indian music involves a lot of improvisation it doesn't really have written a change melodies and rhythms are passed on from teachers to their students it's a rich tradition. of tabla. it is like that and that's the thing the game. and the audience has their hands in the air because they're celebrating the music it's all in spanish you have it for les paul in india it's. emissions. you can really tell this is the music of the people who seek sunlight to. alongside the top layers and the contact on to us is a drum set i'm a rebel and deceptive chimes the question brings them all together.

9:40 am
his message result clapping and the question like which could of course all belong together. the pace is picking up the guru is a demanding teacher the indian musicians still have an advantage but the germans are catching up. but. aside from learning new rhythms they're also learning the philosophy behind this music well. written you have to believe music we put a beautiful. we're going to music. i don't mean to be comes from you how. they decide to. move to mali it's also what they did to kony

9:43 am
to joe's view of the more. important shift. where google goog god is. your mo ma loses something big. it's a crash course for the german percussionist a lot of new information a background in a short space of time. but just one day with suresh g. has had a big impact on their playing. the german percussionist have come to this musical instrument shop to learn about the tabla the famous indian drum with a remarkable sound range i think yeah that in for the i think a high pitch that. this typical circular black eye on top is known as
9:44 am
a shiny it's made from a dried hard paste and it determines the tone and pitch of the tabla. state so it's. going to go the tension has to be adjusted precisely using the wooden sections between the body and the straps. ok sit down it's day 4 of the workshop and just the 2nd day with the guru but he's already won everyone knew for. the. record i think he. says. although there aren't any written notes numbers and letters can

help people learn this plenty of space to improvise within certain strict rules. a guest has come to visit virtuous or flute player brackish child us here he and composing a piece commissioned by george of venice that these musicians will have for the 1st time at the beethoven festival. or for me it's. because i've not done this before means in this for the 1st thing working with 3335 or 40 years of orchestra so it's a big thing for me and i'm open to do any kind of experiment in music because. music needs to be expanding day by day. they have to learn fast and they're all giving their best on the long stay of the workshop in india everything has to run
9:46 am
smoothly the next time they meet will be undone in a few months shortly before the concert i found. out that. they are going to be out of him from their 1st occurred definitely. as a very rapid teaching pace it's really hard for us to keep up sometimes. the challenge the ones i was but it's a lot of fun and we've been learning so much because it up here i. see. is the indian musicians have learned to. see. this baby these are not new but i think. their culture and our culture to blend it.
9:47 am
differently. difficult i don't think there was any of that anything difficult it was a small joining really had a great experience and i'm going to. be a photo for along. the next day. by. 5 months later on a late summer's day by the river rhine the indian musicians arrived in bonus few days ago. in addition to their daily rehearsals they want to experience the country everyone has stayed in touch since the workshop in mumbai. i think it's a very healthy mix we're like a family and we share this love of music regardless of which continent or from continents. and over i think all musicians meet friendships blossom straight away
9:48 am
to get along since it's. been rehearsing for 5 days on how to have a name to a piece commission for the beethoven festival. is a beautiful composition. i would say the highlight of this month that is the flute mr. and. kind of already was it out with us because the puzzle piece is great it's so intriguing the way these 2 worlds melt together so perfect. this month is has been a very special feast to all of us and it's the 1st time that we're performing at the beethoven festival so curious excited and looking forward to. the final rehearsal before their debut performance there are several other pieces written in mumbai that will be on the program tonight as well.
9:49 am

9:50 am
you can play any quieter doesn't make sense for you to play piano when everyone else is playing for 10 years we just need to thin you out a bit in fact the 15 post which i feel so awful once again i cannot call it becomes the common language to time each instrument and fiddles in. as a book that are. i'm pleased to konami to paste answer some of those off the arms and off yarns. because. 2 it's a premier in every sense of the word there's never been a bunch an indian bamboo flute in a symphony orchestra before. innovation and experimentation to chill composers are in good company in the fall from one form class to it was clear from the start what would beethoven do in this was maybe
9:51 am
not indian music but he would certainly try something new that he would do something no one's ever done before something that interests him that would if he were trying to push the boundaries so if he would have been here he would have loved it. but hopefully. the indian music and the west and classical has a very real blend to each other so that i think that's an innovation and in the music because i think it's not happened before at classical john or adding up into a symphony orchestra. has made its evening premier in the bomb congress center will be young musicians be up to the challenge to just one week of rehearsal next. to some it means fate and fate is the most show of the 2018 beethoven festival. ready
