MOZART'S SYMPHONY 40 & 41: TRUE GREATNESS IS UNSTOPPABLE Nearly three years after Mozart's passing, his wife Constanze Mozart unearthed the manuscripts for Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, known as "The Great G Minor," and Symphony No. 41, also called "Jupiter," tucked away in a corner drawer; no other copies—just these single, handwritten manuscripts. Symphony No. 40 has become so universally recognized that even more than two centuries later, virtually anyone you meet on the street could hum its tune, no problem. To this day, the world's leading orchestras include these masterpieces in their annual repertoire, without fail. Had these compositions remained hidden, the cultural landscape we know today might have been markedly different. This story conveys two vital insights: 1) Never judge based on mere appearances or hearsay. Life is replete with surprising discoveries. 2) True greatness is unstoppable; it invariably finds its way into the world, overcoming any barrier. CULTURE LEADS > TECH FOLLOWS Happy 4/20!

SYMPHONY NO. 1 My first full symphony, in four movements, composed from 2022-2024. The second movement is the only movement that is subtitled (as "Heubad"), and it is for divided strings. The rest of the symphony is for full orchestra, although percussion parts (aside from timpani) were deliberately not included in the work. The first movement is inspired by a number of things, with the central climax meant to represent the motion of the Zweihänder. The third movement is a scherzo, and the final movement provides closure on some of the thematic motions throughout. There was a work also known as a "Symphony" composed for wind ensemble; this has been changed to a sinfonietta, as it in its entirety was smaller in formal scope. I plan to eventually make a score video so that you are welcome to follow along with the music. https://lnkd.in/eCVCRFhw

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

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?

Here's our review of the #SalzburgWindPhilharmonic's latest #Beethoven recording: The Symphony of Fate "is performed less dramatically than what one has become accustomed to. Despite the obvious absence of strings, the orchestra’s sound is clear, yet the symphony is fully complete. This in itself requires significant musical mastery, which Conductor Hansjörg Angerer displays as his recording demonstrates absolute fidelity to the composer’s vision...The recording of the Pastoral Symphony is equally true to Beethoven’s vision." https://lnkd.in/dex3egVS
