Josh500 1,615 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Is anybody familiar with Johann Strauss's "Emperor Waltz"? There's a very brief moment in "Across the Stars" that impresses me to no end. Just one of those little magical JW touches. And it's a little similar to what Strauss did in "Emperor Waltz." Anybody know what I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a waltz not a lullaby! PS: I've changed the video... the first one was not complete. grrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot hear the Emperor Waltz any more without thinking of this: It's why I never complain about the food in restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,484 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I know the piece and never noticed anything similar to Across the stars. Josh I think you have too much spare time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,521 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I also don't hear any similarities to "Across the Stars". What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh I think you have too much spare time! No, I just know the orchestral scores of both pieces. Let me guess: you don't. If you don't notice it, that's fine. I was just wondering whether anybody else noticed it..... 1 hour ago, Thor said: I also don't hear any similarities to "Across the Stars". What am I missing? Did you read my OP? It's a little musical touch, a technique. Very noticeable in both pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,521 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I probably don't have the musicological knowledge to catch it. I think you'll have to reveal it at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricsim88 244 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I played emperor waltz almost every year for the past 20...never noticed the Across the star reference. If I was to compare every piece by every composer to another composer I would go crazy. Every composer has been influenced by another. Doesn't matter what century. Oh yeah, just finished playing 12 Nutcrackers. The similarities between Tchaikovsky's Trepak and JW Home Alone are minimal at best. Both fast and in 2/4 time. Pretty much it. JW is definitely influenced but doesn't steal has blatantly as others. He's an incredibly crafty composer. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
