Tannhäuser Overture is one of my all time favourite classical pieces. So epic!
Same
Bloody hard First Violin part...
13 out of 15. (working at an Opera House gives an adtavantage)
Although "Pique Dame" is not an Overture. It's a Prelude.
"What's the difference?", I hear people ask:
An overture has a specific form. It's either in the italian "Sinfonia" style, like the overtures to baroque operas. Fast, slow, fast. (Many of Mozart's of operas have this kind of overture). Or it is in the form of a sonata movement, like Rossini's or Beethoven's overtures.
Or they are in the form of a potpouri, with the most important themes from the work they are introducing. (Like the Offenbach overtures).
A Prelude is much shorter and has no predefined form.
There are exceptions though.
Wagner's Meistersinger Prelude is a mix of potpouri and sonata form and could as well have been called Overture by the composer.
Examples of opera's with preludes instead of overtures:
La Traviata, Aida (even though Verdi wrote an alternative overture), Carmen, Tristan und Isolde, Eugen Onegin
And just for comparism a few of Verdi's operas that actually have overtures instead of preludes:
Nabucco, La Forza del Destino, Les Vepres sicilliene, Luisa Miller.
Thank you. I tried to be careful and I was tempted to take preludes (or introductions) in other letters, but I really needed something with the letter Q)) And I couldn’t think of anything better than taking Tchaikovsky with slight deviations from the name of the quiz.
The 15th... The most beautiful Overture of all! ♥️♥️♥️
Being in a youth orchestra is basically considered receiving a masters in overture recognition
Certainly. Many people write here that they played this or that melody in the orchestra as children.
@@adiosmusictest Indeed so. 55 years ago...
Where's the "15/15 as usual " guy?
Perhaps he got one wrong and has now disappeared to Outer Mongolia in shame
15/15, as usual. Sorry, I was late.
I love tannhauser overture so much
I definitely knew 2 and 3 because an opera company I sing chorus (as well as Dr Blind) for have done those productions fairly recently.
There are so many listeners here on the channel who directly participate in the creation of such amazing classical music almost every day that I feel somehow embarrassed about my level of musical training in quizzes))
@@adiosmusictestYou provide much entertainment so you do not need to be so modest sir.
Blessings and peace
I would have appreciated Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber. Great overture.
Thanks for the recommendations. I will make a third part, I will take different options from the comments.
Great quizz, with a variety of easy and hard pieces. Thanks for your work! I got 8 before the first letter was given, 3 after, and failed on 4. A couple letters were potentially misleading for non-English speaking people (as a Frenchman, I couldn't make the connection between the Pique dame music and the letter Q). Herold and Miaskovsky completely eluded me, and I took Sullivan for Elgar (but still knew there was pudding around).
Thank you. I really needed the letter Q, so I had to use some tricks, because some letters are just a disaster))
11 out of 15. Suggestions for the next overture challenge: The Gadfly or the Overture on Russian and Kirghiz folk themes, both by Shostakovich. Or overtures by Gretry. Hänsel und Gretel overture by Humperdinck. Cuban overture by Gershwin, Tivoli Festival overture by Hyldgaard, the bronze horse by Auber, Stein der Weisen by Mozart et al.
Sometimes I am confused because titles are in different languages. La Forza del Destino is in Italian but Poet and Paysant (actually Dichter und Bauer) is in English.
Thank you for such a detailed review and recommendations. As I understand from the list of overtures you suggested, you have not yet completed part I. I always have problems with translation, no matter how simple everything would be if I only had to write in Russian))
Yes, the languages made it difficult for me, too, as I know mainly the German titles. Also some were totally new for me.
Great Job Dmitri as always.I have a question could you please do „guess the piano piece“ series.I am a pianist myself and I would like that.
Thanks for your feedback. For piano, I have so far only made the “Guess the Piano Cover” series in three parts. In classical music I plan to do something on piano concertos
@@adiosmusictest please do also Solo pieces .Pianists would like that it trains memory very good
This is difficult, only the first 'letter', but we have to guess if you use the original language title or English title (Smetana probably called it Prodana Nevesta). Also, in proper alphabetical ordening, the use of articles is incorrect, but you did spell those out so I'll forgive you...🙂
4 wrong. (Better luck next time ?)
Well, I'm clearly NOT an expert! I only got 4 right, although I recognised three others that I couldn't put a name to, at least not in 15 seconds . . .
I also like to solve various quizzes on TH-cam - from time to time I still pause the video to remember this or that piece
Ахах. Так смешно получилось. Когда увидела в списке букву Т, думала, что там будет Тристан. И вот когда остается последняя, слышу этот ми мажорный аккорд и так весело с того, что это Тангейзер)
Мне нравится эта увертюра и я её уже ставил в одну из частей серии "Guess the Composer" в самое начало, но не отказал себе в удовольствии ещё раз её использовать в видео, хотя выбор на букву Т был достаточно большой.
Die Titel sind auf englisch, da bin ich raus.
