Tchaikovsky's Orchestral Technique
Hello,
In Pyotr Ilyich's orchestral pieces, we find some
unison-combinations of oboes and trumpets(with pistons), for instance;
4th Symphony-in 4th
movement/ Manfred-at
the end of 1st movement-(Andante non
tanto)h^cis^d-_cis_h^g-------_fis-/
5th Symphony-at the
end of 2nd movement-(Allegro non troppo) hhhh-h-^ dddd-d- ffff-f-, at
the end of 4th movement-(Moderato assai e molto
aestoso)gis--isgis^a--_sis_fis^gis-_e-----, and (Molto meno
mosso)e-eee^fis^gis^a_gis_fis_e_dis_cis/
6th Symphony-at the
midle-end of 1st movement-es--_d_c-_h_a--_gis_fis-_f-_es--_d_c, -at
the midle of 3rd movement-d d dd d _c c c^d---. It seems particular
for Pyotr Ilyich's works and that it has been increased after he
started to conduct his own works. The timbres of oboe and trumpet are
similar but of course different. Accordingly the mixed tone is
remarkable. I wonder that their unison-combinations are Pyotr Ilyich's
original inventions. Or if he followed other composers, I would like
to know examples of them. Please give me some suggestions.
Best regards,
Kamomeno Iwao
