@bryceh12321 So you think that factory-made pop music represents an entire generation? I disagree with that. I just feel that those people get more media attention than other genres. However, even that music has followers who's opinions on what is good music are just as valid as your opinion that Beethoven is the best. I prefer music with lyrics, but that doesn't mean I think this is bad music. I just have a different preference. Also, not all classical music from those days was good.
Music = Happiness. Just remember that. To everyone arguing on here, the only reason people listen to who they listen to is because it brings them joy. For those of you who understand the real, soulful, revolutionary music that has graced this world, there is no need to force your knowledge unto someone who doesn't posses the mind to grasp such music. Be happy that you are able to. Let them listen to whatever makes them happy. That way, we can all be happy and no arguing will take place!!
@MrPapergunner no it began with only singing. there were only 2 sometimes more men singing and singing the same thing as each other but then a few notes higher or lower. that's where music began.
@jambonfrais4 he still wrote music he just had a piece of wood attached to his piano he bit when he played so he could tell what his music sounded like through the vibrations
@turnertaker Moonlight Sonata, Canon, all the 9th Symphony, Sonata Pathetique, Rondo Alla Turca, the Nocturne of Chopin, Mozart Sonata 40 and 16, Ave Maria... There are so many.
the way I see it Beethoven might have very well been the most selfless person that has ever lived. I mean sure he wasn´t deaf at first, but he was by the time he started composing the 9th, he could have just easily resided and never made music again, instead he gave the world what may be one of the greatest music pieces the world has ever heard, yet he was never able to hear (only in his mind). I just cannot put into words my grattitude for beethoven´s 9th. I just feel we are lucky to have it
@slayermate07 Modern music is different, but not worse. It's for different audiences. Just because something is old does not make it better. I think every decade had amazing music and not-so-great music. That does not mean the whole generation has gone to hell. We just have a different culture today than we did back then and so we create different types of music to represent this generation. It's like when people see a good classic film and say modern film sucks. It's not bad, just different
@PDavidProductions sure... but how often do you hear modern music and think "people will still listen to this 200 years from now." That is why beethoven and mozart are so phenomenal. I think perhaps Wagner and Bach are being forgotten more and more but Beethoven and Mozart will be revered for another 200 years.
While it may be true that each generation creates an entirely new sound, it cannot be denied by you, or anyone else, that the music of today contains no where near the complexity melodic/harmonic progressions and musicality that the music of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras Music today is much simpler, thus the reason we call Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart the great composers-because no man has matched their musical genius. I have hope for us but thus far nothing of today compares to this
@ficarraguitarra1 not as complex? Today's music not only has to incorporate thousands of computerized beats that all work in harmony (do you see a connection?), but also has to concern itself with clever (or audibly pleasing) lyrics, which force the artist to stretch his or her ability with language to great levels. I'd say today's music is every bit as complex as Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart's music was in their respective periods. You just notice it less because of all the added layers.
I see what you are saying, but again, I have to differ. I do appreciate what todays music has to offer, be it layered beats, lyrics etc. However, having analyzed scores of music from great composers and music from today, the music of the 1500's on is vastly more complex on the melodic, harmonic, and occasionally the lyrical level(have you ever tried writing a song in German?) Composers not only did this without the aid of tech, but did it with style. Writing for 50+ instruments is genius.
@PDavidProductions You sir, have absolutely zero grasp on music or complexity of a piece if you think anything you hear on the radio is even in the same ball park of complexity as the three greats. You do realize you just roped the three greatest composers of all time into the same category as lil wayne.... because he has 'clever lyrics' lol.
@yarful That's exactly what I did, and I stand by that statement, but saying that to you is pointless. It's not like any logic I use will go into account for you because you've already made up your mind, which is fine, but don't say I have no grasp on music because some people have an open mind to music, while you're stuck in your little bubble.
@PDavidProductions I would venture to guess that you have a minimal grasp on many things in life, not just music. In 10 years nobody will no who lil wayne is. In 200 years people will still be listening to pieces such as this one. So by all means, continue standing. Having an open mind doesn't mean you suddenly have an understanding on anything.
@yarful And now you attack my character when the argument simply started by offering more open minded ideas than what was already present on this page. I'm not arguing that this music is at all bad. I'm just trying to say that I like more than JUST this. How does that mean I have minimal grasp on life?
we need more artists like this in our time. just because its old doesnt mean its not beautiful. im a teenager of the 21st century and i whole-heartily approve this message.
alright i am an idiot and i do love some classical but someone please tell me the title exactly to this little ditty ..........dah dah dah dah dah dah duh....duh duh duh duh...duh duh duh da... than repeat than duh duh duh da..duh duh duh da .usually played on the piano and usualy a begginners it is by beethoven i though
bei weitem nicht so genau in der Ausfuehrung wie die grossen Orchester aber dafuer mit sehr viel Fuelle und Druck. Man kann den wuetenden Beethoven vor seinem inneren Auge vor sich sehen. Sehr laut erscheinen die Blaeser die die Streicher des oefteren uebertoenen. Dafuer hoert man die pulsierenden Paukenschlaege in den langsamen und zarten Stellen des ersten Satzes.
gute Interpretation, wer es leise mag dem duerfte es zu laermend klingen
Warum wird das Stück immer von jedem zu jederzeit mit so viel Kraft und stark akezentuiert gespielt. Gibt es überhaupt eine Version, die alles etwas langsamer und gefühlvoller interpretiert wird. Ich glaube die Interpretation des Stückes im 20ten Jahrhundert mit dieser dynamischen Schiksalsnote hat dem Stück nicht immer gut getan. Karajan oder wie dieser Typ auch heißt hat dem Stück seinen Stempel für die Nachwelt aufgedrückt. Ob Beethoven seine Musik so interpretiert haben wollte?
he hadn't gone deaf at this point. He wrote this song about going deaf and how "fate was knocking at his door" that's the bombastic sounds at the beginning
@harku123 I thought he took the legs off his piano and sat on the floor so he could feel the vibrations and played along while he wrote? Correct me if Im wrong.
@ash3227 Could be after he went deaf maybe, but he still had the skill to work out how it sounded like in his head. The fact he wrote for numbers of instruments makes it even better!
@harku123 Are you sure that's Beethoven and not Mozart. As I recall Beethoven was deaf and took off the legs to his piano. Put it to the floor placing his deaf ear against the floor to hear what littlel he could. If any at all. He used vibrations more so to compose as he went on. I mean you could be right.
@massmedia4life719 I'm not 100% sure but I swear that's how I learnt it anyway... I mean they could probably both do it to be honest.. The ability to hear it inside their heads I mean.. You could be right as well I'm not really 100% anymore, I wrote my first message here a year ago and I just learnt about Beethoven and all but I've forgotten by now XD
@Trannol Yes, he could hear when he was young, and then, when he learned about his disease, he learned how to hear music in his mind. That's how he wrote down all those pieces of music.
Just watched this rendition of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. And, while not entirely varifiable without asking John Williams, I did hear an echo of Dual of the Fates. But then again Williams, as does A. L Webber with Pucini, does take a theme or two from other works. And now I begin to realize why I am so fond of Dual of the Fates to begin with. Like the Throne Room from Ep4, and the variation of the Imperial March while Han is being frozen. Those are my favorite Star Wars bits. As is the end of ep6
we had to do this song for our school orchestra last year and i loved it! just not the part where, for a shitty idea for a twist, 2 guys broadcasted it like a sport game. it pissed me and my friend off. :\
A lot of you have claimed this piece is too fast. This is actually about the correct speed Beethoven had intended it to be. In fact, many composers today have a bad habit of arranging Beethoven's pieces to run really slow and drag.
I love the really dramatic part where it comes rolling back its like at 4:05 and 6:38 Batman appears its such great dramatic entry music. I wish I had a magic music entrance ball, I burst into the room and it plays. lol but yeah great song and those two moments the only thing that comes to mind is Batman.
It may be fast, some instruments may be too loud (i'm just an amateur as far as classical music is concerned) but that's how i imagine Beethoven to be: passionate, intense, sublime!!!!(sorry for my broken English!)
whoever you might be, i have to say that i love you for your comment! Yes, that's how i expect Beethoven to be too: passionate, even inregular some times, even going a bit too far sometimes, even exagerating. That's why it is beethowen. I never found anyone with the same intensity of spirit as him... I love him. I read his life. A titan!!!
Nice to hear this almost at Beethoven's tempo markings! If Benjamin Zander had done a "period" performance I imagine it would have sounded something like this. Thanks for posting!
That old hory tale. Nay... But there is text that goes with the opening - according to Schindler. And that's - jest or not - pretty believable. ("Leck-mich-am-Arsch")
I have liked the role of drums and horns in this version though in other versions i use to hear their part is played not as loud as here. I've founded too fast, and especially in the wind section at almost the end of the movement, i think it should have been portraied in a softer way (don't know how to explain it in English, gentlemen, excuse me for not being more than a spanish "analfabeto" in what concerns English-speaking).
Beethoven was a genius, in every sense of the word.
And the fifth was the fruit of his labors; posibly one of the most well written songs in both classic and contemporary music. And on an off note it is nice to see some intellectual, perspircactic and well read people on Youtube. Cudos.
love classical it helps me relax when im sick like now ah chooooo!

Like the Throne Room from Ep4, and the variation of the Imperial March while Han is being frozen. Those are my favorite Star Wars bits. As is the end of ep6

Brilliant. This piece is so incredibly difficult to play, and even professionals stumble with it a lot of times. This is one of the best I've heard.

hey guys i want you to think about this really hard. What would make his music and reputation better if he was deaf or blind???

He WAS deaf, so it probably wouldn't matter.

truly great how a deaf genius can produce such a piece as this.

we had to do this song for our school orchestra last year and i loved it! just not the part where, for a shitty idea for a twist, 2 guys broadcasted it like a sport game. it pissed me and my friend off. :\

Thanks to post it.

A lot of you have claimed this piece is too fast. This is actually about the correct speed Beethoven had intended it to be. In fact, many composers today have a bad habit of arranging Beethoven's pieces to run really slow and drag.

I love the really dramatic part where it comes rolling back its like at 4:05 and 6:38 Batman appears its such great dramatic entry music. I wish I had a magic music entrance ball, I burst into the room and it plays. lol but yeah great song and those two moments the only thing that comes to mind is Batman.

I always get chills down my spine when I hear the end of the movement. It feel sort of cathartic to me.

It may be fast, some instruments may be too loud (i'm just an amateur as far as classical music is concerned) but that's how i imagine Beethoven to be: passionate, intense, sublime!!!!(sorry for my broken English!)
syanne28 4 years ago 8
whoever you might be, i have to say that i love you for your comment! Yes, that's how i expect Beethoven to be too: passionate, even inregular some times, even going a bit too far sometimes, even exagerating. That's why it is beethowen. I never found anyone with the same intensity of spirit as him... I love him. I read his life. A titan!!!

Nice to hear this almost at Beethoven's tempo markings! If Benjamin Zander had done a "period" performance I imagine it would have sounded something like this. Thanks for posting!

Actually, about Fate. The opening motif is supposed to represent Fate knocking at the door.

That old hory tale. Nay... But there is text that goes with the opening - according to Schindler. And that's - jest or not - pretty believable. ("Leck-mich-am-Arsch")

I have liked the role of drums and horns in this version though in other versions i use to hear their part is played not as loud as here. I've founded too fast, and especially in the wind section at almost the end of the movement, i think it should have been portraied in a softer way (don't know how to explain it in English, gentlemen, excuse me for not being more than a spanish "analfabeto" in what concerns English-speaking).
But i have really liked it, though.

Too much horn.....and a wee bit too fast....but it's still a very nice recording of the 1st movement to beethoven's 5

Great video and thanks for sharing. To me it's played a bit too quickly. Excellent, but way off the Otto Klemperer version.

Beethoven was a genius, in every sense of the word.
And the fifth was the fruit of his labors; posibly one of the most well written songs in both classic and contemporary music. And on an off note it is nice to see some intellectual, perspircactic and well read people on Youtube. Cudos.
