I think it was Leonard Bernstein who said “Copland took American music out of the woods.”

@@samdajellybeenie14 I also believe Bernstein really wrote some amazing “American” music as well

How about Dvorák? Yeah, he is czech. But he wrote 9th symphony for the America.

@@ImJumber true however it was written as an attempt to get American composers to develope their own national music, so it doesn't really sound American to me. Very carpathian

@@jerichogonzales1290 sure👍

That's business. Don't fret.

@@ethanhill9460 yes fret. I understand that YT is a business, but there's no need to INTERRUPT a video. That's just annoying.

@@1712Overture Could be. Or it's a modal modulation of some kind. It definitely caught my eye that simultaneous parts are in different keys though.

Yes, all of that indicates the instruments that transpose. This can be a very confusing subject to the novice, but what this means is that the "fundamental" pitch of certain instruments--the pitch that the instrument sounds as its basic fundamental tone without any manipulation--is the "key" of that instrument. So, a trumpet in B-flat when played in the open position--no valves down, the pitch unaltered by the lips--is a B-flat. Thus, when a composer writes for the B-flat trumpet, they must write everything a whole step higher than the sounding pitch, as all of the instruments are relating back to a monolithic "C" as the fulcrum pitch. "C" represents that fundamental pitch, regardless of the particular transposition involved. "C" for the B-flat trumpet is B-flat. "C" for the F Horn is F (a fifth higher than the sounding pitch). "C" for an A clarinet is A (a minor third higher than the sounding pitch). All of this seems needlessly complicated and unnecessary, but once you get used to reading scores this way, it begins to make its own sense.

if you wanna hear music that is actually in 2 keys at once listen to charles ives

@@datamasked623 You've never seen full scores before? ll transposing instruments (Trumpets, Clarinets, French Horns etc.) have to be transposed when written down so that they sound "right". It's all in the same key.

just wanted to let you know, that's just because certain instruments (mainly winds/bass) need their music transposed to sound the same. If an A calrient plays what's written as C on their music, a violinist would have to play an A (minor third down) to make the same pitch

?

I'll be performing it this fall :)

lmao, it started with the youtuber/tiktok guy and now i love the whole ballet lol

@@kazrios2553trombone Timo?

@@Nico27901 yeah lmaoo

Why, what's missing? The part that's just clapping? The tap dance? This is everything Copland wrote (as opposed to just the Four Dance Episodes that you usually hear) so "complete ballet" seems reasonable.

You may want to understand the current reality you live in. Thanks
