  • @vielgluck86 I didnt know George Washington wrote music. Is this true? The President? Where can I find some of his musical peices?

  • @SnifferOfPuss69 i was only joking, because i thought haydn resembled washington

  • @SnifferOfPuss69 Frederick II of Prussia also wrote music.

  • Blood looks quite black in the moonlight.

    

  • @TH3RUTILUSDRACO

    Pussy...

  • is this typical classical era music? because with the chromaticism and complex chord sequences, the long(ish) phrases, and just overall, it sounds quite romantic to me?

    Yet Haydn is of the classical era?

    i'm still learning so please don't get upset with my comment haha, just please reply :)

  • @SupraStarrr Haydn is a composer of the classical era, but it is interesting to keep in mind that Haydn was the teacher of the great Beethoven, the composer how built the bridge over to the romantic era. How much in Haydn's style in-fluent that walkline?

  • Joseph Haydn was considered one of the greatest composers of his time, he trained Mozart and Beethoven and like a true master his music lives on

  • @angrymetalhead yet he tried to steal music that Bethoveen had writen, saying the world wasn't ready for this kind of music and quided him not to publish it. Then he went back his back and tried to publish it in his own name... But he write great music, i agree on that!

  • @TheFillafillason yea sure

  • @angrymetalhead well,it is true. Check for your self:-)

  • @TheFillafillason it wasnt a sarcastic sure it was a i dont really care anymore sure lol

  • i can listen to the lestat sonata on repeat forever.

    Robert Double - Lost

  • Im realated to Joseph Haydn.... for a long time my family has been wondering where i got my music talent from and now we know!!

  • ...... Not quite furiouso, moderato? Contabile perhaps?

  • @ares12790 Adagio Cantadible to be exact =B

  • @kron0123 Ask the alligator. His blood helped.....

  • @ares12790 Haha ...how could it be?

  • @akatify Ask the alligator. His blood helped.

  • @ares12790 Interview with the vampire? :)

  • @gianga23 yep that's the film. well done

  • @ares12790 Beautiful film and even more beautiful book. Haydn is often mentioned in Anne Rice's books.

  • ready when you are Dr Lectar....

  • BRAVO.

  • 3:15 - 4:30 = <3 I absolutely love this song. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

  • Nice performance.

    I'm studying this piece too.

    The thing I'm wondering: Horrowitz is rippling chords where it isn't notated and playing appoggiatura's when it isn't notated. I like the rippling more than hitting it though. I'm wondering: can you just do that, if it isn't in the music?

  • Beautiful.....just beautifuuuul

  • Comment removed

  • Cool! This sounds like there's some influence towards Beethoven in here. Listen to the heavy dark notes.

  • it's good music, but I prefer Barok more :-)

  • @stormwarrior007 The Baroque period was filled wuth brilliant minds I can't see where your coming from. =D

  • @Salha7 this is classicisme :p

  • @stormwarrior007 Lool fair enough. =D

  • @Salha7  ;-)

  • wonderful... that's the closest word to say about this incredible music!

  • @DarkIntern Yeah, you make a good point. Although I did say to the commenter, "I'm sorry IF you're offended", rather than "I'm sorry THAT you're offended", thus implying no assumption on my part.

  • murder gran bretaña mortem sterber marwolaeth mortemno avatoç

  • ahh. The smooth humble music of the great Haydn. Just what the tired mind needs on a sunday night

  • @SwampKing04 Humble music? He's got 32nd note trills lol. hardly humble. beautiful though.

  • @vengefall aren't all trills 32nd notes?

  • @SwampKing04 Although this song is quite relaxing, I'm finding, all our favourite, Für Elise to be the best way to inhale the powerful themes of classical music.

  • sounds like mozart

  • @NiScontex they have lived in the same age. Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert are called the Vienna Big 4 ;d

  • @ganch123 what about vanhal how does he fit in to this system ?

  • Indeed, oh Lestat

  • bravo

  • "Oh bliss, bliss and heaven! Gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now.”

  • 3:17 Oh Lestat...

  • Comment removed

  • why did those 23 people bother voting at all? if you don't like horowitz, you don't like haydn, you have something against classical music, why bother taking the time to vote at all? this is music. go listen to justin beiber if you want entertainment

  • oh, I think it is something you can explain to them...just tell them, find meaning in everything, that everything is an expression, a manifestation of everything else, not to be excluded from what is regarded as 'appropriate' or 'in' or 'cool' or 'patriotic', but an elaboration on these. It is difficult to do this, if not impossible...but...well, you will have lots of opportunity to do this...

  • good ol' papa haydn.

  • I'm confused, can someone tell me what movement this is?

  • @lampshade743 Sonata no. 49 2nd Mvt. Adagio Cantabile (wittius maximus)

  • It is to my understanding that this composition is in B flat major. However, it sounds very wonderful!

  • @Dante121892 The first movement is in Eb. The 2nd is in Bb. The final is back in Eb with a little bit of Gb in there for flavor. Set to simmer. Wait two hours. Dig in.

  • @ticktockfool So might this be in 2nd movement? If that's the case, is it in B flat major? I, by ear, indicated the key signatures. It goes from B flat major, to B flat minor, then back to B flat major. it doesn't take a lot of time for me to discover the key signature of any song.

  • @Dante121892 Yep, absolutely the 2nd Mvt. and yep, you're right again. Bb major with a bit of some Bb minor in there as well. Good ears good ears! Usually, ..usually guys will wright a work in a key with other movements in closely related keys. So that's why this Eb sonata's 2nd movement is in Bb. That Bb minor thing, heheh that's Dear Mr. Haydn for ya. :)

  • @ticktockfool oh! thank u! heheh my ears never deceive me. =)

  • @Dante121892 why don't you guys just pick up the phone and have this thing done with?

  • @sapperrdeflap um no thank u!.. we're already done.. lol

  • @Dante121892 Wise man... ;-)

  • @sapperrdeflap ooohhhh so I wouldn't be a wise man to you even if I didn't settle it over the phone?... lol jk

  • its not my thing but its oookaaaayyy i surpose...

  • lindo!!!!!

  • @ShredManShred A misunderstanding on my part. I presumed that from your comparison of this piece to "Rondo alla Turca" and the "Moonlight" Sonata. These pieces draw in a lot of new listeners.

    Also a poor choice of words on my part. It has little to do with the understanding of classical forms and techniques and more to do with acquired taste and emotional understanding.

    ...so basically, you're right. =/

  • @ShredManShred I didn't come to that conclusion based solely on your distate for this sonata, it was a combination of things. Of course I understand there are differneces in taste, but as one continues to explore a style of music, their taste evolves. This piece may eventually grow on you or it may not.

  • @ShredManShred It is only used broadly because most people are ignorant of other forms and with music being mass produced it is also a matter of convenience. An err being commonplace should not make it acceptable.

    Why does it matter who we remember more? Composers gain and fall out of favour all the time, don't mistake popularity as an indicator of quality.

    I suspect you haven't listened to much Haydn. Explain how his "Fifths" quartet or his London Symphony "lack vibrancy".

  • isto é uma merda

  • @ShredManShred Is that so? Your proclivity for calling everything a "song" had lead me to believe otherwise.

    I understand then that you simply don't like his music, but you speak contumeliously of his approach to the "classical tradition" in spite of his role in its development. Do you not like symphonies or string quartets then? How about piano trios?

  • Comment removed

  • @TheEvilMonkey258 Yeah! Many of the pieces I love listening to I have to save them in favorites or something like that, since they don't have a name I will never remember how to get to them again!

  • @TheEvilMonkey258 It doesn't have a name. If you want to be blunt, you can refer to it as: "Hob XVI:49, II." That's how musicians differentiate it from other pieces. However, if you feel poetic, you can give it any name you like. If it's a good and fitting one, it may even stick, and future generations will refer to it under its new name. :-)

    It has happened often enough - the majority of Haydn's "named" pieces were given their names by other other people.

    But I wonder if it really needs a name.

  • @ShredManShred Those songs you referred to, are a bit more direct in their message. Some pieces require a level of emotional openness to understand. As I continue to grow older, I understand certain pieces and feel them differently than I did as a child.

  • Just simply dynamic!

  • @23Overcomer I grew up with classical music and have fell in love with almost every other genre of music since. The classics like this still move me more than everything after! Thank god for my mother introducing me to this at a young age. I am 29 by the way but feel masters like this have been lost for a long time.

  • une merveille !!! merci

  • Just as the yellow that in fall is hushed and with crimson and amber blushed,so does Haydn's piano speak to me.My soul is the only immortal part of me as is this composition...

  • How can someone actually NOT like this music? It's really beyond me...

  • Fell in love at 1:15 and again at 2:22 then my heart broke at 3:17. This is the most beautiful piece of artwork I have come to gain knowledge of. This makes me fall in love with life. I wish I could play it over and over and over again.

  • Let us have no hatred towards music and towards those with different taste then our own.Some have no sense to why we enjoy classical and some have no sense onto those who enjoy rap but we still enjoy music all together. Let music be judged by those who understand it and not by those who wish to not.We all have some soul, let us not express it with arrogance.

  • @themxco I agree. I met a lady who said all music except classical was trash. I told her a lot of classical music could be called trash but like beauty-- it's in the eyes of the beholder. I told her if she would care to open her mind a little I could give her some rap music she would enjoy. She didn't want to give it a try. I met a lawyer in 1992 who was classically trained but caught is son listening to Dr. Dre's Chronic CD. He heard it was full of profanity so he listened and enjoyed it.

  • 20 people have no musical taste.

  • The beauty is in the subtleties.

  • you don't know how to listen to music, these men smoked, drank and enjoyed life the way life was ment to be enjoyed. Be a hater, this music will exist for eternity, not next week in 3:28 seconds.

  • Beautiful playing. And so relaxing to listen to. Go Vladimir.

  • Simple yet Complex yet Easy yet Difficult, Subtle yet Blunt, and Amusing yet Serious.

  • Honestly, I love this music, like most any other genre. I listen to just about everything from Jay-Z and T.I. to Queen and Coldplay(everything excludes stuff like ke$ha and bieber, thats not music, its garbage). You can't come up with anything but a childish excuse to epxlain why this music isn't beautiful, it simply cannot be done.

  • awsome

  • Comment removed

  • @rgmatos2 I really don't.

  • i love 3:18-4:26 the best; also comes on Interview with a Vampire. Lestat (Tom Cruise) is playing it when he comes back after Claudia kills him.

  • Kreatxer is a great poet in touch with his emotions, and able to transcribe feelings into words well, but it's meaningless really, just a momentary whimful reverie. In the light of day this is just one type of music, you either like it or you don't. I used to get as emotional listening to hip-hop.

    The feelings you describe are sudden hormonal rushes in your brain, brought on by such feelings as nostalgia, hype, and contemplation. Material teenagers experience the same feelings listening to pop.

  • Although like the comparitively newer styles of 60s and 70s rock the most, I can't sit here and say that this music is not completely breath-taking.

  • classic music is the only proof we have that a lot of years ago there were great musicians with education and soul....

  • @8ruba pshh. such elitism, such snobbery. there are plenty of modern musicians with so called "soul".

  • @jtoregan well he didn't say that there weren't any in modern age with a soul for music, but alot had been based on these classical pieces u know

  • @jtoregan if you think that nowadays musicians are educated just because they can play some chords and write some "hits" which will be played for 1 year or two in order to make some money then you are in the wrong direction! i am not saying that all of them are uneducated and amateurs but the majority of them are.

  • @8ruba It seems that many people don't like our high rated comments, Ruba. I keep receiving hatemail too. lol

  • 5* I hate how everyone compares any good music to Justin Bieber or LGaga. It's getting annoying.

  • Why does everyone love justin bieber,miley cirus,etc???!!! This is alot better and will always be remembered.It makes music to your soul and is peaceful and not breaking your ear drums all the time.I love it so much I even learned how to play it including others by beethoven,etc.

  • justin bieber could perfectly have composed this himself

  • @unpracticalrunway SOOO TRUE <3

  • 18 people were born without ears.

  • OH HEY IM 10 YEARS OLD AND I LIKE MOZART BETTER THAN JONAS BROTHERS. "I DESARV RESPACK" who cares about your age? lol

  • 3:18 onwards is phenomenal. This is real music.

  • Zorttttttttttttttttt

  • Perfect song, if i can say this.

  • peace

  • *sits back and listens*

  • 3 :18 was it that played lestad in the INTERVIEW WHIT A VAMPIRE ?

  • Yes~

  • @kelly7key Yes it was played by Lestat De Lioncourt.This was his signature song.He plays it in Interview with a Vampire my favorite moive.

  • this is 100 time better than justin beiber

  • @Phantom663 Yeah, I've never heard anyone say something like that before.

  • @Phantom663 Amen brother! 

  • @Phantom663

    justin beiber is yuck... well this is what i think

  • @Phantom663 why is Justin Bieber coming into the comment board for something that was composed centuries before any of us were alive? i hate irrelevant comments like this.

  • @moldypanda music is music, new or old

    this is just BETTER music than jusin beiber, how is that irrelevant?

  • It takes a great mind to create master pieces like this. It is no easy task, I assure all of you. Not just anyone can learn to read music and play music all the time and have the ability to create such wonderful music. It takes very very brilliant minds for this kind of work. <3 That's why classical is so special. :]

  • Nooo!! The only way I can get this version of the piece is from the American iTunes store - and I'm British :( Where else can I get this version???

  • @xXSweeneyLovettXx Do what I do when I need a free mp3. Just google "Free mp3 songtitle" rofl and click every link until you get the right one. :P try Kohit.net They might have it. O_o

  • You hear this music with your soul, so, if you are the kind of person who has his soul "closed" and live in the material world, you cannot understand the songs essence, as equally a person who understands their beauty, cannot describe it with words, as they are a comunication system that only belongs on the physic realm

    Made with the soul, to be listened with the soul

  • @Kreatxer - That was a great comment.

  • @Kreatxer

    That was a great comment... I wish more people could think and see things as you do. The world would be a different place.

  • @Kreatxer that's so bullshit.  I'm a musician who understands this work, and many others, and loves music for its own sake. I do not believe in the traditional concept of a "soul". might you explain this apparent conundrum?

  • @DeMars3 people know soul as a unit of ourselves, wich is a body that carries our energies that sustain our other bodies (physical and mental) so without listening with our physical body (where we find sound limitations) or with the mental ( interpreting a lyric) and simply let the music flow inside us (the energy body) we could find more in a song than we think

  • @Kreatxer I think your terms like "energy" etc. are too vague for me to really understand what you said. I mean, yes I understand about emotion etc., but ultimately, that is a manifestation of biological, chemical, and physical phenomena.

  • @Kreatxer How beautifully said, thank you : ) !

  • @Kreatxer i can't say this with less words

  • @Kreatxer but what if im a ginger?

    

  • @applepiesandchicken you make a cake

  • @Kreatxer you are so wise

  • @applepiesandchicken gingers can't listen to this they have no souls!! lol

  • @Scruffypuppet i am ginger ;(

  • @Kreatxer I never believed that a soul exists, but it does seem that some people are lacking something. They can't understand the beauty in nature or in music, and it's not something you can explain to them. Very interesting

  • @Forseti6288 people with two differents points of view, and still, share the same amusing feeling about the music :D

  • @Kreatxer I was hoping you'd feel that way =P lol

  • @Forseti6288 Yes.....the soul does extist......and those that you see don´t understand the beauty in nature and in music, simply have not cared for their soul. If you have the time...read Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore

  • @mauriciobeltre [1] It certainly works as a good figure of speech. "Caring for the soul" gives a much different impression than "caring for the mind", and I may even use it in that sense once in a while. But really the existence of a soul is a scientific question, and although it seems as though some things simply cannot be from the mind, the evidence shows quite the opposite. (Continued...)

  • @mauriciobeltre [2] The spiritual feelings that you may have, as far as the evidence goes, come from the brain, and I think the confusion on the issue comes from culture. I dont think the fact that emotions come from my brain, demeans my emotions in the slightest. The brain is fascinating. You have only to do some reading about it and see for yourself.

  • @Forseti6288

    Would you describe the fragrance of your farts as fruity or woody... either way I'm sure you find them quite exquisite

  • @Forseti6288 that's awfully condescending

  • @shroomingnewman I apologize if you are offended. I didn't think anyone would be, since I was being so vague.

  • @Forseti6288 why would i be offended? i'm just making an observation.

  • @shroomingnewman If you can see no reason to be offended, then I don't see what the issue is. =P

  • sooo true

  • @Kreatxer Ugh. This is why most people don't listen to music like this. It's exactly this snub, holier than thou attitude that people hate.

  • @MuayThaiCSP no...the reason classical music isn't popular is because it's not boorish or vulgar therefore it's not "edgy" or "cool". Just think back to high school: who were the snobs? the symphony kids? or the wannabe rappers and pop stars? Aficionados of classical music are merely defending their taste against the douchebaggery of mass culture.

  • @MuayThaiCSP So you don't listen to music cuz of the people who listen to it?

    T

    here's at least one kazillion of douchebags per enjoyable thing in life. If you're not going to enjoy whatever may be cuz a bunch of douchebags also happen to like it, you better shut indoors, and do nothing. Oh wait, there's prolly a million of douchebags who do that as well... well then, all that's left is suicide. No wait, also done by douchebags... boy.. you're screwed.

  • Comment removed

  • @Kreatxer Absolutely true! Music is supposed to make you feel its emotion, It has been a long time since falling into a song uninhibited has been experienced.

  • @Kreatxer Add me to your friends. You are a deep person.

  • @Kreatxer

    Sorry, but there's no such things as a soul.

    You hear this piece with you're ears and you either enjoy it or not. Someone who doesn't understand this kind of music doesn't ''have he's soul closed,'' he is just one of the unlucky ones who never gets to experience true music and the geniosity of classical music.

  • @NjallPiano "astral projection" or "near-death experience" well, i can say with honor that i experienced an "near-death experience", and that, makes me tell you, that you got plenty of time, to realize that what you said is not the reality. but, be my guest, you're 16 years old? you got about 60 years until you find the answer that i already got ;)

    but thank you for your opinion "soulless" boy

  • @NjallPiano buzz killing nigger

  • @Kreatxer I am most certain it is of the brain not the "soul"

  • @Deesade86 and what triggers the brain? it's called "mental body" and it's where your conscience reside, the responsible for "deja-vu's", sixth sense, premonitions, gut feelings and generally, your toughts

  • @Kreatxer Your thoughts reside in the brain. Not this "mental body" that you propose. You sound superstitious
