Great news! What is the minimum age to attend? I'd love to bring my daughter. She liked the concert at Soi Siam and asks for violins over dinner ever since...

I may be mistaken, but I don't think there are violins in Beethoven's fifth symphony.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._5_%28Beethoven%29#Instrumentation

Instrumentation

The symphony is scored for piccolo (fourth movement only), two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets in B♭ and C, two bassoons, contrabassoon or double bassoon (fourth movement only), two horns in E♭ and C, two trumpets, three trombones (alto, tenor, and bass, fourth movement only), timpani (in G-C) and strings.

Edit: just notice that strings means violins, however I mean to remember that violins play only a minor part in the whole symphony.

It's six. The main point is that she can keep still and not distract other people in the audience.

There should be plenty of violins.

Good idea. Succinylcholine if all else fails.

A much better use of the building than what normally happens there.

I thought you're supposed to listen to music, not wiki it. Can I borrow your wikiplayer?

It's classical ennit. I mean all classical's got fiddles in it, no?

Well, all full symphony orchestras 'got fiddles', at least.

Bach's piano works have a significant lack of a string section ("fiddles")

Most all piano works are fiddle-free, regardless of who wrote it. This is about Beethoven's 5th and Anthony's new wikiplayer.

Tchaikovsky did something for piano and fiddles. Not sure whether it's available for wiki players.

[Anthony5]

I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing here, maybe I should do a wiki?

[NanLaew]

I will (still) be out of the country this weekend so if anyone is attending this, can you come back and post about it?

Thanks,

Can do. But there should be something about it in the local newspapers.

Great concert it was! Loved the Hindemith piece and the solo bassist for the second piece was fantastic. Beethoven was also played very well. Too bad that only few people showed, plenty of empty seats.

Hope there will be more concerts like that soon. The venue was perfect for a classical concert.

[ThaiBob]

I wish I could have gone, the holiday traffic made it impractical. I have gone to other classical concerts at Tiffany's and I like the venue. Hope to go in the future.

Hadn't noticed yet it took place in the afternoon, may be the reason why it was low show.

Well, it was said on the concert poster....

Most all piano works are fiddle-free...

Only piano sonatas are without strings.

Piano trios are often accompanied with a violin, viola or a cello.

Piano concerts have a whole symphony orchestra with lots of strings go along with.

I understand, my point was actually that I consider afternoon a wrong timing for a classical concert.

Excellent. And what brand wikiplayer do you use?

Good to know so here's hoping that there's more classical adventures for Pattaya in the pipeline. Maybe their advertising needs to kick up a notch too.

I was on the way with my wife and 2 kids, but had to give up due to the traffic.

I think they picked a bad weekend, the traffic made it impossible for us.

I play my own concert grand.

I use an IPad2 with a wikipedia app. Is this the same like a "wikiplayer"?
