Dvořák: Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88, B 163 (with Score)

[@samthiel9824]

I heard this Symphony in a concert of the Houston Symphony on tour in my home town of San Antonio Texas, I was 8 years old. That evening I decided to become a musician. 20 years later I played principal horn in the Vienna Symphony and this wonderful work was on the program. It was an experience that defies description. Of all the orchestral works I was privileged to perform, this will always remain my favorite.... well, maybe next to "Das Lied von der Erde" by Mahler.

[@koiyae]

can you tell what is this? i don't know much about music :( i just noticed that there's a variation in these times

[@ianpolitano07]

I always thought that the opening melody was just the cellos but upon looking at the score, i can see that the clarinets, bassoon, and horns are doubling the cellos. Yet if you listen, they are so well blended with the cellos that you can't tell.

[@hjo4104]

Same. Instruments with a similar colour in unison. If you listen more carefully, you can notice the clarinets, but not the horns and bassoons. Cellos only would sound much weaker.

[@ginavingara8393]

What a great observation! How incredibly skilled musicians the Cl/Bn/Hn must be to blend their sounds so discretely into the cellos.

[@Janevelyn]

@@ginavingara8393 and the celli, playing together as one (very difficult), then blending with the blow horns.

[@oliviu-dorianconstantinesc288]

The celli are doubling the winds, not the other way around.

[@casual720]

This is so true!

[@navleawang2809]

The first movement is so good! Every instrument has a very important part in the peice!

[@navleawang2809]

Also, the 3rd movement is very melodic!

[@magorzataziokowska6518]

And every can feel important! 😊

[@vince-tcturner9082]

I like all of Dvořák's first eight symphonies, but musically No 8 is by far the best crafted symphony. His orchestration is fabulous. I have played viola in this piece and the violas have a counter (or 'sub'?) theme under the cellos at the opening of the last movement, beautiful to play underneath the main melody.

[@Killerbee4712]

how bout the 9th?

[@owenxayboury]

currently working on it with viola too :)

[@klop4228]

@@Killerbee4712 as nice as it is, it relies a little too much on self-quotation without development. At least in my view, it sounds like it's trying to ride on its own coattails a bit. Obviously not every example of old material coming back is bad (the 2nd-movement chords at the end of the finale are amazing), but a lot of them give the piece a sort of 'pot-pourri' feeling. Still a great symphony, though - just a nitpick that pushes it a touch behind this and the 7th (which our dear friend Vince has left out :P).

[@haomingli6175]

Well, critical opinion would suggest that the 7th is the best musically.

[@dariusgoh5314]

playing this on viola too 😂 Dvorak never forgets the viola; his American quartet is a clear example of this

[@petergoldstein1075]

Excuse me but not only is Dvoraks 8th symphony his best symphony BY FAR , it gets my vote for best symphony ever written

[@klop4228]

This is one of those pieces I love to listen to either when I'm already in a good mood or when I want to be. It's in a similar class to Brahms' 2nd and Beethoven's 6th and 7th.

[@paulwl3159]

[@user-hd2tc9ze5i]

La octava sinfonía de Dvorak es para mí la que más me gusta del mundo mundial, ya que ella hay cohabitación de fenómenos tan dispares cono son lo lírico y lo grandioso, lo bucólico y lo vivaz, lo reluciente y lo entrevelado. Todo ello en perfecta armonía hasta el punto de llegar a preguntarme humildemente si tengo dotes para la interpretación. La música a veces arroyuelo, a veces océano discurre sabiamente de manos del compositor imprimiendo a cada momento el matiz preciso. El último movimiento es él en sí una coda desde la primera nota de la fanfarria. Un lujo para los oídos. A disfrutar ❤ 😊

[@martinlee5604]

I am listening to each of Dvorak's symphonies in turn. I am not sure whether I agree with Gervase Hughes ("Fifty Famous Composers", 1972) when he says, "Structural deficiencies are even more noticeable in symphony no.8 in G major (1889) and no.9 in E minor (1893, 'From The New World'). The first and third movements of the G major are close-knit and attractive, but the second is long-winded, and the finale, which sets forth confidently as though it were to be a theme with variations, ends by chasing its own tail."

[@herbiecactus6687]

I like the chunky, run on second movement. Feels like a journey and gives the piece gravity.

[@phild1977]

Yes; Gervase Hughes' Symphony no. 8 is far superior.. lol. 🤣

[@derianalveswolanski9855]

Dvorak loved to experiment stuff, this is why the critic always go crazy about him! Like how his piano concerto (aside from being hard for pianist) is more about a conversation between orchestra and piano than a fight like how was common in the concertos of his era!

[@stephenluttmann3432]

Being British doesn't mean you can't be a nincompoop, and Mr. Hughes demonstrates that amply.
