I don't know how Igor Stravinsky did it, or what drove him to compose such a terrifyingly amazing work, but this piece has more time changes than probably any other classical piece out there. What a performance, and I couldn't imagine trying to count it.
@@AndreyRubtsovRU For sure. I guess Stravinsky was a huge inspiration for newer composers to try to experiment with time signature changes, and how they were meant to work in a piece.
He collapsed from a fever in his work room whilst composing Petrushka. He wrote his music on blackboards that surrounded the room apparently and his students would turn up in the morning and transfer it to paper. He said he saw the whole of the Rite as he fell and then had to work out how to write it down. Which is why he wrote the Sacrificial Dance twice. May or may not be true but may answer your thoughts.
2:47 these trumpets' melody is something out of this world... It just comes from nowhere and carries music on. This kind of music will never be written. Stravinsky is a genius..

I think this is one of if not my favorite classical piece, especially in the augurs of spring towards the end. The layers and depth in the piece is remarkable, I’ve been listening to it for years and in each different recording I listen to it’s like I hear something I’ve never heard before. It’s really phenomenal
Ive listened to the Sacrificial Dance hundreds of times by now and I still cannot figure out any significant pattern to the single, double, triple or quadruple hit rhythms.
The Rite of Spring was a toe tappin good old-fashioned hoedown type of music I don't know why people think it's so great. It's just common time and Hillbillies thru-and-thru said an idiot
It's like the dancing girl's heart is spasming out of control, especially during that last frenzy right before the end. And the whole passage starts and stops, like she keeps collapsing from exhaustion, but she forces herself to get back up and continue. It's spooky!
You know I think Max Steiner really took a lot of the right of spring for King Kong if you listen to what you'll know what I mean. AND.. there was a kid name Akira Ifukube washing dishes in Japan a long time ago when he heard the right of spring on a radio. So he became a composer and you can absolutely see where he took from the sacrificial dance for his composition in Godzilla King of the monsters. Ha!
For some reason I really enjoyed listening this as a 4-year old and since I know the piece quite well, I was fairly confident that I would rock this. I still failed the bass drum round, though :D
I had so much fun clapping along. It was very very fun. Thank you, I was laughing at the sudden pop ups😄 I will have my 5 year old niece try this with me😁
Tbh, this is actually the easiest of Stravinsky’s 3 early ballets to play. Yes the sound is more avant-garde, and the rhythms are a bit more spastic, but the actual music in firebird and pertushka is wayyy harder.
I'm not a professional musician, I don't play an instrument and I could still do this almost perfectly... but only because I've listened to this piece so many times that I know it by heart 😂
what a rockin piece! I have been studying this score for the last month and its hard to believe it was written in 1913, it still sounds so modern today.
The one who conducted it the worst was Stravinsky. He only liked a few parts of this though he states- and its in my Stravinsky collection that he was "the vessel through which le sacre passed" as he was guided by no system at all. WHOA!
which statement about the world is more radical: a) playing The Stars and Stripes on your electric guitar with your tongue, b) smashing your bass guitar into a Marshall box, c) playing 16 bars of "Sacre" on any given instrument?
Having played this a number of times, I would.say the hard thing is that you are 100 people trying to play it and if you go on what you hear you won't be in time. This is obviously a good orchestra playing, but it is still not 100% together. I remember trying to find a good enough recording to practice it play-along with, and ended up playing with a MIDI version. An orchestra is a "heavy body" spread out over a large area, and when you play it you have to play with that in mind. And never go against the percussion :)
I find this comment interesting. There's a composer who is really just an authority on the Rite of Spring and his name is Quinn Mason. He's a young composer who has just rocketed to a great height and a short time. He has a documented every single recording by orchestra by year .... Over 300. I'm going to ask him what he thinks or you could just by looking at any video on his TH-cam channel. You make a great point
There's a video called the chosen one test on my channel. Millicent Hodson... Who reconstructed this masterpiece.. instructs the dancers to forget the music and" think I am a metronome". And it is truly the only way you could dance to this and I think you could apply it even to these changes that you're pointing out and everyone else is just to think metronome what do you say?
Actually don't tell me more watch the joffrey ballet perform this ballet after 70 years in a draw somewhere. They had nothing to go on no video to watch there to just pull from inside their gut and I'm telling you each dancer was an instrument. I'm very interested in your opinion
You know. Fun fact: this sacrificial dance was going to be part of the original idea for the the rite of spring for the extended story of the segment in Fantasia movie. it was going to be played where a bunch of early caveman dancing around in the circle for the discovery of fire. But Disney scaled it back from that idea because the creationists will make trouble if Disney ever included human evolution in his movie. So it was shortened to 22 minutes and it ended with the sun sets in the water filled planet after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
I'll tell you what. Watch this thing I threw together which is an explanation of the dark story behind this and if you still hate it I will send you a pizza doesn't matter where you live I will send it. Doesn't matter if you want it or not I will send it. But watch this video and then let me knowth-cam.com/video/8pCCujH2x3w/w-d-xo.html
There are a number of double-edged ironies surrounding the piece's reception. First it was the age of modernist primitivism -- Gauguin going off to Bali and all of that, African fetishes being collected -- and the Noble Savage was in the air. Second, although Nicholas Roerich, who conceived the tableaux, was sort of an Aleksandr Dugin of his time, a mystical cultural ideologue who gloried in Russian history, Stravinsky was a European Russian and dedicated to a thoroughly progressive musical vision. Gussied up folk tunes from the provinces these were not (despite the Lithuanian folk tune that allegedly inspired the opening bassoon). So the terminally jaded bourgeois audiences who first reacted with shock and horror at the ballet premiere and then ecstatically at its premiere as a concert piece, had to come to terms with the primitivist subtext, which they were unable to do. No nostalgic evocation of a lost past, they read it as a thorough repudiation of barbarism. Unlike the Russian nationalist composers who Stravinsky at the time was lumped in with, the techniques he used were pure modernist, without much antecedent save in his own earlier music.

Wow, it's been a hot minute since I last listened to this piece, I should listen to it again.

The layers and depth in the piece is remarkable, I’ve been listening to it for years and in each different recording I listen to it’s like I hear something I’ve never heard before. It’s really phenomenal
I saw this and thought, “I should try and sight read the rite of spring”
I should not have tried to sight read the rite of spring
Stravinsky could not even write this - he didn't have theory for it. It was in his head....
Well, it seemed Ike a good idea at the time. 😢

2:10 It supposed to be subito fortissimo, but there was no change in loudness 😅
Story behind this: Stravinsky innovatively used rhythm instead of melody to tell the story

Best way to learn about a score, you'd learn about the driving rhythm first, then could you follow the whole score, brilliant idea.
