Some real joy to celebrate with, not of the confected/commercialised Xmas type - Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" as a flashmob performed by Sabadell's orchestra.

Every time I watch this I see more details, and beauty, and I tear up 😢

As an ardent European, they played this at Isabel's Irish citizenship ceremony, and it simply melts me. We are better together 🇪🇺

My best moment: imo so many but - the walk-on of the 2nd violin section at 02:20 as it builds, the music sweetens, the joy of the woman captured then at 02:35.

Enjoy ...

#16dicembre 1770 nasce Ludwig van #Beethoven

Proponiamo un articolo della rivista #DeMusica dove, partendo da un dibattito su Music Analysis, Giovanni Lipardi rielabora l’idea di coerenza di Jonathan D. Kramer attraverso il concetto di #polifonia di Michail Bachtin. La Sonata op. 110 di Beethoven viene letta come un dialogo tra materiali e movimenti diversi, uniti non dall’uniformità ma da relazioni nel tempo.

(Edited to add Ai to a crackpot theory.)

Don't quote me on this, Alice, but I'm almost certain that snippet is from a bad Ai translation of German poet, playwright, and historian Friedrich Schiller's "Ode to Joy," employed by the immortal Ludwig von Beethoven in his Ninth Symphony.

Was mich immer wieder erstaunt: Es gibt jede Menge Frauen, die zu Lebzeiten berühmt waren, ganz Europa verehrte sie - und die meisten von uns kennen heute nicht einmal mehr ihre Namen. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist Emilie Mayer. Sie komponierte großartige Sinfonien und wurde mit Beethoven verglichen. Auch ihr Leben erzähle ich nach im Buch "Frauengeschichten". Hier ein kleiner Einblick.
