Spring rounds is saurr good

[@Andrei.Christop]

The people freaking out because it's so dissonant... I cannot understand how could this be a bad thing. I believe Stravinsky's music is ahead of the common sense of beauty and harmony. As we study and learn how to compose and appreciate music, we start to understand that people are actually not ready for certain types of music because it is outside of their boxes (and there's nothing wrong with it), and they'll stick to their own style and tastes. I don't want to look like the pseudo intellectual musician, but Rite of Spring is actually an outstanding work and the genius behind it got what he wanted when he created this. He got a great and beautiful work that can be appreciated but also disturbing. That quote about his arrangement of "The Star Spangled Banner" actually applies perfectly to THIS work: *"The striking chord changes may be disturbing to layman's ears."*

[@darkhafgor]

Tbh the piece itself is not bad, it just makes me... uneasy, not like Rachmaninoffs Red Riding Hood uneasy, just like, disturbing

@@twopie6911 HI

[@amoryblaine2123]

I agree. When I got introduced into classical music I found chopins waltzes very pleasing or the nocturnes or even some film scores. As I heard more I got to bigger longer pieces. Chopins Ballades or Scherzos or Sonatas later to Liszt to his bigger pieces and later to more complex and dissonant pieces. I found impressionistic pieces that dont follow the rules of Bach or Beethoven. For example Ravel. At first it was weird and hard to like now I love it. I found Schoenberg and Scriabin and now I will learn how to understand and like Stravinsky.

[@toprak3479]

The actual reason for the riot was the coreography of the ballet rather than the music.

[@excuseyou7198]

The chord in Augurs of spring. Someone: How many times you want to repeat that chord? Stravinsky: *Y E S*

[@viola4344]

In this piece, the horns are in Old Notation, meaning that everything in bass clef transposes up a fourth instead of down a fifth. For example, you have the lower 4 horns an 8ve to low at 3:16.

[@me_is_hobo]

I love how your profile picture is the bassoon solo

[@drakanDS]

Jacob Collier: Every note works with every chord Stravinsky: i n t e r e s t i n g

[@theorymaster6310]

collier probably took inspiration from this guy, let’s be honest. also, it depends on what you mean by ‘works with’

[@benrolfe8490]

Oh HECK YES. This really shows just how intricate this piece of music really is. Thanks so much for this one!

[@filipbed8592]

12:35!😮

[@me_is_hobo]

That trill🤩

[@mariothepookster]

Incredible! A wonderful way of allowing others to perceive the structure and harmony of this 20th Century composition by Igor Stravinsky. Yes, one could follow using composition’s score. But, this provides another way to understand or explore it. Thank you. Must have been a lot of work to do so.

[@jrkorman]

And I found that watching as some particularly interesting set of notes scroll down the screen sets up a certain tension that you wouldn't get from just sitting and listening, not knowing what is coming. I've actually found something that I'd like to use a VR headset for.

[@theend7339]

i love me some dissonances. also the strings and brass section at 3:16 sound awesome

[@r0mmm]

That is really a Epic Moment

[@interex956]

6:08 - that texture!!!

[@dedede5586]

11:35 damn you almost never hear that crunch in recordings!!!

[@MochaDaisy8645]

Those “orange” notes that start at about 12:46 and continue for almost another minute (before other such notes in a higher register come in) can be heard on “Stone Flower” by Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim on an album of the same name (1970)

[@nataliacatraio6107]

[@kristinaj5356]

I would be very grateful if you could make a second part of this wonderful piece 🫶

[@yourself5000]

actually my favorite thing ever

[@cerealbowl7038]

In this piece, the Horns are written in Old Notation, meaning that all Bass Clef passages transpose up a fourth instead of down a fifth. For example, at the beginning of the Augurs of Spring, you should have the bottom four Horns an octave higher.

[@MochaDaisy8645]

Just watched this video today and I was both thrilled and beyond pleased! Thanks so much for uploading it when you did

[@ばか-t8x]

just remember that this is about a girl forced to dance herself to death.

[@hmoridejrgen6227]

Can you elaborate?

[@nate150]

It was the image Stravinsky was trying to capture when composing this.

[@karlpoppins]

Not just that, it's the literal choreography (yes, this is a ballet) that calls for a young girl to be 'sacrificed' by dancing herself to death.

[@SaxandRelax]

they don’t have a recording of the full ballet on youtube

[@arnavanand8037]

This is about the rituals of the pagan russians. I think the story is true Edit: it's a myth congrats

[@Snardbafulator]

Fans of this (count me in) should check out musanim's graphical score to the same Jay Bacal MIDI version (he also renders the entire piece). Since the really quick notes don't blink off and on, you actually get a little more visual information ...

[@fluffly3606]

People like to say this piece and by proxy the composer Stravinsky represent an enlightened standard of musicality most of humanity still has not reached to this day, but I believe Occam's Razor applies here and we should realize that participating in a human sacrifice ritual is not a particularly consonant set of emotions

[@Snardbafulator]

People enjoy horror movies. Shakespearean tragedies have blood soaked endings. When we experience these things, we're not "participating" in the horror or bloodshed. Nicholas Roerich's pseudo-anthropology is not to be taken literally.

[@michaeldunn6473]

2:36 First black midi of the history. :)

[@omnitone]

Álex Gómez nope. black midis have to be only one instrument and cant be in a orchestra and this is also playable so it definitely doesn't fit. edit: your comment also has bad grammar

[@ronmor2004]

THE jake360 he just wrote a funny comment, no need to be so picky... By the way, your comment also has bad grammar- you have written "a orchestra", when it should be "an orchestra", which means you are a "hypocrite".

[@omnitone]

Ron Morgunov it cant be a funny comment if its not funny. its a bit offensive to since i was a fan of black midis for a short time. but you probably don't care, because im apparently (in your words) a "hypocrite".

[@RichardViard]

Recording and visualization are amazing. I just wish you had also visualized the dynamics, like having the colors fainter when soft and brighter when loud.

[@angelhernandezgonzalez6535]

I'm still waiting for the video of the second half of this piece.

[@oceancheung6139]

Thanks for making this midi🙏🏻🙏🏻, I have seen the score video many times but it is too complicated and the score is too small to read on my phone. With this midi, I can actually get to understand more about what are different instruments are doing as you have indicated different instruments with different colours. I appreciate this a lot. Btw, the colours make the piece even more exotic😂👍🏻

stupid. music isn’t about motif, scale, or pattern. It’s about sound and a general effect. This piece does give a good impression of pagan barbaric tribes. Also, this piece does have many patterns and uses scales like the octatonic scale. You’re just plain wrong in so many ways.

[@mohammadalshareef5730]

@TheoryMaster, When it comes to music there is no right and wrong. Many other composers critisized this piece, I just don't feel enjoying it and that's ok. By the way I wrote this comment 2 years ago. I was stupid the piece is great, there is no other piece makes you feel the way it does.
