''Adagio in G minor'' was actually composed by Remo Giazotto based on Albinoni's ''Sonata in G minor''. A fragment of the ''Sonata'' was found admist the ruins of the Saxon State Library, Dresden, bombed by the Allies in World War II.<ref>

}}</ref>
While the piece was not actually written by Albinoni, it is commonly attributed to him.


It was played as a short jam before [[Time Is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]] on the earlier half of the 2006 tour. This arrangement featured Bellamy's Kaoss Pad, with Wolstenholme playing single notes on bass, and no percussion.
{{Riffs and jams/Adagio sostenuto}}


This made its return when Matt got his doubleneck Manson guitar. Currently he plays this as in the intro to Resistance with the top neck. This can be seen in the footage of [[Resistance (song)|Resistance]] at Glastonbury 2010.
{{Riffs and jams/L'Arena}}


The piece is transposed to A minor, the key of Resistance, for live performances.

<flashmp3>http://www.musewiki.org/images/Muse_-_Adagio_Sostenuto_(Sergei_Rachmaninov).mp3|rightbg=0xDDEEFF|leftbg=0xDDEEFF|bg=0xFFFFFF</flashmp3><br/>


A short section of the second movement of Rachmaninov's piano concert № 2. The piano outro in [[Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) (song)|"Neutron Star Collision"]] sounds very similar to the piano that is played beginning at :25 when the riff gets louder.
{{Riffs and jams/Bombtrack}}
<br>
<br>
<b>EDIT:</b> Adagio Sostenuto means 'Sustained & At Ease' and is the tempo and name of many classical pieces, not just Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2. The piece played at the Seattle gig is indeed the piece played at the end of Neutron Star Collision, but is not taken from Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2. It is only similar in it's tempo and pace. The piece is pretty much written by Matthew Bellamy. (Not sure how to edit this into the boxes above)

Revision as of 18:07, 1 September 2011

These may be included within set-lists by using various templates, which are listed here.

Adagio for Strings

Riff or jam
Name Adagio for Strings
Artist Samuel Barber
Writer/composer Samuel Barber
Appearance 9th April 2011, 28th August 2011

Adagio in G minor

Riff or jam

<flashmp3>http://musewiki.org/images/Adagio_In_G_Minor.mp3%7Crightbg=0xDDEEFF%7Cleftbg=0xDDEEFF%7Cbg=0xFFFFFF</flashmp3>

Adagio in G minor was actually composed by Remo Giazotto based on Albinoni's Sonata in G minor. A fragment of the Sonata was found amidst the ruins of the Saxon State Library, Dresden, bombed by the Allies in World War II.[1] While the piece was not actually written by Albinoni, it is commonly attributed to him.

It was played as a short jam before Time Is Running Out on the earlier half of the 2006 tour. This arrangement featured Bellamy's Kaoss Pad, with Wolstenholme playing single notes on bass, and no percussion. This made its return when Bellamy got his doubleneck Manson guitar. Currently, he plays this as in the intro to Resistance with the top neck. He can be seen doing so in the footage of Resistance at Glastonbury 2010.

The piece is transposed to A minor, the key of Resistance, for live performances.

Adagio sostenuto

Adagio sostenuto means 'Sustained & At Ease' and is the tempo and name of many classical pieces, not just Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2. The piece played at the Seattle gig is indeed the piece played at the end of Neutron Star Collision, but is not taken from Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2. It is only similar in it's tempo and pace. The piece is pretty much written by Matthew Bellamy.

A pro-shot video of the performance was released by Muse as a Christmas present, and given the title of Glasgow Jam.
