heyo, thank you so much for all of these, is it possible for you to reupload Beethoven Symphony number 7 in A major Op.92? Thank youuu
@@romanobrien why?
@@dhu2056 because their video of symphony #7 isn't available anymore and I need it for music class and their video was the only one that had the whole symphony with the score behind it, which is really helpful for studying :))
@@romanobrien I'm pretty sure the video is still there..
sehr schön und auch ein sehr schöne Profilbild ( habe auch so einen Kater " Uschi Lamusch " heisst er )
This should have millions of views, what music!
One of the last works Beethoven wrote before he became aware of his encroaching deafness, the Septet is a lighthearted work in the spirit of the eighteenth century serenade. Beethoven had it premiered in the same concert in which he unveiled his Symphony No. 1. The Septet was an immediate success, and the composer later expressed a certain resentment toward this work, remarking that it's popularity eclipsed more deserving compositions. Nevertheless, the Septet is an interesting work, filled with youthful energy and containing engaging and attractive solos for the instrumentalists. The first of the work's six movements is a slow and deliberate introduction prefacing a fresh and energetic Allegro con brio. The first subject is carried initially by the violin, then by the clarinet. The second theme brings several other instruments into a dialogue, but is essentially ignored in the development section; after an elaboration of a fragmented version of the first theme, the development section closes in the right key but without a true recapitulation. In the Adagio cantabile, Beethoven shifts to the key of A flat, introducing a tranquil, swaying melody, which the clarinet and violin each play. The other instruments are generally limited to colorful support, except when the horn takes a tentative melodic lead. The Minuet borrows its main theme from Beethoven's Piano Sonata in G major, Op. 49/2 (an earlier work despite its higher opus number). It's a spry tune over a tick-tock accompaniment. As is common in Beethoven's works of this period, the minuet contains two trios, the second pulling its insistent rhythm from the opening material. The fourth movement, an Andante, is a set of variations on the Rhenish folk song "Ach Schiffer, lieber Schiffer." It's yet another lighthearted, bouncy tune, though a curiously unmemorable one; it merely provides Beethoven a suitably-shaped frame on which to hang his own busy melodic excursions and showcase the various instruments of the ensemble. The Scherzo, marked Allegro molto e vivace, is a vigorous piece with a hint of the hunt about it, thanks to the little figure played by the horn at the beginning. The contrasting trio is essentially a tuneful cello solo accompanied by the other strings and bassoon. In the final movement, a slow introduction (Andante con moto alla marcia) sounds almost ominous, with anticipatory material for the horn and violin. Soon this mood is dispelled by an exuberant Presto, in which the forward motion is occasionally interrupted by calm interludes. The movement also features fanfares, prominent solo material, and even a full cadenza for the violin.

La mano del maestro anche qui si sente, eccome! Nelle apparenti vesti di una musica del tardo Settecento si celano meraviglie che appartengono già al Beethoven maturo. Davvero un bellissimo settimino che ha fatto gioire anche Stravinsky, per i timbri usato con maestria.
Clarinet - Alfred Prinz; Bassoon - Dietmar Zeman; Horn - Roland Berger; Violin - Gerhart Hetzel; Viola - Rudolf Streng; Cello - Adalbert Skocic; Double Bass - Burkhard Kräutler
Note how the minuet has almost the exact same theme as the 20th Piano Sonata
He definitely copied from it. Beethoven never actually intended the 20th (and 19th) sonatas to be published due to their relative simplicity, but his brother sort of went ahead and submitted them anyway without his consent. So despite the higher opus number, the sonatas were written about 4 or so years before the septet, and beethoven borrowed because he never expected that theme to be published as a sonata.
A fabulous piece performed by tremendous musicians.
Hurrah! What a wonderful performance! Let us thank Ludwig van Beethoven for his wonderful compositions. When all the seven of you simultaneously play it gives the effect of organ.
The beginning reminds me of the Pipilangstrumpf Theme!! I love it!
I have not heard this work before, thank you for sharing!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed.
@@jamisonsanchez9372 ok
It was one of Beethoven’s most popular works during his lifetime, much to the composer's dismay. Several years later, Beethoven even wished the score to have been destroyed, saying: "That damn work! I wish it were burned!"
I can definitely hear examples of his second symphony in this work, which he was composing at about the same time. It is worth noting that Schubert modeled his Octet on this work at the request of the clarinetist, Troyer, who commissioned Schubert.
great videos sir keep it up :)

UN GENIO DE LA BUENA MUSICA...MARAVILLOSO SU SEPTIMINO
I hope you can be active soon and upload more of Beethoven string quartets!
Thanks for uploading!
At 4:32, it is very similar to the opening of the main melody in beethoven's third movement of his 9th symphony. The first violin plays a D-A-Bb-Eb motif here, but in the symphony the first violins play a D-A-Bb-F-Eb motif. The viola here plays repeated f's, but in the symphony violas also play repeated f's (though they are syncompated), and the cello here plays the bassline Bb-Eb-D-A Bb-A-G, which is the same exact bassline the cellos play in the third movement of his symphony, but a octave lower. Isnt that interesting?
It was G.Hetzel who specified these tonalities. I think this performance is one of the best.

I love your beethoven symphony uploads! Is there any chance you can do his "Creatures of Prometheus"
Certainly! It's a favorite of mine actually. Will try and finish it this weekend, I've been busy with school so it's hard to sit down and dedicate time to making videos.
@@jamisonsanchez9372 Thank you!
@@jamisonsanchez9372 ok
@@jamisonsanchez9372 Are you still busy with school or now work is on the horizon?
@@arturdankovsky8293 Yes, I'm working now. But it's a combination of time and not knowing what to upload.
I typically try not to upload pieces that already have good videos, unless somebody requests a specific recording that doesn't have a score video. In the case of this request, the piece was uploaded on a larger channel shortly after before I finished mine so I never uploade.
I had Verdi's La Forza del Destino uploaded (nearly 3 hr piece) but CZcams took it down despite me uploading the audio track before hand to check for copyright.
I was working on redoing that video with a different recording but I'm still open to requests.
Is it just me, or is the Allegro con brio theme very nice?
1:30
Yeah, love it.
You were supposed to hate this work.
@@terr4c0Whoops! Alas, a man cannot be perpetually consistent.
Is there a standard structure for the movements of a septet, or octet, and such? The string quartet has a standard structure, but this septet has six movements... Just curious.
I'm not knowledgeable about the structure to give you a real answer, but it's worth pointing out that Brahm's Serenade op. 11 is also in 6 movements as well as a lot of Mozart's Divertimentos. Perhaps something common to small symphonic ensembles?
As with some of Mozart's divertimenti, composers sometimes approached larger chamber works like suites rather than symphonies. There is a lot more room for experimentation with unusual combinations of instruments than with "standard" groupings like string quartets. Nevertheless, even in quartets Beethoven branched out into experimental groups of movements in later works.
@@joshuaharper372 Thanks!
Nothing with Beethoven have a a standard structure, he always liked to broke rules and improvise a lot on all his works, and that is why he was unique in his own style.
crazy how this piece was so popular in his day, but no where near as popular in modern classical repertoire, guess music just comes and goes? Maybe this work just doesn't carry the same weight? But Idk every major piece by L.V.B seems like an absolute masterpiece to me, I wonder why Beethoven was so unhappy with this piece

Mvt.6 in a sonata form??
Is it a question or an objection?(??).In any case - yes, why not?

Why is it a septet and not a symphony?
A septet is a composition with seven parts, which this piece has. A symphony would have to have all of the instruments of the orchestra involved, including percussion.
@@grandstrategos1144 Yes this is what I thought, but look at Mozart's first symphony, it has even less instruments than this.
@@tarikeld11 A septet is specifically composed for 7 players. A symphony is intended for a symphony orchestra where there are multiple musicians playing the same part. Take first violins for example, where there may be as many as 10 violinists playing the 1st violin part alone.
@@jamisonsanchez9372 Okay now I understand it, thank you!
I think He took some inspiration from Mozart's Gran Partita
The best theme (1:31) is also reminiscent of Mozart's Symphony 29: czcams.com/video/2JUeRgJM6hs/video.html
Movement 3: (is like Beethoven's 20th piano sonata) - someone is bound to not believe it (at least at first) *surprised pikachu face*
Yep, the melody is taken from his piano sonata.
@@CK-kd5pn I think it's the other way around :-)
@@gamingmusicandjokesandabit1240 That's not possible because the piano sonata was an earlier work despite the higher opus number. Note that Beethoven never intended on actually publishing his 20th sonata as well as his 19th.
@@CK-kd5pn I remember seeing another comment here that said the theme was first written in the septet, plus there's also the concept of misleadingly high opus numbers :-)
@@gamingmusicandjokesandabit1240 How was the theme written in the septet first when the septet was composed a few years after the sonata?
27:30
La vida du dernier mouvement fait écho,dans le côté retour ironique sur soi et envol dans une dimension non dite, a la fin du k 452 de Mozart.
Mais autant Mozart est insolent et polisson,autant Beethoven est élégant et viril.
