Mmm yeah it would be so hard with all the funky time signature changes and such that Shosta seems to love throwing at us poor orchestral players. XD

 

The allegro non troppo movement?

Ok it wss symp #10 E minor

andante, allegro

 

the second half was the killer. There is an awesome youtube vid of iit. No toutube on my phone so canr kink youv

I played the twelfth symphony on tour with my youth orchestra. Soo much fun. Psycho concerto. And the way Shosta wrote-tricking the Russian government into thinking that they were songs in their honour, beautiful pieces with amazing titles like 'The Dawn of Humanity' and then the songs are horrific. Amazing, but horrific. XD Hilarious. And gutsy.

Ours was all about the plight of the russian people

it was good

 

it turns out the musical motif was his name used over and over

his name?

In russian there is a way to line up the letters to musical notes. Its similar to our a b c think. Just more complete.

Anyway his name can be made into a phrase of four notes that he uses ocer and over

That is...extremely cool. I wanna do that!!

 

Go Russian musical alphabet!

I know the German musical alphabet has more note names than us I just don't remember what they are...

He spoke german as well didnt he? Maybe it was that

if you find out how let me know

LAWL. Have you ever gotten high by hyperventilating? We do it before swim races so we don't have to breathe during the race (breathing slows you down).

I just held my breathe....

 

Lol. But i lve in NZ its easy to get high off other things here

Too much getting high in this thread....lol
