What are you listening to now?

[Bonn1827]

Schubert is fabulous but I just wish we didn't have to listen to the "Trout" Quintet over and over again on radio!! Yes, his symphonies seem little influenced by the later works of Beethoven - I'd never thought of that. The 9th is good, but very repetitious - I forgive you Franz Peter!!

Listening to Bach B Minor Mass.

[Peter]

Haydn's delightful piano concerto in D.

[Roehre]

I really hate using this term, but the 5th sounds so Mozartean. I love it (I love all of them).

He wrote the 5th as though Beethoven never lived....

Though the style is obviously different, but Schubert 5 because of its orchestration could be a mozartian symphony.

You have a wonderful listening list, Roehre! I caught the 2nd movement (on the radio) of Beethoven's Quartet No. 7. Anyone know if the themes here are based on folk tunes?

I caught the 2nd movement (on the radio) of Beethoven's Quartet No. 7. Anyone know if the themes here are based on folk tunes?

The main theme of the last movement of No. 7 is based on a Russian folk tune and so is the trio section of the scherzo of No. 8. Nobody has been able to identify a folk tune in No. 9 (the third of the Razumovskys) but the second movement has a sort of wild Russian melancholy about it.

And the melodies used by Beethoven were used by Mussorgsky in the coronation scene of his opera Boris Godunov as well, in the late 1860s.

Interesting....I suppose this includes the one in the second movement of the 7th? It does sound distinctly familiar. (Love Boris Godunov, by the way!)
