Concerto Music

Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4, 1st Movement - One of Beethoven's best work. It is one of the best concertos even though it was not composed to the ideal flow that the soloist and the orchestra, alternate episodes of opposition, cooperation, and independence.

Vivaldi Flute Concerto in G Minor - Simple but beautiful flute concerto, even though it is just solo flute with accompaniment of an orchestra. I was looking for a horn concerto but came across this one.

Haydn Trumpet Concerto, 3rd Movement - The music is a perfect demonstration of Haydn's sophisticatedly gentle, clear, and smooth style. The solo trumpet almost runs throguh the entire movement with just a little bit of decoration of orchestra.

回复林贝卡的评论:

这首曲子包含着很多贝多芬的音乐特点和内容. 但我觉得它更多地表现了一种清新愉悦, 充满梦幻的境界, 同时全段音乐又在亲切和谐的气氛中行进. 还有一些非常奇妙的音乐变换是贝多芬其他音乐不多见的. 从中我们处处感受到大师超人的音乐创造力.

我想贝多芬第五协奏曲要比这首第四协奏曲更有名, 但我更喜欢着首.

秀山，

感谢你的分享和推荐，我尤其喜欢[Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4, 1st Movement]，我还去[Wikipedia]上查询了钢琴演奏家Krystian Zimerman，指挥家Leonard Bernstein，和乐队Wiener Philharmoniker的相关介绍呢。

**************

Krystian Zimerman (born December 5, 1956) is a Polish classical pianist who is widely regarded as one of the finest living pianists.

Leonard Bernstein ( August 25, 1918 – October 14, 1990) was an American conductor, composer, author, music lecturer and pianist. He was among the first conductors born and educated in the United States of America to receive worldwide acclaim. According to The New York Times, he was "one of the most prodigiously talented and successful musicians in American history." In addition, he was a skilled pianist,often conducting while performing piano concertos simultaneously. As a composer he was prolific, writing symphonies, ballet music, operas, chamber music, pieces for the piano, other orchestral and choral works, and other concert and incidental music, but the tremendous success of West Side Story remained unequaled by his other compositions.

The Vienna Philharmonic (in German: Wiener Philharmoniker) is an orchestra in Austria, regularly considered one of the finest in the world.Its home base is the Musikverein. The members of the orchestra are chosen from the Orchestra of the Vienna State Opera. This process is a long one, with each musician having to prove his or her capability for a minimum of three years' playing for the Opera and Ballet. Once this is achieved the musician can then ask the Board of the Wiener Philharmoniker to consider an application for a position in the Vienna Philharmonic.
