As a violist myself, hearing the violas playing the melody so warm, colourful and graceful in Élégie really struck a cord in my heart 🥺❤️ this piece as a whole is so beautiful and a work of art
@@davidsanderson5918 no one said it was excessive. i was just making a joke about the fact that it was a lot. and you just happened to get whooshed, mate.
3 years ago I listened to this song all the time.. hearing it now brings my mind to a relaxed tranqulity, I didnt know I needed again. Music can truly be stunning sometimes.
Lucky all! Which country are you in? in Melbourne Australia we are still in stage 4 lockdown so no live ensemble music making until at least mid of next year, or later 😔 Keep well, keep safe, keep musical!
This piece is known to be one of Tchaikovsky's favorite works, and it is easy to see why knowing his own musical taste. There are various, vague references to Mozart's style; its youthful exuberance and late 18th-century structure. After all, Mozart wrote many serenades, albeit very different in instrumentation and length (most were earlier symphonic works, others were for wind ensembles. The only serenade remotely similar to this one is Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.) However, Tchaikovsky doesn't just copy Mozart's style, he emulates it in a way where his own (accomplished) voice as a composer can shine brightly in this charming and heartfelt work. The élégie is one of the greatest movements he ever wrote.
Sir, you are correct about the elegie. It is his greatest slow movement and yes, one of his greatest creations...the gorgeous counterpoint and that haunting ending just gives me chills...in his best music there is this cool restraint not always on display in some of his later works. Thank you for saying it. It is so vastly underrated. I'm reminded of the two wonderful slow movements in his 3rd symphony that rescue an otherwise very ordinary score. I have such fondness and nostalgic soft spot for this work.
I dare to disagree. Yes, this is more in Viennese classicism style, but this is not his best work, because there's no beautiful melodies like in ballet music, in piano and violin concertos .
I'm actually working on this piece of music right now for my high school festival performance and might i say it is really complex but it's such a pretty work of art
those aren't actually hard the hard part about that passage is the string crossing, getting them clean and having every note speak. the double stops there aren't awkward or weird, they are actually nicely written for cello.
The first time I heard this music was from my baptismal god-father in a church choir. I did not forget that music, and am now 68 and I'm still in love with it...forever! Everyone be blessed.
Tchaikovsky compositions are literally singing out loud he made those instruments perform their utmost so passionate, so dynamic! Master of melodies none other than Tchaikovsky 💯👏🔥💥
Tchaikovsky and Edvard Grieg were close friends. There is a clear influence of this work on Griegs work "Fra Holbergs tid", the famous suite written for string orchestra for the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ludvig Holberg, a Norwegian/Danish writer, philosopher and history professor born in Griegs hometown Bergen in 1684.
@@bennyksmusicalworld While it was indeed originally a piano suite, it was arranged for string orchestra by the composer a year later, and is thus best known and mostly performed as a suite for strings
my orchestra did the holberg suite a fee months n we have to play the 2nd & 4th mvts of this for some national comp bc we were 1 of 12 orchestras in the us chosen for this. Im a 1st violin ao im gonna die playing this
This is such an exquisite performance. I love how sensitive and expressive this ensemble is- they know how and where to take their time and where to let the music flow. And ugh the waltz, it just sounds so graceful and nimble, like someone dancing on tip toes, as it should be! Love it!
....and easily detect the Giant's reverence for Mozart....the delicacy and restraint in the fact of overbrimming emotion. Greetings from San Agustiillo!
@@steveegallo3384 Love the way you put it - "delicacy and restraint in the fact of overbrimming emotion." Well-said! That way you get the moments of yearning and the gushes which satiate the soul
I heard this on the radio today and was mesmerized by it yet also embarrassed that I never heard it before! It is so beautiful and I am grateful I didnt miss out on hearing it in this lifetime !! Thank you for sharing it!
astonishing counterpoint, as well as harmony and melody, Tchaikovsky was one of those rare talented geniuses like Mozart who mastered their art and was able to put all of what they learned to use to create masterpieces such as this and to express their souls.
By far my favorite Tchaikovsky work. It makes excellent road trip music. If any of you fans out there have never seen the world famous neo-classical ballet masterpiece of George Balanchine, it is a must see. Balanchine’s choreographic treatment for this music changed the face of classical dance for the next 80 years and counting. The ballet is known simply as Serenade. Look it up
I danced to this in a ballet recital back in the 90s. It was a big deal because it was my first pointe number in a pancake tutu. When I heard it in Squid Game I was brought right back to that moment. I love moments like that! Such a gorgeous piece of music.
While he wrote more profound and emotional works later in life, this is, in my opinion, one of his most perfect pieces. Just fits together really well, with no issues at all. His later symphonies are amazing too, but (especially no. 5) are a bit rough around the edges sometimes, as with his concerti. This, on the other hand - I can't find any problems with it at all. Not that I'm looking :P
I absolutely love Serenade for Strings, but I’m partial to his string sextet Souvenir de Florence, especially the 2nd and 4th movements. Also, I think the reason I love the 5th symphony so much is because it’s imperfect, its character is human. It’s said Tchaikovsky himself was the “hero” of his own symphonies, which makes sense because he thoroughly poured his heart and soul into each one.
@@thesilvershining I absolutely agree. The Souvenir de Florence is another of the 'no-issues' pieces. The fifth Symphony, I'll mostly agree with, too, but for me the beginning of the coda (the two bars of accompaniment before the big theme comes back) do somewhat ruin the piece for me. Without those two bars it's probably my favourite work by the man - though, again, admittedly, not in my opinion, his best. :P
I am a violist in an amateur orchestra and have perfect pitch. There are challenging semiquaver runs and very high notes for the first violins. Some of the passages are divisi. I like the major first inversion chords at the beginning (C chord with the E in the bass - wow!)

This piece was once performed by Hannu Lintu, the Finnish conductor, conducting Boston Symphony Orchestra on October 11, 2018. I remember because we were there :)
Damn, no wonder why it seemed so familiar! This (the 1st movement) our secondary school orchestra tried to play but nope (totally beyond our level). Yet we played it for a long while, and the opening is simply glorious (the whole tune too!)
Wonderful idea, this channel of videos like this! Great to be able to follow along with the music! (Denison University orchestra recently performed this and I wanted to hear it again and, wow, so cool to be able to see the music, too! Thank you for posting!! 😃
This is the MOST FUN I've had following a score with a piece in years!! The final movement especially. It's pretty much perfect as a performance except I didn't think some of the bowed trems came through in the recording. At a couple of points it doesn't sound like they did them. On a compositional level, I wonder why Tchaikovsky only decided to have those triplet bowed trems in the violins. Why didn't he have them in rhythmic unison throughout the ensemble leading to the big finish? Just a query, sir!!
@@Tysmizzy10 i played viola on this, my favorite parts had to be the notes after the descending notes at 26:33 because of how powerful it felt playing it and the molto meno moso because of how emotional and dramatic it can sound
a greatly-underrated work as it is not the usual Tchaikovsky work with rich orchestral coloration. For an analogue, think of Brahms' two string sextets
Cellos at 2:30 ... it's hard but it's worth it - such great music! Doing the first movement in a school concert in a few weeks. Thanks for this great upload! Nice to see the score, gives an insight into the other parts.
I hope the concert will go/went well! ...if it happened with all of this corona stuff that is:( (if it got cancelled, I am so sorry! There’s nothing like getting a musical performance taken away). Last semester some of the members of my orchestra volunteered to play the first movement. Our director really didn’t give us much time, so we weren’t as prepared as we had hoped :(. We ended up cutting out a bunch of the redundant parts to ease the burden. It was still tons of fun though!
Luckily this concert happened before the lockdown began, and it went pretty well, thanks, but several others have been postponed :( Definitely the right thing to do mind... Glad your concert was fun too. It's always... interesting when you don't have enough preparation time!
Thank you so much! I have an audition coming up soon where I need to play a small excerpt of this and this video really helped me understand it more which made it easier to practice!!
Something I never understood about the 1st movement, "piece in sonata form"... but it doesn't have a development section. Theme B of Exposition ends in 05:11, and reexposition begins, with no development section per se. I know, both themes in exposition are very developed, but with that title ("in sonata form") and such big exposition, I was expecting a huge development. I'm the only one who is surprised by this?
DGonzalez Tutoriales Unity en Español technically the piece is in the form a sonatina, which doesn't have as strict a definition as sonata-allegro. Leaving out the development is still within the realm of a sonatina and while not commonplace, isn't unheard of.
