- Hello! I'm an American on a quest to learn more about history, geography and the universe in general. In this video I listen to conductor Gianmaria Griglio breakdown Beethoven's famous score, explain some of the history behind it, and point out the various methods Beethoven used to express his story. Then I watch a live performance by
Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, conducted by Kurt Masur. If you enjoyed this video, please like and subscribe!

Hi, could you try to do a classical music episode on Orchestra conductor's if possible, I never really get what they are all about when the majority of the orchestra are playing and reading the sheet music! ?!?! .... What am I missing ?!?
Hi, you seem (might be wrong) to have your windows open which will make your AC work to hard to keep a regulated temp, it becomes inefficient, like having AC on in your car with windows open
@@steved6092 The legendary composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein gave a TV talk about conducting in 1955: th-cam.com/video/XeP_dsGoImw/w-d-xo.html The style is a bit old-school, but Bernstein was a great educator, so it's still worth a watch.
No, windows definitely aren’t open :) Ceiling fan might be blowing the curtains a bit. The AC’s broken. Has to be replaced tomorrow.
@@steved6092 That depends on weather its an evaporative AC of a refrigerated AC mate.
Beethoven was originally a fan of Napoleon and Bernadotte suggested that he should dedicate a symphony to Napoleon. Beethoven wrote his Third Symphony, "The Eroica" and wrote a dedication to Napoleon. But Napoleon made himself Emperor and Beethoven, thinking that Napoleon had betrayed the ethos of the French Revolution, tore the dedication off the symphony.
One of my favourite pieces.
"In France, the title of Marshal or Maréchal goes back to at least the 13th century...."
Gentleman, we meet again.
Hello again. ;)
The Leipzig Gewandhaus [approx "geh-VAND-house"] Orchestra is one of the oldest in Europe, dating to the 18th Century, and Mendelssohn was once its principal conductor. Many distinguished conductors followed in his wake, including Kurt Masur, who we saw here. He had a long association with the Gewandhaus until his death in 2015, and was its principal conductor from the 1970s to the late 90s; he went on to be principal conductor of the New York and London Philharmonic Orchestras (among others).
Loved your reaction as ever :)
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who wrote the opera "Egmont" that Beethoven did this piece for, is also worth you looking into. He is probably Germany's biggest literary name and some compare him to Shakespeare. Another of his works was the poem "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", which a French composer later put music to...and that's where Disney's Fantasia comes from. (Fun fact - when Walt Disney was creating Fantasia, he needed some audio equipment and went to two guys in a garage in California called Hewlett and Packard...that first order was largely responsible for their new company being a success. So Goethe indirectly created HP computers!)
We use to play this when I was a kid, I was on horn in F, loved ripping those high G's out.
I think if you could only ever listen to one classical composer for the rest of your life you should choose Beethoven !
Might have to listen to the intro again !! ... good vid
Loved your approach to the music. Analysis, history, and very little interruption throughout. Well done. FYI, An Overture is a piece of music for the orchestra to play at the beginning of an opera or ballet. The word comes from the French word for "opening" because it "opens" the show. Overtures usually have tunes which are going to be heard during the opera or ballet. In this way it prepares the audience for what is to come.
It's really nice to see your reaction to this music and your desire to learn more. It's a never ending journey that will last your whole life.
15:30 Not Berlin wall but almost right. Leipzig was in East Germany and according to DW there were 70000 protesters on the streets in this city on that date that made the regime realise they were losing control. I had been in West Germany a few years before and this seemed impossible back then.
If you Google the date you will see.
The church would be significant as religion was discouraged in the East under communism. I imagine they also felt occupied like German states under Napoleon and the Dutch under Spanish Netherlands.
I played this at school. 40 years later someone tells me the story!
Leipzig is a large town in East Germany, and this work from Beethoven was played in (if I am not mistaken) the St. Nicholas Church (German: Nikolaikirche).
Sogal out of context: "Beheading? Which is my favourite thing, you know..."
It's great, that you are doing a little bit of theory before. It helps me, too. I prefer hearing the piece before and after the theory. But, of course, I can hear it before the video. I think for modern people it's difficult, to understand the music of that period, when it's not explained (or analyzed by the hearer himself). But to feel it's effect, it's good to hear it first. Furthermore it's the way we did it in school. Some things stick for lifetime. And since we all can here it before watching your video, you are doing it the right way, I think.
Wúnderbar!
Thanks
Sorry couldn’t watch on Sunday to much football on telly so watching Monday morning as Scotland play this afternoon
Beethoven did also 'Wellingtons Victory' on Wellingtons Victory at Vittoria. Since there are several military signals and contemporary well known music is included, it's very interesting. It was first played two month after the battle of Leipzig in Vienna and was a great success: The musicians hat to repeat it two times.
About the "Eroica"; it is said that when Beethoven redesignated
the symphony he uttered: "In remembrance of a hope that were not fulfilled",
i.e. the hopes he had for the new European order that revolutionary
France would bring to bear, though extinguished by Napoleon
crowning himself emperor in 1804.
Beethoven drew me here but I've subscribed because I love you! How about doing some modern classical, like Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' or jazz, 'So What ' by Miles Davis for example.
Love this piece. The Trooping of the Colour (for The Queen’s official birthday) was yesterday, it’d be great to see what you think of it :)
Great idea (especially as it was a shorter one due to the pandemic descriptions), but she should make sure she watches the BBC version with commentary as it'll explain what's going on.
@@BlameThande I thought Trooping the Colour at Windsor Castle lost a lot of impact owing to the reduced scale of the event.
Great idea, but the most of it was reduced this year.
By the time Napoleon was exiled to Elba Beethoven was identifying with liberty and Germanic patriotism, he professed himself to be on the side of the allies, going on to write a short orchestral work in celebration of Wellington’s victory at the Battle of Vitoria.
Goethe is pronounced in another way. There is no th like in the english language within the german one. It was lost there in the 9th century. So the 'th' is spoken as a simple t in English. The 'h' after 't' is just very old orthography, which is only found in names and very few words like 'Thron' today. The 'e' at the end is spoken like the 'e' in 'Wellington'. The 'oe' is spoken like the vowel in the french words 'feu' or 'oeuvre'. Try to speak the 'e' in 'bed' with closely rounded lips. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is the most famous german poet. His most famous writings are 'Faust' and 'Die Leiden des jungen Werthers'. He also did science and acted as politician. If you only have time to learn about 4 german authors or poets, this should be Goethe, Friedrich von Schiller, Heinrich Heine and Thomas Mann. In his days Goethe was so famous, that even Napoleon came to visit him.
That rendition reminded me of the wonderful Vienna Philharmonic New Year’s Concert from the Golden Hall, Vienna. This concert always features music for the Strauss family and various other composers, but is was not until very recently that Beethoven featured.
The Eroica, I think, is the most concentrated outpouring of creative genius in history.
You should also do Bethoven's Wellingtons' Victory.
... aka "The Bargain Basement 1812" :)
hi SoGal & Beethoven UK hit a barmy 28, 29 C this weekend
I think that should be "balmy", although barmy works just as well... it was madly hot today :)
Ah, it’s currently 34C here.
You could react to the Light Cavalry Overture by the Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Von Suppé, almost certainly you have heard it. Greetings from Guatemala City in Central America.
I remember the 9th very well, a very unusual Thursday in Berlin
Hello SoGal and Beethoven.
Nice to be back to normal with the weekly video where I know little and learn most. Is it just me or are bits of this reflected in 1812 overture?
Hey SoGal, thanks for this. I love seeing people opening their ears and eyes to classical music and watching you I could see it struck a chord with you (sorry bout the pun). Ludwig was a genius, to be honest many composers of the time were. They were all different. I have no favourite.
It just keeps getting better.
Tip for your next one: Vivaldi's four seasons.
Try Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture written about the Russian defence against Napoleon.
Hey! The orchestra play so much behind Curt Masur's beat at the beginning, I've never seen anything this late!. But the orchestra still perfectly together....good show! Strings really beefy in this recording, nice.
I guess when it’s that hot, chill out with Beethoven
He's conducting a few beats ahead of what we hear, because he is cueing the orchestra, not following along as the rest of us do.
Hello SoGal, Beethoven (In no way shape or form is Roger!) and Scarlett.
This video is pretty good. There is more effort in this video there is in the last ones judging by the fact that you added visuals and things. There is also more reaction to the music which was pretty good I guess. Pat on the head for that.
By the looks of things, this video looks to be edited today due to later release time.
I do have things to tell later but not here. So see you later today or tomorrow.
The music was done for a play by Goethe, which explains Wikipedia here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egmont_(play)
It differs a bit to the real history of the Count of Egmont, again Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamoral,_Count_of_Egmont
It's an experience hearing live orchestra s in churches cathedral s they add an air of drama or emotion. Leipzig was heavily bombed during the second world war although I'm not sure if this church was damaged and rebuilt or escaped damage.
Lamoraal van Egmont was a nobleman from the low-countires in the 1500's (1522-1568) in the confusing times (for me anyway) of the spanish rule over parts of europe. In short he was a catholic loyal to the spanish king who ruled over holland in those days. As our royals are related to him our dreadfully boring anthem still has us mumble in his honour....brrr
Anyways.. When the Spanish Inquisition was brought to the low countries and protestants had to fear for their lives, Lamoraal van Egmont (named after a small seaside town near Alkmaar, north of Amsterdam now, back then had a large influencial Abbey) took the complaints of the local ruling class to the king in spain but returned without succes. the king sent count Alva to sort the 'country' out. He arrested van Egmont and as we all know, had him beheaded, which in the end invigorated the uprising against the king is generally seen as the beginning of the 80-year war of the low-countries (netherland-belgium-bit of luxemburg is think) against spain, which is a whole new video series ;-)
here's a fine, condensed, clip about the 80-year war: th-cam.com/video/ns7mS0J3DVs/w-d-xo.html
