@@user-mu9wt3zd7c 1Q84 is the title of a novel by Haruki Murakami. One of the main characters hears this symphony playing in a taxi right at the beginning of the book.
Is everybody here because of the book. I am, I have just started reading it and I’m sorry to say I had never heard of Janacek before, always good to learn something new.
Just started reading this book 10 minutes ago and never having heard this music I just had to come to UA-cam. Let me know how you get on with the book!!!
Two things: (1) Janacek is a great example of a late bloomer. A lot of his best stuff was written late in his life. (I'm 65, and his music gives me hope.) (2) What book are you referring to? If it's mentioned in the comments above, I missed it.
Bit surealistic feeling, beeing from Janáčeks town, to seen how huge influence he had even that farr as in Japan. For me Janaček is like neigbor, my family is from streats surroundig his house and school, and there are people all around the world from diferend cultures knowing his work and admiring his work.
Not familiarized with the artist, I came here due to 1Q84 but honestly I have to say I actually find the music compelling. I really enjoy modern day composers. Sort of reminds me of the music from Clockwork Orange, strangely. I also feel it would have an apt place in Cloud Atlas. It just has that 'post modern' feel.
Funny thought about Cloud Atlas, because I honestly think that the Wachowski sisters are capable of doing a great movie out of 1Q84 books ... same atmosphere, playing with time & space...
+Cosmic Sans Murakami's editor really shit the bed with that book. It was a good story but no fucking way should it have been 1000+ pages long. I was sick of Tengo going to that fucking slide after the 2nd time. Wind up bird chronicle makes IQ84 look like shit.
"That people read Murakami's books is often as a taste guide, a list of works that a worldly, urban sophisticate should know." A paraphrase of a comment on Neomarxisme.
I can't hear that opening fanfare without seeing in my mind mastodons striding across the steppes with mountains in the background. And return of that fanfare at the end is to me one of the most majestic and thrilling moments in all Western classical music.
Tengo is truly giftet with the talent of music. Despite the lack of experience, he played this piece as a timpanist in a national high school wind orchestra competition. Just amazing.
This was the music they played (with a live orchestra) at my college graduation. It was so perfect for that occasion, and makes for a lovely memory. Really gorgeous stuff.
I can now understand, upon following the score, why this work is played less often than it merits. It is fiendishly difficult, with instruments being pushed to their limits.The rhythms are difficult, and with all the high-pitched notes, the intonation becomes a monstrosity.
I've never heard of Murakami and still haven't a clue what it is. I guess I'll have to check it out sometime. I'm here because this has been one of my absolute favorite symphonic pieces since I heard it as a child. Bits of it were used to brilliant effect in the 1979 film, "The Haunting of M", a classic ghost story. But the film is virtually impossible to find now.
Haruki Murakami is a Japanese writer.He mentions a lot a musical peices in his works.This particular peice was mentioned in one of his most famous works called 1Q84.
This is one of those pieces that blew me away first time I heard it, and has improved with subsequent hearings. What I love, apart from the fabulous music, is how Janacek pushes instruments to the extremes of their registers. This is a really great performance; the ending is thrilling!
Btw on end there is "Sokolská fanfára" which was something like "anthem" of Czechoslovakian group Sokol (falkon in english) which started in Czech part of Austria-Hungary to support Czech national proudness in young people
I love this piece of music. It's on my "desert island" playlist. I think it's one of the most thrilling compositions of the 20thC, and, really, ever. And, this is a filigreed recording -- it's all about the "brass" and winds. And I think about the city of Brno, the capital of Moravia. Thanks for posting it, with the score too!
Efectivamente, aquí andamos unos cuantos por culpa de Murakami. Con esta cuarentena espero terminar los libros en nada de tiempo, jeje. Abrazo virtual también para todos!
@Luna sea - this is a reference to the song Knife Edge by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, a rock band influenced by classical music. They built the riff in Knife Edge around the opening bars of Sinfonietta.
I am here because of Murakami, but...ALSO there is this - I have been to Prague many times, it is one of my favorite cities in the world, and only recently I found out what the youth organization "Sokol" was (that this piece was written for), as I accidentally passed by a modern-day bar that is themed after the times and ideals of the "Sokol", and well, what it and it's followers have transformed into today, would fit into Murakami's world in a way...

And now I can imagine her journey through the city streets of Tokyo.
Literally just looked this up because I'm reading 1Q84 right now.

Hello, E-flat clarinet and piccolo duet right before the climax...
This is one of the great pieces of music from the modern era! An unforgettable and haunting experience!
This is still easy compared to other works of Janáček.
Also, the problem is that it calls for extra orchestral forces. If I'm not mistaken, there are nine trumpet parts written.
I first learned piece in college. It blew me away then and continues to do so 30 years later!!! Bravo!!

Janáček!!! Studuji Janáčkovu konzervatoř a Janáčkova hudba, ikdyz patří do hudební moderny tak je nádherná.
Je mi blízká, úplně nesrovnatelna např se Stravinského svěcením jara, které už je na poslech horší, narozdíl od Janockovych děl.

One of my favourites… exciting, full of vitality … a live performance is staggering … I first saw it in 1980 and it’s stayed with me

Top composition .
