"Glorification of the Chosen Victim" (7:43-end) is just so intense and amazing. I love the crazy piccolo rips and the rhythms and everything. This is a great performance of it. Plus the timpani parts seem really fun.
@TheLastMyztery Well it does sound like a piece of music from Star Wars. It doesn't matter the order they came, they are similar and so one reminds people of the other. That's how brains work.
F# is 1/2 2 in left hand, 1, 2, and C key in right hand and the first/third octave key (if you have one. I have one but i still only use the first due to habit)
G is 1/2 and 2 in left hand, 1 and C key in right hand + 8va (same as F# but w/o the 2nd finger in right hand)
G# is just 1/2 and 8va in left hand
and finally A is just the 8va key. You can easily find a fingering chart with these notes on them (please do to double check me).
Again, 3rd 8va is better but most people don't have one.
@mikeppal Really? I like the way this is filmed. I'm not a classical music fan really. But from time to time I've heard classical that I liked and I'd always ask my friend "Who is this?" and he'd say Stravinsky. Apparently Stravinsky moves me like nothing else. I have this on in the background, with the most picturesque scenery out the window this morning and I swear my blood pressure has dropped. I feel at peace.
I really wanna know where those two oboe players learned to hold the instrument THAT close to their bodies. Not only would it be uncomfortable, it would be very difficult to get a good air stream because of the angle of the reed. I could never do it.
@TheBossCoder above the stave. Once you get to C# above the stave on the oboe you have to play harmonics so it becomes increasingly difficult. A very good oboe play can get A's but i struggle with G's myself so i admire these guys.
@Jvenvell I can get to an A if i start on a G and work my way up. Granted, I have to stick the entire reed in my mouth up to the string, but I can do it. I recently had to play the Persichetti Symphony for Band, and there was a good amount of notes above C in there and it was high but fun to play :)
@TheBossCoder wow! what figuring do you use? I worked out G by playing F# ( holes 1,2, 3 and 4 plus thumb and back 8ve key) without the top (B key) figure but thats as far as i got
@Jvenvell The fingerings I provided are considered the "standard" fingerings, but really you can just get harmonics on most notes. For example, if you finger a low B and then press the octave, it produces an F# at the top of the staff. Most harmonics come in 5th's so I bet you could figure out a way to finger 1st finger B and squeak out an F# :)
The crane shots are telling you that this is an organized telecast and it also says to me that they know what they're doing(the director and staff).This gives me the shots of where the action is with the composition,what they composer is doing with his music.I like that effect as I listen to the music .It bring more to just listening to the music.I see where the composer is with this thoughts.P.S.I see what the conductor is doing also.

@kwark1223 This brings to mind something one of my past conductors said to the orchestra, "You're the ones doing all the work, I'm just up here communing with the spirits." MTT is a much more serene maestro and, personally, a conductor who makes a big performance out of his post is a distraction.
@AIPThePharaoh Dude thats the way that its supposed to sound. The way the Stravinsky wrote the chords and notes in the peice they are supposed to clash and sound really earsplitting.
@whatevernice345 Kind of funny to think that for years after the premier of this piece there were still heated debates about wether it would ever enter the orchestral literature. I guess time has a way of proveing or disproveing most things lol.
