Music

Netflix user with knowledge of classical music? What IS this piece?

Today I watched a Danish film on Netflix - Loving Adults.

At approximately 1 hour and 17 minutes a young girl plays a short piece of music on her violin. It is somewhat familiar; Bach possibly.
I have looked at the credits but none of the music listed is the one that I heard.

Really would like to listen to it in full but what is it?

Just had a listen but can’t place it. It sounds a bit Vivaldi-ish.

Play it on one gadget and use Google listen on your phone.

To me it sounds like one of the Sonatas/Partitas for Violin, BWV 1001-1006. I couldn't tell you which one, though!

Vivaldi

Vivaldi

Sorry violin 🙈

Vivaldi

Heh! How about that!

Vivaldi

Your suggestion (on the screen shot) is taking me to a Bach piece, not the right one.
Definitely could be Vivaldi - but which?

Yes, I tried to install Shazam but my phone is a bit old, I think.

@justasking111 - thank you for the link.

I listened to all 6 minutes but, lovely as it is, it isn't the piece played in the movie.

Thank you @PhotoDad - I listened to BMV 1001-1006 and found what I was searching for.

It is Bach BWV 1006 3.Gavotte en rondeau.

I am glad that you found it! Now I want to listen to all of the sonatas and partitas yet again, but it's past my bedtime anyway. Maybe tomorrow, there's a good plan!

PhotoDad · 26/08/2022 23:31

Vaguely related: do you know the Manze/Podger recording of the Bach Double? Period instruments, and faster than normal, so a bit marmite, but I absolutely love it.

notacooldad · 26/08/2022 23:34

I wouldnt have thought so if you can install apps but failing that just use Google listen and it does the same job.

notacooldad · 26/08/2022 23:35

To late you e already found it but Google listen and the like are good at picking up music in films and adverts.

rosegoldwatcher · 27/08/2022 09:36

@PhotoDad - The Bach Double has long been my favourite violin concerto. This is the version I most often choose - very old but wonderful. (Watch for the mistake by Igor, the son, in the third movement.)

Amazing, and very different to the Manze/Podger! Thank you for that, it's made my morning. Who says that Baroque music is purely technical with no emotion?

(Did he lose track at 15:30 and correct a bar later when dad joins in?)

The look of abject apology that he gives his father for momentarily forgetting where he is in the score!

I love Baroque music for its pattern - I have a mathematical brain.

Do you know this? I discovered it in a French film about Louis XIV.

Oh goodness!!! I wasn't watching the video, just listening, but that LOOK when he realises... and his dad doesn't even bat an eyelid. I didn't know the Lully (you know the anecdote about his death?) and it sent absolute shivers down my spine just now, so, thank you.

My DS15 plays classical guitar and was a cathedral chorister until recently, and I always love the early music he plays/sings; the guitar grade-lists normally include some lute pieces. It's very much expanded my own musical horizons backwards from Baroque.

rosegoldwatcher · 27/08/2022 21:21

Yes - Lully speared himself in the foot with a pole? Before the days of conductors using a graceful, non lethal baton.

How lovely, for you, to have a musically gifted son. My own sons strum a bit of contemporary stuff but have voices, so I am blessed in that way.

I am down a rabbit hole of Vivaldi/Bach/Purcell for the evening!

OP posts:
PhotoDad · 27/08/2022 21:29

My lad also plays piano, but with that it's jazz all the way, which isn't really my style. (He also used to dance, which he certainly doesn't get from me!) My DD18 isn't musical at all. Odd how these things turn out.

Enjoy your evening! If you want to include some Handel into your mix, might I suggest one of my relatively obscure favourites, "Acis and Galatea"?

rosegoldwatcher · 27/08/2022 21:33

I will certainly check out that Handel.

For you I recommend this - an update to Vivaldi Four Seasons - Spring. It raises goosebumps.

OP posts:
PhotoDad · 27/08/2022 21:47

Maybe "re-imagining" rather than "update"? I do enjoy that sort of thing.

I had forgotten that A&G is 90 minutes, too long for tonight. But the best recording is obviously John Eliot Gardiner:



and the lyrics are: opera.stanford.edu/iu/libretti/acis.htm

Good night! Happy to keep chatting here. Any other (pre) Baroque fans want to join in?
PhotoDad · 27/08/2022 21:49

Not sure if that linked worked... does this?
