Fun fact : Tchaikovsky never heard his 1812 overture with *perfectly-timed* cannon shots. As a matter of fact, cannons back then used black powder and are very much unreliable as to when it would go off as there are delays. It was not until 1897 and the advent of the French 75mm field gun that the bang could be perfectly and reliably timed with the overture.

@OtterTreySSArmy

2 жыл бұрын

That's not true as the Prussians invented modern artillery as we know it around the 1870s. They were breech loaded and used compressed black powder and percussion. They'd go off like 98% of the time. In fact, it was the Prussian use of these Krupp-made field artillery pieces that allowed for the decisive defeat of the French in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, leading to the founding of a united Germany as we know it today.

Amazing rendition considering this is a military band with half of the instruments (used in the original score) missing. The Japanese are an impressive people in so many ways particularly in things precise. I'm usually brought to tears by this overture - since childhood. I don't know why this is but my skin becomes goose-pimpled too. Yet even with so many instruments missing this rendition affected me in this way - the cannons are secondary in this effect but compound the initial effect. Well done Japan and this Military band. That last volley is as one!

this video is amazing 1) why are they so close to the cannons, I feel that was an oversight 2) they have sheet music to "read" to know when to signal, I love it 3) those guys hitting with the hammers. 100/10 brought the piece together 4) I love Japan.

It is an endlessly complex piece about being at war, the good,, the bad,, the fighting and in between times. It interweaves Russian and French folk music as well as patriotic music and traditional calls. And makes it work seamlessly together and is still being played and appreciated today. But, sure, it's a "meme piece". And this band plays it amazingly. Including having the cannons go off at the right time in the piece. Most orchestra/bands who do it are like... eh... just shoot 'em off whenever. This was awesome! And for better or worse it became the most popular of his pieces because of one man. Arthur Fielder.

Well, they are Japanese uniforms. Ever since the Imperial uniforms of the Imperial Japanese Forces were replaced by JSDF uniforms influenced by the USA after WWII, they (the Japanese) have been developing and updating their uniforms based upon the post-1945 lines. And, although highly unique in many ways, Japan rates as one of the most western nations on earth when considering factors like economics, fashion, engineering, military, etc. Alongside Singapore, Taiwan and Australia, Japan is one of the most western nations in the Asia-Pacific (hence the rising tensions with the PRC and the DPRK). That, and most NATO-observer nations also use NATO weapons and ammunition standards - which the 105mm Howitzer is a NATO standard piece, albeit US designed.

The artillery crews did amazing! I participated in a performance like this in a military band in my country and were pretty wildly out of time. I think the cannons were much further away for ours though.

That band deserves a fucking full round standing ovation. God damn it they are good.

This has to be the most Russian way to play a Russian composer's piece of music Edit: For all you guys saying it's a Japanese band not Russian, ik. I never said they weren't Japanese.
