Thank you! Your videos are great. Keep up the fantastic work that you do.
Btw would love to see an analysis of the underrated Schubert 1st symphony some day.

[@vincentsheehan3193]

Thank you! I’ll add Schubert’s 1st to the list

In the first movement in 2,5 min of the concert after the flute solo, it seems like a train motif in the background.

[@vincentsheehan3193]

Will check that out

[@alaalfa8839]

In the last movement, in 18:21 Dvořák is experimenting with the rhythms of the winds.
maybe similar to the rhythm experiments in Wind serenade in the last movement, or in all movements too.
But I am not a musician to analyze, just a fan, but listening to his music reminds me of some of his other pieces.

[@vincentsheehan3193]

Thank you that’s a really perceptive comment. I will listen to the serenade again to compare.

[@alaalfa8839]

@@vincentsheehan3193 Maybe just a small part reminded me of it, or maybe its style.
Also, the rhythm reminds me of the Water Goblin motif. Maybe it's my imagination.
