This piece is based on the events of 9 Jan 1905, the "Bloody Sunday" Massacre. Innocent protesters gathered outside the Tsar's palace on the freezing cold snowy morning, begging to speak to him about their poor living conditions. The soldiers opened fire on them, killing every single one. The snow was red with blood. The Tsar wasn't even there.
Lol, but seriously. I remember somewhere wherein his son, Maxim, described how depressing and anxious Shostakovich's life was. Imagine just receiving news of friends and relatives being executed on nearly day-to-day and written on the execution list of a dictator.
He felt something strange because of the events which happened before...and the music exactly describes them...it was cold, raided and frightened people ... it's amazing
BROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE TEMPOOOOOOOOOO WHOEVER THOUGHT THIS TEMPO DEPICTED WHAT SHOSTY DEPUCTED SO PERFECTLY IS AN EINSTEIN LEVEL GENIUS!!!!!!;
Conducting a song faster than it's written is not really einstein level tbh. Also "shosty" wrote it in a slower tempo for a reason, so saying it shows what he depicted is kinda dumb. I think it's a cool and interesting interpretation, don't get me wrong. I just don't think it's that great or that it takes a genius to do it
Who's here because Ayanokoji Kiyotaka in Classroom of the Elite said this played in his head when he was approached by Suzune Horikita for the first time?
it's so cool he was able to criticize the government of his time, just by writing a horrific musical rendition of a massacre that had happened under the previous one. this man was not just a musical genius, but a clever dissenter. also, on the note of tempo: when playing his own works on the piano, Shostakovich was rather infamous for playing very fast. i say good on this band for keeping up with him.
@@AdamantSeraph It's not a march. It's the depiction of a massacre. Why on earth would you think it's a march? Because it has drums in it? If it had been a march, the depiction of death that follows immediately after it, would not make any sense. Marches don't kill people. Massacres do. Unless you imagine the Tsar's soldiers walking over the crowd in a stately pace without firing a shot. The entire programmatic structure of the symphony hinges on the depiction of violence of these 2 minutes. If you remove the violence, the whole buildup of the 1st and 2nd movements is rendered abortive, and the 3rd and 4th movements become moot.
I can listen to music and usually I’ll feel nothing, maybe a little bit happy, or sad or something, this however truly makes me feel fear, I can feel my heart rate shoot up when I hear the snare’s gunshot sounds at the start.
I gorged on this stuff 40 years ago!! But now i am old and tired and i can no longer bear it and when it is agony to listen to Shostakovich i can only wonder what kind of agony was it for him to BE Shostakovich?? I can only pity him
Cuirassé Potemkine 1925, Eisenstein Analyse : -Construction de la bande son parties séparées par une interludes : *fusillade (matraque, pdv de l'opresseur) *Pdv de l'opprimé (même schéma que 1er partie mais moins bourrins)
It doesen't sound too difficult to play it at that tempo in my opinion. I say this because I know wind players can double and triple tongue and string players can play caprice 5(for violinists in any case)
THGRIMREAPER it’s not unheard of to play it at this speed if you have very talented musicians, but it’s not what Shostakovich wrote and most people don’t like it this fast.
Interpretation, other wise the piece would sound the same as other recordings, it's the conductors job to change it only enough that is different to others and that it is unique
thats what im saying man i see all these comments talking about "oh the speed fits the subject matter of the piece" but its so fast you can't hear shit
2:30 is my reaction to when someone says classical music is boring...
Vengoheim i think that's how Brett and Eddy would've reacted
@@glecyrances1874 FEEL THE OPRESSION
This is actually not classical music, it's modern. You probably just meant orchestral music.
@@GiftedScope it's 20th century classical music

Thank you twoset for this

Shostakovich... My man... Were you ok..?
Here's my manuscript
Lol

Try 10th's 2nd movement Allegro while driving 100 mph down the highway!! ( th-cam.com/video/C2T97GsY0nI/w-d-xo.html )

A boss fight but the boss isn't even there

This is only the middle section of the 2nd movement, the whole second movement is roughly 19minutes
I'm glad someone cut it though. My God these symphonies are long.
@@KabooM1067 there's a piano solo that's roughly 9 hours long. No *full* recording of it exists, just parts of it

2:30 When you have only 1 minute until the class starts and you're right at the academy's gate
Now listen to this while doing maths exercises.
So that we can relate😂
You'll be afraid of being sent to the gulags, so u'll do it faster👍
Lol, that's exactly what I do with Algebraic Expressions for some reason.
Lmao im doing the same thing 🤝
wow i prooved the riemann hypothesis
Noticeably faster tempo than several other interpretations. Kudos to the virtuosity of the orchestra.
Fast tempo is false virtuosity
It’s a little too fast in my opinion
Personally I like it at this tempo, though I think I enjoy it both ways. At this speed it sounds much more frantic and urgent
@@danksamosa3952 Not if it's played well.

Lol
I also read he made a comment on the music playing in the library.. according to him it was Beethovens 6 th symphony
Me LMAO
wait which episode?
Yo this happened?

Did you just call a symphonic orchestra a band
This is so epic. He is an amazing composer hands down
How does this calm me

My favorite interpretation. Very well done.
This Sounds Like Boss Music
Who is conductor, this tempo is amazing
Evgeny Mravinsky ?
It is too fast...it is a march...slightly too fast
@@rongthesalamander6933 He's talking about the conductor, not the composer.

Shostakovich - The First Headbanger\o/
Haunting.
2:30 Best part begis☺️
really good tempo
That picture... Your head when someone says your music sounds like it's from Star wars:
*Carti Has Been Silent Since This Hit From 2023 Goes Hard*
"The classical myoosik is relaxing"
not me headbanging to this
When you get chase by ghost or the end of world is near
My brain: autoplay this music 😂😂
I gorged on this stuff 40 years ago!!
But now i am old and tired and i can no longer bear it
and when it is agony to listen to Shostakovich i can only wonder what kind of agony was it for him to BE Shostakovich??
I can only pity him

Writing and premiering this within Stalin's lifetime, was nothing short of courageous. He was a committed artist, for sure.
Im here because ayanokoji said This music played at my head
Same!

Came here from Volume 1
Гениально. Genial.
There’s no way that this was the real tempo that they played at. This is nearly double speed from what Shostakovich wrote.
CheeseburgerDragon 789 0.75x tempo is more like it
