitively get your ground.
Well... This is suitably gothic and dark such that one might develop, "a certain singular perversion and amplification of the wild air of the last waltz of Von Weber." I can feel the chills all over my skin... NOT! Like most others, The Fall of the House of Usher brought me here. Although, the waltz does rather sound... Given up on. Dead before it's even begun. That one single cornet just sounds quite pathetic against what might have been composed. A little like Usher I suppose. But even so.
I was too led on to believe that the piece would be darker. However, I think Poe was alluding to the piece's history; the piece itself is not dark, rather, there is a dark history behind it, which is amplified through Poe's friend. What I mean by history is that the script for the song was found in Weber's belongings after his death. Although not written by him (perhaps it was thought to be at the time of his death), it has since then been known as "The Last Waltz." Suffice to say, the piece is known as the last song of a dead man. With that said, I believe it is used simply to foreshadow death, implying it to be Roderick's last song before his death.

Por lo visto, Poe nos atrajo a todos hasta aquí. Glorioso!
Parece que sí
Pues sí
Así es
Me sorprende cómo es que Poe trajo a tantas persona a escuchar esta música.
Es que Poe es mucho Poe..
Así es!
Well, 2022 and The Fall of the House of Usher keep’s bringing people to this video hahaha. Simply fantastic.

Thanks Poe ❣️
Al igual que los demás, me trajo Poe por el cuento de La caída de la casa Usher
Poeists must add a certain singular perversion and amplification to it of course
igual que yo, y hasta tenia miedo que fuera un vals perverso y asombroso hehe
En una narrativa de Poe es mencionado este vals,en la caída de la casa Usher.⭐💐👌
Ciertamente no es siniestro,pero sí comunica la sensación de una grandiosa caída. Saludos a todos los fans de Poe
I would like to know if this is the waltz that Poe metioned in The Fall f The House Of Usher. Thanks beforehand.
Yessss
Gracias poe

Poe haciendo lo suyo 💜

Sinister enough for Poe's time and likes🎉
Viva à Queda da Casa dos Usher! More one brazilian soul influenced deeply by Poe's tales.

@@lifeofcee6125 Brilliant interpretation!
Tutti qui per aver letto "Il crollo della Casa degli Usher"
意外な曲。
Rip that intonation and articulation though
i think they should have kissed in my opinion
