Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) together with Bach and Mozart is part of the trio of giants of Western music. Born in Bonn , his father of Flemish origin, tried to make him a second Mozart , although it was a notable failure. Despite this, from the age of nine the organist Christian Gottlob Neefe captivated him with the study of Bach . In 1787 he moved to Vienna with the intention of taking Mozart classes, but the death of his mother returned him to Bonn a few days later. And so after five years, he returned to Vienna where he contacted Haydn and Salieri , becoming known as a composer and pianist with notable public recognition. However, his profession as a pianist could not be carried out due to deafness that attacked him the following year, leaving him completely incapable of this faculty.

The Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in G major, Op. 40 was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1802 and was published the following year. Beethoven 's great prestige as a pianist often makes us forget that he was also a talented violinist. He had great knowledge and affection for this instrument, as demonstrated by his abundant violin production. Of his romances , this is the second in time to be composed but the first to go to print. For this reason, the Romance in G major is assigned the number 1 even though its composition was later in time. The piece consists of a single movement, Adagio cantabile , in G major and presents a rondo structure with two contrasting episodes, following the scheme A B A C A and coda.​

Bambuco is a traditional musical genre from Colombia and Venezuela , specifically from the Colombian and Venezuelan Andes region. It is considered one of the most representative genres of Colombian music and is part of the country's folklore. It is characterized by its binary rhythm and its soft and sentimental melody, although it has evolved over time, adapting to different regions and musical styles. It has been recognized as a symbol of Colombian cultural identity and is considered an important element in festivals and folkloric events in the country.

Today we attended the excellent performance of the Wind Orchestra Zaragoza with maestro Frank de Vuyst at the helm.

Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751) was an Italian Baroque composer, who was born and died in Venice ; known in his time for his operas, when today his popularity comes from instrumental music and, above all, from his famous Adagio , which was not written by him, but was composed in 1945 by the Italian musicologist Remo Giazotto based on some fragments of a sonata for strings and organ by Albinoni . In contrast to the composers of his time, he never sought a position in the Church or the Court , since he defended himself with his own resources and was tremendously jealous of his own independence. Son of a wealthy family, he studied singing and violin and composed some 50 operas and abundant instrumental music; above all, sonatas for solo and trio and concertos for oboe and violin.

The Concerto is a musical form written for one or more solo instruments accompanied by an instrumental ensemble. It was Vivaldi who established the fundamental bases of its structure with three movements (I Fast-II Slow-III Fast) and presented as a dialogue between the soloist(s) and the instrumental ensemble.

Today we offer the Oboe Concerto Op. 9 no. 2 in D minor by Albinoni structured in three movements I (0´27´´) ALLEGRO NON PRESTO .-. II (4´47´´) ADAGIO .-. III (9´17´´) ALLEGRO. The oboe interpretation is provided by Aldo Salvetti .

Beethoven 's musical legacy includes 32 piano sonatas, numerous works for chamber ensembles, concertos for piano and violin, incidental music, sacred music and, above all, nine symphonies that occupy the zenith of the History of Music . To understand it better, we can divide this legacy into three stages of continuous renewal and improvement: A) Until 1802 . Classicism . His first ten piano sonatas, the first six string quartets, the septimino, the first two symphonies and the first two piano concertos belong to him. B) 1803-1814 . Romanticism . In full artistic maturity and with absolute control of the formal structure and lyricism, he composed the symphonies from the 3rd to the 8th, his opera Fidelio , his 3rd, 4th and 5th piano concertos, the violin concerto, the triple concerto, the sonatas for piano “Claro de luna”, “Appasionata” , the Kreutzer Violin Sonata ,… C) 1815 until his death . Innovation of a more intense language with more daring harmonic and structural treatments: five last piano sonatas and five last string quartets, Symphony No. 9 with the incorporation of soloists and choir, Misa Solemnis …

Symphony . The word symphony derives from the Latin symphonĭa and this in turn from the Greek συμφωνία (symmphōnía), which means "consonance" as opposed to διαφωνία (diaphōnia), which means "dissonance." In the Middle Ages and later, the word symphony was used to describe various instruments, especially those capable of producing more than one sound simultaneously; in the sense of "sounding together", the word begins to appear in the titles of some works by composers of the 16th and 17th centuries and by the end of the 18th century the word had already acquired the common meaning that is currently assigned to it: a work that generally consists of four different sections or movements and composed most of the time for orchestra.

Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93 is a symphony by Beethoven written in 1812. Beethoven proudly refers to it as his "little symphony in F", distinguishing it from the Sixth Symphony , a longer work also in F major. The work, begun toward the end of 1811 and completed in October 1812, was his happiest, most carefree symphony, a work totally devoid of the somber emotions of his life. The symphony consists of four movements: I (0´12´´) ALLEGRO VIVACE E CON BRIO .-. II (9´10´´) ALLEGRETTO SCHERZANDO .-. III (25'06'') MENUETTO TEMPO .-. IV (17´47´´) ALLEGRO VIVACE.

Today it is offered to us by the Canadian Victoria Symphony orchestra conducted by the teacher, also Canadian, Tania Miller .

Wynton Marsalis (New Orleans, 1961) is an American jazz trumpeter, composer and arranger. He is the jazz musician with the greatest media impact of the last twenty-five years and one of the great trumpet players in history. Wynton Marsalis is the standard-bearer of neoclassicism in jazz , covering swing and the most modern readings of bebop with a classic and technically impeccable style. Marsalis 's entry into the jazz scene at the beginning of the eighties broke with the inertia of young performers' preference for fusion, exercising combative critical work against practically all the avant-garde jazz made since the mid-sixties.

Negu Gorriak ("Inviernos Crudos") was an alternative music group founded in Gipuzkoa in 1990. Their influence has been very great on the development of rock both in the Basque Country and in the rest of Spain and France . They have been described as one of the "most important rock bands of the nineties" in Spain. They practiced fusion music that pivoted on three fundamental styles for the band: rock, rap and reggae , in addition to traditional Basque music . They maintained a strong political ideology, starting with the choice of Basque and continuing both in the way they worked and in the themes of their songs; As an example, their first concert was offered in front of the Herrera de la Mancha prison. The group dissolved in 1996.

Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) was a composer and conductor born in Kaliště , currently Czechia , considered one of the most eminent composers of post-Romanticism. His creative work focused on the symphony, the lied (lyrical song) and the conjunction of both concepts; To this we must add the diversity of elements with which he worked (popular melodies, military melodies, fanfares of various types...), the manifest dissonances to which the public was not accustomed and the long duration of his symphonies; If we add to this that he faced a certain anti-Semitic press due to his Jewish origins, it is not surprising that his compositions did not have the success he deserved in his lifetime.

Mahler's Third Symphony . The choreography, by John Neumeier , was premiered at his Hamburg Ballet in 1975; the Paris Opera added it to its repertoire in 2009. The Third Symphony is one of Neumeier 's symphonic ballets . In the hand program, John Neumeier stated that “it is perhaps the paradoxical aspect of his music that seduces me so much, a paradox that, in my opinion, resembles the fundamental principle of dance. Dance uses the human body to elevate it to a metaphysical or spiritual level. The same thing happens with Mahler 's music. The composer takes us to universes that are familiar to us, because they are inscribed in the deepest part of us.” Today's video is brought to us by the Orchestra and Corps de Dance of the Paris National Opera .

Algara Dantza Taldea was born on April 13, 2000. At first it was made up of 15 dantzaris from another dantza group. Today there are 120 dancers and 20 musicians. Its objective is to make Basque dances and culture known. To do this, they create their own choreographies and dance them to the sound of the trikitixa, the txistu, the alboka and many other instruments. (Extracted from Ohianeder Euskararen Etxea)

Fandango and Arin Arin. It is a dance performed either as a couple, as a trio of dancers, whether two men and a woman or vice versa, or in a circle. It is, therefore, a social and mixed dance in the sense that it is performed in society and both sexes take part. According to various researchers, it could be an import of the style of dancing typical of the Peninsular South which, closer to the culture we call Arab, prioritizes the movement of the arms and hands over that exercised by the legs. The arms are raised, forming an angle in front of the eyes and with the shoulders of the dancers, a rare occurrence in Biscayan dances. (Extracted from Euskal Herriko Dantzak)
