The viola part is simply so freaking difficult in the Hero's Battlefield part. We are literally playing near our maximum extension and shifting for a Viola!
I just went to a Curtis rehearsal where they played this and it sounded amazing. The percussion teacher at my school is a pro and gets work with the Curtis Symphony often

5:20 I like how the bass clarinet is playing an octave higher than the clarinets (Yes, higher in terms of actual sounding pitch) in the melody. I think he did this because both instruments (or all 3) use more of the instrument that way creating a fuller sound, but I'm just guessing.
Yes, it's an interesting voicing. He does this kind of thing from time to time. In his Symphony No.2 Strauss begins the piece with cellos playing an octave higher than the violas.
tomekkobialka there’s also a pedal F (concert Bb1) being played by the 6th horn at one part, and near the end, the cornets play a written C3, also a pedal note.
idk, (post) modernism and post romanticism is my favorite. so we have people like sibelius, mahler, strauss, then shostakovich, prokofiev, ginastera, ligeti, then we have some really cool composers like tan dun, and one of my friends, ophat taerattanachai.
Whaterver may be said,this is the unachievable performance of this masterpiece.Listen to the lastest minutes,when the hero's brain and heart become the first violin, the latest thoghts and the instant of his death.Superbly played.💓from Milano.

Richard Strauss wrote this work for the conductor Willem Mengelberg and his orchestra. You can hear Mengelberg's 1928 recording of it on RUclips. The title of the video is . It is a fantastic, wonderful performance. Much better than this one I dare say.
Could anyone tell me why Strauss tells the Es Clar. to play those notes at the 2nd bar of the figure 3, ( 1:05 )? I don't think the audience can hear it.
Someone once asked Strauss what Ein Heldenleben (A hero's life) was really all about. Strauss, with tongue firmly in cheek, said "Oh, it autobiographical.
In the second movement, why give the bass clarinet the upper range and give the Bb clarinet the lower range? As a bass clarinetist, I personally like it, but I don't really understand why make the other clarinets play the lower range with the double bass

I fell for that Kraftstelle (ALL 8 horns at ca. 26:50) when I first heard this piece 50 years ago. Still gets me.
as solo horn Geird Seifert and Norbert Hauptmann
The whole piece still gets me and I've known it since I was a kid, starting with the Mengelberg recording 70+ years ago.

Could you give timestamp?

20:16 Also, are those 2nd violins playing a Gb? The lowest string on the violin is the G directly above that.
Yes, it's an interesting voicing. He does this kind of thing from time to time. In his Symphony No.2 Strauss begins the piece with cellos playing an octave higher than the violas.
If you notice at 18:38, Strauss tells the 2nd violins to tune the G string down to a Gb.
tomekkobialka oh. There’s so much going on that it’s nearly impossible to understand what’s going on at any given moment.
tomekkobialka there’s also a pedal F (concert Bb1) being played by the 6th horn at one part, and near the end, the cornets play a written C3, also a pedal note.
I've always loved the beginning of Des Helden Widersacher (The Hero's Adversaries)
Ain't the Romantic Period the best?
couldn’t agree more, gustav 😎👌👌
Romantic period is always the best. And that’s why Liszt existed in that period

Hey love your ninth symphony
32:49 must be some of the most beautiful music ever written
All credit to the amazing Michel Schwalbé for the solo violin part.

Wow thank you very much!
My favourite Strauss' composition alongside with Don Quixote
Bro, the chord after 44:53 is so out it sounds like they changed tuning systems
G R A N D I S S I M O !
the best orchestrator of all times
30:32 best part
#This is a very hard tune#
I agree. Very hard to play, very hard to follow the huge score(a person could easily get lost) and very hard to listen to.
Why does this part 17:33 - 18:00 sound so familiar? It's as if many Romantic symphonic pieces have something of a melody or a moment like this ...
16:50 isn't that a quote from Siegfried Idyll?
It shows up in Don Quixote as well.
I love this piece but DAMN RUclips breaks in every 5 min with a STRING of ads
33:17 the horn/cello part can also be head in death and transfiguration fun fact
Haha many things in that section came from Strauss’s previous works: Don Juan, don quixote, till eulenspiegel, death & transfiguration, etc.
0:36 Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Edwin `Buzz' Aldrin: Three men to represent
the culmination of a dream and the beginning of a new concept in reality.

I don't think the audience can hear it.
16:45 chills
Oh yes!
I still can't get over the fact that he wrote a piece called A Hero's Life and then included autobiographic references in it. Bit immodest.
It's not about him
i'd say that 29:31 is hero's works of peace and 34:15 is The withdrawal
I agree
Someone once asked Strauss what Ein Heldenleben (A hero's life) was really all about. Strauss, with tongue firmly in cheek, said "Oh, it autobiographical.
Pure scary genius!!!
When you want to give the concertmaster a mini violin concerto.

Where is the passage where the second violins have to play a g flat ?
2:25
In the second movement, why give the bass clarinet the upper range and give the Bb clarinet the lower range? As a bass clarinetist, I personally like it, but I don't really understand why make the other clarinets play the lower range with the double bass
tone.
The high clarinets playing low darkens the double bass part.
@@gammafoxlore2981 That makes sense
I always loved this tone poem. But it Reszniceck jinxed it for me a bit after I heard "Der Sieger".
Why?
Who knows the name of the concertmaster in this recording?
Bankai: Kinshara Butodan

31:21 Is that Don Quixote???
31:35 Is that The Merry Pranks too?!
