Very interesting and illuminating. I've often wondered why Schoenberg (+ Webern and Berg) nearly always seem to have the brass section play with mutes.
Dear Thomas, I am very happily going through your Orchestration 101 through 104 courses, I wonder when do you plan to update them with the much needed brass and percussion courses? Thank you, as a young composer and orchestrator your courses and youtube videos mean much to me.
Hi Ante, probably next year for Orchestration 105: The Brass Section, and then 106: Concert Horns & Band Horns coming pretty quickly after that, maybe also 107: The Heavy Brass.
"Intense chesty sound" ... that's it! I am going to use this in my cello lessons! Just need to find a good translation in Italian! "Intenso suono di petto?" mmm ... too many possible references to bad jokes, but maybe "Profondo suono pettorale!", sounds epic as well! Brilliant! Thanks!
In case anyone's curious about Schoenberg's "ungentlemanly" comments towards Maurice Ravel, here's what he said about Ravel, Bizet, and Stravinsky (an odd grouping, to be sure): "Now comes the reckoning! Now we will throw these mediocre kitschmongers into slavery, and teach them to venerate the German spirit and to worship the German God"
Thank you so much, Thomas!
So glad you liked it, Ethan!

Great stuff. Maybe you can have a look at his great Bach orchestrations. You can find so many genious things in them....

@@OrchestrationOnline I'm looking forward to that!
good videos but I'd like to point out that the links in the description are for Pictures at an Exhibition

Pectorally yours, Thomas Goss.
Can you do a series on Suite if Symphonies by Mouret (fanfare #1) Rondeau (the Masterpiece Theater Opening Theme)
Great, thank you! (You put the wrong useful links in the descriptions of your new Schoenberg videos, and the first link is broken.)

Sometimes it's enough just to know that one's heroes have dirty underwear. Not always necessary to hang it on a pole. :)
Schoenberg's a messy bitch who loves drama, and that's tea.
