@@kofiLjunggren Symphony No.3 - Albert Roussel, Symphonic Metamorphosis -Paul Hindemith, Francis Poulenc - Sonata for Flute and Piano and Concerto for piano and wind instruments - Igor Stravinsky
Richard .... I could never find the words to describe the first movement and I go to TH-cam and I find your comment. Thank you for putting my excitement and joy into One ... Perfect ... Sentence ...
Hmm, but there's some strange currents - modulations and tonal instabilities that would be highly unusual in the classical period. But the symphony has a reassuring smile on its face, and a cheeky wink here and there.
I like following a score like this : it shows how much effort and skill the composer spent to make this joyful, uplifting work. If one is starting in music ( e.g., choral singing), get a recording, listen till you know it generally by heart / " ear", then get the score, and it helps you understand it better... In choral singing, at the advanced age of 38, I started with Handel's "Messiah", ' got it " ( Alto part), then self-taught basic piano, then went to several " Come And Sing" concerts, (one at Bournemouth Winter Garden : there's posh !). Then ( overlapping), basic singing technique lessons, then joined a choral society .🎼 Best thing I ever did ! I used the same method to learn ,then sing Mozart's sublime Requiem : " Magic"!, as it all went perfectly: Romsey Abbey have : full of singer's 💕🎼. Love from England.☺️. ☺️🌟🎹☺️🇬🇧🎼💕 Many thanks

It's not hard to play for professional musicians because of alternation. The hard thing is to be precise in the alternating beginnings... Double tonguing following the same.. Sounds harder when you hear it than it actually is for two
I really like how in this recording you can hear all the separate instruments and their melodies and how they work together. In the recordings I've heard before you could only hear one big harmonic lump
Our orchestra is going to play this. We are all very nervous. In fact, we are having some "voluntary" rehearsals just for the strings. I hope I can pull this off.
Because I become obsessed with one composer or another, I forget how beautiful a piece like this one is and how much pleasure it has given me throughout the years. Prokofiev is among the gods. I have been thinking lately that some music must indeed be inspired, as religious people claim that books like the Bible are "the Word of God." Some musical works are so magical, so profound and moving that they seem divine: This is what God is like.
This orchestra plays without a conductor -- which is astonishing! Somehow they have produced one of the sharpest, cleanest, and fastest recordings of this symphony, without a conductor. Most other orchestras audibly struggle with keeping cohesion even at slower tempi.
Beautiful, thanks for the great upload. I play piano myself, and I love the way you've put all the sheets of music on screen so you can follow along, VERY interesting to watch an orchestra playing! Cheers!
John Shaw I would have said the final movement, 'Molto Vivace', sounds like someone laughing. I also think this final movement sounds a lot like the music that Milt Franklyn, the Music Director of the *Looney Toons* cartoons, was playing with.
This was the first symphony I ever tried listening to while reading the score.....ah, this takes me back! Haven’t managed to play this yet, but that last movement is a rolling fight for first violins - I know it’ll happen for me one day but the fear is real!
Thanks for the score! And holy cow! Orpheus isn't kidding in the last movement with their MOLTO vivace! Vivacississississime! Apparently Prokofiev wrote this to counter the critics who said that he wrote the way he did because he couldn't write in classical style. This is a perfect Classical style symphony, and a perfect parody of a Classical style symphony.
When I heard this symphony for the first time I thought that either he lost some bet or wanted to say Look, I can write like that, but I choose not to.
I am on a quest to listen to this symphony along with 3 other symphonies, to compare and contrast, according to David Hurwitz's book Beethoven Or Bust (1992) 1. Haydn's #102, Mozart's Symphony No. 40 and Schubert's Symphony No. 5.

While strolling in the meadows of the present, you can pick bouquets of crazy and improbable flowers, come back with sumptuous extracts of this sensitive musician and skinned and say that you sometimes gain time to ignore so much of these contemporary musics to finally gain in serenity ;-)
I've absolutely loved this piece ever since I first heard it in the late 60's when classical music was just beginning to be what is to this day still a major part of my life, when I was starting to learn the piano. About the same time, there was a children's TV programme to which excerpts of this very stirring and beautiful symphony were the theme tune. It was called 'The Flaxton Boys'. Does anyone else remember this?
Love his symphonies . . . and this is my fave. I often wonder how Prokofiev would have developed if he hadn't returned to Russia . . . . It's a wonder that any composers survived during the reign of the Red Tsar . . . .
This is one of those pieces that come up on the radio all my adult life and part of my occupied mind says, I really like this one. And then, finally, I check the "playlist" and voila! another Prokofiev. And so, also finally, it goes on the USB stick for my car. :D
As a little 4tear old I blew my dad’s mind when I said that this sounded like “Peter and the Wolf!” Which is another work of Prokofiev’s. I could hear the similarities even then. So grateful my father played lots of classical music in our home. 👍🏻👌🏻🫶🏻☺️
I notice that in this score, the "transposing instruments" such as the clarinets and horns are written in Concert Pitch in this score. Which I appreciate, as I have absolute pitch. To me, a C has to sound like a C, not some other note. I always write my own scores at Concert Pitch, doing the transposition when I write out the individual parts (if required). I still can't help thinking of The Flaxton Boys when I hear this piece.
Look up the spitting image version of Peter and the Wolf here on TH-cam. They do a very imaginative and impressive interpretation of this piece. They have a fantastical dining room in the middle of the woods where Beethoven Hayden Wagner Mozart and Schubert are all of there and we get to watch Peter interact with them…
Those small moments that remind you it isn't Haydn or Mozart...it's so good it's crazy. That particular point actually reminds me of Mahler, oddly. 6:26 is another great spot.
I don't know why, but when I hear masterful piece, I can't help but see visions of Marie Antoinette"s Lavish Lifestyle in all it's glorious pastel colors within and around the Halls of the Great Palace of Versailles!
Is always a joy to hear... from the incredibly gifted composer, of Mithraikosi; not actually Slavic, although some great composers and pianists were... Very, uncannily acquainted with the stately Classical period- perhaps he was the well-known writer, Papus, in a former life experience. With genius someone could compose a work like this...!
I can remember studying form through some of the Haydn piano sonatas via William Cole's book on the subject. Also like most lovers of the string quartet, I can't ignore the Op. 76 set and Op.77 two. Then there are the last 4 symphonies and the Creation, tc... Haydn is a top notch composer, but Prokofiev towers above him in musical genius. I think like many others Prokofiev saw Haydn as alternative to the four giants. Oddly I find Prokofiev to be more the equal of the giants he eschewed than of Haydn. Still, this is immense fun!
And to think he wrote it when he was at University ! It was a piece to show his teachers that he was rather good! Haydn and Mozart would have been shocked at the harmonies and time-signature changes but they would have been 'blown away' by this Symphony! I always am.
it's classical with a modren touch... what an absolute gem!
welcome to neoclassicism friend.
modren?
@@callumslefthand ignore the typo, you know that he meant modern.
@@pian1sticpeng_in could you recomend any other neoclassical pieces?
@@kofiLjunggren Symphony No.3 - Albert Roussel, Symphonic Metamorphosis -Paul Hindemith, Francis Poulenc - Sonata for Flute and Piano and Concerto for piano and wind instruments - Igor Stravinsky
The flutes, the clarinets...the oboes....the winds......just mind blowing!
*wind blowing
those two flutes in the 4th movement are what I always remembered when I heard this as a kid (my father listened to a lot of classical music)
Pun intended?
Without classical music, where would each of us be? I'm grateful to it forever. Forever.
Damn right! i do believe that two things make worth living in this buddisht evil bay of suffering are intelligent literature and classical music!
I escaped from Facebook to return for some intelligent comments and music.
i'm sure not much would change
this is neo-classicism
Lol come on guys, they're obviously talking generally. I'm sure they know what era of classical music this is.
Sparkles like sunlight on a clear lake!
wow that was cheesy

This video is wonderfully edited. The way you cut to a black screen at the end of each movement really adds to the effect.
?????????
however, at end of each of the movements i get f@@@in grammarly ad, which erases all purity of this wonderfull music.
@@yashkindaszkiewicz_music5841 To quote Twosetviolin, ads between movements, sacrilegious! Even more sacrilegious is in the middle of movements.

10:23 How didn't the flute choke to death?
Anna Contreras I would... totally hahaha
Anna Contreras the 2nd and 1st flutes alternate measures, or alternate each beat. I forget which
very tidy orchestration technique, scherzo to the 5th is stellar as well.
It's not hard to play for professional musicians because of alternation. The hard thing is to be precise in the alternating beginnings... Double tonguing following the same.. Sounds harder when you hear it than it actually is for two
How did the player not swallow the flute?
I really like how in this recording you can hear all the separate instruments and their melodies and how they work together. In the recordings I've heard before you could only hear one big harmonic lump
A beautiful symphony in picturesque, clean neoclassical style. Truly a treasure.
Our orchestra is going to play this. We are all very nervous. In fact, we are having some "voluntary" rehearsals just for the strings. I hope I can pull this off.
+Vicky Westerfield same ! Even the music for cello is hard.
Vicky Westerfield How was it?
It's also "fun" when you are spammed with 8th note runs at a bit faster than allegro tempo.
It’s four years after your comment on this performance of Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony in D Major. How did your orchestra do?
How did it go?
I revisit this often. I love this symphony.
Me too
ME TOO
MEEEE TOOOO!!!
The pianissimo timpani at the beginning of the 4th movement is such a nice touch, really adds to the bouncy, playful feeling.
One of the best things to listen in only 15 minutes...
Because I become obsessed with one composer or another, I forget how beautiful a piece like this one is and how much pleasure it has given me throughout the years. Prokofiev is among the gods.
I have been thinking lately that some music must indeed be inspired, as religious people claim that books like the Bible are "the Word of God." Some musical works are so magical, so profound and moving that they seem divine: This is what God is like.
You should checkout Anton Bruckner
This orchestra plays without a conductor -- which is astonishing! Somehow they have produced one of the sharpest, cleanest, and fastest recordings of this symphony, without a conductor. Most other orchestras audibly struggle with keeping cohesion even at slower tempi.
Wonderful. Prokofiev's music sparkles like no one else's.
Until Alma Deutscher.
Beautiful, thanks for the great upload. I play piano myself, and I love the way you've put all the sheets of music on screen so you can follow along, VERY interesting to watch an orchestra playing! Cheers!
My own attempts to play the piano a long time ago were not very successful but I find seeing the printed score in the video interesting anyway.
I tried that also, many years ago..the first movement.. I managed some chords and. I tried by ear but it was a challenge ! I did not get too far !!
I believe I read somewhere that Leonard Bernstein fell on the floor in his bedroom laughing the first time he heard the gavotte on the radio.
I really feel with him ^^
I have said elsewhere that parts of this sound like someone laughing loudly.
I sure miss Lenny. Such a presence!
haha!!!!!!!!!!P!!!WNEIS!!!!11
John Shaw I would have said the final movement, 'Molto Vivace', sounds like someone laughing. I also think this final movement sounds a lot like the music that Milt Franklyn, the Music Director of the *Looney Toons* cartoons, was playing with.
Another chirpy masterpiece by Prokofiev along with Peter and the Wolf. It's just adorable !!! :)
Adorable until you actually have to play it. ( cries in corner )
It's kinda strange how this piece is really short. Normally, a whole movement is this long. But, the piece itself is *Golden!*
This was the first symphony I ever tried listening to while reading the score.....ah, this takes me back! Haven’t managed to play this yet, but that last movement is a rolling fight for first violins - I know it’ll happen for me one day but the fear is real!
What a dramatic video editing! ahah I love it
At each black screen I can imagine the Netflix "tu tum"
can't believe i only just discovered this. so clearly built on a classical base but with such romantic orchestration and energy. gotta love it
W tym tygodniu ta piękna symfonia Prokofiewa, to mój zestaw śniadaniowy!
I really appreciate the brevity of this Symphony and I wish more were this short.
Prokofiev - WOO HOO! What an amazing SYMPHONY you composed here. I hope to hear your new Symphony soon.
Sadly, someone else might have to do it for him.
He just finished his Second symphony. It's a bit different from this one.
Сыграно филигранно просто!! Фантастика!! И записано тоже шикарно!!
Thanks for the score! And holy cow! Orpheus isn't kidding in the last movement with their MOLTO vivace! Vivacississississime!
Apparently Prokofiev wrote this to counter the critics who said that he wrote the way he did because he couldn't write in classical style. This is a perfect Classical style symphony, and a perfect parody of a Classical style symphony.

While strolling in the meadows of the present, you can pick bouquets of crazy and improbable flowers, come back with sumptuous extracts of this
sensitive musician and skinned and say that you sometimes gain time to ignore so much of these contemporary musics to finally gain in serenity ;-)
The beauty is in the simplicity of the themes. So clear and bright!
Definitely a part of it. I can't imagine ever getting tired of this.
crazy woodwinds, especially at the start of the fourth movement
The counterpoint is awesome.
This is the best recording that exists, and they did it without a conductor.
Thanks for this. Although familiar with listening to the music I hadn't seen the score before. The tempo of the last movement is very fast!
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE ADS BETWEEN MOVEMENTS OH MY GOD YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SHIT I'VE HAD TO EXPERIENCE WITH SOME VERY DELICATE DEBUSSY PIECES
I've loved this since the first time I heard it decades ago.
The 4th movement especially makes me think "Laughing Symphony" would be a good nickname.
The disagreeing oboe at 7:44 in the Larghetto has fascinated me for some time now, it was wonderful to follow it on the musical score.
Yes good point - that Oboe sticks out in such a curious way.
I've absolutely loved this piece ever since I first heard it in the late 60's when classical music was just beginning to be what is to this day still a major part of my life, when I was starting to learn the piano.
About the same time, there was a children's TV programme to which excerpts of this very stirring and beautiful symphony were the theme tune.

The gavotte was also in his Romeo and Juliet ballet in the masquerade scene

Prokofief master of the dance shown by how symphony skips and twirls in its supernal rhythms. He was born to compose ballet like Romeo and Juliet.
brilliant composer. what a work!
I notice that in this score, the "transposing instruments" such as the clarinets and horns are written in Concert Pitch in this score. Which I appreciate, as I have absolute pitch. To me, a C has to sound like a C, not some other note. I always write my own scores at Concert Pitch, doing the transposition when I write out the individual parts (if required).
I still can't help thinking of The Flaxton Boys when I hear this piece.
Beautiful ! Thank you very much :)
I find it absolutely astounding that this sweet little symphony was written by the same man who wrote The Fiery Angel.
Forget Fiery Angel, try the 2nd Symphony.
He was being a good boy so he could get his degree and graduate without trouble. :-)
loved the flute harmony at 6:46
One chord is no harmony
Look up the spitting image version of Peter and the Wolf here on TH-cam. They do a very imaginative and impressive interpretation of this piece.
They have a fantastical dining room in the middle of the woods where Beethoven Hayden Wagner Mozart and Schubert are all of there and we get to watch Peter interact with them…
Fabulous job on the fourth movement, flutes and oboes!
1:30 to 1:36 is such a great moment
Those small moments that remind you it isn't Haydn or Mozart...it's so good it's crazy. That particular point actually reminds me of Mahler, oddly. 6:26 is another great spot.

Love this start to finish.
Хорошая редакция видео! Жалко, что 4-го концерта прокофьев а в таком формате нет...
the larghetto really makes you break in joy tears
I just love the first movement's closing material!! And the rest of it, of course, but particularly that.
Bloody beautiful
Yorkshire TV used this as the theme tune for The Flaxton Boys-a series broadcast between 1969 & 1973. Probably got me into classical music!
Ha ha! Something was afoot at Flaxton hall!
So this score is for conductors not able to transpose? Great recording btw
The 4th mvt is very Christmas-like, I love it!
I can remember studying form through some of the Haydn piano sonatas via William Cole's book on the subject. Also like most lovers of the string quartet, I can't ignore the Op. 76 set and Op.77 two. Then there are the last 4 symphonies and the Creation, tc... Haydn is a top notch composer, but Prokofiev towers above him in musical genius.

+Jonathan Lohn Prokofiev is a composer of very great stature, I agree. It will be of interest to see how his reputation fares in the 21st century.
Which are the four Giants? I've always heard about the 3 ones: Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. Who's the fourth one?
No he doesn't. Haydn is responsible for maturing the symphony, inventing the String Quartet and hundreds of formal innovations and experiments
.
Wowwwww Real Perfect love childhood... With this Great Sounds All my life begin to be wonderfull. Hoy 70 and 80.. Dreams.... Dreams....

more like a LEAST favorite part! am i right?
am i right
am i right
am i i right

As for me the best performance of this Symphony on You Tube.
D MAJOR is a good key for this so the strings can ring out 4:02
Why there are so many violin concertos in D
弾けるような、素晴らしいこの曲を聞きながらも、突然の死がすぐ身近にあることを深く感じます。大杉漣さんのあまりの早い死を悼んでいます。素晴らしい俳優でした。さようなら。この曲が天国のあなたに届きますように。
the second part has a Mozart feeling in my mind
And to think he wrote it when he was at University ! It was a piece to show his teachers that he was rather good! Haydn and Mozart would have been shocked at the harmonies and time-signature changes but they would have been 'blown away' by this Symphony! I always am.
fine performance and great to finally see the score
Prokofiev is amazing doing this neoclassical style
Pirmā (Klasiskā) simfonija: I d. g.p. 0:05
III d. Gavote 8:33
I wonder if the music that is popular these days really affects people as much as classical music affects me.
The piano arrangement is fantastic too. Don't miss it.
Imagine knowing nothing about this but just listening coz it gives a good amt of serotonin
He enjoys C major at the middle part ending, like a child enjoying a favourite toy
An absolute gem!
14 great minutes of music of the 20th century.
Unbelivable how this God Sounds is in notes... always i listen to this, and to look this.. amaizing!!!
Thank you so much!
If I ever decide to start a You Tube channel this will definitely be on it.
5:34 Sounds like Beehovens 7th symphony 1st movment Vivace.
I LOVE MUSIC!
What orchestra is this? Conductor? Its a fine recording!
It's the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra :)
Ah, the orchestra without a conductor, as they advertise.
Is it me or does the audio changes sides from time to time? Beautiful symphony btw.
The composition is so incredible, of all classical works this one feels truly happy.
Matt Wong more like Matt Wrong! This is actually from the NEOclassical period!! xx
pure prokofiev. memorable molodie is the very reason this peice exists
