@imagineer100utube dude thats so weird, im a freshman and im on cello too, except im not in a major orchestra, wish i was though, were playing this song in orchersta class and i love it :)
@imagineer100utube i play bass with my local youth orchestra i could play with my community orchestra but i dont im playing this as a sophmore but i played something way harder called the organ symphony last year.
Jesus it was some coughing...Maybe next we should locate and stone the culprit for his/her disgrace to the youtube musical critics! get a life...people cough and it wasnt so bad..
@JazzKeyboardist1 Yes, I know that my opinions are worthless, just as I am. But sometimes I am emboldened by the genius that I witness. such as Herr Schubert.
@beckistiles Many will argue that there already have been. To belittle the works of Wagner and Shoenberg would mean to belittle 20th century music as a whole. It's all about perspective.
While I agree that many romantic composers did what they did very well, it was a different style for a different time.
@blackhawk5o5 Wagner was still 19th century, I have no judgement on any specific composer/band but i think its fair to say that their is little in post WW2 music that compares to this, and this is not as much because of style as much as substance, as in even the ok stuff isnt really about telling a musical story as much as being directionless improv, or being over sentimental, or just a musical experiment(see "its gonna rain"). this is true of most modern art in all its forms.
It has been said that 20th century composers for all their intellegence and musicality have forgoten that it is music, often even after we have adjusted to their new soundscape. It is also true however that they have reached new levels of expression, if people would only try to embrace it more, i would say that orchestral music has become more acessible to an unmusically trained audience than it was before. (see next post)
Modern compositions can be the most wonderfully expressive thing. Stravinsky is often the easiest as he uses many older ideas with his new ideas. Have you tried listening to more modern pieces? It is hard to find the ones worth listening to because as is true of any era there is alot of crud to waid through! (see next post)
@vanishingofemptiness If you feel you would like to try to broaden you musical taste then i am more than happy to suggest some places to start? I would hate to see someone dismiss some mind blowing music due to lack of patience.
@444Hatter444 I dont mind Stratvinsky, or Holst and Orff but Ive tried to have patience with alot of jazz and more modern composers (I mean along the lines of Glass, Reich)and i find alot of it directionless, or over sentimental, and would rather spend time exploring older musics. However I dont have a classical background myself so im not as educated as some. If you can give me three post WWII pieces that you recommend I would gratefully listen to them and tell you what I think.
hey, I myself cant stand Jazz, and would be inclined to agree (oh how imperfect we are as humans with opinions on music!). I would listen to stravinsky's rite of spring. Shostacovitch 11th symphony (older). I'll see what i can narrow down and get back to you. Defonatly listen to those though! :) x
@12345678nicdeane From your comment, I sense that you used humor in the first part. Is that a fair statement? Or do you honestly not know why it's called unfinished?
I am an older person and I thank God for You Tube every time I am introduced to new classical pieces, or beautiful voices, that I would not have heard otherwise. I read the name of this piece in a novel, and wanted to hear it. thanks to You Tube and the wonderful people who upload this music for the rest of us, I was able.
I disagree with you in your despair about this generation as stuck with beiber, x factor, etc. YouTube is an amazing tool to awaken the musically ignorant youth of today. Videos such as these are ON THE SAME YOUTUBE MEDIUM as the Lady Gaga-makes-me-gag ones. It is now possible for the uninitiated in classical music to have access to sound which has endured. In the past they would have had to pay for the CD, now they can click on this link and presto! really good music begins. Rejoice!
hmmmm, i need to know in which year this was composed in. omg, i'm such a fail, i don't really, even know what composing means. i desperately need help with this musical assignment my music teacher purposely assigned my class and i. -_-"
the sheer numbers of spare seats really is a shame. a mate once told me classical music will, sadly, die its death in future generations; who are stuck on beiber, x factor,and the majority of, thanfully not all, music being produced today. I hope he is wrong, but i fear he's not. i lament people of my generation ( im 19) who know nothing of Schubert, Brahms or the numerous others that created timeless and beautiful classical music. give mozart another half century and who knows where he'll be?:(
@sdhrwzsass Fortunately you're not right as you fear. There is a huge culture of performers, young performers from all over the world who study and perfect this music in ways not previously possible. Not to mention the numerous museums, artifacts, and movie scores that utilize this music and it's style. While it is true most young people do not just sit on down and listen to schubert on their days off, they do understand who these people are on a basic level, and respect it. In the future they
@sdhrwzsass Won't listen to this in their spare time, but the same reverance will be there, and the educational opportunities will be more abundant, as youtube, wikipedia, and online resources and museums improve with the times. Chin up, the future is not so grim...just different and unknown! :)
America went through many generations of music. It has some folklore, then it had blues, then jazz, then rock, then metal, then hip hop and rap which together has maybe about 300+ years. Yet how did Classical survive if America mostly favored jazz and blues in the 19th century and rock and metal in the 20th century (from my knowledge so idk about other countries)? So I'm pretty sure Classical will survive no matter what.
How many common people do you think listened to music of this quality when it was being written? I can assure you, roughly the same proportions of people are listening to popular/"classical" music as have ever done so. We still have the orchestral music of two hundred years ago, but we are missing huge amounts of the popular (folk) music of two hundred years ago, because it was just that - popular music, not Art. Bieber will be forgotten in a century; Brahms will still be there.
@sdhrwzsass i'm 14, and i just fell in love with this peice after playing it at a fine arts camp. 116 (my symphony group had so many) Kids from ages 11-18 played Schubert, and every saturday is Brahmsday! :D
@deltajuliet I'm going to cop to going too far cause I was feeling grumpy this morning, so I'm sorry. But I don't think someone should leave a concert because they're coughing a bit. There are levels sure, but as long as they're clearly not too sick to be out of the house anyway, other concert goers should be able to put up with a bit of noise. (the music is surely good enough) Back in the day there wasn't this culture of silence & finery, basic decorum doesn't have to become absolute reverence.
@deltajuliet Wait??? You do not realize why it's considered selfish and pompous to demand that someone leaves because of a little coughing. Ah, the ignorance on here is astonishing. Pretentious little prick you are.
@deltajuliet I'm not name-calling in the connotative sense. I am name-calling in the denotative sense. Perhaps, prick was a bit inappropriate (because idiots misconstrue that word for name-calling), but you are pretentious and pompous. So I apologize, I'll correct myself. "How pretentious you are."
@deltajuliet And the whole purpose of "name-calling" is to bring to a person's attention what they truly are. If you are proud to be pretentious and pompous, then so be it. But most people do NOT want to be those things, and unless you tell them that they are, they can't fix it. That's sad if you intentionally chose to be pretentious and pompous, but hopefully, it was unintentional and something you strive to fix.
@benesvive The original comment was "If you're going to cough, leave," which receives 47 thumbs up. The original poster had the audacity to say that justifies their behavior. That's wrong.
I do not see how I was being pretentious. Please explain. However, let's assume, my comments are pretentious. Then, "pretentiousness" was unintentional, and ultimately, was due to someone else's vice. Thus, you have accomplished nothing by commenting to me.
@tangram108 I've made you reflect on what you've written. That was the intention, so I have accomplished something.
You're personally insulting another user because they've made a fairly general comment. I read the comment and felt the user was trying to express how important it is to try and preserve the perfection of the performance, obviously others did too and gave it the thumbs up.
Your tone is condescending and your comments offensive.
@benesvive This is my whole point, you and those other users are pretentious, pompous, and selfish. I am not the only person who has come to that same conclusion. "Trying to preserve the perfection of the performance" ?! Are you just trying to troll me? Honestly, what do we live in Nazi Germany? NO COUGHING NEIN NEIN NEIN THE PERFORMANCE MUST BE PERFECT! Unless if it was otherwise stated BEFORE the person bought the ticket, it is unacceptable to bash someone for coughing. Period.
@tangram108 Again you're blowing this out of proportion. You seem to be a very angry person, maybe you should talk to somebody. I dread to think how you'd react to real problem.
@benesvive Instead of admitting your fault, you turn this around to make it look like I'm at fault. A psychologist would diagnose you as a narcissist.
I indeed get very angry when I have to put up with ideology tantamount to Nazism. Why don't you address the substance of my argument instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks. The reason why you don't address the substance of my argument is because I am right, and you are wrong, therefore, ad hominem attack is your only recourse...narcissist.
@benesvive You haven't backed up your original assertions. How am I pretentious?
And tell me, since when is it wrong for someone to cough? They weren't doing it on purpose, and it wasn't anything out of control. Why would you demand that they leave? Don't say for the perfection of the performance because that is pretentious...unless you're willing to concede you are pretentious. So give me a better reason.
@tangram108 ...i will answer it for you. it is inconsiderate and a pain in the ass when someone that has or is having a health issue disturbs someone or people in whom which are performing. this guy was coughing and even sneezing more than four times...i mean if u didnt hear it then put head phone and jog up the volume and u will clearly hear it.....answer ur question
@benjianubis And if you can focus on the coughing over the music, then you are merely an imposer when you claim to love classical music. Time to grow up.
@tangram108 listen here stupid......obviously you have a hearing problem and or you need to clean that wax out of your dirty ears bc if you didnt hear all of that coughing and sneezing that the guy did...then you obviously should seek medical attention......and i still agree with the other guy, you're the one that needs to grow up.....retard
@benjianubis I heard it, but I wasn't paying attention to it. You see, I actually enjoy classical music, and nothing will keep me from listening to it. A mere cough, bah, not enough to keep me from the song. But if you have such a problem with the coughing, then why don't you go listen to another performance of this video on youtube?
@benesvive ...me personally regarding the coughing i think its ok up to a certain extent..i can see one or two coughs but when it gets to be a nuisance as in this performance i can agree with you...they should just get out and leave..it is very disturbing and it is very unfair to the people who have to be subjected to this type of crap. I....as a classical pianist had to endure such ignorance even regarding usage of cell phones. its just pathetic.. if they are sick then they should stay home.
@ThePOLiNee hey , cant agree with you , i think schubert himself considered this work to be completed, as well s i do . it is well composed and has everything we know of schuberts works . that it only has two 2 mvmts. doesnt mean that its unfinished .
@waagur There is a surviving sketch for a third movement, a scherzo, so you are almost definitely wrong. He became quite ill after completling the first two movements and may have correctly feared he had contracted syphilis and was suffering the initial stages of the fatal disease (although he struggled on with the illness for five or six years).
I think we can all agree that we will never truly know why Franz Schubert never finished his 8th Symphony in B Minor.
I think we can also agree that the two movements that do exist more than make up for the two that do not, particularly those of us who have performed the piece.
it it tragic that this great man had a tough time getting his music published or played during his lifetime, and he had to live on crumbs. When he submitted his last 3 piano sonatas to his publisher, the guy said he wasn't interested in them. If he had only lived 20 more years he would have seen his fame take off. Beethoven 56, Mozart 35, Schubert 31, Chopin 39, Mahler 50. The only one that grew old was Liszt.
if the final movement was written and then lost, wouldn't people back then have known that and been able to say so later? Schubert was way ahead of his time with this music. This could have been written in 1880. He and his friend Ludwig ushered in the romantic period. A clean break from Haydn and Mozart.
@DeathAngel1029 Cuz he was a dumbass. Nah jk, it was thought that he didn't finish it because he died, but it was actually because he lost interest in finishing it.
EVERYONE ATTENTION: Schubert didn't finish this because he died. He CHOSE not to finish it.
Playbill from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra says that Schubert began to realize how much his symphony started to become excessively dependent on the model of Beethoven's symphonies, especially the No.2, which Schubert greatly admired. Some argue that he didn't finish it in order to work on several other pieces, including his piano masterpiece, the "Wanderer" Fantasy.
@ikertznus I am violist in 8th grade and have been in a very high level youth orchestra for two years. This piece is so easy I barely practiced it and still only screwed up a couple times in performance. Nothing compared to Sinfonische Metamorphosen. That is a fantastic piece of music, although incredibly difficult. Scherezade is also amazing, and challenging as well.
If you ever see "The Black Cat" which is a 1935 movie with both Boris Karloff and
Bela Lugosi in it, you will hear part of this movement in it.
Oh yes, the Smurfs. Well if you ever see some of the cartoons which came out before during and right after WWII you'll hear good classical music on them.
Great piece of music! But a rather klutzy performance. You all must find the performance by the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Karl Böhm. That is the best performance I have heard. You can download the mp3 from Deutche Grammophon.

But most people do NOT want to be those things, and unless you tell them that they are, they can't fix it. That's sad if you intentionally chose to be pretentious and pompous, but hopefully, it was unintentional and something you strive to fix.

@tangram108 You've blown this out of proportion in an effort to come across really clever, witty and insulting. I think it's had the reverse effect.
If anything's pretentious, it's your comments.

@benesvive The original comment was "If you're going to cough, leave," which receives 47 thumbs up. The original poster had the audacity to say that justifies their behavior. That's wrong.
I do not see how I was being pretentious. Please explain. However, let's assume, my comments are pretentious. Then, "pretentiousness" was unintentional, and ultimately, was due to someone else's vice. Thus, you have accomplished nothing by commenting to me.
tangram108 5 months ago
@tangram108 I've made you reflect on what you've written. That was the intention, so I have accomplished something.
You're personally insulting another user because they've made a fairly general comment. I read the comment and felt the user was trying to express how important it is to try and preserve the perfection of the performance, obviously others did too and gave it the thumbs up.
Your tone is condescending and your comments offensive.

@benesvive This is my whole point, you and those other users are pretentious, pompous, and selfish. I am not the only person who has come to that same conclusion. "Trying to preserve the perfection of the performance" ?! Are you just trying to troll me? Honestly, what do we live in Nazi Germany? NO COUGHING NEIN NEIN NEIN THE PERFORMANCE MUST BE PERFECT! Unless if it was otherwise stated BEFORE the person bought the ticket, it is unacceptable to bash someone for coughing. Period.

@tangram108 Again you're blowing this out of proportion. You seem to be a very angry person, maybe you should talk to somebody. I dread to think how you'd react to real problem.
benesvive 5 months ago
@benesvive Instead of admitting your fault, you turn this around to make it look like I'm at fault. A psychologist would diagnose you as a narcissist.
I indeed get very angry when I have to put up with ideology tantamount to Nazism. Why don't you address the substance of my argument instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks. The reason why you don't address the substance of my argument is because I am right, and you are wrong, therefore, ad hominem attack is your only recourse...narcissist.

@benesvive You haven't backed up your original assertions. How am I pretentious?
And tell me, since when is it wrong for someone to cough? They weren't doing it on purpose, and it wasn't anything out of control. Why would you demand that they leave? Don't say for the perfection of the performance because that is pretentious...unless you're willing to concede you are pretentious. So give me a better reason.

tangram108 5 months ago
@tangram108 ...i will answer it for you. it is inconsiderate and a pain in the ass when someone that has or is having a health issue disturbs someone or people in whom which are performing. this guy was coughing and even sneezing more than four times...i mean if u didnt hear it then put head phone and jog up the volume and u will clearly hear it.....answer ur question

@benjianubis And if you can focus on the coughing over the music, then you are merely an imposer when you claim to love classical music. Time to grow up.

@tangram108 listen here stupid......obviously you have a hearing problem and or you need to clean that wax out of your dirty ears bc if you didnt hear all of that coughing and sneezing that the guy did...then you obviously should seek medical attention......and i still agree with the other guy, you're the one that needs to grow up.....retard
benjianubis 4 months ago
@benjianubis I heard it, but I wasn't paying attention to it. You see, I actually enjoy classical music, and nothing will keep me from listening to it. A mere cough, bah, not enough to keep me from the song. But if you have such a problem with the coughing, then why don't you go listen to another performance of this video on youtube?

@benesvive ...me personally regarding the coughing i think its ok up to a certain extent..i can see one or two coughs but when it gets to be a nuisance as in this performance i can agree with you...they should just get out and leave..it is very disturbing and it is very unfair to the people who have to be subjected to this type of crap. I....as a classical pianist had to endure such ignorance even regarding usage of cell phones. its just pathetic.. if they are sick then they should stay home.

@ThePOLiNee hey , cant agree with you , i think schubert himself considered this work to be completed, as well s i do . it is well composed and has everything we know of schuberts works . that it only has two 2 mvmts. doesnt mean that its unfinished .
waagur 1 year ago
@waagur There is a surviving sketch for a third movement, a scherzo, so you are almost definitely wrong. He became quite ill after completling the first two movements and may have correctly feared he had contracted syphilis and was suffering the initial stages of the fatal disease (although he struggled on with the illness for five or six years).

I think we can all agree that we will never truly know why Franz Schubert never finished his 8th Symphony in B Minor.
I think we can also agree that the two movements that do exist more than make up for the two that do not, particularly those of us who have performed the piece.

it it tragic that this great man had a tough time getting his music published or played during his lifetime, and he had to live on crumbs. When he submitted his last 3 piano sonatas to his publisher, the guy said he wasn't interested in them. If he had only lived 20 more years he would have seen his fame take off. Beethoven 56, Mozart 35, Schubert 31, Chopin 39, Mahler 50. The only one that grew old was Liszt.

if the final movement was written and then lost, wouldn't people back then have known that and been able to say so later? Schubert was way ahead of his time with this music. This could have been written in 1880. He and his friend Ludwig ushered in the romantic period. A clean break from Haydn and Mozart.

EVERYONE ATTENTION: Schubert didn't finish this because he died. He CHOSE not to finish it.
Playbill from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra says that Schubert began to realize how much his symphony started to become excessively dependent on the model of Beethoven's symphonies, especially the No.2, which Schubert greatly admired. Some argue that he didn't finish it in order to work on several other pieces, including his piano masterpiece, the "Wanderer" Fantasy.

@ikertznus I am violist in 8th grade and have been in a very high level youth orchestra for two years. This piece is so easy I barely practiced it and still only screwed up a couple times in performance. Nothing compared to Sinfonische Metamorphosen. That is a fantastic piece of music, although incredibly difficult. Scherezade is also amazing, and challenging as well.

If you ever see "The Black Cat" which is a 1935 movie with both Boris Karloff and
Bela Lugosi in it, you will hear part of this movement in it.
Oh yes, the Smurfs. Well if you ever see some of the cartoons which came out before during and right after WWII you'll hear good classical music on them.

Great piece of music! But a rather klutzy performance. You all must find the performance by the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Karl Böhm. That is the best performance I have heard. You can download the mp3 from Deutche Grammophon.
