GETRENNT UND ZUSAMMEN

Please be patient for a moment - this applies to the strings of the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra this afternoon, but even more so to the gentleman at the back of the timpani. Because first the orchestral winds alone have their grand entrance and present a delightful rarity with Stravinsky's "Symphony for Winds", in which the composer combines chorale, dance and orchestral music according to the modular principle.
composer used a modular approach to combine choral, dance and folkloristic elements. During Peter Tchaikovsky's late Romantic string serenade, a Mozart homage complete with an enchanting waltz, the timpanist can also devote himself undisturbed to reading the newspaper. In Schubert's cheerful 6th Symphony, his moment has finally come when full orchestral strength is called for and the reunited instrumental groups engage in an entertaining exchange of blows.
