The Vienna Philharmonic was definitely better at their dynamics and watching the conductor. At the slightest wave of his hand, the huge orchestra went whisper soft. Because people were looking at the conductor, it made these dynamic transitions work. I would also like to point out the bow work. At the melody everyone was in the lower half of the bow, using very little in order to get the right effect.
The Vienna Philharmonic evidently paid attention to the dynamics as they were very obvious unlike when we played. They also articulated very well and all notes were very clear and in tune.
The Vienna Philharmonic is amazing! Everyone, even the audience members, were in sync, with bowing and clapping. At :53, the dynamic change from forte to piano is impressive. We should try to mimic this. In addition, we should try to play more light and airy like them.
The Vienna Philharmonic is really what we should try and get to in terms of dynamics and speed (we should try!). Also, we should try and make sure that we all try and have good posture and presence in order to seem stately like this orchestra, and get the bowing correct in order to seem like we know what we're doing.
Wow they were a lot better then us, they were looking at the conductor every other note and the bowing was incredible, thats something that we can improve on! Their dynamics were great, and they were together the whole time. Also they got the audience into the show! They brought the music to life, and when they got quiet, it was faint and pretty and still stayed with the tempo, we tend to get slower or not play at all at piano. Also when it was time to be loud, they blew they crowd away! they were strong and never lost focus.
Wow the Vienna Philharmonic was amazing. As everybody has said, they had great dynamics. The biggest thing we should try to work on is the dynamics. If we get that down, the peice will be much better. Also, the Vienna Philharmonic had perfect articulation. Every single person's bow was going the same direction at every time.
Like everyone has already said, their dynamics were much better. If we all watched the conductor as they did, it would be a lot better. Also, their bows were all going in the same direction.
Wow the Vienna Philharmonic was really amazing. It was cool to hear them but we have a lot to improve on. Their articulation is very good and there bowing was also great. They looked up at the conductor very often and it really helps the orchestra as a whole. Their dynamics were also very good which is a result of looking up at the conductor.

The Vienna Philharmonic was really good! They played directly with the conductor. At the slight movement of his hands, they did something new, and exactly together. I think if we can get ourselves to look up more often, we can be ten times better, also if we look, the dynamics will be more pulled together. The dynamics in this piece makes it so great. Without them, or with mushy rushed dynamics, the song falls apart. We really need to work on them to make the orchestra feel more professional. Also, if we all practice with the Youtube video, we can be much better and get a lot more done at practices at school.
I agree with the majority of the previous comments that the Vienna Philharmonic is remarkable. Again, we need to pay more attention to changes in dynamics, as shown by this video as well as make the changes in dynamics more dramatic and noticeable. Throughout the piece the orchestra maintained eye contact with the conductor, something which could be approved upon in class. In general we should aim to bring the same enthusiasm the Vienna Philharmonic brought while playing this piece, to our own rehearsals of the Radetzky March.
The Vienna Phil is a pro orchestra, so of course they were a lot better comparing to us, however to make the music become "alive," they included all of the dynamics and had fun. The articulations made the notes clear and crisp, when were's were slacking and sloppy.
this piece essentially where we want to end up. their intonation is much more precise and accurate and they play at a nice, quick tempo. there is also a definite difference between when they play piano and forte. its the small changes that will make a big difference.
Obviously their dynamics are better they are professionals. But we could do a bit better. Miss Minnis could copy the conductor who was really funny. Also they spelled strauss straub, kind of weird. Bobby
The B represents a double S in German, therefore Strauss (in English) is spelled StraB in German. Also, I do plan to get audience particiaption at the concert---it's a little hard to get the white board in the classroom to want to do anything. It's pretty stubborn.
the difference is in the dynamics. Here you can really tell between quiet and soft. The potential energy is greater when the drop is greater, and potential energy is a good thing. The audience likes it, and they notice it. There is no reason we can't make it this drastic, so we should go for this.

The Vienna Philharmonic played together and you could tell by the uniform direction of their bows. We should definitly attempt to follow this example.
Obviously their dynamics are better they are professionals. But we could do a bit better. Miss Minnis could copy the conductor who was really funny. Also they spelled strauss straub, kind of weird.
