Karajan - Rehearsal of Schumann's 4th Symphony - Part 4

[johnhrobiii]

I wonder if he knew or spoke any English...

priceless look from the orchestra at 8:28

[greid36]

I have always enjoyed the great romantic symphonies.\What a pleasure to see and experience the master behind the scene. Almost jealous that this type of standard is so rare today.

[BillyReuben28]

actually none of it is in e flat minor. The first movement's in d minor, the second is in a minor, the third is in g minor, and the finale is in d major.

[munkybrain]

well when Karajan refers to a C, he's actually refering to what sounds like a C# in this video, so i guess it's all a half step up like alot of old footage on yotube

[coesterr]

He refers to the letter "E" in the scores which serves as an orientation for the conductor and the orchestra. It's not translated properly.

Un mostro.

lol did he look at his watch at 6:10 / 6:11 ?

[heyj79]

If he checked his watch it's because he would need to know where he is in the rehearsal time, to be sure he can get to each section he wants to. He could probably give his ideas all day, but there's only so much time available.

[zeonic6trial]

i like the explanation from the documentary better - he wants to get to his jet

[mathpianist93]

It sounds like the scherzo is in E-flat minor.

[MahlerTitan]

it's not the scherzo, it's the finale!

[Conticello07]

Cosa si puo' dire?Fantastico uno dei piu' grandi musicisti della storia.E' tutto compiuto nella sua mente con una lucidità incredibile.
