[melodicstanzas97]

[blazeboy381]

brings back memories of playing this piece in my high school quartet :)

Deutschland,Deutschland über alles

[nuggie9511]

I always find the chords so beautiful but I never get why theres so much vibrato and such. If they just played it straight and airy, it would be just as beautiful if not more.

[lleifior2]

One of the world's best anthems. :-)

[merkenstein]

Sogar, damit sie eine Hymne haben, müssen sie das alte Kaiserquartett von Österreich spielen. Der Haydn-Pepi wird sich im Grab umdrehen.

Andererseits, das Land der Sidos, Bohlendidis und Bushidos kann nicht anders.

Umsonst sind Beethoven und Brahms nicht nach Österreich abgewandert, um Karriere zu machen

[codemeth]

@merkenstein Das zählt nicht. Sido etc hat nichts mit Musik zu tun. Außerdem verstehe ich nicht, was das Problem ist.

[merkenstein]

@codemeth Weiß ich heute auch nicht mehr, wird mir aber irgendwie wichtig gewesen sein - oder auch nicht. Frohes Fest!

[codemeth]

@merkenstein Wünsch ich ebenfalls.

The one person who disliked this must be from Switzerland.

It's so pretty and simple-sounding. Perfect classical period.

[C3P0meetsData]

OMG! It's the German National Anthem!!!...Sorry for my ignorance...I just now realized that. (I'm so blonde)

[jcpressac]

@C3P0meetsData It is also a church song: /watch?v=xp2uis2ZKEM

[jcpressac]

@jcpressac "Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken" by John Newton, composed a few years earlier than Haydn.

[jgarcia712893]

i like the many variation this song has for each interment. my favorite is the duo for the violins

[icydong]

String quartet: 2 violin, 1 viola, 1 cello

Classical period

[fenrirbr]

what's the problem about atheism?

[gjc82071]

Am I wrong or is/was the beginning part of the German National Anthem?

[eltfell]

You are not wrong. The German Anthem is - so-to-say - kind of a spin-off from this.

[chockn]

@eltfell not quiet a spinoff. the german anthem is the second movement in the emperor quartet by haydn. basicly what you are hearing right now. the lyrics were written by fallersleben were added in later and it was made the national anthem in 1922.

[eltfell]

@chockn Well, to precise, the 2nd movement of this quartet is a spin-off from another anthem written for the Austrian emperor (thus the name of this quartet): "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser". Then, he composed the Emperor Quartet (in the same year 1797, I think) and in 1841, Fallersleben wrote the lyrics for the Song of the Germans, when he was on Helgoland (british at that time).

So, the German anthem is a spin-off from a spin-off. Quite a convoluted history, indeed.

[cardwell222]

@eltfell Yes, quite right... ratbag Germans, stealing the Austrian anthem...

[eltfell]

@cardwell222 We got it second hand from the Austrians.

[JasmineJean89]

This is a beautiful piece of music, stunningly composed. A great pleasure to listen to I think

[puneio]

Erste Sahne!!

[C2209w]

Entshuldigung: "als ich zum ersten Mal dich BESUCHTE"

Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut.

[C2209w]

Wunderbar Deutschland, ich verliebte dich als ich zum ersten Mal dich versuchte, vor14 Jahre.

Es lebe Bayern!!!

Ein Bayerisch-Spanisch.

[ssvvvincent]

Great song！

[fenrirbr]

Bravo! What a piece of good music. I love to hear this while I'm reading. Specially about atheism.
