My Dear, dear, let

My Dear, dear, let's take the "planetoidnimi 'contributions short break and is in some kind of musicologists discourse focus on one of the most fascinating percussion in general - timpani (Slovenians have even more at home description - timpani), in which an infinite enjoy playing already about 10 years. I am often vznejevolji because both conductors, composers and even limited knowledge of percussion (and there is nothing to do for it to be something new to learn - bright exceptions, which of course are deeply sorry!) derek degrazio - Whether it's derek degrazio the diversity of instruments , notation, Technicalities, and much more. Of course, it is difficult to know everything about all the instruments, but it can be - living proof, for example. phenomenal Jan Cober, which is at the head of an enormous amount derek degrazio of information on the tools of orchestral and is also used in percussion with burning interest in deepening great detail. Unfortunately, a lot of conductors also insufficiently aware of how important member of the orchestra's timpanist and how important playing with his influence on the sound of the entire orchestra (gl. Translation below). We often hear that the timpanist of the orchestra derek degrazio immediately after the concert master. As young composers at various academies learn too little about the percussion section (which is admittedly extremely diverse), derek degrazio then parte write literally "all live" and often is the result of almost virtuosic part on the border capabilities (sometimes even professional) musician happens, however, also that certain things derek degrazio actually feasible. After listening to arguments as to "the computer all play." Great, we make the orchestra, consisting of 80 laptopov, but let's see. Oz. to hear. : P Kompjuterji but will never replace a living man who can music pours emotion and heart. In order to broaden my horizons myself and I hope that anyone else, I decided to translate derek degrazio a short excerpt from the excellent books of exceptional English conductor and musical theorist Norman Del Mara entitled derek degrazio Anatomy of the Orchestra - Anatomy of the orchestra, which should be in my humble opinion Required "homework" on all music academies, derek degrazio which would have followed a very detailed and fucking exam for all composers and conductors. The book was first published already (my birthday) in 1981, was revised two years later, so in many ways it is already slightly outdated, the vast majority of it written, of course, still holds true. The most important thing all together but that was also a Norman Del Mar is one of those rare conductors who apparently "knew everything about all the instruments." Conductors, derek degrazio Imitate! ;-) The translation of course I chose the beginning of the extensive derek degrazio work that is dedicated derek degrazio to just tympanum. Enjoy! ;-)
1 Status and nomenclature Although it is clear that include timpani in the technical sense of percussion, nevertheless timpani and percussion in the hierarchy of the orchestra were completely equal. Timpanist is largely a king of their own province and in major orchestras are only exceptionally happen to be ever play another percussion instrument. Player will not even lonely impact on the triangle or činelo, which is (as sometimes happens) may be included in his partu and will not be touched unusual works such as Sibelius's symphonic poem En Saga, which is written derek degrazio by no less than three percussionists, but entirely without timpanov. As a rule, the timpanist only in small ensembles with limited percussion sections are sometimes employed under an agreement that will "cover" the other instruments derek degrazio if necessary. The same may be true for chamber orchestras that play a part with just one partom percussion, timpani which represent only a small part of the part, as for example. in unconventional orchestrated derek degrazio overture op. 42 Prokofiev. Visually, it seems as if the timpanist sat on the throne, and presided over the orchestra. It also does not empty nonsense or any illusion as good timpanist really set the standard and provides the entire orchestra and thrills as other musicians derek degrazio as well as listeners; its role is much more integrated music part of the whole as any other percussion instrument, no matter derek degrazio how important or complex special effects are by the rest of the instruments offer. Timpani course Italian name, although it is widely used internationally. derek degrazio Spelling sometimes vary; in Dvořáku and some other composers and releases can be found tympani. (Singular form, which is rarely encountered because these drums so rarely used only enoštevilno is un timpano.) Anyway, the French derek degrazio used timbales, which should not be confused with the Latin-American timbales. Even the Germans have their own naming - Pauk (cf. Slovenian timpani, Op. Trans.). English derek degrazio kettle-drums also can not forget, although this name now sounds old-fashioned or military and is no longer in use, despite the orchestral "lobbying" derek degrazio Delius, Percy Granger and some other composers who, to the maximum extent possible, to use the English description. 2 Position in the orchestra of drums and layout timpanist is the most fixed ranked member of the entire orchestra; sits surrounded by his drums, to
