at that it'll is disturbed thunder storm is the title of the 4th movement here brosnan percussion dominate the idea of program music music with a meaning a concept was born with the 6 it funny and quickly became an important jonna of romantic music. in his some funny fantastic from 830 hector barely owes chose the same instrumentation for the same movement as beethoven had done 20 years earlier. in richard strauss's monumental alpine symphony beethoven's instrumentation is still a mistake of lee the model for strauss is $915.00 program music. the idea of using sounds to create moods and associations with landscapes took over hollywood

with the introduction of sound in films movie soundtracks became a laboratory orchestrated. for. the air composers who had fled europe such as eric wolfgang korngold book beethoven's legacy to american films creating a new lasting stand was. music in the style of beethoven intensified the effects of a delicate landscapes and romantic love scenes. when you know like that head out. just like. the one that apparently are shot. and when the enemy approaches we can hear rolls of bunda korngold cannon balls can be heard from a. man. her. and

even the greatest modern day film composer makes clever use of beethoven formulas. in the star wars films the forces of good and body by prince's lair and look skywalker are played by woodwind instruments. evil with its imperial march is dominated by bras instruments coincidence. we are at one of the greatest music festivals in the world the tanglewood music festival in lenox massachusetts and one of their yearly highlights is film light where of course they play the music of the legendary john williams. the composer of jaws indiana jones jurassic park harry potter star wars and many many others has

influenced the film music industry of the last decade more than anyone else and one many oscars and grammys along the way. the typical john williams sound touches millions of fans around the world and me especially as a horn player. in

the movie go out i could not imagine a world without john williams and this is what we're talking about today a world without without beethoven it's also impossible to imagine moves so beethoven was the 1st composer to actually write program attic music in the 6 that for me he gave each each movement a title so that the listeners would know exactly what they were listening for yes the 6 entering is maybe in the normally to him that he thought he might have been making entertainment he said in an interview that you felt that beethoven was one of the greatest organizers of sound question your idea of organizing sound was instruments in this case into shapes and eventually into things that

will exchange emotions is hard to imagine like life without beethoven i had a conversation about the submitting with you was an elderly doctor friend of mine very for them and i said work. what is your answer to what would the world be like without beethoven and he said very quickly to me what would life be like if we'd never seen a rainbow. but how do you decide which incentives can be the one to portray princess leia a witch or an instrument it could be the one to make to make us care and is that something to have a a program you've worked out over the years there's a tradition in cedar and in films you have a villain you probably have in the old days you would have a diminished 7th chord played from blondel somewhere or there is an expectation in culturally of certain kind of things where the horn is. established as the hero we

like that. these connections. apply their historical their culture all the forms of structure within which you have some freedom you know in the 7th symphony in the 3rd movement . and then the trumpets among. a many of this.

and then it goes into the intervening i see a shark i see this shark i love you shark. and when i went for her terrifying shark and we've always wondered if that was the precursor to the jaws i think so yes i think i think they different had been swimming. the drama in beethoven's music has been an endless source of inspiration for film scores but his influence is also seen in the success of a somewhat on the remarkable invention. for some it's an instrument of torture for others an indispensable companion for rehearsing and performing the metronome providing the correct tempo at all times.

for her. or her. or her. 1818 beethoven caused another sensation in the music world he wrote an article praising the previously unknown invention by his friend johann nipple mcmath's the the metronome. since then life in music without a metronome has become hard to imagine. for . the fish. 6.

sure. sure sure sure. just me through norm is in good metronome is basically the click track tool that is embedded in the recording software nama soft and good boat is. as there is a musical grid so to speak and i knew as a conscious there's certain time signatures a certain tempo but the best time to talk to august of this temple. if i could start a record on i'd hear this for example good. last year here on would be a full. i flick trache mark apart from the fact that it delivers a very stable temple

a click track also works as a synchronous reference to and soon claim the difference if you are pop and there are many pop in rock music productions are done as multi-track recording all some of each instrument in a song is recorded one at a time guitarist it's one for example drums are often recorded 1st done in a week later a guitarist plays along and then in another studio a singer sings his lines as these separate tracks are held together by this click reference. beethoven published metronome markings for his symphonies and the like sick news that journal he left nothing to chance. before that composers had used italian tempo markings from largo slow to presto

fast but they were approximate markings thanks to metronome markings every conductor knows the precise tempo beethoven wanted for his symphonies. 2 pavo why do you think it was so important to beethoven to promote this new idea at the metronome it's like evolution you're like a fish coming out of the water and realizing we need feet you know and then they grow feet and then they started walking and so. i think that. probably that has something to do with it because all of a sudden the control goes from the hand of a composer into the hand of a stranger who has nothing to do with the creation of the piece and this whole recreated process that interpret him process was born.

powerful yeah it's one of the world's top conductors and he is a great fan of beethoven's metro markings. he published the metronome markings probably because he wanted to make sure that people are in the right area of tempi and of course. so much controversy. is to this day there are these these natural markings and and the main problem really is that they are very fast a lot of them are much faster than the traditional beethoven interpretation that i know now are comfortable. and in a way i think that that's exactly why he published them because because he sort of

could foresee that things would get slower more romantic you know there is a there is a kind of a slowing down the ground ness the wagner effect if you were. the metronome which beethoven so appreciated makes it possible to set the same tempo any time and anywhere. since 895 a german company has been producing meltzer's metronomes and selling them all over the world they are based in the well hidden it is week town of is neat. in calgary in south germany there is the most famous metro manufacturer in the whole world victor metronomes i never thought i could get so excited about metronomes but look at this one. metronomes are

high tech. before a model is sold it has to pass and endure and stress test. battlezone . i think over and wrote that is metronome was sick how can a metronome be thick concrete and. almost well you have to bear in mind that the state of technology and those days were just the metronome is a highly precise mechanical device they had the slightest deviation by in terms of dimensions we're talking about a weight discrepancy of one or 2 grams that would cause a different matter and i speak.

we conveniently as post facto sort of speak we can say well you know he was deaf and his natural i was broken and there is even some kind of a story somewhere in the letter where it says that the better known was not functioning correctly i mean i think it's all nonsense i mean press one was deaf he wasn't stupid. beethoven's insistent on exact tempos set standards with his special feeling for rhythm he inspired a completely different genre nong after his time. later in his life beethoven moved further and further away from what his listener. as

expected to hear some critics even considered him crazy syncopations piano cascades what sounds like a jazz piece from an american bar around 1920 is actually beethoven's last piano sonata opus 111 composed almost 100 years earlier. it seems like he shortens the notes as he goes along to create is the sort of jazzy effect yeah i think he paid programs in this this natural momentum so you each variation. against more notes per b. whereas the the meter itself doesn't change. with the board had he tried everything else beethoven wrote a set of variations in this piano sonata he varied not only the melody in the

harmonies as others had done before him he varied the rhythm. this piece remains a challenge for every pianist it's really unique because beethoven what the way he writes it with these with these following passages they would be really swings naturally and he creates this one i mean he really writes it in there and to go along with it you have some some blues now at some some blues tones and it's really brilliant what he does. in 822 you can only imagine how confused the music critics were. would it sound like if you played it more and more classical more more like it's exactly written is it even possible that the speed of.

the cars an engineer does it takes the fun out of it. for a long time this is a nod to was considered unplayable because of its tempo about a century later musicians on a different continent discovered how much fun playing syncopation at high speed could be just.

just little things about movie trumpington been here at the absolute temple of jazz the house of jazz in new york city and who better to speak to about this but. wynton marsalis is one of the most famous trumpet players in the world he's a 19 grammys and he is the artistic director of the house of jazz at lincoln center .

was something people have credited beethoven with and there's this palace and after his very last found it's not a 100 number 211 and people say it was stravinsky that came up with the quote it was a pretty echo of boogie woogie because of the snappy bass lines and and and the syncopation in there what would you say as a master of jazz i think that is just a dot is 16 rhythm. the kind of just most of it is the ground rhythm that does not change so even pass a car using those kind of forms where the bass repeats and the challenge of playing boogie woogie is maintained to be dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby doo long span. the challenge of strat in jazz styles is can you keep their left hand in strict march time and play these figures on the top.

so you have a dotted 60 no rhythm is really people are hearing that today and saying oh that must that what it what it was but it it's a big credit to beethoven that something he did then people are still analyzing you know being to do so much more than that it doesn't reduction of him. i feel a just beethoven's modernity like to the person in the 20th century who most resembles beethoven as louis on show bill who is on strong actually gave you a sense of what it meant to be modern it would have meant to be free beethoven in terms of him as a in relation to jazz just his freedom him in improvisation course we don't recall as him but every account of his playing is what he could do was go from really thunderous bombastic virtuosic playing to the most tender beautiful. melodic and also how you traversed an abyss written down when he just stood just to go on with

it you just go with it feel the piano player you don't want to see a parade down you find rhythm all over beethoven's music and you think of the beatles' music he understands the 3 and the environment of 2 which is which comes from african music which he probably got it from through through middle eastern music what they would call turkish music or so is when you when you're in a 2 rhythm don't don't don't don't don't you put 3 on top of thing to digging tick tick tick tick tick ding ding ding ding ding if you listen to a 3rd symphony does that sort of syncopated awful i just. don't have as. far as i have looked into. so you in 3 but he's grouping on the notes into. this is this is i cannot alter syncopation what i love about it is that he's using it as a sick patient for the same reason we use syncopation if i'm giving you

a time and your body has the expectations of his time and i'm plan what you would time so in in this string quartet that i love f. major or was $135.00 is a movement in 3 it's fair survived to put it. did you put it to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb. beethoven's rhythms are also a challenge for the army to quartet from germany. did

it did to tick tick tick. tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick rocksteady talking to each other. we didn't like that. and i love the. taste of and also played around with the rhythm in his last string quartets in the 2nd movement he hides the 1st speech at the bar which would usually be the most important beat in european music. so what's the difficulty of playing this vivace for you is it playing against each other you start but not on the one you're on the 3 what's so hard about that.

well basically it's like playing contemporary music everyone has got his patent and has to stick to it and yet as a group we still have to feel a common pulse otherwise we'd lose ourselves because it actually goes against our natural need for structure to stick to a pattern which is actually against the beat and the king intact then why did you take this apart slowly and play it for me so that i can see where the 3 years and where the one is. i. hear you found each other on the one finally can you play it again fast the way it should be. so he's as like a football player jukes you or does some kind of fake soccer player will do they'll be playing make you think they're going this way and you do it he's doing it with

the rhythm. it's incredible how much beethoven has shaped our music world whether in jazz film scores or rock music his innovations and ideas are everywhere. a world without beethoven an imaginable.

a world without beethoven is actually know what well everyone we've spoken to no one can imagine it i don't know i mean there's a lot in the world always think about any person whatever they did you can take it out the world of the world 5 i mean you can do a lot of people never heard of the 2 you know in the in their lives are not bad. global food waste guinn's lady elite after the harvest. of fresh fruit exhausted in the in the garbage instead of the supermarket. that should change with appeal in the liquid that increases the shelf life of food. is this the way to avoid waste global 3000. and 30 minutes on
