- The Ontological Lied, a.k.a. Every Romantic Lied Ever (As performed by a past-their-prime baritone and their mediocre accompanist).
A late Valentine's Day present for all of you music fans who have greatly improved the start to my 2022!
This is dedicated to all the people who left comments about the quality of the singing in the Ontological Fugue. The singing isn't any better, but at least there's a piano to keep it in tune.

Quality content, I'll be expecting nothing less than even more mediocre singing from now on

Hey at least he's somewhat trying LOL
The Swedish version of the lyrics literally no one asked for (except perhaps Petterson-Berger from his grave):
Om lieder önskas, tänk främst: förhållning
motiv upprepas, pianosynkoper.
För ökad känsla, så modulera!
Minns kromatiken och ritenutot.
Säg är mitt hjärta
i tusen delar?
För krigets svärta,
jag kanske velar?
Isåfall skilldras
en strid i pianot.
Och mellandelen
är vi på väg mot.
I vinterstormens sus - nya klang-texterurer,
med grötig baryton och kromatik-figurer.
Ett djävulskt dim-ackord,
och neopolitanska klanger chockar.
Med sextondels-trioler, ska vämjande förmedlas,
men för att tonerna ska ljuda måst' de spelas.
Vår pianist har ont.
Nu stegrar spänningen.
Vi når vår höjdpunkt,
därefter vårt tema, i grundtonartsfattning
Just här hör motmelodin hemma.
Men snart, så når vi ett dilemma:
lieder låter alla likadant,
likt Doppelgänger.
En sista insats, bekant kan tyckas.
Men slutkandensen, den avbryts halvvägs.
Till huvudtemats slut: en sista förhållning.
Dramitiskt avslut.
Beautifully expressed, pure poetry.
You know, I'll bet the original German text of this is so much more poetic
Jedes romantische Lied von jeher
I would die of the perfection if someone bothered to translate this into German and if I every take voice lessons again I will sing this at the end of the year recital
@@edwardviolahands I'm half-tempted to do it for fun, but it'd take me a bit of work to make the German sound good in writing lol
@@edwardviolahands A first attempt:
Man braucht viel’ Vorhalt’ in diesen Liedern,
die selben Motive, ja wieder und wieder.
Für große Gefühle: moduliere!,
Chromatizismen, und Ritenuto.
Hat mich vielleicht mein Lieb’ verlassen?
Ruft mich der König zu Krieg und Waffen?
Es steht im Piano, bevor in Eile,
es weiterleitet zum Mittelteile.
Ein neues Bild, man hört den Wintersturm wild brüllen.
Chromatisch windet’s sich, und Baritöne bellen.
Im verminderten Akkord liegt Streit,
Der Neapolitaner ist sehr bedrohlich,
Man sieht an Sechzehnteltriolen den Sturm im Herz an -
Das heißt solang du einen findest der sie spiel’n kann.
In den Fingern steigt der Schmerz!
Bis wir zum Schluss nach einem Höhepunkt zurückfinden zum Hauptmotiv in der Tonart.
Eine Gegenmelodie in gängig,
doch leider gibt es ein Problem,
all diese Lieder klingen ähnlich -
Sie sind Doppelgänger.
Die letzte Phrase ist schon geläufig,
doch unterbrochen ist die Kadenz.
Das Kernmotiv wird dann erweitert in noch mehr Vorhalte.
Dramatisch ist der Schluss.
@@TheVoitel That's pretty awesome for a first attempt, I'd say :D
Ah, I just noticed a typo
*Eine Gegenmelodie IST gängig =)
Vivaldi (still embittered by Stravinsky): "Schubert didn't write 600 _Lieder_ ; he wrote the same _Lied_ 600 times!"
I bet Mozart wrote it down in his famous collection _The Well-Tempered Clavier_, no?
@@cindyzhan7867 I love this! Beethoven was also influenced by Schumann, no?
I'm looking for the lie and I cannot find it
@@iroxursoxwithjello lol
As a fervent lieder-lover, I find nothing wrong with this.

@@Classi-mt9hn Get help.
Same, although the only thing that bugs me with the ending is that he didn't repeat the first theme, I thought that might give more closure.
This video has saved me. In a week i'm having an exam about romantic music's contexts etc. This is all you need in a nutshell. Thanks for quality content. Teaching through memes will be probably my speciality xD
This will be on the playlist for my Intro to Music History class at least!
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that!
Please expand:
0:00 An die Musik
1:00 Erlkönig
1:20 Erstarrung from Winterreise (?)
2:08 Im wunderschönen Monat Mai and An die Musik
2:31 Doppelgänger
naisu!
Ha! That Erlköning lick made me laugh!
Edit: AND the Doppelgänger reference! Very well done 😆
Don't forget the Im wünderschöne Monat Mei reference at 2:06

@@S.Lijmerd you're right!!!
Can you please give a timestamp for the Erlkonig ref?

As a pianist I laughed out loud at the lyric “The triplet semi-quavers show the heart in mayhem, but that’s assuming you’ll find someone who will play them. The R.S.I. takes hold.”
Normally repetitive stress injuries are no joke, but not in this case!
Edit: I didn’t notice until I listened to it a couple more times that in the last two measures of that passage the pianist is actually cheating in the left hand by skipping the triplets and only playing the bass line! That’s totally something I would do!
Agreed! Bl**dy Erlkönig. Even Schubert Ave Maria winds me up!
What is RSI?
@@ericaeli3807 Repetitive Strain Injury
@@mdcollins1984 Are you familiar with Liszt transcriptions of this pieces for solo piano? They are amazing but super difficult. I have actually been able to Ave Maria, though Erlkonig eludes me as I simply cannot do anymore than intro without my technique beginning to fail and invite injury.
@@randomchannel-px6ho I have heard some of the Liszt transcriptions, but haven't attempted to play any. I think a lot of the problems are caused by heavier piano actions today than Schubert would have been used to on a 1820s fortepiano.
I love people who can bash something in such specific and pointed ways it actually shows how much they love that thing.
Absolutely brilliant! A very nice combo between Elgar and Brahms for the beginning there... I nearly did a similar composition called "I can't believe they leid to me", but this is far superior!
This was full of jokes and references. I'm sure I missed some, but still this is the sort of comedy I love.
This is getting shown to every one of my advanced classical singing students. Brilliant!
Hahaha this is amazing! Please do ‘every English art song ever’ next :p
I second this!
Yes, great idea!

OMG PLEASEEE
A complete lieder recital in one song - so economical, much less time consuming! A tour de force. Bravo.
I thought your work couldn’t get funnier than the Ontological Fugue. Luckily this piece tugs all my Schubert/Schumann strings.
I’m subscribing. Very well done.
The other feature of text setting here is not said but implied: word painting!
Also, "Andante con molto rubato" and the composer's name got me to laugh right at the start
I wanted to cry right after second 20, its so emotional and funny but really captivates the essence of that purest truthest sublime celestial art form ❤️
Me, an audience member hearing the Erlkonig lick: "I understood that reference!"
Ok but the voice was actually very well suited to the faster middle section, which is arguably harder to pull off for most people than the lyrical parts!
Real happy to find this guy before he blows up huge on TH-cam. I know before 2023 he’ll be in every musician’s algorithm.
Das ist so großartig, dass ich mir das dreimal hintereinander angehört habe :-). It ist so great that I listened to it three times :-) Bravo!! A really wonderful joke with a lot of knowledge.
I love the way the piano score winks multiple times. I even thought at some point the text "simile" was actually "smile" lol
I NEED THIS SCORE!!!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!
The references to Schubert’s Erlkonig, Der Doppelganger, and others are genius!
Absolutely loving these! Catching the references to well-known Lieder is particularly fun!
It’s the line “But now the cadence is interrupted” for me. So friekkin funny!!
I'm mining this rich seam of cleverness and enjoying it hugely. Peter Schickele's shade hovers over you!
Bravo! This is brilliant in so many ways, from idea to performance, with so many small details to unravel, from repeated listening.
I want the sheet music to perform this so much! It’s amazing!
All my music is at www.freddywickhammusic.uk
2:08 Schumann Was will die einsame träine Op.25 No.1
2:25 Schumann Widmung in the piano accompaniment
Isn't 2:08 Im wunderschönen Monat Mai?
@@Abrikosia Ah yes, sorry! Always got the two mixed up haha, thank you!
I love all the work and creativity that gets put into these easy to understand word painting demonstration.
Good work! I want to see more content like this!
The content every classical music nerd needs
If all your compositions are this much fun, I wanna join your lockdown choir!
I’m going to need this for my next recital 😂
Most humorous part of this 'Lied' is the return to the... TONIC!
This is executed so perfectly, I love it!
Brilliant! Love it!
it's so weird how nice this is, while being so funny as well!! Very nice piece!
A perfect Valentine's day lieder!
I love the way, you're mixing a good stereotypical music with jokes emphasizing these stereotypes!
I remember a little from music education, still enough to understand... I admire this.
Omfg I was at "Winterreise" concert today, and this is so damn relatable ahahahahhaha
was at one on the in London by Ben Appl and just saw this- was fantastic 😂
HAPPY VALENTINES 2023
😂 I felt this on a deep emotional level
coming back to this video to note that this gets stuck in my head pretty regularly
"all of Schubert's Lieder in 3 minutes and 18 seconds"
Ok, but you didn't need to call out my master's recital like this 😤 (this is so charming - thank you for this fun break in work)
This is brilliant!!!
As someone who has basically sung nothing but Lieder, this is accurate as hell lol
Wonderful!!
Love this!
Legit content. Please post more of this
What a wonderful lesson! 😁
it made my day, thank a lot
Oh my god. This is so funny and clever. Well done!
I love this so much ❤️
Super charming!
Another wonderful video!
1:00 nice Schubert quote
Loved it!
thank you for sharing
You should do every Bach Cantata ever :P
Loved it
Brilliant!!
Am I the only one that constantly hears Schumann's Widmung in the piano part? (especially 2:24)
th-cam.com/video/QZIR-eZdvGk/w-d-xo.html
I love how you waited nearly the whole lied for the Im Wunderschönen Monat Mai countermelody
SO clever and very funny. Thank you!
dis is amazing
You, sir, are brilliant.
This was so good, great job 😂
Fantastic! I sang a lot of Schubert lieder in college.
I just love your channel ! Not only your fugues are incredibly funny and well written, but this Schubert-like Lied is genuinely great (love the Doppelgänger reference), keep it up man, it’s really nice to have some great content out there, congratulations !
TL;DR : You made my day
If this was in 24 italian art songs and arias u better BET this was my final peice for my voice degree
love that the countermelody is actually just Im wunderschönen Monat Mai lmao 2:09
I liked the Erlkönig easter egg
The TH-cam algorithm knows me well to suggest this. Haha, you’ve made my day!
It’s the Wolfbert for me. I think he’s going to be a recurring character in the silly stories I tell my violin students to get them to emote😁🤣
INCREDIBLE
Brilliant
Unironically really pretty
Fab. Waiting for the Ligeti sting 🙌
Amazing.
You both sound fine! Don’t beat yourselves up!
Love it😍
they're doppelgangers was the best kkk
This is genius!!
Dichterliebe? LOL, I recognized it by last part
There was something about warm May's days
This is as hilarious as your ontological fugue, thanks you!
2:17 the strong urge to sing im wunderschönen monat mai I can't even LMAO
From the first phrase or two I was already thinking im wundershonen monat mai lol.
This is genius
Oh. And the music to my audition song!
Every romantic lied, so, thank you for finally revealing the truth!
Bravo to the pianist!
Yes please keep making masterpieces, I love them so much. Congratulations
This past-my-prime baritone would have a hard time with those G's!
I love this! Please tell me you'll put the sheet music out someday, I'd absolutely love a copy!!! It would be so fun to sing this someday!
Oh yes!! Take me to your Lieder!!!
When someone says there can’t be songs without words:
Lyrics:
They use suspensions a lot in Lieder
Repeated motifs, with offbeat piano
To build emotions: use modulations
Chromatic tension and ritenuto
Perhaps I'm finding my love rejected
Or I've been called up for martial duties
If so the piano depicts the action!
Before preparing, The middle section
A change of texture shows a winter storm is howling
Chromatic passagework and baritonal growling
Di minished chords bring strife
The Neapolitan is quite a larming
The triplet semiquavers show the heart in mayhem
But that's assuming you'll find someone who will play them
The RSI takes hold
At least we build into the climax
Preparing the main theme back in the tonic
A counter melody is common
But soon we come across a problem
All these Lieder sound the same
They are doppelgangers
The final statement may seem familiar
But now the cadence is interrupted
The central motif gets expanded into yet more suspensions
Dramatic ending
brb Cackling at Der Lindenbaum in the central section 🤣
