"Don Juan", Op. 20 is a tone poem for large orchestra by the German composer Richard Strauss, written in 1888. The composer conducted its premiere on 11 November 1889 with the orchestra of the Weimar Opera, where he served as Court Kapellmeister.
Strauss wrote and conducted the piece when he was only twenty-four years old and it became an international success shortly after its debut. It marks the discovery of the composer's formal style and tonal language. The work is based on the poem "Don Juan" by Nikolaus Lenau, from which much of the musical work's passion is drawn.
Conductor: Georg Solti & Chicago Symphony Orchestra

HOW did he write all this?? O, to be a fly on the wall when he first sat down and penned this on paper. Did he hear it and write down what he heard? Did he just mix motifs and add things on the score and see what came out? Obviously, he has such an advanced knowledge of harmony and of orchestration. But to convey a story, or at least representative ideas that are progressive in nature so as to convey some abstract story--how does he manage to capture the senses of our imagination so well? And to those of you taking auditions---good luck. I had my fair share back in the day.

Of course, the musical tropes and quotes he used were more easily recognisable to the German audiences of 130 some years ago. We have had so many other types of music to listen to since the advent of records and radio the old German referents are lost in the cacophony of our more audially technological and international society. To be able to write this at 23 is pretty amazing, but remember his dad was principal horn with the Vienna Phil so he got to study the orchestra in detail like few before or since. The harmony is still very sophisticated as a complex personal language. It was very, very innovative and even shocking to late 19th century audiences. So far as which techniques did he employ in composing? Hearing in his head? By theory? Just experimenting? Well judging by my own experiences of 60 years composing and those of my composer friends, it would have been a mix of all tools at hand in proportion to need. Although I'm certain his inner ear was a lot better than mine!!!

One sunny day, in April of 1965, a twelve-year-old, friend of mine, Bob, told me of a strange response his parents made to his question about what it was like 'making love'. They brought him into the living room. where the record player was and set the needle on a spot in the early part of the recording of "Don Juan" by Richard Strauss. His father said, "Son, when the music starts your mother and I will leave the room and you listen closely to the music; that will be the answer to your question and we will be back in three minutes." I did as my father and mother suggested and listened very closely...while listening it was like that feeling I get when I start on a swing, going up and down slowly at first then getting really high and jump off...I'm going to like 'making love' when my turn comes!!! That is what Bob said. PS, on the KZfaq video it starts at the 1:40 time and ends at the 4:15 time.

Nessuno può raggiungere in "Don Giovanni" di Mozart, ma il poema sinfonico di Richard Strauss , pur con influenze wagneriane , ma con dissonanze non presenti nell'opera di Wagner, rende il bene , sia nella parte più propriamente melodica,sia nella parte più tragica e dissonante, non solo la personalità di Don Giovanni , ma anche il progresso della musica do Strauss verso i capolavori. Ottima l'interpretazione orchestrale.

Musical pieces that basically 'describe' the actions and emotions of a story in sound (tone poems), like this one, were all the rage for a while in the Romantic Era.

Au contraire, if you follow the legend of Don Juan, it begins to make sense. DJ realizing his life's pursuits were in vain, throws himself at the mercy of an avenging father, and is challenged to a duel in which he allows himself to be mortally wounded. That's the tragic ending you hear only DJ's life was a farce built upon personal insecurity which he projected onto the fairer sex.

@gwang3103 Жыл бұрын

@@michaelrosa2015 I know the story had an unhappy ending. That's why I think Strauss shouldn't have made the earlier parts of his tone poem sound _so happy._ There's got to be some way to introduce a subtle undercurrent of tragedy throughout the music. Well, guess I'm being too demanding...
