Minnesota Orchestra’s Post

On this day in 1893, Tchaikovsky's monumental 6th symphony was premiered, and 9 days later, he passed. Love, joy, sorrow, triumph, and tragedy, this piece encompasses as much of the human condition as any. His is a story of beauty and suffering, and certainly worthy of deep exploration through a Cadenza Conversation!

Of course numbers are beautiful!

200 years ago today, on 7 May 1824 in Vienna, Ludwig van Beethoven conducted the premiere of his 9th Symphony. It was therefore fitting today that we ended a two day workshop in #Tällberg by listening and watching a recording of a glorious performance at the Royal Albert Hall from the BBC Proms in 2012, with the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and Daniel Barenboim. The early 1820s were a time of great upheavals and shifts, just like the 2020s. Here are some questions for us to reflect on now: 🎼 Which of today’s artistic creations will or should be celebrated in May 2224? 🎒 Of all the ideas, ideals and solutions that we hold dear today, which should we absolutely carry with us into the future… 🗑️ …and which should we leave behind or throw away? 🌏 And of course, what will the world - and the planet - look like in 200 years?

🎉 Today marks the 200th anniversary of the premiere of the "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. This is the #EuropeanAnthem. The #CouncilofEurope adopted it in 1972 and the #EuropeanUnion in 1985. Since then, this melody has helped us to be inspired by the shared #EuropeanValues of #peace or #solidarity. In short, this is an anthem for the whole of #DemocraticEurope. 🎶 More #versions of this Anthem can be listened to at this link: https://lnkd.in/dNwC7SpM #Europe #Europa #EuropeanUnion #UnionEuropea #ConsejodeEuropa #OdeToJoy #HimnodelaAlegria #EuropeaConvencida

🎵 Dive into the Resilient Symphony of Shostakovich 🎵 Unveiling the astounding origins of Dmitri Shostakovich’s 7th Symphony, famously known as the “Leningrad”. Crafted amidst the turmoil of World War II, this masterpiece was born during the siege of Leningrad, symbolizing the indomitable human spirit. The symphony resonated across the city and beyond, echoing defiance and resilience. It swiftly gained recognition as a beacon of resistance against fascism and totalitarianism, both in the Soviet Union and the West. 🎶 Orchestra and Factory: A Harmonious Analogy 🎶 Ever noticed the striking resemblance between the rhythm coordination of an orchestra and a factory operating at a steady harmonic Markovian stage? In both scenarios, precision and coordination are key. In an orchestra, each musician plays their part flawlessly, creating a harmonious output. Similarly, in a factory, each component works in sync, leading to efficient production. The steady harmonic Markovian stage in a factory mirrors the state of equilibrium in an orchestra, where all elements function smoothly and predictably. #Shostakovich #Leningrad #Symphony #WorldWarII #Orchestra #Factory #Rhythm #Coordination #MarkovianStage

Neuroscientist, engineer, pianist, composer. Imagine what more innovation and creation could happen if K12 schools valued all the arts as much as they do math, science, and reading!! #artseducation #musiceducation #danceeducation #yourbrainonart #brainbodyconnection

#classic #classicalmusic #playlist #piano #collection #chopin #etude #ballad Chopin composed a total of 27 songs of etude. Chopin etude is a song called piano textbooks and is an essential course for piano students, majors, and pianists. In other words, it is in the most basic and important position in the piano major. The reasons why Chopin's etude is so important are as follows. First, it is a practice song of Chopin, a pianist who achieved a major innovation in piano technology in the Romantic era, so it contains important techniques in piano. Second, it is a musical performance that is both a practice song. The genre of etude, that is, a practice song, existed before Chopin as a practice stage for playing other songs. However, Chopin instilled the musical aspect as well as the value as a practice song through his genius of practice songs, which were merely mechanical practice. Thanks to this, Chopin's etude gained value as an independent song and became a song that could be presented to a concert. It is also under the influence of Chopin's etude that the etude of later composers, who can be said to have been composed for performance rather than practice, later appeared. In modern times, a kind of essential course that anyone who wants to major in piano must play with Beethoven's piano sonata. It is difficult enough and is selected as an entrance exam song every year because one of the discrimination is certain.
