    0:00. Allegro. This phrase carries the metric, quarter note=108 bpm. As time signature, Hindemith uses 1/2 bars. The emphasis is always on the first blow. The sentence extends over 165 bars and thus less than four minutes. Carl Maria von Weber describes his piano piece as Alla Zingara (to play after Gypsy style), so it should be played spirited, which Hindemith further enhances by his editing, where he parodies the metrical subordination in Weber's original by asymmetric displacements.
    4:24. Scherzo (Turandot). Moderato - Lively: Here are the indications half note = 132 bpm and from the tempo mark Lively (bar 28 ff.) half note = 96 bpm. First, the Turandot Scherzo begins in 4/4 and then changes to the 4/4-metric. This movement is the longest of the metamorphosis and lasts with 304 bars, depending on the interpretation, around the nine minutes. The simple theme with "limited melodic structure" (V. S. Fomin) is played again and again in different variations. In the middle section, a fugato, a syncopated-rhythmic shift appears, reminiscent of a jazz sequence. Hindemith rearranges musical motifs, bars and even individual notes so that the melody always remains recognizable, but the actually pseudo-Chinese ambience acquires a completely new and surprising character.
    12:27. Andantino. The Andantino is a slow movement. The value for the eighth note is 126 to 132 bpm, the composer chose a slightly danceable 6/8 measure here. This movement is the shortest of the work, it covers only 28 bars and thus takes under four minutes. This sentence is one of the few examples in Hindemith's music in which a lyrical character (in romantic folk tone) appears.
    16:45. Marsch. The well-known march, which, at Carl Maria von Weber can still be regarded as a romantic funeral march, is played "faster, slacker, more ironic and sharper" (Hindemith) in Hindemith's Metamorphosis. It no longer has the somber character of a funeral procession. The value for the half note is therefore 80 bpm with the march-typical 2/2-measure (in german military jargon: links, zwo - links, zwo!). He has 139 bars and ends after nearly five minutes. This partly pompous march, which at the same time also contains impetuous and scherzo-like elements, culminates in a brilliant finale of the Metamorphosis (after Fomin, preface to the Symphonic Metamorphosis).

    Wonderful performance of an unusual work! The title must be one of the longest of ANY Orchestral piece! I played flute in it when I was at Music College many years ago and so this brought back (mainly) happy memories. As we were aged from 15 to 22 we were nowhere as good as these expert professionals. I always loved Hindemith as I was a piano-accompanist and he wrote a sonata for every instrument - and a concerto for all, too (almost!) His organ works are amazing though difficult to play (and listen to!) It seems Hindemith learned to play almost every instrument too and he 'understood' the physics of sound, vibrations and tuning. I'm told every single piece he wrote ends with a major chord to ensure 'peace'!

Coming back to it after many decades, I'm impressed by the detail in this well recorded performance, making me realise that my 1969 Abbado/LSO LP and record player simply couldn't possibly deliver what modern equipment can. There is so much going on for the listener to to take in - it certainly merits several listenings.

    Part of a deep emotional experience is its assimilation after completion. Applause inhibits this process. A concert is not a circus. The performance of the SWR orchestra merits a profound silence as a tribute of admiration.

    • @darkprose
      @darkprose 6 років тому +3

      I feel the same way, but not in pieces like this. But clapping immediately in the silence following, say, the Sixth Symphonies of Tchaikovsky or Mahler, or _Tristan und Isolde,_ when the silence after the final chord is like crystal, then I dislike it when people feel the genuine but self-centered need to break that crystal the moment it forms. Sometimes the only response is silence and awe. It may not be the time for vocal self-expression, even if given in sincere gratitude.

      Then the best venue of music listening is home, for gentlemen like you. It's true that a concert is not a circus, but it is a bi-directional social experience, in which the audience have a chance to provide feedbacks to the artists in ways they desire.

      @gotzpahl6302 6 років тому

      I disclaim any allegation of being a gentleman. Those who know me will readily attest to this flaw in my character. The showing of emotion should always respect the Other. This holds true even in a circus and commenting someone's opinion.

    • @klascom1
      @klascom1 6 років тому +1

      This is only true in so much as applause has been affected by the ability to record sound. Before the advent and rise of recorded music, it was rare that pieces were even played in full. Typically directors would pick and choose individual movements from larger works as a sort of sampler (excluding world premiers, or course), and each individual movement was met with applause at the end. So there could be a case for a piece like this where Hindemith was alive and composing in the era of recorded sound, but Beethoven? People clapped.
      Either way, I think it a bit of a fool's errand to try and define in any certain terms precisely how one should appreciate one's art. Especially in music, where every experience is a turbulent mixture of intent from the composer, intent from the performer(s,) and the experiences of the listener, you will never get the same reaction twice. Granted, if everyone collectively agreed upon a set of norms to be conducted in the concert hall to the perceived benefit of all attending, that's a matter all unto its own. But I don't question the appreciation of the exuberant applauder any more than that of the quiet contemplater. Goodness knows I've been guilty of being either at some point.

    • @gotzpahl6302
      @gotzpahl6302 6 років тому +1

      Simultaneous exuberant applause and quiet contemplation, in a shared concert situation, is a physical impossibility, unless the contemplators are deaf, in which case they would most probably not attend the concert performance.

    Dieses Orchester klingt unter Teodor Currentzis wie das beste Orchester der Welt. Unter anderen Dirigenten klingt - und wirkt - es wie ein braves deutsches Orchester, korrekt, immer wieder unsauber intoniert und grob, und vor allem uninspiriert. Nicht nur Currentzis ist großartig sondern die anderen Dirigenten machen ihn so besonders!

      The editing is extremely jarring. I made another similar comment on one of the more recent uploads of a Beethoven symphony where the first notes of the piece are nearly incomplete and can't be heard properly due to the startup buffering process. This is the only classical channel that features this kind of poor editing..
