Друзья, сегодня Кукарачу эту на ксилофоне в Московской консерватории играли. Дуэтиком. Очень!

[@LucTaMusic]

The top notes of the first four chords of the third movement (C, B, D, C#) are a transposition of B-A-C-H! Schnittke continues to voice those chords the same way each time they appear, so the top notes always spell out B-A-C-H. (It becomes a lot more obvious at 14:38 and 17:12)

[@dress_ane]

Isn't H lower than B ? 🤔 I thought B was for "Si" and H for "Si bémol" Aka B flat 🤔

[@jacobtapianieto9655]

@@dress_ane it's indeed the other way around. In the German system "B" is for B flat and "H" means B natural.

[@gigogrom216]

Schnittke uses that kind of chords a lot For example, piano concerto with the theme containing c minor B major d minor D flat major (c H d Des = b A c H)

Allegretto Scherzando Theme: "La cucaracha, la cucaracha, ya no puede caminar." 😂

[@SolvoltDkwebshop]

This is simply the best classical music I have ever heard. I've heard a lot of classic and this strikes it all. Think it's because the harmonious and dishamonic sounds play so well together. It is simply genius. A good orchestra that gives everything. Super.

[@tomauberwenig2116]

I suppose you already know him, but I do prefer Shostakovich, especially his series of Quatuors played by Borodin Quartet. It's magnificent, and if, at first, he seems to be "deliberately contemporary", from the fourth to the last (the 8th being the "easiest" to the ear", but 13th and 14th are among my all time favorites. Without Shostakovich, Prokoviev, Bach, maybe I wouldn't be able to listen to Schnittke, and keep seeing classical russian as pretentious and dissonent. And if by any chance you hadn't crossed the path of the magnificent series of String Quartets by the master (which I doubt), I'm a little jalous^^ (Discovering the 13th Quartet was one of those times when your soundscape just melts and regrows, changing forever the way your listen to music) Sorry for my long message, And you may never read this, but I can't help myself^^!

[@gavinyanto1371]

Even the 4th movement‘s theme is taken from La Cucaracha

[@ChandlerThomasvoon100]

Hey does anyone know where I can get the score/ violin part for this piece? I really want to play this for my undergrad senior recital but I’m having an extremely difficult time finding the music for this. Anyone have any suggestions of where I can buy/ get it? (I live in the United States so maybe that has something to do with it)

[@Orientaliszt]

Sonate tragicomique de Schnittke qui évoque pour moi une atmosphère de cirque où un clown partage ses états d’âme avec le public 12:15 et 12:47 - Belle performance par ce duo talentueux.

[@greatone777j]

Quirky and imaginative. Bit of 'Soldier's Tale' here and there. Great violin writing. Thanks for posting.

[@paulfreeman4900]

Although I like Schittke, I find his music unrefined. I much prefer the subtlety and grace of Lutoslawski. If you like music for Violin and Piano, I suggest his Subito or Partita

[@SimoneRugani]

We like Lutoslawski too, and we play Subito ;)

[@paulfreeman4900]

@@SimoneRugani So good to hear you are playing Lutoslawski. He certainly deserves a wider audience.

[@eduardorabelo5642]

love the Largo section

[@christophedevos3760]

Very interesting work, I've never heard it before. There is already a lot of later Schnittke there, like the bitonal triads, and also interesting on a formal level, with the returning motives for instance. Thank you for uploading.

Bellissima Sonata, grazie

Il miglior violinista di Roma!

Marvelous performance!!!!!

[@jwboatdesigns]

I went to a concert last night that included this piece, not my style at all, I'd paid to get a ticket but figure that it would take them to pay me to sit through this again.

[@SimoneRugani]

So why did you come here again to listen to it? ;)

[@willbeginner1575]

Too many of Sravinsky. Young Schnittke amazing!

All those pretentious people saying how wonderful this is... Sorry but this music is utter nonsense. It's not even music.

[@geniusrepairman1]

If this piece can draw an emotional and/or intellectual response to a listener or musician at any point in time then it is music.
