- Skandalkonzert is the colloquial name given to a notorious concert that took place near the start of the 20th century. German for "scandal concert," this particular event is known today for all the wrong reasons...
But what happened on this infamous day? And why are so few people actually aware of this historical nugget? And most important of all, what impact did this relatively unknown scandal have on the future of music?

"The most harmonious sound of the evening" lmao😅 great anecdote, thank you

No. The scandal was the DANCE, not the music.
Sacre was performed in concert (ie: music only) to immense public acclaim the following summer. People didn't suddenly develop a deep understanding of music which they did not have the preceding year.
The problem with Sacre's premiere was a ballet audience expecting ballet dancers wearing traditional ballet apparel doing traditional ballet moves. They got NONE of that from Nijinsky's choreography nor from Roerich's set designs and costumes.
Is that true? Very interesting
What are you saying no to? The infamous Stravinsky concert only gets a passing mention and that is mostly to say that the oft-repeated story is inaccurate - which I presume you would agree with?
@@AndyBakerUK there is no "infamous Strawinski concert". There was a remarkably successful concert premiere less than a year after the "infamous ballet premiere".
Music critics from that period lauded the work for the masterpiece it was.
The ballet premiere, on the other hand, makes for a more salacious read, a "scandal" in the classical arts world. This is why that performance is so often cited and has built mythic qualities over time.
Yes, there WAS a scandal, and a raucous fight broke out with a certain segment of the audience. But this was not a "concert", it was not a "concert audience".
It was a ballet performance, with completely different expectations from attendees of that time.
What I said "No." to was that Strawinski's music was the cause. It was not. Nijinsky's primitivist choreography, something never before seen at that time, was the cause of it.
@@MREmusique that's beside the point. This video isn't about that.
