Listening to concerts (1) Tokyo · Spring · Music Festival

The first DSD 5.6 MHz live streaming delivery will be held at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Small Hall on April 5, 2015 as a program of the Tokyo · Spring · Music Festival marathon concert "" classical school "~ cinema Viennese musician ~ Music musical performer Zaromont (200 years after death) and composer "will be delivered. Mr. Tadashi Komiya who was in charge of planning and composition, asked how to enjoy this unique day.

From the point of view of the music musical performer, we will reexamine the 19th century Europe

What is the theme of this time, music musical practitioner Zaromont?

Johann Peter Zaromont (1745 - 1815) is a composer who is a good violinist. However, I was not satisfied with the work of the court alone, and began to organize concerts over London. The style of the concert that the original composers of the time were invited one after another to show off new songs and managed by the admission fee of the citizens has become the forerunner of contemporary concerts. Zaromont's own songs are now almost unlikely to be played in Europe at the moment, and this time we ordered notation from the Vienna Raku Friends Association and the British Library.

What kind of city was London in those days?

In the UK where the progress of the citizen revolution was quick, spreading colonies to Asia and others increased economic power and some citizens began to have wealth. London has a rich civic life as a big consuming area. In such a period, it was Zalomon that planned a concert in response to the needs of the audience.

What is the situation of musicians at that time in Europe?

While there was a concert hosted by the court, there was also a concert that the musicians independently planned. Musicians earned income by writing songs for the nobleman's wedding ceremony and funeral and publishing music notation. Although it has a social status if it is hired by court, we can not do free activities. Freelance like Mozart finishes when it stops selling. Because the citizen has a considerable skillful performer, it was quite a tough world.

Did politics also affect music?

Episodes of war have spread to Vienna since Napoleon roared the town. In order to heal the hearts of citizens, the dream of reworking with the power of music will result in the performance of "Alexander's Feast" (Handel Composition, Mozart Arrangement) in 1812. The Vienna Musume Friends Association was established because it is regrettable that it will be unprecedented charity concert with about 600 performers of professional and amateur played together and it will be dissatisfied.

The life of musicians connected by Zaromont

The second part is Haydn's theme, but what is the relationship between Haydn and Zaromont?

Zaromont leaves his name in music history as a box-officer who invited Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) to London. That's why the symphonies of 12 songs made in London are called "Zaromont symphony". In a big city like an outrageous live horse, I showed off a new song by a great composer, sold the musical score arranged for small organization for those who wanted to listen once more or listen to it again. A rare businessman who did event planning, promotion, arrangement, etc. all by himself is Zaromont.

Why did you arrange Haydn and Pleyel?

Ignats Pleuel (1757 - 1831) was also a musician who sent a staggering life. Born in Austria, after going through the palace in Hungary, we will move to Strasbourg in France. As I was a court member, I went to London when the French Revolution occurred. The song of Pleyel playing this time was what was thought to be Haydn composition at that time. why? Because Haydn is more able to sell, the music shop changed its own name without permission. Eventually Pleuel returned to France and made a famous piano studio.

The third part is Mozart. What is the relationship between Zaromont and Mozart?

The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) was avant-garde at that time. I would like to invite someone who makes this funky music to London and tell the citizens who are deaf. With such a wish of Zaromont also violently Mozart conflicts, Symphonies No. 39, No. 40, No. 41 were immediately performed in London. There is also a theory that Symphony No. 41 was nicknamed "Jupiter" by Zarommon. Mozart who was familiar Haydn left for London and stayed in Vienna for his wife may have been chagrin.

Why is a familiar Sarieli appearing in movies?

The image that Antonio Salieri (1750 - 1825) is a regrettable uncle who was jealous of Mozart 's talent is a terrible wet clothes (laugh). Salieri who served the court was stable in society and was a good colleague who recognized each other with Mozart. Mozart's son also learned music from Salielli. Compare Sarriel and Mozart and compare how you feel with that music by all means by yourself.

Beethoven, Part 4, What song is "Symphony of Victory"?

The black history of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827), who knows, "Symphony of Victory". The Viennese citizens were enthusiastic about the fight of Vittoria, the British army defeated the Napoleonic army, and Beethoven made this song and gained great popularity by multiplying it. With the tune that expressed the battlefield as Dokandokan all the time, Beethoven's biggest trash is a modern evaluation. Although I am aware of the unexpected aspect of Seiko, it is strange that music history was the biggest hit song before life.

A rare composer appears in Part 5, is not it?

Luigi · Kelvini (1760 ~ 1842) was also very popular at the time, and the masterpiece "Anakureon" was an important work played during the founding period of the Royal Philharmonic Association. British composer Charles Barney (1726 - 1814) is a gifted man who wrote the European music's journal while traveling for years. It is almost forgotten now, but played an important role in the music world at that time.

In the style of the 19th century, enjoying leisurely is recommended

Why did you pick up an unnamed composer?

By picking up a person hiding in the shadow of the great composer, there is fun that you can imagine the state of the music world at that time. Some famous songs have increased their evaluation after death, there are also popular songs of those days that have been forgotten now. The masterpieces that everyone knows are just supernatants of the huge music that each era came from. In today's unknown songs, if you listen to the feelings of the people at that time, you surely have a new awareness.

What are the secrets of enjoying a long-term concert?

Contemporary concerts are generally composed of appetizers, soups, main, but this time the program is a tavern style program called appetizer, appetizer, and appetizer (laugh). In fact the concerts of the period when Zaromon worked were actually like a knob like this. "Rose selling" to play only a part of not the whole movement is also natural. Various performers and singers appeared without any context and guests went in and out of the venue without permission. Please also enjoy live streaming delivery with ease while doing housework and meals.

Why are there a lot of arrangements?

The concert in small form like this time is a very common style at the time. The orchestra has the best of several times a year, even if there is a symphony that I want to listen again, the replay has not come true. So the version arranged for small organization was very active. In anticipation of it, Zaromont was instantly arranging symphonies that he had performed and earning it by selling notation. You really have a business sense.

What do you want to convey through this concert?

Only stars are paying attention to music, but behind them are various shadow protagonists. There is a small gear that supports a big gear, a genius composer, and the whole turns well. With aware of such a mechanism, if you look at Europe of the 19th century, you will see a landscape that could not be seen until then. Some luxurious Happsburg houses, others Mr. Freemason and others have drowned. From the dense chaos, the last pure drop that is filtered and runs down is music.

Are there many songs premiered in Japan too?

There is no doubt that it is a maniac concert. I can not make it clear because there is no accurate material, but songs premiered in Japan should have many songs that will not be played more than 10 years ago. To the musicians, "I'm new, but it seems to be my last opportunity in my life so I'd love to play" I was pleased. The small hall of Tokyo Bunka Kaikan has a salon-like mood that does not feel the size of the space. Hopefully the scene of music where Zalomon lived from the latter half of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century felt familiar.
