#Radetzky March

[the-spiders-thread]

10 things, more or less, I’d like to see: The Public School Arc anime

I can’t wait to hear the familiar voices of Ciel and Sebastian again. Interacting, discussing, talking, planning, strategizing, taunting each other, on top of their games…

Vincent Phantomhive, the very bi, nasty, one hell of a master-class strategist.

Vincent subduing this German boy, Diedrich, and making him his disciple. It is mean. It is cruel. It probably is Vincent’s way of getting what he wants. All the time until he didn’t get it anymore.

And Undertaker … to see and listen to him again honestly. One of the reasons for living. I still believe that, however twisted that might be, he was hoping that Ciel got to experience what it meant to be a part of the community. The normal life. Undertaker’s way of love is unhealthy.

I honestly don’t get cricket. I wonder if they are going to make it palatable. It was fun in the manga bc of Yana’s storytelling, also it was a quarter and a half of the arc.

Sebastian Michaelis as a conductor with his orchestra playing the “Radetzky March.” Anyway, since I’ve become interested in Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler it is thrilling to find out that Yana Toboso included it on her story. Will Ryo Kawasaki include the song into the Public School arc in April? I’d love to see and hear Sebastian Michaelis as the maestro conducting it.

I’d like to say that Yana T was satisfied with the voice actors (“The screen, the voice, the music... everything is gorgeous! I’m looking forward to the broadcast!”) even though some are not convinced with Junya Enoki’s prowess to deliver as Lawrence Bluewer. Everyone still thinks that he’s Itadori Yuji. On the other hand, Edgar Redmond’s VA, Watanabe Toshiki, is fond of decorating their nails.

Lawrence Bluewer who cannot believe his luck.

The ball. Tanaka-san dancing with Frances Midford, Mey-rin with Prince Soma, etc. Basically, the calm before the storm.

Lastly, Sebastian chasing the headmaster, who turned out to be Undertaker.

Kuroshitsuji

and Radetzky March

Every New Year’s Day, it is a tradition that the Viennese Philharmonic Orchestra plays this staple public favourite to end their performance. The concert is televised in more than 90 countries. Last year, they began to stream it on the internet, which one can watch for free in five days.

Seiji Ozawa conducting, 2002

Anyway, since I’ve become interested in Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler it is thrilling to find out that Yana Toboso included it on her story. Will the song be incorporated into the Public School arc in April? I’d love to see and hear Sebastian Michaelis as the maestro conducting it.

Now, it is true that it is a patriotic song. And the history behind it is bloody. The melody is very happy for sure, as if you’ve come out from the battle/war unscathed. Victorious, yes. Who wouldn’t be? No wonder, Sebastian loves it. It also has the same cadence like the heartbeat.

A background: Strauss the Father composed it for the Count Joseph Radetzky von Radetz. It is to commemorate his regiment’s advancing to Northern Italy. One time listening to our tour guide in Venice, she mentioned this part of history to us, she showed us the cannons they retrieved from the Austrian army, which fired and destroyed their buildings indiscriminately during the bloody days of 1848. Those states made up of the Austrian-Hungary Empire that wanted their freedom so much but the emperor sent his troops instead to stop these revolts from happening. One Venetian hotel that survived the bombing incorporated the cannonballs to its building as a reminder of the centuries past.

Some Austrian historians believe it is time to “cancel” the song or rather remove the song from the yearly Neujahrskonzert. The yearly traditional concert has a few problems. But not this song. One of them is the lack of female conductors leading the orchestra. Whereas Ricardo Mutti, an Italian maestro, will reportedly lead the concert again next year for the, get this, seventh time!!!

It was only in 2002 when they let the late Japanese conductor Seiji Ozawa, the first ever Asian, to lead the orchestra and received standing ovation after playing the staple ending song of Radetzky March.

It is very important to remember the past and learn from it. Austria, once an empire, knows it very well, to be stripped of the lands and power it once willed. But in some aspects they learned the lesson. Not all, but most. Thing is, removing this song from the yearly concert feels like something is lacking. Also, I don’t think it would solve the issue of the Austrian philharmonic orchestra where it is dominated by male musicians.

I digress.

Am curious of Yana T’s connection to it. I would really love to know if she watches the televised concert every New Year’s Day. Or did she choose it specifically bc of popularity or the history. Or the melody.

OTD in Music History: Historically important composer Johann Strauss, Sr. (1804 - 1849) -- aka "Johann Strauss The Elder" -- is born in Vienna. Strauss Sr. was famous for the various forms of "light" music (namely waltzes, polkas, and galops) which he helped to popularize in Vienna alongside his friend and colleague, Joseph Lanner (1801 - 1843). He thereby set the foundation for his own sons -- Johann Jr. (1825 - 1899), Josef (1827 - 1870), and Eduard (1835 - 1916) -- to follow in his footsteps and create a multi-generational musical dynasty. Strauss Sr. is perhaps best known today for composing the "Radetzky March" (named after Czech nobleman Joseph Radetzky von Radetz), and he first established his reputation when he began conducting at the “Sperl,” a popular Viennese dance hall, in the early 1830s. By 1834, he was appointed bandmaster to the 1st Vienna Militia Regiment, and the following year he was made Director of the Imperial Court Balls. He then undertook a series of wildly successful concert tours across Europe. Suffice to say, he was a very busy man... but not too busy to acquire a mistress, with whom he had a whopping eight children. Perhaps not surprisingly, this ultimately led him to abandon his first family. Ironically, this proved to be a very fortuitous development for the history of "classical" music: up to that point, Strauss Sr. had staunchly refused to allow any of his sons to pursue careers in music. Johann Jr. was commanded to study banking; Josef was destined for a military career; and Eduard was expected to join the Austrian consulate. But that all changed when Strauss Sr. abandoned the family -- suddenly, the boys were freed up to pursue their musical passions. Johann Jr. quickly struck up his own band, and soon began competing with his father... PICTURED: A rare copy of the first edition printed piano-reduction score for Strauss Sr.'s "Festlieder Waltz" (Op. 193 c. 1845), which he signed on the front cover.

The Power of the Dog (2021, Jane Campion)

13/11/2023

The Power of the Dog is a 2021 film written and directed by Jane Campion.

Film adaptation of the 1967 novel of the same name by Thomas Savage, it stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee. It was presented in competition at the 78th Venice International Film Festival, where the director was awarded the Silver Lion - Special Award for Direction. Campion also repeated her success in Hollywood by winning the 2022 Oscar for directing.

In 1925, in Montona, brothers Phil and George Burbank, wealthy ranch owners, are engaged in transhumance.

Rose, George's wife, cannot play more than a few notes of Strauss's Radetzky March and is humiliated several times by Phil, who starts whistling the tune every time they are near each other.

Rose's son Peter rides alone one day and finds a dead cow, probably due to an anthrax infection: the boy puts on gloves and cuts off pieces of the cow's skin.

Peter, who did not go to Phil's funeral, opens a prayer book for funeral rites and reads Psalm 22:20:

"Deliver my life from the sword and my love from the power of the dog"

The project originated from producer Roger Frappier, who acquired the rights to the novel in 2012, but it did not go into production until Campion agreed to write and direct the adaptation in 2019. Paul Dano was supposed to play George Burbank, but was replaced by Plemons due to scheduling conflicts with filming him in The Batman. Elisabeth Moss had to give up the role of Rose as she was already busy on the set of The Handmaid's Tale.

Filming of the film, which took place entirely in New Zealand, began in January 2020 in Maniototo, in the Otago region, then moving to Dunedin. Work was interrupted due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic: Cumberbatch, Dunst and Plemons remained in the country for the entire duration of the lockdown, then resumed filming in June.

The film premiered on September 1, 2021 in competition at the 78th Venice International Film Festival. It will also be presented at the BFI London Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival.

Joseph Roth was simply that bitch. He just knew. On 30 January 1933 when Hitler became chancellor, he left Berlin for Paris on the same day and three weeks later wrote a letter to the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig: “Quite apart from our personal situations — our literary and material existence has been wrecked — we are headed for a new war. Do not deceive yourself. Hell reigns.”

#BANGER LINE AFTER BANGER LINE!! god said read Radetzky March right fucking now!!!!! #Joseph Roth #oughhhhh Radetzky March is so good

there goes the sign again with classical music and we've moved on from beethoven to mozart's kleine nachtmusik

#not even in thai series do i (an austrian) escape the kleine nachtmusik jfjfjfh #there's just some specific classical music pieces that are just so extremely cliché austrian to me #and eine kleine nachtmusik is one of them #the other ones are the blue danube waltz and also the radetzky march #airenyah plappert #the sign #adrm #ts ep6 #i'm sooo close to catching up but i'm also about to fall behind again rip #it's taking me forever to watch a single ep bc i'm looking up so many words and making vocab lists and all #(bless idolfactory for having thai subs <3333) #sometimes it takes me multiple days to watch a single ep bc of this djfjfjvi #i've been at ep6 for multiple days now fjcjfjv

Why is austro-hungarian empire nostalgia so inherently tied in with Christmas and New Year celebrations in italy it drives me insane because I know if this sort of cultural phenomenon was happening in like the US or England there would be like 5000 essays on the subject but it's happening in Italy so we are just supposed to. Assume its normal

#like. why princess sissi at every christmas. why the radetzky march at every new year #and dont tell me its not that deep. fuck you. trading places explained to me the futures market

[butchdykekondraki]

if i dont assign classical music to blorbos from shows every five minutes i explode into viscera

#[ren] #francis wojciechoski is so valse sentimentale by tchaikovsky coded #<- clef is masquerade suite: I. waltz by khachaturian #<- or whatever the fuck that guys name was #also ukelele is radetzky march by strauss . btw . if u care

Finally….another radetzky March 1932 clown. The ultimate doomed by the narrative book, and I’m still incredibly proud of the essay I wrote on it last semester where my feedback was “A. Excellent work”

Welcome to the tumblr Radetzky March fandom, there are maybe a dozen of us. All the cool bloggers love novels about the death of empire and being ground down under the wheel of fate

#jon fosse may have won the nobel but joseph roth’s the radetzky march is still the 2023 book of the year

[svogliata-mente]

oh! but I found my copy of treasure island at home so after I finish radetzky's march for real this time I'm rereading that and then I want to finally watch black sails :)

#i did want to read it in english but I'll see. i have the option at least I'll see I'll see #i am liking radetzky's march immensely btw it's taking me a while because of the aforementioned motivation and time problems #me medesima

[segretecose]
