It is because the Polish Ox Cart is a moving thing. At first it is far away, then it gets closer and louder, then it is at the peak when it passes right in front of you, then it gets further and further away, the sound is softer until it fades into nothingness. An excellent example of programmatic music, music that genuinely moves, both literally and metaphorically.

Einleitung: Titel und Komponist: "Bydło" aus "Bilder einer Ausstellung" von Modest Mussorgsky Kurzer historischer Kontext: 1874 komponiert, inspiriert von Viktor Hartmanns Gemälden. Hauptthema: Darstellung eines schweren Ochsenkarrens. Hauptteil: Struktur und Form: Ein Satz, der kontinuierlich die Schwere und das Voranschreiten des Karrens darstellt. Melodie, Harmonie und Rhythmus: Schwere, langsame Melodie mit tiefen Harmonien und einem gleichmäßigen, pochenden Rhythmus, der das langsame, schwere Vorankommen des Karrens symbolisiert. Klangfarbe und Instrumentierung: Dunkle, kräftige Klangfarben, oft durch tiefe Blechbläser und Streicher erzeugt. Emotionale Wirkung: Gefühl von Schwere, Mühe und Beharrlichkeit. Technische Aspekte: Nutzung tiefer Register und dynamischer Kontraste, um die wuchtige Bewegung des Karrens zu verdeutlichen. Schluss: Zusammenfassung: "Bydło" nutzt eine schwere Melodie und tiefe Klangfarben, um das Bild eines langsamen, schwer beladenen Ochsenkarrens zu vermitteln. Persönliche Reflexionen: Erzeugt ein starkes Bild von harter körperlicher Arbeit und dem beständigen Vorwärtskommen trotz der Last. Bedeutung: Ein Beispiel für Mussorgskys Fähigkeit, durch Musik lebendige, greifbare Szenen zu erschaffen, die den Zuhörer in eine andere Welt versetzen.
Karajan bragged about recording these in only one take. The audio engineers recorded every second of the rehearsals and never told the Maestro that they cut and spliced more than a few bad Brass players entrances out. This may look easy, I play Viola, it's not easy.
When I first watched this video, I thought that Karajan's (conductor) style was bland and had no expression. Then, I listened to Bydlo many times through, and realized that my assumption was hugely mistaken. The purpose of this piece is not meant to be extremely robust or startling, but rather to retain its solemnity even in its most powerful moments. It's truly a sad piece, but also marvelous. After this realization, I genuinely do not think that any person on earth could have conducted this in a better manner. He acknowledges the that the purpose of Bydlo was to be extremely serious and solemn, and he expressed it perfectly.
Mistrzowska realizacja (dźwięk, obraz, nastrój). Karajan jest uznanym dyrygentem symfonii Ludwiga van Beethovena oraz właśnie "Obrazków z wystawy" Modesta Mussorgskiego. Powyższy fragment "Bydlo" niesie w sobie echa marszu żołnierzy w czasie II wojny światowej. Groza, duma, ponure nastroje epoki. Niemiecka atmosfera w nieniemieckiej kompozycji. Słyszałem jeszcze lepsze wykonanie na starej płycie gramofonowej, choć to też jest poruszające.
"...Wśród artystów, których przybił smutny widok skutych kajdanami skazańców, był Modest Musorgski, który w swoich Obrazkach z wystawy zawarł utwór Bydło. Choć nie mógł tego napisać oficjalnie i choć większość encyklopedii twierdzi, że zainteresował go widok wołów na polu - to w partyturze napisał, że to właśnie karawany polskich zesłańców, gnanych przez Syberię jak bydło, zainspirowały go do stworzenia tego poruszającego muzycznego obrazu..." [wnet.fm/kurier/kilkadziesiat-tysiecy-powstancow-styczniowych-jest-nieznanych-80-ich-potomkow-nie-wie-ze-ich-przodek-byl-bohaterem/] - podaję tylko jedno źródło, jako przykład... Tak, że porównanie z niemieckimi kolumnami trochę... nietrafione... Przy okazji - strasznie nie podoba mi się takie wykonanie, jak to, zrobione przez Karajana... W ogóle nie zrozumiał tego utworu. No, ale to moje prywatne zdanie...
Вот оно!!! То самое! Все моменты, все акценты пойманы! Только суть, приближение издалека, на холм, проезд этой махины мимо тебя, когда аж волосы дыбом от мощи, и удаление, всё такое же безмолвное...
Alright so I know audio recordings of this preformance are widely available for audio purchase/on youtube but does anyone know where I can find the full /video/ like this? Even if it costs some money, I'd love to buy it!
Idk why. It's clearly an F tuba, too big to be a Euphonium but too small to be an Eb tuba or larger. Also, the positioning of the piston valves being on the front.
@@MuescoreMaestro What makes you say it's an F tuba? He's using Bb fingerings. I'm assuming it's a tenor tuba that slightly predates the popularity of the F tuba for performing this solo.
At the same time, though, it is front action, which tubas usually are. Also, tubas usually have a slightly more cylindrical bell than euphs. I'd guess that he's playing this on some kind of Bb tenor tuba.
It was a dance of masks and every mask was perfect because every mask was a real face and every face was a real mask so there was no mask and there was no face for there was but one dance in which there was but one mask but one true face which was the same and which was a thing without a name which changed and changed into itself over and over.

Amazing, supreme demonstration of human capability to create emotions through musical notes
My favourite piece of music. The power and labour of the passing train is almost palpable.
“Almost?”-It hit me like a truck! Ok, not quite but, it’s a personal favourite of mine too 😁.
This is the most majestic piece of music ever written.
Mussorgsky had a most beautiful way of involving Neapolitan 6th chords! 💙
The best possible music depiction of despair of human existence.
Actually a Polish Ox Cart, but yes, human despair is a good candidate too.

Not sure how you get this tune from looking at a painting of cattle, but I'm happy Mussorgsky wrote it

lol playing this with only strings is so different
also, having to play pizzicato on the g string most of the time in here *sigh*
Twoset it was kept me sane when I did it
what was the solo instrument in this?
tuba
low bass tuba
It sounds too bright to be a tuba. It looks like a euphonium, which is the other solo instrument of choice.
At the same time, though, it is front action, which tubas usually are. Also, tubas usually have a slightly more cylindrical bell than euphs. I'd guess that he's playing this on some kind of Bb tenor tuba.
It's a "bass" tuba, instead of the more commonly seen "contrabass" tuba.
"Sempre moderato, pesante".
This is waaaay too fast

NOt a Tuba Euphonium
