Dear Mr. Laycock,

I love your interpretation of the Funeral March. I've been listening along with a score and I just weep inside over it. I did not notice the intended tempo marking, but I love your attention to every single musical moment. Each gesture is filled with honour. When the cellos have the "esspressivo decres." (2:17) and then sustains into the chord on "sf" in the upper strings it is complete sorrow.

thinking to myself: who can't hear the line (at 7:03 on)

Thank you!

@plyboard9 Thank you for your heartfelt comments, I am very touched to know this music has reached you so deeply. Sincerely, Mark Laycock

Does that sound like a funeral march to you Mr. Laycock? I doesn't to me... If Beethoven's metronome marking was respected it would make more sense. Eight note=80 not 50. That way the string triplets would actually sound like the drums do in a funeral march.

[marlamuse]

3a) My recollection is that the tempo of that cortege, like the tempo to the funeral march of the Mahler Fifth Symphony (which we would not have without the March Funebre of the "Eroica" Symphony), and the emotion that accompanied that tempo was more appropriate to a marking of 50 rather than 80.

[marlamuse]

4) Imagine for a moment Gounod's Funeral March for a Marionette: at 50 it becomes absurd as the depth of the music does not permit such a slow tempo; however, the greatness of Beethoven's March Funebre allows it to be examined from many different angles and viewpoints.

[marlamuse]

5) So to answer your question: yes it does. However, if my interpretation does not sit right with you, I respect that and I know that there are many other interpretations of the work that you will find to be more satisfying. That's one of the many beautiful and glorious aspects of the great art we have to treasure, and through which we have the opportunity to be moved, enlightened, edified and confirmed. With all best wishes, Mark Laycock

@violinista53 I'll take it you are a professional violinist? I agree that after you have been playing for 17 years you are qualified to critique yourself. Can a first year student objectively evaluate themselves? I think that sometimes outside perspective is important. Perhaps Beethoven would not have progressed through the "simple is beautiful" stage of his composition if it were not for critics. I have been playing for 17 years as well and "you sound like crap" was an affectation.

[violinista53]

@toogoodbw You fancy yourself a music critic? You're quite full of yourself. After 17 years I think I might have an idea what sounds good and what doesn't. If I feel the need I can record myself (the only objective "critic"). But that's not always necessary, because we are harsher on ourselves than you frankly could ever be. Anyone can say "You sound like crap"; it requires no actual thinking.

Sorry to everyone else for having to get my hands dirty there. This is a lovely video.

A very interesting and genuine approach to this overly used and trivialised masterpiece. Thank you for the beautiful moment. I am glad you didnt perform it the same way we already heard a houndred times. After all the instruments are not "original" either, its called evolution and L.v.B. would have liked it.

Uma beleza de paixão e eloquência de um momento único funebre que se tem de adorar e sentir com toda a emoção até as lagrimas .

Uma interpretação sublime e apaixonantemente bela

@michaelchewitt without critics professional musicians would sound like crap. So let people tell musicians they sound like crap so that way they'll stay sharp and sound good.
