A movie starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken about the drama between string quartet members as they tackle Beethoven's monumental opus 131 string quartet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcfNpaMxlP0 The opus 131 string quartet has seven linked movements. Well after Beethoven's time some people got the idea of transcribing the late quartets for string orchestra. Here's movements 6 + 7 of the string orchestra version. Leonard Bernstein said this was the recording of which he was most proud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmyoO3O8Wng

Hector Beerlioz posted:Beethoven was a student of Haydn and paid another kid to do his homework for him Beethoven and Haydn had a minor falling out over the publication of Beethoven's Opus 1 piano trios -- his first major publication in Vienna. Haydn thought people might not be ready for the C minor piano trio in the set. Beethoven thought Haydn was just jealous. A couple of months I ago did catch on the radio the final movement of that trio. Haydn was quite right to sense something radical in this music. I think it heralds the musical voice Beethoven was to return to again and again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ahACSVJotU

I'm also into Bach. Here's "Es ist vollbracht" from the St. John Passion, but English version. Jesus's last words on the cross (it is accomplished or it is fulfilled). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuzYE3E0Nfk

I learned about this moment of music from Robert Greenberg's How to Listen to and Understand Great Music, 3rd edition. It's 30+ hours long college level course on classical music. Even though he says at the beginning it's not an "appreciation" course it's both an appreciation course and something deeper than that, because it does get fairly technical at times while remaining mostly accessible. It's on Audible but there's a bit more expensive video version on the Great Courses website. Anyway, Bach wrote the so called "Brandenburg" concertos to audition for some noble as a court composer. The first movement of the 5th work in the set (of six) contains an extended harpsichord solo at the end that's mind boggling. It occurs at 6:33: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK6-x9sdEYo

Beethoven is obviously the best composer but Schumann's piano quintet is something special. He lost the ability to play the piano because of issues with his hand so married a virtuoso pianist and composed this for her. Liszt was supposedly begging Schumann to play this but old Rob insisted on his wife Clara playing it. It was also around this time that composers started to realise they could put on their own concerts with just their own music, without any aristocrats involved, so Schumann saw this as an opportunity to really promote Clara and write music for her to show off her technical musicianship with. On the actual musical side of things, the entire piece plays on expectations of the key, with chromatic notes, cadences, pedals, disguised keys and changes of key, despite never really straying too far from the home key. People like to jizz over the Allegretto from Beethoven's 7th, but I think the second movement of Schumann's piano quintet is at least just as good. But it's the final movement which really ties it all together, a perfect example of the mixture of genius and unity that nineteenth century composers sought. The movement drives through over a dozen key changes, each change signifies a statement or re-statement of a theme, then instead of the expected recapitulation in the home key of the movement, it's actually a semi-tone higher. And then instead of the coda ending, boom, you've got a fugue, a rondo, retrograde and inverted versions of previous themes, and if that isn't enough, the main theme from the first and last movements form the final fugue to coda the entire piece. I loving love that piano quintet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU97k1_K3SE&t=53s
