Shostakovich "Tea for Two" ('Tahiti Trot') - Vassily Sinaisky conducts

After Shostakovich and Nikolai Malko had listened to an old 78rpm disc of Vincent Youman's "Tea for Two" in 1927, Malko bet Dmitri 100 roubles that he couldn't come up with an orchestration of the song, entirely from memory, in less than an hour. Shostakovich went into the next room and returned 45 minutes later, having made his own orchestration, and duly won the bet. In its new guise, the piece was called 'Tahiti Trot' and here it is, as played at the 1997 Proms by the BBCPO under Vassily Sinaisky.

I reckon that's the best 100 roubles Malko ever spent.

what kind of mind do you have to have to write this in 45 minutes from memory? What a command of the orchestral instruments!

I am but a lowly folk guitar player from Kentucky, but I have played some double bass in orchestra in my time, and Maestro Shostakovich is a worker of wonders across two centuries and thousands of miles. I am a fan of our local Derby City Roller Girls (roller skating sport among women) where we shout "DC! RG!" (Derby City! Roller Girls!) but I would in this case chant "DSCH!" The Russian people have given us so much in the way of music and literature, I have read Solzhenitzen, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky, but on a desert island, I would wish for a disc of Maestro Dimitri's music, including this piece. If I don't get it, I will make an instrument out of the nearest palm tree and perform it myself. Much love from Louisville, Kentucky USA.

Ce musicien au visage à l'expression souvent austère étant données les multiples épreuves traversées par lui au cours de sa carrière, savait se montrer capable également d'un humour totalement réjouissant et d'une virtuosité d'écriture époustouflante, ce que l'on constate, considérant ses autres oeuvres.

This was never meant to be a serious piece that would be published, so nobody was concerned about coprright infringement. Turning popular songs into serious compositions has been going on since long before there was such a thing as copyright law anyway.

This sort of composition is not plagiarism. There are many variations on other composers' themes throughout history. To conceive such an accusation is a sign of petty (and petty-bourgeois) thinking.

The question in my mind is this: Did Vincent Yeomans get any credit for this delightful but plaigarized piece of music? " Tea for Two" was actually quite a marvelous song with rather ingenious lyrics. Renaming it requires a fair amount of hubris.

@adam28xx 2 жыл бұрын

It's an interesting question, as Shostakovich's version came only three years after "Tea for Two" was first heard in the Youmans Broadway musical "No No, Nanette." I can only speculate, and someone else is sure to know for sure, but did the copyright of the Youmans song also apply in the Soviet Union at that time? According to the Wiki entry, "the accession of the USSR to the Universal Copyright Convention" didn't take place until 1973, which could mean that Shostakovich was free to make his arrangement in 1927 but the composer himself received no royalties!

@kirbywaite1586 2 жыл бұрын

@@adam28xx Thanks for the reply. Actually " Tea for Two" was not written for " No No, Nanette" . It had been written some years earlier and had alteady been popularized . It was simply incorporated into the musicsl, interestingly enough. As for copyright, certainly US copyright laws would have protected it in the US and one would think European Law would have as well.

@riccardomangin1635 2 жыл бұрын

Mamma mia, I cant believe that someone can think about plagiarism when we talk about a genious like Shostakovitch. The quotation on the song's melody is obvious. we know exactly how the piece was written par the composer. its a bet. all great composers take a famous thema or piece and make variations, pastiche etc. it makes me sick to read such accusations!
