Ninth and last
Born 7 May 1824. Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) 9. Premiere of the Symphony. It was the last symphony that the German composer wrote, but as for intention, you can say it was the first. Beethoven wrote Symphony No. 1 in 1799 and 1800, years before he was born in his head No. 9 in 1793.
The year before, the young Beethoven settled in Vienna in 1792, with Joseph Haydn as a teacher. In fact, he traveled to the city before, at only 16 years old, with the objective of being a student of Mozart. But her mother became ill and had to return to her hometown, Bonn. When he returned to Vienna, Mozart had already died.
Shortly after his second visit to Vienna, at the age of 23, he read the Ode of Joy by the German poet Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805). In the whirlwind of the Napoleonic wars, the poem message affected the young Beethoven: the passion for peace and equality between peoples. And he thought about putting music to those words.
Despite breaking the rules, he had tremendous success at the premiere. The composer was there, but he couldn't hear the applause, because he already had his ear completely lost.
Three decades later, the idea of the young woman would materialize, when she formed a revolutionary piece that we consider classic today. Until then the symphonies lasted approximately 30 minutes, but Beethoven extended the ninth to 70 minutes. In addition, symphonies were in themselves instrumental pieces, and Beethoven added four voices and a full choir to interpret the Ode of Joy.
And even though he broke the rules, he had tremendous success at the premiere. The composer was there, but he couldn't hear the applause, because he had already lost his hearing completely. It was his last public appearance and died three years later.
The work, the anthem of the European Union since 1986, is the most widely interpreted piece of work ever and, on the occasion of the bicentenary, this first post has been strengthened this year. In those 200 years, 9. We've internalized the sound of the symphony, but not the message that Schiller's words keep.
The sum of four elements does not always give four, usually more than that. And of course, they walked through a number of projects and to know how and why they came together. Atxe, Led Inferno, Osoron and Txerra. We thought they were going to make punk for the background, but... [+]
You cannot read a group without taking into account the past of your colleagues; and in this case, exercise is even more difficult. There's a member of Tatxers, and Borla reminds the Tatxers group. It is inevitable to think about the previous group, but we stayed short, because... [+]
In Durango's Hitz bookstore, it occurred to me that the Saturraran opera deserved criticism. On the one hand, the response of Jose Julián Bakedano, the illusion of the words of Gaizka Olabarri from the bookstore, the illusion of Nekane Bereziartua, who for so many years has been... [+]

Concert hall signs usually have a common element: two (or three) groups are scheduled on the same night, but both groups are not recognised as having the same status. There is a hierarchy. What I used to play, the Spanish telonero, is the antecedent of the main concert, being... [+]
An image is worth a thousand words. I read the journalist and writer Pascual Serrano that there is no more lie than that. He wrote it ten years ago, when we started to see that the image was going to eat the whole word. Finally, the proverbs can be refuted.

Forty minutes from Pamplona, in Arce, the small town of Hiriberri, with two dozen inhabitants. Along with Ruper Ordorika, Martin Larralde, the old friend who is never missing from Ruper's performances, attended his performance. It is true that many other people also appeared,... [+]
