If you were paying attention when I shared a performance of that symphony several months ago you might remember I made a (cryptic) comment about the cymbal part.<\/p>\n<p>To explain &#8211; in a symphony that lasts well over an hour there is just one cymbal clash &#8211; it takes about 40 minutes to get to it and then you can spend the rest of the time recovering.<\/p>\n<p>The full concert is behind a subscription wall &#8211; but the trailer is available for free.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this share is that the cymbal player in this clip really does put his all into it &#8211; knowing that it is his one moment of glory his professionalism is exemplary. The video is a short trailer for the concert which has about a minute long excerpt from the Mozart piece before a fragment of the Bruckner &#8211; including the cymbal. Keep an eye out for him &#8211; although, to be honest its hard to miss him \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalconcerthall.com\/en\/concert\/51859\">Go to this page and watch the &#8220;Preview&#8221;<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bonus share tonight &#8211; specially for all percussionists who feel that they spend a lot of time doing nothing!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[102],"class_list":["post-2153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","tag-percussion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2153"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2155,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2153\/revisions\/2155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
