Schubert may not have been recognized as a great musician at his time, but his pieces became immortal.

Haydn did write an introduction to a symphony, whose striking theme reoccurs dramatically at the end of the first movement. The symphony known as the drumroll. Beethoven’s use of this idea in the finale of the Fifth Symphony may have been an inspiration for Schubert, but Haydn imagined this breathtaking idea decades before.

@ClassicalNerd6 жыл бұрын
The dates are ill-fitting and illustrate the myriad problems with the way we categorize musical (and other artistic) eras, but-broadly speaking-if one considers 1772-1805 to be the era of Weimar Classicism, then it would be considered the beginning of _literary_ Romanticism, but it predates _musical_ Romanticism by several years.

"I am in the world solely for the purpose of composing." Did Schubert reincarnate Mozart...? Musically. Philosophically. Literally? (including the partying) As if Wolfgang Amadeus returned to finish his work (and "respond" to Beethoven), an immense bestowal on prodigiously prolific Schubert, who felt himself divinely inspired: "I am composing like a god, as if it simply had to be done as it has been done."
@thelightisahead4 жыл бұрын
I would politely disagree on the Unfinished Symphony - Schubert did indeed start writing a scherzo third movement. You can hear a speculative completion of it by Brian Newbould, who discusses the matter in his book ‘Schubert and the Symphony’.
@ClassicalNerd4 жыл бұрын
I don't have that book but I have Newbould's biography of Schubert (a primary source for this video). I should have been more clear-Schubert did seem to attempt a continuation but broke it off, and if I recall correctly, it had something to do with not wanting three consecutive movements in triple meter.

@almosdrozdik6738 Жыл бұрын
Schubert's experimentation with form and harmony is drastically different from Beethoven's most of the time - usually much more progressive. Both the romantic characterpiece and the romantic symphony were pioneered by Schubert, not Beethoven (so was the romantic piano sonata, although that form didn't enjoy great popularity in the late romantic era). Not trying to take away anything that's due, but Ludwig certainly cannot get all the credit, especially for things he didn't do.

Love the video, but I have one small correction to make: Goethe wrote in the german classical period and the one preceding it. While the romantic movement was allready in full swing during his later years, he never adapted to it.
@ClassicalNerd4 жыл бұрын
Romantic composers extensively drew upon Goethe and his works, all the way up through Mahler. It's often hard to clarify artistic eras simply because of music's tendency to lag behind visual or literary developments and trends, or interpretation of previous-era trends in other fields as a touchstone of inspiration.
