Giazotto "Adagio in G minor" (Albinoni Adagio)

 This is Albinoni's Adagio. It is truly one of the most crisp and beautiful masterpieces of Baroque music. But it really seems to be composed by Raymond Diazotto. The first edition was published in 1958, so it is not really baroque music of about 300 years ago. It was composed for strings and pipe organ, but there are many other arrangements. This piece became famous when it was used in Orson Welles' 1962 film "Judgment. It greatly enhanced Kafka's mysterious and eerie story. It is often used at funerals, but I think it is always better to listen to it more comfortably.

 Now, in Beethoven's Piano Sonata, which is the main piece I am currently working on, my teacher tells me to be very careful about the relationship between each note and its related sounds. However, this piece is so-called baroque music, so I typed it with the intention of studying the balance of each part, mainly strings and organ.

 I use the newly upgraded version of Audibro's "La Scoring Strings 3″ as the sound source for my string ensemble. LASS is famous for its sound quality, which everyone recognizes, and the user interface has been completely redesigned from version 2.5 to 3, making it very easy to use. The pipe organ sound source is Soundiron's "Alfa Organ". The pipe organ is not a damped instrument like a piano, but a wind instrument. Also, it is said that the sound is created by combining several overtones (combination of pipes), so I tried to play it while learning how to play it little by little.

  • [...] A long time ago, maybe 50 years ago, I lived for a while on the island of Paris Saint-Louis. It was when the price of one franc was just a little over 80 yen. After dinner, while wrapping up the day's work, I would always listen to Radio France or Antenne 2 (my memory is a little fuzzy). I remember that the music played at the end of the station's broadcast was Marcello's Oboe Concerto, Adagio in the second movement. Whenever this music came on, I would always go to bed...it was a habit. In the morning, I would wake up to the sound of the 6 o'clock bell of Notre Dame de Paris on the neighboring island of Cité, but this one didn't leave much of an impression on me. Strangely enough, every time I listen to this Adagio, for some reason I remember the night view of the black chimneys from the window of my apartment. I have forgotten everything else, though. So I decided to type in the Adagio from the second movement of MARTOLLO's Oboe Concerto in D minor, which has left a nostalgic impression on me. It's a "baroque masterpiece" after a long time. It seems to be considered as one of the two great adagios along with Albinoni's one I typed earlier. [...].
