The 1812 Overture (full title: Festival Overture "The Year 1812", Op.49; French Ouverture Solonelle) is an orchestral work by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky commemorating the unsuccessful French invasion into Russia, and the subsequent devastating withdrawal of Napoleon's Grande Armée, an event that marked 1812 as the major turning point of the Napoleonic Wars. The work is best known for the sequence of cannon fire, which is sometimes performed, especially at outside festivals, using real cannon. When performed indoors, orchestras may use computer generated cannon sounds or huge barrel drums. Although the composition has no historical connection with the US-UK War of 1812, it is often performed in the US alongside other patriotic music; it is a staple at Fourth of July celebrations.
The overture debuted in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow on August 20, 1882.
세이지 오자와는 현재 아직 살아있는 지휘자들중에서 내가 가장 좋아하는 지휘자이다. 현재 몸이 편찮으셔서 많이 지휘를 못한다는게 매우 아쉽다. (현재 활동을 많이 하는 지휘자중에서 가장 좋아하는 사람은 케르키엪흐(Gergiev)이다.) 그는 찰스 문치와 카라얀 밑에서 지휘 공부를 하였고, 번스타인 밑에서 보조 지휘를 하였다. 대단한 것은, 이 오자와가 기억하는데 재능이 있어서, 그 긴 말러 교향곡들을 외워서 지휘한다는거다.
Seiji Ozawa is my favourite conductor still alive. It is very unfortunate that he is unwell at the moment to conduct regularly. He studied with Charles Münch and Herbert von Karajan and was later appointed as the assistant conductor of Leonard Bernstein in NY philharmonic. He was music director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra from 1965 to 1970, of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra from 1969 to 1976, and of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1973 to 2002. In 1994, the BSO dedicated its new Tanglewood concert hall "Seiji Ozawa Hall" in honor of his 20th season with the orchestra. Since 2002, he has been music director of the Vienna State Opera.
Ozawa is noted to have somewhat of a photographic memory, as he is able to memorize the scores of large works such as the Mahler Symphonies.
