Aus Italien: Richard Strauss (with score)

[@Apfelstrudl]

Strauss is just the king of horn writing. Nothing a hornist would like to the play more even when just listening than this. ❤️ Btw how playful, whitty and delight "At the beach at Sorrent" is..

The unique style of Strauss: The lovely mix between sophistication and romanticism.

Auf der Campagne (On the Roman Campagna) A Tone Poem Richard Strauss This piece is about 10 minutes long, but I have listened to only the first four minutes. What I hear is a series of pleasant chords, and some individual notes running between the chords. Strauss is using every piece of a large orchestra: there’s something for each instrument to play, even in just the four minutes. I can hear the low strings, the high strings, an occasional high wind instrument. Some notes are held for several beats; others are short. In two-second intervals, I would guess, the chunks are each pleasant to hear. That is, a brief clip taken from anywhere in these four minutes would probably sound good, by itself. There are transitions from minor and dissonant chords, to major chords, and those fragments are also pleasant. I would call the feeling “serene” and “calm”, but it is also shaded with those minors and conflicting notes, which are more jarring than calm. This music sounds like it would serve as background to a movie. For example, if someone was exploring an unknown forest, or traveling through space while looking out the window, or trying to wake up in bed after a difficult night, you could put this music there as a backdrop while that sort of action was on the screen. The sounds do not move in any direction at all; nothing is developing here. This is the reason I was satisfied to stop after four minutes. Just as well, I might have stopped after two minutes. What follows one bit (a few seconds of music) does not seem to be related to what came before; it is entirely independent, to my ear. It could be repeating, or replaying in reverse, or Strauss could have had a computer chop up the whole ten minutes into five-second clips, and then rearrange them in a random sequence, with no loss of impact. So these sounds are interesting, even appealing, in fragments, but because there is no progress, no development, no order to it, it does not stand as art, as I understand art. It is like watching some two-year-olds goofing around, or a fireworks display, or touring the entire Museum of Science & Industry at high speed, in four minutes. Each little bit is fine - good, even - but it does not make a cohesive, coherent whole. I don’t know anything about the Roman Campaign, so it might help me to know why Strauss chose that title. I have never learned what a “tone poem” is, and I cannot see in this piece anything akin to poetry as I understand it, though, for sure, my experience with poetry is very limited. This is the kind of music that causes listeners like me to believe they could do just as well as Richard Strauss, as it seems to me that I, too, could muster a team of musicians to play a series of chords and individual notes, with no less sense than what I feel in this composition. This is entirely frustrating. I don't know what's wrong with me.

[@Johanna650]

Aquí se aprecia el arte de este genio. Este Strauss no tiene nada que ver con Johann Strauss, más que es una coincidència de apellido. Pero tan bueno 👍 es uno como El otro

[@JorgeMorales-fv5cl]

Ricardo es muchisimo mejor que Johann...

[@Johanna650]

@@JorgeMorales-fv5cl Y un jamon. Ricard Strauss tiene obras buenas, però donde este el murcielago....cien mil veces mejor que el cavaller de la rosa. Quien critica a Johann Strauss y ya que a usted le gusta traducir los nombres, llamele Juan es que no entiende de música, ahora claro que Johann Strauss comparado con Albeniz o Granados...si usted me hubiera dicho que Albeniz era mejor que Johann Strauss, vale, però con Richard...ya quisiera

What exactly happened at 2:29??

[@evandanger547]

I think piccolo lost control of the note/the note didn't speak properly

[@jackwolfe9257]

what is the form of the first movement? A loose sonata form? A ternary?

[@stephenmccarthy3072]

Personally think that sonata form is a better label than ternary form; the final 'A' melody is pretty short for a ternary final 'A' section, but the key scheme (G-E flat-G-short E flat-final return to G) and the treatment of the opening octave leap as something like a 'first subject' leads me to prefer sonata form as a label. Then again, if you're asking to justify the "symphonic" label, the second movement is much more clearly in sonata form, so there's that to consider too. Just some thoughts.

33:58 ooh! so thats where the spiderman pizza theme came from.

[@Ma_Zhongying]

That part was taken from Funiculì Funiculà, by Luigi Denza.

[@RyanEntnerMusic]

@@Ma_Zhongying Fun fact, he actually thought it was a traditional song. But it had been composed only 7 years prior, so Strauss was sued by Luigi Denza.

[@wilh3lmmusic]

Actually, it's a song written by Luigi Denza called "Funiculi Funicula", which Strauss thought was a folk song. He used it, got sued by Denza, and had to pay royalties...
