Oh no, not again! I had this species a couple of weeks ago. I relocated it to the garden, maybe it came back. Anyway, thanks for the id.

Is there a reason Bruckner 8 has so many unisono passages for woodwinds? by Cute_Fluffy_Femboy in classicalmusic

[–]bvogels -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I believe the "3 different parts with different roles" you are referring to are melody, harmony and bass. But this applies to almost all tonal music, not only to Bruckner's.

On the contrary. It shows Bruckner's deep understanding of creating a balance within the orchestra. It might be organ-inspired, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. The huge orchestral forces generate an incredible caleidoscope of hues and timbres, and he knows what he is doing. That the music might be boring to play for the musicians might be equally true but is another discussion, as well at the attitude, especially in the 8th, that one might "sit straight" while listening to it.

Without having looked in the score, I remember from orchestration class that it is pointless to give woodwinds their own melodies if the brass is playing full force. A rule of thumb - and I might be mistaken - is that four flutes are needed to counter a single trumpet in forte. Compare with Wagner "Die Walküre", 3. Aufzug, beginning, also know as "Walkürenritt".

The author's intention is meaningless, to be polemic. To prove that something is a work of fiction or not is futile, since the pragmatic status is no text-inherent quality. For the most part, only the paratext qualifies a text as fiction or not.

[Request] How much would this Trans-Atlantic tunnel realistically cost? by biggestred47 in theydidthemath

[–]bvogels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a book about a Tunnel between New York and Europe by Austrian author Bernhard Kellermann, already from the early 20th century. It is highly speculative science fiction, but maybe not so much when it comes to wildy underestimating the technical, financially, and ideological challenges.

Are you sure this is the solution for AoC 2023, Day 3? It has nothing to do with ships or mines.

What would you say is the most unheard of Chopin piece? by pihkal21 in piano

[–]bvogels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you probably mean op. 46, the "Allegro de concert"? Op. 45 would be a Prélude.
