I had a long trans-Atlantic this week en route to the current Oregon East Symphony concert, and I\u2019m trying to whip my cello playing back into shape for a concert on Sunday, and those Mahler blogs are quite time consuming, even when you have access to your computer.<\/p>\n<p>I finally made it to Pendleton yesterday afternoon and went straight to rehearsal. We had a youth orchestra rehearsal from 4-6 and OES from 7-10. Interestingly, the kids are doing Beethoven 5 and the \u201cgrownups\u201d (note the quote marks) are doing Beethoven 6. Having been completely consumed with administrative nightmares last week, I pretty much walked into those rehearsals without having looked at either piece in some months, something I generally never do. Sometimes, though- IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE PIECE- that\u2019s not the worst thing to do, because you come to the rehearsal really fresh and attentive. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\">What really struck me last night is just how much more modern, innovative and radical the 6<sup>th<\/sup> is than the 5<sup>th<\/sup>, which we all think of as the \u201crevolutionary\u2019 piece in Beethoven\u2019s output. The Pastoral really stands apart from all the other symphonies he wrote- he works with ideas in ways he never did again. The piece uses repetition in a truly radical way.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there I was working on it last night thinking Janacek and Philip Glass both should have been sending him royalties. There really is nothing new under the sun\u2026.. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\">c. 2006 Kenneth Woods <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/kennethwoods.net\/blog1\/2007\/01\/15\/beethoven-6-wilder-than-beethoven-5\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"box_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To those of you waiting anxiously for the next Kindertotenlieder piece, I\u2019m sorry for the delay.
