      3 trombones are so loud on their own that I can't imagine anyone doubling them for a greater effect. It would overshadow everything, you wouldn't hear the rest of the orchestra.

    You know that it is an amazing section when you can hear the overtone series of the chord, and their tuning adds the "missing" voices on top of the chord. Like at 0:29... You can hear a high C even though it isn't being played.

    They sound great. Especially the Chord at 10. Incredibly blended.
    The problems that you are hearing with the tuning are actually because they are slightly out of balance making them sound out of tune. Its because the 2nd trombone is playing too loud in the chords at 13 seconds and 31 seconds. If the 3rd of the chord is played too loudly, it will sound out of tune. The Root and the fifth have to be played slightly louder then the third for it to ring in tune.

      I’m glad you mentioned the 2nd too loud in some parts, also he was a bit flat, just a touch.just after 30 seconds seems like he’s searching a bit. All in all, at 10 sec it’s incredible.

    After looking it up, there is no crescendo or dimuendo in the parts, so I guess there isn't anything wrong with they way they played it.

  • @stephenfennell
    @stephenfennell 6 років тому +1

    I really wish I could work out the harmony of this passage. I've never been good at harmony. I can't visualise the individual parts. I can write down the top part, and with quite an effort I can often write down some of the bass, but the middle parts are a mystery to me. If the chords are simple and pedestrian I can guess "That chord must be a minor based on the supertonic, or a dominant or whatever". But this Bruckner passage seems to me far, far, far out of the reach of my childishly simple grasp of harmony. It seems outstandingly rich and inventive. The parts seem to keep moving into unexpected places that nonetheless make perfect sense. I can't take it in.
    This opening of the Finale of his 8th symphony has always transfixed me since I first heard it in my mid-teens.

    Honest question, not trying to be a music critic, but here goes:
    Isn't the last sustained note of the first two sections supposed to decrescendo (or dimuendo)? I was just comparing it to the chicago low brass section doing this, and they decrescendo those last sustained notes. Wouldn't that fit better with what the orchestra is doing at those spots?
    I suppose if it's not specified in the parts than I'm not too concerned, since it would just merely be a matter of interpretation.
