Beethoven, Symphony 9, 4th movement (complete) Ode to Joy), Presto, Philharmonia Baroque

[bornastickfigure]

Beautiful! *tears up* (':

[96marth5]

VOR GOTT! That was beautiful, 9:25

[JonasErmolt]

My favorite part: 17:19 - 18:54

[rolandolerma]

BRAVO, BRAVISIMO!



[n5017858]

Wonderful, you have completed the set, Thank you very much,

And it was well worth the wait

[tarnegolet]

A true gift

[FeRnAnDo1538]

9:15 this is the part when kaworu opened the door of the central dogma in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

[garam21th]

우와 재밌다ㅋㅋ

[Bigfred523]

Did Beethoven want there to be words? I would like it beter without words. But none the less this is the best music I will ever listen to. I listen to this every night as I go to sleep.

[saxman001]

@Bigfred523 Yes, this was done intentionally by Beethoven. He was the first to use a chorus and vocal soloists in a symphony. It is because of the vocalists that this movement is called "Ode To Joy." The lyrics are from Schiller's poem "Ode To Joy" written in 1785. Excellent piece, that's for sure.

[MillaLevi]

Awesome.

[oilersridersbluejays]

I have a request for you smalin. I imagine it would be difficult but if you could do all 4 movements of Beethoven's 9th this one would be slightly easier perhaps. The entire score of Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto. My personal opinion is that it is The Maestro's 2nd best work (after this one of course)! :) thank you much.

[smalin]

@oilersridersbluejays My to-do list is way too long for me to consider any more requests; sorry.

[oilersridersbluejays]

Beethoven: there is nothing better.

[MrFatalis123]

This must be an epic boss battle theme

[jani14jani]

@MrFatalis123

Nah, Beethovens pathitique sonata 1mvt , Moonlight sonata 3rd mvt or the 1st mvt of his 5th symphony would fit as boss battle themes but not this! this mvt of the symphony is all about achieving piece between humans!¨

Universal brotherhood etc...

[Forestbender1114]

And here...we...go.

12:55

[Apanzon]

This song reminds me christmas and german terrorists. Love it!

[hayesism]

@Apanzon What is it you cowboys say? "Freude, schöner Götterfunken, muddafucka..."

[FrankSinatra89]

@Apanzon german terrorists? ;-)

[Apanzon]

@FrankSinatra89 Die Hard. ^^

[FrankSinatra89]

@Apanzon Paradise...I hope? Die hard, too!;-)

[whyioccupy]

Many thanks

[PianoDude1011]

@smalin what do you mean? and also, how do you make the quality as original also?

[smalin]

@PianoDude1011 YouTube has a "partner" program. You'd know if you belonged to it. Partners have special privileges (and responsibilities).

[PianoDude1011]

how do you post a video at 1080p as its max quality? the most i can go up to is 720p.

[ratzlp0li]

@PianoDude1011 this guy is pro man

[neocaeczar]

Tyvm

[randomprimate]

anybody else seeing dohnanyi do this in cleveland in a few weeks? IT IS GOING TO BE OFF THE FUCKING CHAIN

[Alman556]

This is gorgeous beyond gorgoeusity.

[Pentarches]

1080p? This is basically the best thing on YouTube.

[smalin]

@Pentarches Are you saying you're not able to watch it in 1080p?

[Pentarches]

@smalin No no, I mean to say, "Beethoven's 9th is in 1080p? Then it is surely the best thing on YouTube."

[TheStevenOoi]

@smalin having such nice video on youtube and it is available on 1080p is really great

[MrKermit09]

@smalin do you think you could do Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture?

just a simple request, it is my favorite classical song.

[smalin]

@MrKermit09 You'll have to get somebody else to do it; I don't like Tchaikovsky's music much enough to be able to stand listening to it as many times as I have to during the production of one of these videos.

[SuperApolloX]

Wonderful!

[serujioneko]

What is this program?

[smalin]

@serujioneko Something I wrote.

[Hattakiri]

Reminds me to......Brahms Symphony 1, esp 4th Movement...

...can you do that too? ó_ò

[Simnic123456789]

13:50

i love it

it's so great

[starflower17]

I was wondering since this was so great! Could you do the Firebird suite please? :)

[mediatapwater]

Yes humanity can create such beauty, i am glad to be alive..

Thank you for your amazing work.

[2bakri]

I was talking to someone very valuable to me, and in an intense moment in our conversation...I told her how I feel and she gave me a great reply...exactly during 9:20..... made for epic background music!!

[Kamyu03]

Finally...!



[joshua1234715]

It would be even better without vocals

[seramoon]

Thank you smalin!

[TempodiPiano]

Wouldn't you like to make the score of a modern piece ? For example by Ligeti.

[smalin]

@TempodiPiano The problem with modern music is getting permission to use it; if a composition is under copyright, I need to pay royalties to use it. I tried that once, a Webern piece I included on a videotape I made in 1990, and it was a real pain in the *** dealing with it. So now, I don't do contemporary music unless I get permission directly from the composer.

[whistlingbadger]

Wonderful. 11:10-13:46 is one of the most intense, most magnificent chapters in the history of music. The conflict between joy and despair--the same conflicting forces that start out the movement--rages in the composer's mind. Finally, a moment of calm and quiet as the composer makes his choice, a choice that is decisively and magnificently stated.

Because joy, creativity, and love are, in the end, ours to choose. Thank you for sharing this. Viva Beethoven.

[randominternetguy1]

Viddy well!

[jimthree60]

lovely piece of music, wonderful bar score too. Thanks !!

[ikschrijflangenamen]

Who is Elysium? What is a Cherub?

[hotelmario510]

@ikschrijflangenamen Elysium is the Greek idea of Heaven. A Cherub is an angelic being. Child angels are called "Putti", not "Cherubs".

[hotelmario510]

The whole thing is beautiful, but 12:38-13:47 is my favourite part.

[ikschrijflangenamen]

@hotelmario510 I like 2:29-5:33 the best.

[Tom501st]

vor gott means in front of god.... omg



[izzyjamm4]

I mean, smalin.

[izzyjamm4]

So many videos on Youtube made it difficult to grasp the composition of the 4 movement; many of the videos are excerpts of different lengths, and a lot start at different points in the music. Thanks, musanim, for your straightforward presentation.

[vanburikwouter]

6:20 for the best solo ever

[willrelio2609]

please i dont have the musanim dvd make the hungarian rhapsody no 2

i want it so bad!!!!!!

[smalin]

@willrelio2609 Sorry, you'll have to wait ... at least until I sell the rest of the DVDs.

[willrelio2609]

@smalin OMG...THE STEPHEN MALINOWSKI.......THANKS FOR REPLYING MY COMMENT!!!

[maechel200]

It sounds later better. The chor was later very good. The woman for solo was not so good.

[maechel200]

What a good work of you! Pardon, who was the conducter?

[smalin]

@maechel200 See the FAQ.

[donricouga]

There is NOTHING beyond this piece! Seeing it like this is pretty cool actually

[maechel200]

@donricouga You do not like it. But later it was better. The conductor was the reason.

[nm71O]

Wow i never liked opera but after i noticed that the man was going into different pitches while hitting one note i have a new found respect for it.

[AngelVencedor2008]

Pretty Colors 

[AXidenTCat]

Are we likely to see a video of the 4th movement of Hammklavier later down the track?

[smalin]

@AXidenTCat  Yes, but not soon.

[symjm]

Thank you for posting!

[bakerthaer]

only a GREAT music can remain beautiful after hundreds of years ,

i'm wondering who will listen to recent Lil Wyane and Bueber's songs after 20 years or more !!

[Inflatonable]

Great job on your part but a rather eccentric performance. Note the muted applause at the end.

[ravenslaves]

...I was cured all right..

It sounds like it was a cold venue. Some of the instruments went flat as they warmed up.

[LestatxLouis1]

I like how "Wollust" (lust) was translated as "pleasure".

[vanburikwouter]

Could you also do the Liszt transcriptions?

[smalin]

@vanburikwouter I could, but I probably won't.

[LordMarcusX]

@smalin Then how about making your software fully available to someone who DOES want to make it?

[smalin]

@LordMarcusX My software isn't for the faint of heart. Helping somebody else use it would be more work than doing it myself.

[Treijim]

@smalin why does making your software available equal you helping people use it? why not say you wont help people use it and let clever ones figure it out?

[smalin]

@Treijim That's what I used to do (and nobody did anything with the source code I gave them), but now I'm planning to go into business with it, so I'm just going to wait until I have something that I'd feel comfortable publishing. In the meantime, I tell "clever ones" to do it themselves from scratch. I've rewritten the software from the ground up several times since I started (in 1982); it's not hard. Many people have already done this.

[Treijim]

@smalin thats cool. can you tell me where i can find the software that other people have made? im very interested in using software like this.

[smalin]

@Treijim Search YouTube for animations with my name (Stephen Malinowski) or the name of my software (Music Animation Machine) that are not on one of my three channels (smalin, musanim, stephenmalinowski) and that don't look like the animations generated by my freeware (which you can see on my web site).

[mphello]

@smalin Are you saying you WROTE this software?!

DAMN! That's AMAZING! BEETHOVEN amazing!

[Dreadnoughtification]

I wish I was there at the premiere, and could hear all the applause.

[mphello]

@Dreadnoughtification I, too. If I had a time machine, 1824 May 7 Vienna would be first destination on my list.

[hotelmario510]

German is so beautiful in the right context.

[fortbruce]

Thank you!! This was like being able to visualize The "Ode to Joy" for the first time! Bravo!!!

[leotaku2006]

Thanks for bringing back to us all the childhood memories that these pieces of art evoque. Greetings from Colombia.

[MaximilianPs]

I'll never say thank you enough :)

[GameGlitcher94]

I want to see you do Ludovico Einaudi.

[smalin]

@GameGlitcher94 If you can get me his permission to use a recording, I'll consider it.

[GameGlitcher94]

@smalin Right i'll try and contact the general music association to see the terms, i don't think a publishised agreement is needed for his music but i will make sure first, and thankyou! I just love his music so much.

[smalin]

@GameGlitcher94 YouTube requires that I have full permission (for both the composition and the recording of the performance).

[GameGlitcher94]

@smalin Ok, i will try, if i succeed i'll contact you via youtube smalin. Very nice piece by the way i did forget to comment on this wonderful video. I am also currently playing some Beethoven, i finished Moonlight sonata movement 1 a while back, some of his later works are just superb!

[Ibakecookiess]

Im sure im not alone when i say i really appreciate your work and think it is magnificent. Im also quite amazed at how well kept your channel is and how fast, plentiful and helpful your responses to our comments are. Just wanted to make sure you knew how good you are, mr stephen malinowski.

[watsuthi]

Any plans to do the Mozart?

[smalin]

@watsuthi "The" Mozart?

[watsuthi]

@smalin  concerto , symphony of mozart

[smalin]

@watsuthi I've done a movement of a Mozart symphony, a movement of a Mozart piano concerto, a movement of Eine Kleine Nachtmusic, a movement from a Mozart opera ...

[ikschrijflangenamen]

I have the same piece on my mp3 player, but it only shows the Italian names of the parts, and not the movement number. This sounds like the Presto and the Allegro Assai put together.

[Canadarocksish]

I just love the trumpet!! especially after 17:17 (I'm actually not too sure if its the trumpet, but its the yellow bar :D)

[TheDardanius]

omg this isnt music any more.... this is magic!!!

[betochiwas]

@smalin dou you permit to me to do an spanish traducction of this I will respect you as original author?

[L4zy1]

While watching these when I turn away from the screen everything is bending like an acid trip.

more importantly the music really touches the heart. That is all I can say. except..

Thank You

[NNNoooaaammm]

9:35 is the best part

[chrisbazin]

What a masterpiece ! Thank you so much to you and Ludwig :-)

[banginghats2]

Any plans to do the Eroica?

[smalin]

@banginghats2 If I get to them, I'll do all Beethoven's symphonies.

[banginghats2]

@smalin Thanks, looking forward to them.

[Nuthin141]

When I saw that he uploaded the 4th mvt. I jizzed a little.. :o

[stormforce35]

A great way to listen with your eyes!!! Thank you, smalin.

[Jp221292]

Like Beethoven, the Ninth Symphony is your masterpiece, Stephen. Congratulations!

[stuartnz42]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! the 9th, and especially An die Freude, has been my favourite piece of music since I was a teen, and I've been hanging out for it to receive your treatment. It was worth the wait!

[kevinaudleman]

I just showed this to my 17 year old little bro and his girlfriend and they were mesmerized. They were able to stay focused on a classical piece for 20 minutes....quite an amazing feat! Thank you so much for doing these. Not just for them either; my own appreciation of classical music has deepened as a result.

[BLooDCoMPleX]

Beethoven is the best thing happened to this world. Thanks for sharing his work Mr. Malinowski.

[Mike7jkl]

Superb, another winner! Well done, I really enjoyed it.

Thank you sooo much.

[therapsids]

This is the first time I've actually seen the English translation. Is this supposed to mean that anyone who dies unmarried is unable to enter heaven?

[smalin]

@therapsids  Not to worry. The policy was rescinded in the 1970s.

[PTNLemay]

@therapsids

I'm not sure I understand what your statement means... English translation to what exactly?

[aabcehmu34]

Joy, Joy, Joy

[rody7321]

muchas gracias ala persona qrealiso este viedeo lo estube esperando y denuevo mil gracias y q dios te bendige

[banginghats2]

Thanks so much. The first time a graph has made me really emotional!

[smalin]

@banginghats2 I doubt it was the graph ...

[hindenburgful]

Beethoven, his music...the most reliable evidence that a God must rely behind the heavens because this just could have been conceived by divine inspiration. Thank you "smalin" for the beautiful and real music ! (Sorry for my english)

[trolhamontanha]

nice work

i reckon the translation is a bit cagey

[nauj976431]

this is like God playing tetris n_n

[smartperson0906]

I have a request for music. Could you please work on more movements of Handel's Messiah, in addition to the Hallelujah Chorus that you've already done? I'd love to see more good choral music on your channel.

[yiiseang]

Salute...

[Xhosalion]

great graphical score, very helpful, thank you, to understand what is taking place. I suggest a different, more clear translation of 'ward dem Wurm gegeben' as 'base lust was consigned to the snake'. By calling the snake a worm, Schiller is further robbing it of it's dignity.

[countersubject889]

I really like the corbel font.

[IAmThinkTankDubstep]

Man, id love to meet you one day.

[smalin]

@IAmThinkTankDubstep You'd probably be disappointed. I'm just some guy. The most interesting thing about me is what I do, and you're already seeing that.

[udupiboy]

@smalin Wonderful thinking, I can relate to your thoughts. Thanks for the great music. Thanks a ton.

[saradomin9742]

@smalin noo don't say that about yourself i think you are awesome =D

[Darkside007]

@smalin I'd just like to shake your hand and say thank you.

[BrothersFreedive]

@smalin Now I'm intrigued by your humility, I'd love to meet you.

[smalin]

@BrothersFreedive Don't be misled. I'm not especially humble. But I'm not interesting company.

[Kuckooracha]

Sir, would you answer a few questions for a young lad eager to explore the world of "classical" music? Or maybe you don't have the time? I played the viola some time ago but never grew a big interest for music studies. Skimming through the comments and watching your videos got me quite interested! And what I considered back then as "boring" is now a delight. For example, I never realized that Lully's Marche des Turcs could be so... majestuous and impressive!

[smalin]

@Kuckooracha Well ... let's just start with one question and see how it goes.

[Kuckooracha]

@smalin I'll ask the first one here: do you believe that music, in order to be appreciated, must be understood or that it is an emotional and personal connection? I believe you did some research on the subject, reading your bio.

[smalin]

@Kuckooracha  The answer lies in what is meant by "understood" in your question. I couldn't begin to answer in 500 characters.

[indgiu]

what do the vertical lines represent? bars, half-bars?

[smalin]

@indgiu  Bars.

[DanielRI02]

Thank you based Smalin.

[smalin]

@DanielRI02  based?

[brunoedmac]

btw, any plans on Mozart's Requiem?

[smalin]

@brunoedmac Vague plans. There are a lot of things ahead of it that are more definite, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

[Villanellist]

Wonderful! I've been frequently checking here for this! What a great Christmas gift. Thank you!

[smalin]

@Villanellist And a Christmas gift you can pass along for free ...

[MrSkovbakke]

I have waited so long for this movement! Thanks, Smalin! Btw; you inspired me to learn how to play Debussy 1st Arabesque (I can now play 6 bars... after 3 months...)! Thank you very much!

[naniyoussef]

thank you for this!

[Ibakecookiess]

missing some lyrics :(

[smalin]

@Ibakecookiess Do you mean where the lyrics repeat the same phrase over and over? In those places, I decided that the text was distracting. Or are your referring to where there are two sets of lyrics happening at the same time (I decided to keep it simple and just present the one that was changing the most, or newest)? Or something else?

[brunoedmac]

@smalin f.e. this one Beethoven: Sinfonie n. 9, Finale presto (2)

there were supposed to be trumpets from 4:00 to 4:30

or this one

Beethoven - Symphony No.9 (Ode to Joy) from Immortal Beloved

i don't hear them. But i know many conductors take some liberties, so maybe that's it

[brunoedmac]

why are there trumpets beginning at 10:45? I don't hear them in any other version

[smalin]

@brunoedmac I don't know why you can't hear them in other versions; they're in the score.

[Eamesam]

What is the instrument which represents the silvery odd-shape at the top of the screen near the end?

[smalin]

@Eamesam See "Show more" ...

[Mrgrosso]

La Perfección expresada en melodía

[Zoidberg227]

Great, as usual, Smalin. One of the things I love about your work is that it brings out subtleties in the music that I might have not otherwise noticed. These are things that, if missing, would mean the piece wouldn't sound right, but even a reasonably trained ear might not pick up their presence. This is particularly enlightening in a piece like this, since it's so dynamic and complex, and filled with those little subtleties.

Thanks for posting this up!
