Schönberg Verklärte Nacht part 2

[gsmonks]

You know cutbacks are getting out of hand when concert halls have to sell off the musicians' chairs.

[twentyfists]

Aggh! That abrupt ending! If only there were no breaks, it would be perfect!

[gerkov77]

People! Don't go to concerts if you are ill, and coughing all the time ruining! Please!

[Fishhooker]

People don't know if they're going to be sick on that day in advance, when they most likely bought the ticket. Besides, the coughing's not that bad. I'd go to a concert if I were sick.

The poem this music illustrates is most lovely. Could you print it here?

[MusicXComposers]

I am carrying a child, and not of yours; I walk in sin beside you. I have deeply transgressed against myself. I no longer believed in happiness and yet had a great yearning for purposeful life, for the happiness and responsibility of motherhood; so I dared and, shuddering, let my body be embraced by a strange man, and have become pregnant from it. Now life has taken its revenge, now that I have met you.

[MusicXComposers]

She walks with awkward step.

She looks up: the moon accompanies them.

Her dark glance is inundated with light.

A man's voice speaks:

[belianis]

Yes? Yes? What follows?

[edcassells]

5:12 and following is just glorious.

[amper0003]

Thank you...

[edcassells]

So much more meaningful when you know the story. Great performance.

[doromamire]

My favorite moment in this piece... everything is quiet and dark, and then like a breath of fresh air, D major. It's so warm and beautiful in contrast to the previous section. I love this piece so much. :)
