Stravinsky, as a general rule, rarely spoke on the extramusical references and inspirations of his work, but this symphony is one of the prominent exceptions to that rule. In the program notes during the work's premiere in NYC, he had argued that he considered it to be purely absolute, with no extramusical references (an attitude which was corroborated in his autobiography a decade prior to the debut of the Symphony: "I consider that music, by its very nature, is essentially powerless to express anything at all…"¹). However, in Robert Craft's book Dialogues and Diary, published in 1963, Stravinsky made the case that the work was actually composed as a reaction to events surrounding World War II (e.g. the first movement was inspired by the Japanese scorched earth tactics utilized in the Chinese theatre)². However, even despite this, he does close discussion on the piece with the remark: "But enough of this. In spite of what I have said, the Symphony is not programmatic. Composers combine notes. That is all."³ So no, this particular piece wasn't inspired by Manhattan. There are elements of American music, particularly jazz, that Stravinsky does use throughout the piece. However, the extramusical connotations of the piece, if Stravinsky ever intended any, were wholly separate from Manhattan itself. Sources: ¹ - Stravinsky, Igor. An Autobiography. (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1935), 53. ² - Craft, Robert. Dialogues and Diary. (Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1963), 83-85. ³ - Ibid., 85.

A true inventor of new music. Thanks for sharing score. Love the major-minor clashes. If rhythmic precision and attention to subtleties are not adhered to, this would sound like a mess. Beautifully done. Stravinsky uses such simple ideas and rhythmically, metrically, and orchestrally manipulates them into pure genius of outcome.

1:18 starts the buildup to one of my favorite timpani moments of all time, really kicks into gear at 1:32. I love how the part emphasizes select notes of the scales the bass instruments are playing (the 3 notes of the C major triad), while also making the section groovy as hell with syncopation as a result of the scales occasionally changing their starting pitch. It's just great writing.
@Silviola8244 жыл бұрын
Should say that it doesn't follow it exactly, when the scales have a B, the timpani plays G. It's a fast and intense section, guessing it would be too much to tune down to a B for one note. Timpani switches to a G major triad right after this section, though Stravinsky gives the timpanist time to make this switch.

This is miles away from Stravinsky himself in his first, New York recording (how much of the second was actually conducted by Robert Craft we shall never know). You wouldn't have expected Boulez to have been that interested in it, and he doesn't sound more than his usual professional self, but he is surely trying to distance it from the Rite of Spring even when Stravinsky himself as conductor seems to be referring directly to it,

Part 2 09:54 was written for the film "The Song of Bernadette". What you hear is what he intended for Bernadette's first meeting with her lady. I'm sorry they went with Alfred Newman instead, because this has a more unusual, otherworldly feel to it. If you're going to write music for young women meeting the Virgin Mary on an otherwise completely ordinary after-school errand, you want it to sound like this. Maybe they could use it for a film about Garabandal.

I am a retired Bassoonist and worked with many of the London orchestras after leaving the BBC Philharmonic in 1973. I played this work by Stravinsky many times and I can assure you this particular passage is difficult even for professional players. The problem is the passage is in very close cannon and a sort of stutter occurs between the players. Experiments have been made to discover the cause of stutters in speech and it was found that if you record a person speaking and playback a fraction of second later at the same time as speaking, the individual will begin to stutter. This is what happens here in this passage for the players. If even one of the players gets slightly out with the rhythm then the passage falls apart.

There is a mistake in counter-bassoon part two measures before RN 177 . There should be added g flat quaver on the second ( from six) beat and semi quaver c flat must be moved to the beat “four-and” ( the 8th semi quaver in this measure ). If this mistake is fixed in Counter-bassoon part the part of the second bassoon seems to be more logical and much easier to perform.
