Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, but it keeps getting faster and higher - Score Video | Ruining Mozart
Переглядів 366Рік тому
It's the first movement of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, except for some reason, every 2-6 bars we're going to increase the tempo by 4 BPM and raise the key by a half step. I'm legitimately impressed that Noteperformer can play way higher than any of these instruments reasonably should.

Originally for ten-piece clarinet choir, I've since arranged it for concert band, and most recently string orchestra. This version features solo parts for violin and cello.

    Extremely boring if you're not a flute player. I guess WW quintets are more socialistic than strings, expecting a more even division of melodies, countermelodies, something. Also makes it more interesting for the audience if melodic lines move around among different instruments, taking advantage of the different voicings available from the ensemble.

    Sorry, the score does not match the recording. At times, it seems to be a tone higher than the recording and at other times, a semitone. I would love to play this piece and I was wondering whether you had a more accurate score, or if this score was really what was originally intended. Thank you

    • @sigmasquaredmusic
      @sigmasquaredmusic 10 місяців тому

      Well that's interesting, I had never noticed. The printed score is the source material, and that's what is accurate. The recording is more than twenty years old, and probably got pitch-shifted at some point, perhaps as a result of changing the sample rate or converting from analog to digital. Thanks for catching the error. If you shoot me an email to steve (at) sigmasquaredmusic dot com, I'll send you a PDF copy of the piece for free.
