Seems like the gif isn't uploading properly!

What a long journey from that moment:
to that:
 
40 years of hard work to the first one, and another 40 years of hard work to the second one.

They have altered the part. Pray they don't alter it any further.

Apparently the full video of The Imperial March will be online tomorrow!

It'll be the Tuba and Bass performance of the Imperial March, duh.

Finally, some info:
 

 
The legendary American film composer John Williams conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for the first time - "Visit from the dear God" was the title of the standard, "standing upright jubilant choirs at their first appearance: as if God was received by earthly disciples John Williams in Vienna documents the historical performance - "a very special honour" in the life of the composer Symphonic Hollywood sounds on the stage of the Vienna Musikverein - the world-famous orchestra plays cult themes from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and other milestones in film history. Star guest Anne-Sophie Mutter with adaptations for violin arranged especially for her by Williams Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park - the soundtracks of the master of cinematic magic John Williams are among the most popular in the history of film and have received numerous prestigious awards, including five Oscars, five Emmys, four Golden Globes and twenty-five Grammys. Now the legendary American film composer has recorded the most famous, beautiful and touching cult themes for the first time with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. "Star moments of film music" was the headline of the Wiener Zeitung, "Hollywood's grandmaster thrilled audiences with excerpts from his life's work at the Vienna Philharmonic."

Williams' two concerts at the Vienna Musikverein on 18 and 19 January 2020 were the first performances the composer has ever conducted in continental Europe. Working with the Vienna Philharmonic was "a very special honour" in his life. In addition to Williams and the orchestra, another exceptional artist was on stage in the first half of the concert: Anne-Sophie Mutter. Thus the conductor and the violinist continued their artistic partnership after their joint album Across the Stars. The new album "John Williams in Vienna" combines cult themes from E. T., Great White Shark, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and other milestones in film history as well as two previously unreleased adaptations, specially arranged by Williams for Mother, for violin of "Devil's Dance" from The Witches of Eastwick and "Raider's March" from Indiana Jones: Hunters of the Lost Treasure. Of course, the world-famous "Imperial March" from Star Wars should not be missing. "One of the best performances of this march that I have ever heard," Williams noted.

The limited Deluxe Edition "John Williams - Live in Vienna" is the only version that contains the unique concert experience on Blu-ray with additional 6 tracks. Including a breathtaking Dolby Atmos surround sound mix for the perfect concert experience at home (available as video and audio-only version) As a bonus: an interview by Anne-Sophie Mutter and John Williams from the Vienna Musikverein. The standard CD as well as Blu-ray disc is presented in a high-quality digipack in Blu-ray format with a noble gold foil look on the cover.

Looks great! As someone who had to sell my ticket to this due to other obligations, I'm really looking forward to seeing it at home. 

They tried for years, apparently. When Williams wasn't interested, they helped establish the Philharmoniker connection instead. And we should be thankful for that, because we got two excellent concerts with great acoustics and a solid programme instead of an bombastic light show with amplified sound and butchered medleys.

In a year, I expect you to have written a book on JW, in Greek!

True -  βιβλίο, λόγος, χρόνος - all that sort of stuff greatly speeds up vocabulary learning. In the cases where the common roots aren't that obvious, I always have a Wiktionary tab open, so that I can make those connections between the languages that I know, and the languages that I am learning. It's better than the blind cramming strategy.
 
Still, there aren't too many shortcuts here, even if most European tongues stem from the same ancient family. It still takes about 30-60 minutes of learning each day for a whole year, to get to a basic-intermediate conversational level in a new language.

Thank you!
As I said, it will be in Greek.
 
it's: The film music of John Williams (1975-2018):Melody, harmony, formal archetypes and thematic unity.
It's 248 pages, incl. bibliography.

That leap of logic about Hammond is absolutely genius.
 
To celebrate it, I created something special:

 
For those who are not real JWFans:
1. Krzysztof Penderecki, a classical composer born in 1933, also a friend of ASM
2. Dumbledore takes memories out of his head and puts them into the pensieve so that he does not have to remember
3. Did you know that John Williams stole from Holst?
4. Sony Classical put the photo of Guitar Williams in their Twitter post celebrating JW's 88th birthsday
5. Don Williams said that John has always been interested only in girls and music
6. Telling stories at Tanglewood!
 
Edit: I noticed that some of my explanations already require a measure of fan knowledge. So advanced is this meme!

The duality of man

And audio from the Sunday performance where half the orchestra isn't out of sync...

Thank you so much! <3
 
So far I spotted our daughter in one of the first shots and Biodome in the last one. :-D
 
This will be such a nice memento of those happy, emotional, uncomplicated times in Vienna that happened - it seems - like yesterday. *sigh*
