Johann Nepomuk Hummel "Fantasie for Viola and orch."

[@joselopes2293]

This music is fabulous in harmony and rare, given the instrument used as a soloist (usually the violin instead of the viola).The melody is of magnificent elegance and sublime in its incredible beauty. He is an amazing composer who has produced wonderful music. The soloist is magnificent not only for the sensibility he performs the theme but also for the sound he takes from the instrument. The orchestra and its direction are superb. Viva Hummel and his outstanding musical talent. The recording is remarkable and gives us unforgettable moments of pleasure.

I heard this on the Ernst Wallfisch recording in 1974 and started introducing it all through out my home state of Kentucky, and at Cincinnati Conservatory, the Sewanne, Tennessee Summer Music Institute and then at Tanglewood. I was 15 years old. I also introduced the Michael Haydn Concerto for viola and harpsichord / organ then. I introduced it to Mrs. Virginia Schneider, my teacher, the viola instructor of U of L and head of the Suzuki Department there and the Principal Violist of the Louisville Orchestra.

[@kostasampatzis9296]

Excellent performance of an excellent musical composition by a huge incredibly neglected composer of the 19th century. Absolutely beatiful.

[@MikJFr]

Lovely piece, I'm sure we'll hear more of it when violists, hungry for top-quality material, 'discover' it for us.

[@tmmmviii]

really like this. It doesn't get annoying. thanks.

[@Chai_Is_Time]

Thank you!! This is a very beautiful interpretation of the piece, and I love how the soloist and the orchestra communicate so well together. I found this because I am currently learning this piece, and I will definitely be listening to this again. My only problem is of how I will be able to sound half as great as the violist playing the solo :(

[@juanmunoz1627]

Yay! My teacher just asked me to play this piece this semester and I’m so excited about it tbh! Will you upload your performance somewhere I can see it?, I'd love to see it🤩

[@hummelnote]

great performance.

[@dieentschlossene4864]

12:30 "Di tanti palpiti" from Rossini, which was a huge hit at the time.To all the people who hear citations in this piece: it's called "Potpourri (!) for Viola and Orchestra" for a reason ;)

[@권태형-z9i]

Idk Hummel was still alive when Tancredi was published :O

[@ottoman9029]

probably his greatest orchestral work.

[@avmclassic]

Maestro Franz Schessl, Grazie ... tu sei storia della Musica

[@else528]

Wonderful! Thank you so much.

[@harryandruschak2843]

Back again on 16 September 2017. Worth hearing again.

[@harryandruschak2843]

Anybody other then myself who started singing, aloud, the words to Mozart's operas that Hummel quoted? You can do this at home, although not in a concert hall.

[@rogerknox9147]

7:44 "Se vuol ballare" from the Marriage of Figaro

[@violistcameron]

Important point: this piece isn't called "Fantasie;" It's called "Potpourri." The "Fantasie" version was published about eighty years later, long after Hummel died, and it cuts about twelve minutes from the piece, as well as most of the instruments from the orchestra. I'm not sure why the publisher thought it would be a good idea to eviscerate a composer's piece and give it a different title.

[@Violapianist]

the version you're playing is probably called "Fantasie," this is the Potpourri. The Fantasie is an excerpt essentially of the Potpourri.

[@josechrist3948]

This is a great performance! I invitate everybody who thinks he can do a better job to put his version on youtube......

[@sasssssa6565]

Gérard caussé and San jin kim version

[@klop4228]

Not like that would change how good or bad this one is...

[@tepmich]

GEMÜTVOLL !!! Tepper Michael.

[@onceltom]

That viola had a sweet sound. Who was Frantz Schessl?

[@Ottozimerman]

És una de les peces de música clàssica que més m'agrada, la trobo tan plena de vida, de color i d'esperança que l'escolto molts cops i cada vegada m'agrada més. Genial, senzillament! Romàntic nocturn

[@钱林涛]

胡梅爾音樂中的美涵蓋了巴洛克的華麗和德國浪漫主義的底蘊，

[@c1trax]

awesome

[@huincas54]

...que hermosa melodía!!!...que compositor!! ...realmente se ha convertido en uno de mis favoritos...he visto varios ranking de compo sitores clásicos(desde ya, muy subjetivos) y no figuraba...why???

[@useo.haessal]

I’m playing this piece for a competition The end is so fast😭

[@grooveslam15]

Amazing ||3

[@Demusics]

Casi como un recuerdo hacia mozart, un homenaje hacia su profesor,

[@arouetfrancois571]

With Beethoven, Schubert, Franz Xaver Mozart, Meyerbeer and very young Franz Liszt, another pupil of Antonio Salieri.

[@AnnaMariaBarbastefano]

so beautiful -

[@Violapianist]

It's called Potpourri for a reason haha it's a mix of lots of operas, Figaro included

[@johntestelin4051]

We have to notice that's a potpourri and Hummel uses themes of W.A. Mozart and other composers. Tchaikovsky also wrote "Mozartiana"! It doesn't remove the pleasure of listening.

[@myhoneybee]

I swear that I heard "Wenn ich ein Voglein war" (Robert Schuman, op. 43,1) at about 8 minutes to 9 minutes... Did you?

[@pianoclover8442]

I love the beginning of the piece, it's really dramatic! (But i read the comments below and apparently its supposed to be played in a more 'classical period' style? hmm....

[@isabeldawes8864]

does anyone know where I can find the sheet music for this?

[@Dogaradodia]

Certifié intergalactique!

[@violaisreallycool]

Your famous remark!

[@kichichan16]

i cant find the solo part please help i need this for my practical exam thanks a lot =))))!!!

[@00853325]

Have you tried Suzuki volume 8?

[@gregarityNow]

The world's highest concentration of german chords

[@sebastian.cuautle]

NO ENTIENDO BIEN EL COMENTARIO ACERCA DE LAS TONALIDADES ME LO EXPLICAS ?

[@Jioasdiu]

awesome! anyway I'm playing these piece and, it starts the same, but it changes since 05:15 and there are like 10 extra music minutes from the version that I am playing. Then it comes back since 17:10 to the version that I am playing. Why is that? Greetings and thanks for sharing!

[@anisotr0pia601]

same here dont know the reason

[@Demusics]

Un grandisimo compositor. Aprendió directamente de Mozart y otros, fué contemporaneo de Beethoven e influyó muchisimo a Chopin, quien adquirió su "nuevo" sonido en los conciertos de piano. El ser humano es de polos, no entiende de tonalidades y en cuanto un Mozart, Beethoven o Bach nos aplastan, todos los demás desaparecen. Pero ahi siguen. El tiempo pone a cada uno en su sitio.

[@josealexandre6632]

??? Part of it is "LA CI DAREMO LA MANO" of D.Giovanni, Mozart !!!

[@nilslindholm4861]

José

[@dongeonkim5806]

José Alexandre no...se vuol ballare signor contino from le nozze di Figaro

[@SamuelFurse]

I was wondering the same thing--definitely a few bits from from WAM :)

[@josealexandreferreiradacos193]

Hmm, sorry not so sure. La Ci Darem La Mano is a duet between D. Giovanni and the poor peasant girl who is about to fall within the grip of the tenebrous Commendatore´s challenger... In any even the plagiarism is clear, isn´t it ?

[@DW_25]

yeah, Hummel was a student of Mozart for a time and it was typical for people of that era to compose fantasies based on popular opera tunes

[@janklaassen4214]

hummel en su tiempo FUE mas popular que beethoven,es un gran compositor pero cayo en el olvido con el tiempo,en algunos pasajes se nota que gravita la sinfonia concertante de mozart¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@danielmogelin2300]

Peter Schreier Johannes Passion

[@chrisholliaway1806]

Hummel studied under mozart..

[@AmadoDom]

como puede haber 5 dislikes?!?!?

[@janklaassen4214]

+Amado Dominguez Amaro muy facil,porque cada 100 mil estupidos hay un inteligente,la mierda abunda,y el anonimato les ayuda a dar una opinion sin fundamentarla,hummel,fue un gran compositor que duda cabe de ello¡¡¡¡

[@pacucoreyes7268]

No me gusta esta versión de la fantasía no parece del periodo clásico, todos los vibratos son románticos y de la misma intensidad y volumen... no noto diferencia entre el grave del inicio y el andantino con moto... en mi modesta opinión plana y en una misma línea

[@WilliamFord972]

Pacuco Reyes Pués, Hummel vivía durante un período transicional. Se aceptan la época clásica como desde c. 1730 hasta c.1820, mientras la época romántica duraba desde c. 1815 hasta c. 1910. Hummel nació en 1778, y murió en 1837. Su música refleja una transición--per se--desde clásico a romántico.
