Again, exactly! Both of you are right, I just wasn't able to summarize my thoughts on this subject. Great brainstorming guys.


Ahem, I was trying to search through almighty youtube, but no signs of this special sonata. There are others A - something and of course, other numbers, some of them in A major as well, but right this one ? No chance.

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

There is a fleeting similarity on occasions. It's like it might become the national anthem but it doesn't. It's the correct notes but in the wrong order.

They also quote from Tchaikovsky's Hamlet Overture somewhere else in the piece (a chimes/clock motif I think) but as Snow Dog says, I can't hear any obvious quote from the UK National Anthem (which is a dirge anyway IMO Dead)

Well, you know the original version of anthem far better than I do, my experience is mostly based on Queen's rendition :-) which, even rocky, isn't that much similar, OK.

I don't think it is very similar really.

Indeed ... still, the similarity with your hymn anthem is there. Any idea what band members (or writer/composer) said about

  that part ?


thanks

Interesting fact of the day.Approve

Hello, just a quick question for you, better informed guys. This (one of the first, if not first) epic song is composed of several parts. The last one is where my question is targeted - it is rocky variation on some familiar tune, like Ode to Joy, or God Save the Queen I think, but cannot correctly pinpoint it.

Is it the UK anthem or something only similarly sounding ?



And bonus question - do they on their other albums have other songs worth of such a deep love as I held this one ? You know, if they did just this, then well-known-from-radio Whiter Shade (a classic) and then nothing ?
