Magic hands and magic voices, really amazing what human being can do! especially the Angle voice of Cai Thomas, yet every piece is Act Of God. Thanks for sharing these fantastic moments🤩. It really touching me as I played Jazz and classical instruments too😅

Thank you! Helpful, neat and concise.

How about Wagner's Ring Cycle (Featuring Ride of the Valkyries & Siegfried's Funeral March), Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette, Verdi's Overture from La Forza Del Destino, Brahms- Hungarian Dance no. 5, , Stravinsky's Firebird, Works by Puccini (La Tregenda from Le Villi, Crisantemi, Intermezzo from Manon Lescaut, Turandot), Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite no. 1, Lyadov- Trypych (Baba Yaga, The Enchanted Lake, & Kikimora), Rachmainov's Isle of the Dead & Paganini Rhapsody, Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Faure's Pavane, Sibelius- The Swan of Tuonela & Tapiola, etc.

great video, thanks!

this guy needs more subs

This is the first of your videos I have watched and I have questions. First, only 774 subscribers? How is that possible? Only 109 views? Only six likes? Is this an outgrowth of this weird timeline we're still stuck in? And two years since you told your last story? Surely, I think, you must be itching to tell more. Even if it's only for the benefit of a single insomniac crank. We moved last fall, which is of no note, except that I had to leave behind a beloved maple that we planted over twenty years ago. It grew straight and tall, a beautiful creature, my son, towering over the house, and home to squirrels, birds and bugs. It writhed with fury in thunderstorms. It shook with mirth when casting its shadow on the back wall of the house in an early July evening breeze. The soulless clods who bought the house just cut it down. It's a pile of sawdust now. The blue jays will no longer sit in its top branches, yelling for peanuts. The squirrels will no longer leap from the deck railing to the lower branches when they see me open the door. I predict the clods will install an above-ground pool in its place, or maybe a trampoline that will get used twice, when their kids discover smart phones and do whatever kids do today on social media. And when I heard the idea of an eruption in this opera, I thought, this grand opera I'm going to write about the vengeance of the gods on these benighted fools will surely need an eruption, but nothing short of Krakatoa will do. My question to you: What should the first note be? I'm thinking B flat but I'm open to suggestions. B flat always has a cataclysmic vibe to me.

Thank you for the wonderful links!

Excellent! Short and sweet, thank you.

Am i wrong in saying that a cadenza is just a solo

Thanks! New subscriber 👍

I shot

Unfortunately you take big swings. You may be the person that takes me. Lol... well ...... over the top ! Ian just won two grammys w/ Isbell. No bullshit

What a fantastic perception. Thank you my fellow musician! It means a lot . You choose this life.... you go so high.... but you get absolutely destroyed also But I adore how intelligent you perception is. Because.... lol I absolutely think your wrong. But I love ya. Unfortunately perception turns into reality with most. Not me sir. I'd rather have several conversations..... like you. Well you figure it out.

But I've been fine w/crap players. So. I understand it. But it's a hard thing to beat

Have to admit I'm a drummer also. Which most thing I don't hear the damn song. It's music

What a great perspective I'll listen....

Been listening also. This is fantastic

I adore this!

Thank you.

I didn't expect my Cadenza to be music😅😅

Nicely done

Awesome explanation

i was made to watch this 💀

Great lesson!

Great lesson!

I enjoyed this very much. I ran into the Casadesus situation when I researched a murder mystery (maybe by Elliot Paul?). I had heard of Casadesus because my mother took me to hear him conduct when I was a teenager. The novel mentioned two of the organization's works. Not too long ago, I researched the works mentioned in the novel, and found out the sprious nature of some of them, as well as a recording (maybe of one of the genuine pieces). Earlier, I had heard of the reason resaaerchers went after "Mozart's #37" because there were so few recordings listed of it in Schwann. "Oh, it's just not as good as the others." But the argument was made that the piece was too late to be an artistic stumble, so everyone was relieved to find out its spurious nature.

this is so helpful i cant stress enough!! have this paper due today which includes symphonies haha

OMG, how come you don't have more likes and comments here??? Oh, well... this is classical and not trap. Lol. Keep going please, I love your passion!!!

Roll over beethoven...and tell Tchaikovsky the news

How about syncopation?

video starts at 1:15

I think Paul McCartney’s Christmas song is the absolute worst! When you factor in his song writing ability then it makes that atrocity of a song even more egregious.

I’m with you on the Christmas Shoes song. Over the top with the sentiment and just awful! Another one I don’t like is 2000 Miles by the Pretenders. It’s just really Whitney and cheesy 80s. I do enjoy however any Christmas songs from the Acapella group Straight No Chaser. Their Christmas albums are always amazing!

I'd like to hear about Melismas and word painting

We learn the minuet as a form within symphonies that evolved long after the minuet. So we see what a minuet became, and learn little about its place in music history. See ‘Music in the Galant Style’ 2007

More videos please ☹☹

Your videos are interesting

Crip and Clean Explanations, Thanks a Lot, all the way from Tamil Nadu, India

Kindly help me with the name of the first piece played....it was magnificent;a great choice... You really know your job... Love

Over simplified but cool for audience without patience... Gratitude

Tchaikovsky

My personal performances have tended towards that sort of flattened features mainly as a side effect of the level of concentration needed for orchestral playing. Yet I've noticed I'm more animated in the videos of say, Wind Quintet performances.

I'd like to hear about suites

Great video! Answering the question I'm always asking: what should I listen to next? Good to see you Bruce, great memories from NYSSSA 2016.

bravo, bravo alleluia/hallelujah

Hey, Bruce! I enjoyed the episode. Your knowledge and enthusiasm inspire. And, as always, I learned something new. Thank you. (And thanks for the shout-out. ☺👍)

Thanks for your energy and information. Hope life is treating you well!

Very nicely presented, Bruce Kiesling. Good luck to the Sequoia Symphony this year!

Roman Festivals is such a technical monster of a piece, best of luck with the performance!

Also, please make video on symphonic poems.
