Some people run for the trees when they hear the name Philip Glass, but I adore what others might call repetition but which I hear as subtle variations on a theme and a cumulative exhilarating sound. Mr Hardtner is clearly the nonpareil in his field.
Yes, it's the other way around. Originally composed for violin and presented here in an arrangement for marimba and vibraphone. はい、その逆です。 もともとはヴァイオリンのために作曲され、マリンバとビブラフォンのための編曲でここに提示されました。 Hope, it's okay with Google-Translation. ;-)
The explanation is simple, but the implementation needs some experience in the rehearsal. ;-) Frequent repetition automates the technical processes. Then the compositional approach of minimal music helps you to think in patterns and loops. At the end of the rehearsal you have to remember "only" the individual points for the next loop. The mental challenge is not to confuse the minimal changes and variations in the process. Concentration is a great help here, especially if you memorize the entire Philip Glass concert together with the Marimba Concerto by Ney Rosauro in one performance. (Looks here: th-cam.com/video/TdMn-iVWc40/w-d-xo.html) But some practice in the musical work without printed music notes helps, is a good mental workout and keeps you mentally young! ;-)All best, Roland Härdtner
@@rolandhaerdtner well I can't tell you how much I enjoy listening to you play I just wish you would be able to play live over here at the Philadelphia Orchestra where I'm a subscriber. And my two cousins were principal oboist and bassoonist under Bernstein with the New York Philharmonic in the 60s.Best regsrds.
Yes, a very interesting and efectful piece! In the performance with the Berliner Philharmoniker, it was just a lot of fun to see nice colleagues again after many years.
Great arrangement. Beautifully played. you have realized a piece much better suited to keyboards than violin for the solo, although as a percussionist I may be a little biased.
Thank you very much Russell Fane for your feedback. Yes, the imagination to make this piece maybe not better but with a new sound and transparence of rhythmical structures was the motivation to this arrangement. Happy to get a confirmation like your comment! :-)
The chordal technique is not suitable for violin, so as far as technical situation is concerned, it's actually more idiomatic for marimba. The "violin concerto", as beautiful as it sounds, the violin solo part is awful.

Bravo... love the piece and the performance! Thank you for sharing this movement.
Norm Freeman Thank you Norm. It's wonderful to get feedback like this!
Excellent 👍
Seriously, modern art exists

Thanks a lot for your description of this music. That means what I feel. :-)
@@rolandhaerdtner ....I am deeply honoured by your reply. Thank you.
This is great. So profound.
But in addition, the version with Amy Dickson on soprano sax is amazing.
木琴と鉄琴の使う場所！逆なのでは？

Absolutely GREAT PERFORMANCE! WELTKLASSE!
Thanks a lot! :-)
All of this is majestic, but that section at 5.53 utterly thrills me.
How did he play this from memory?

Brilliant arrangement and magnificent performance! Bravo 👏
What about Gubaidulina's "Glorious Percussion". What do You think about this Masterpiece???
Yes, a very interesting and efectful piece! In the performance with the Berliner Philharmoniker, it was just a lot of fun to see nice colleagues again after many years.
I really think that S. Gubaidulina found a NEW LANGUAGE OF MUSIC - the language of musical forms.
Great arrangement. Beautifully played. you have realized a piece much better suited to keyboards than violin for the solo, although as a percussionist I may be a little biased.

Russell Fane this just shows how badly written this piece is for violin.
my neurons are dancing
beautiful version, thanks for the work put into this.
That´s just wonderful!
Briliant

Thanks! :)

Well, Glass, the composer, may just disagree with that opinion.
You just don't like how harsh strings sound,bro
Admit it
One person downvoted this??? WTF?
I felt quite low on energy today but this helps!
The more I listen music to this the more I appreciate its power.
i know I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Maddox Draven i watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Maddox Draven I use FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
Impresionante🎶🥂
I wouldn't say better, I'd just say different. Very cool though
This is beautiful!!
BEAUTIFUL!! THANK YOU!!
very nicely played
Love it
This is the violin concerto
Did you not read that this is the violin concerto as arranged for marimba and vibes?
I'll be able to do this some day.
Hi there...you wrote five years ago. Hope you have achieved some of your dreams.
It’s been 9 years and I’m 26. Still can’t do it lol.
Wow embarrassing yet interesting. This place is like a time capsule sometimes
very good
The most extraordinary, the most magnificent, playing by Roland Hardtner.
