I'm imaging an imposing shadow of Beethoven overlooking Brahms as he tries to write something as good as him "you don't know what it means to the likes of us when we hear his footsteps behind us." - Brahms
Brahms did have an inferirority complex. There‘s a story of him visiting a friend who offered him a fine vintage, saying it was the „Brahms among wines“. Brahms rejected and replied that if that were so, he would like a glass from the „Bach among Wines“.
The one modern chamber piece that really stands out for me is Messiaen's Quartet For The End of Time. The story of how it came to be is both harrowing and inspiring, and it's just hauntingly beautiful to listen to.
Absolutely wonderful!!…like all the other videos you produce!!…Where were you in the late 60’s and early 70’s when we wanted to use humor in order to explain some facts, etc.?; thank you!!
This is one piece I really want to write - I was researching it early last year. Would make a great video. Though our backlog is really large at the moment and it is taking some time to animate; we will get there and hopefully cover Carmina for you. It's a totally, magical, ethereal piece
@@ClassicsExplained can you also do Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, Ravel’s Bolero, Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra, Saint Saens’ Carnival of the Animals, Respighi’s Pines of Rome, Schumann’s Kinderszenen, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Bax’s Tintagel, Mahler’s Song of the Night, Mendelssohn’s Hebrides, Rossini’s Barber of Seville, and Smetana’s Bartered Bride?
This is really interesting and for me explains a lot about the evolution of music. Thank goodness for those patrons who played their part in developing the use/joy of music beyond religious purposes! Another 5* video! Thank you!
Best classical music channel I've encountered, please continue ! I've already discovered some pieces thanks to you that I wouldn't even have considered before. Some love for you !
You mentioned Corelli in this survey. He is best known for one of the most iconic Pastorales for Christmas (Concerto Grosso in G Minor op. 6 no. 8 "Fatto per la Notte di Natale").
Could you please pretty please make Haydn’s Farewell Symphony after this episode please pretty please? I want you to describe what happens during the finale so I can see the musicians departing and please do the order of departure for me please!
Puccini made a very dark piece for string quartet: Crisantemi which not only fits into Halloween but also forshadows his first sucess with Manon Lescaut.
Thank you so much! Your support is greatly appreciated. We are still a small channel, essentially self-funding and purely driven by a mission to make classical music really accessible. But it takes time and money so currently have a backlog of four videos in production. Next one should be coming out imminently though! Stay tuned - and thanks for your support

That means so much to us - we are still small, self-funding and essentially driven by our mission to make classical music more accessible - but we will get there in the end!

Johannes Brahms is better known for his 5th Hungarian Dance which not only fits Halloween, but also appears in Little Einsteins Episodes (Hungairan Hiccups, and The Legend of the Golden Pyramid), along with two Lullabies for Christmas (Wiegenlied and Geistliches Weigenlied), a Chorale Prelude on Advent carol "Es ist Ein Ros Entpsrungen", 4 Symponies, Academic Festival Overture, Variations on Haydn, and German Requiem.
Hey, just found your channel and i'm trying to get through all the vids lol... what is the name of the beethoven string quartet that was played in the background pls? (the fast and somewhat aggressive one)!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the support! So glad you're enjoying. The piece is Beethoven's String Quartet No.11 ("Serioso"). Was written in 1810 and Beethoven told a friend of his that it should never be heard in public but only for a small circle of connoisseurs - so I put it up here for everyone to hear :)
Speaking of chamber music, I was wondering if you would ever cover Philip Glass and his contributions to both chamber music and classical music. I personally love how his take on the genre is to go infinite, especially with reeds and strings. He's a really good minimalist composer.☺️
I hope Liszt will get an episode of his own, as one of the first 'rock star' composers/performers of his day. I'm thinking principally of such pieces as 'Les Preludes' and the Hungarian Rhapsodies; but his other works would be a welcome addition.
You simply cannot make such a good video about this topic and not mention Schubert's last string quartets, his quintet D.956, the quartets of Schumann, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Borodin...
Thank you so much for your comment (and concern)! We are still a small channel, essentially self-funding the videos and trying to focus on the very best content possible so it is taking some time. But we currently have four videos in production with one for imminent release so stay tuned! Every little piece of support helps - so thank you for checking in!
We are not claiming that Corelli invented chamber music by any means! He's just a good place to start as far as popularising the sonata da camera goes. Of course, there were many other great composers out there - often whose music has not been truly appreciated - but we thought Corelli is certainly a well-known precursor to the nascent chamber music genre of the time
Would love to put him in this - but this was a five minute commission so just wasn't enough space to do so...Any suggestions on a Boccherini piece we might do?
Our fault! since it was created for all audiences we thought we should mark it as "for kids" but didn't realised TH-cam blocks comments... Never again :)
@@ClassicsExplained so why even thought make the video are made for kids even tho some of the other episode some are not for kids like ep 11 stalin regime ep 9 debussy beginning of the video uhh you know what i meant.
haha! We would have loved to - in fact, I was considering many more, including Zappa - but just not enough time to fit it in, particularly as this was to a brief

Thank you for covering the history of Chamber Music. I will now be inspired to tell my Violin teacher by texting her this.

Thanks so much - yes, you're absolutely right. Never overlook the patrons! Keep watching and hopefully enjoying!

With the exception of the ones that are endless, screeching, pyschotic cat-fights, I agree wholeheartedly, lol!

I love trout quintet
Nice Video, like always I learned something new, thanks for the explanation, keep going! 💚 👍
Thanks! Appreciate the support :))
Great stuff 👍
John Ireland's Christmas piece- The Holy Boy (originally premiering as a piano piece in 1913-15) had a string quartet version in 1941.
I love playing chamber music! And this was so cool!
Thanks so much :)

There is also Arnold Schonberg's Transfigured Night and Weihnachtsmusik.
Wow, I didn't realize who much fun it is to learn about the history of music!

these videos make me happy
The earliest Dark Chamber piece for Halloween is Tartini's Violin Sonata in G Minor "Devil's Trill". published in 1798.

Jolivet's Pastorales de Noels is a very modern chamber piece for Christmas.
*Thanks for the Content* !
Can you do Shostakovich's Symphony 11 or String Quartet 8/9?
LOVE both of these - thank you for the suggestion. Will add to our last :)
You miss Schoenberg quartets!!! He kept the structure but completely turned the tonality inside out 😂
I love Debussy and ravel
these are all really good
Thank you very much!
The Pastorales for Christmas and even Pachelbel's Canon & Gigue are examples of Chamber Music.
Great job Debussy and ravel
Medieval monks chant what is known as plainsong (often mispronounced as Gregorian Chant).
Borodin's second string quartet features a famous nocturne.
Do some Carmina Burana stuff please!!
Will you do one on the Kaiser Hymne?
We'll try to :)
The animation is 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!

Are there any more episodes that explains classical music?
We hope to work on more general videos like this in the future. At the moment we have a few more about to come out on specific pieces :)
@@ClassicsExplained Can you name a few?
I hope Liszt will get an episode of his own, as one of the first 'rock star' composers/performers of his day. I'm thinking principally of such pieces as 'Les Preludes' and the Hungarian Rhapsodies; but his other works would be a welcome addition.
Please make a video about Symphonie Fantastique
This is currently in production ;)
@@ClassicsExplained Yaaaaaaay
What's the piece in the beginning?
(The one played when mentioning corelli)
Hi there. It is Perotin's setting of the Viderunt omnes :)
@@ClassicsExplained I actually meant the next piece after this
The baroque one which i assume corelli wrote?
What's the name of that ? 🙏
Yes, this is Corelli's Sonata da chiesa a tre in E minor, op.1, no.2 (the allegro)
Shout out to Sibelius’ string quartets
haha indeed!
your anime is so interesting! and the accent hahahhahah
Thank you :)
you sjould have mention other composer that does for chamber music like antonio vivaldi
We wish we could have! But hope we got as many great composers into the five minutes as was possible :)
What is the chant at the beginning?
Hi there. It is Perotin's setting of the Viderunt omnes :)
@@ClassicsExplained tnx
can you do one on the Spanish dances
0:07 MC Monk looks like a manatee
* squee!!! * SCHUBERT!
Aw this was cute
Hadn't heard about Stockhausen and the helicopters!
That’s pretty dangerous
Shostakovich and his work under Stalin maybe?
Adding to the list! Thanks for the suggestion!

We are working on an American composer at the moment ;)
Do Rhapsody in Blue too!
Cute
The one dislike is from the harpsichord.
Haha good comment

Brahm is goodenough
The 827636 musicians and composers that wrote for chamber before corelli:
I am a joke to you?

The violist holding the instrument wrong the whole video is a little bit annoying
GREAT VIDEO ANYWAY
Where is Boccherini?
Would love to put him in this - but this was a five minute commission so just wasn't enough space to do so...Any suggestions on a Boccherini piece we might do?
I know, I know... it's music for us all... but I really don't like chamber music... still loved the video tho... keep'em coming.
First to be comment idk what happen that why it was set to kids that disable comment

4/5 was great but no nod to Zappa and his pioneering of "electric chamber music"
haha! We would have loved to - in fact, I was considering many more, including Zappa - but just not enough time to fit it in, particularly as this was to a brief
why are there so many blacks in baroque Europe? Are you American?
