I have enjoyed your work for several years. My little nephew was transfixed by it when I introduced him to it. It's therapeutic for my mother, who had a stroke. You have done a good thing.
I love these. I must have listened to this piece 100 times and I also performed it in my city symphony. But the visuals shift my attention to different parts and now I hear parts I never ever noticed before.
smalin, I have always been a fan of classical music, and looking at the animation has enabled me to appreciate these gems in a very unique and profound way, I have always admired composers such as Mozart, Debussy (to name a few) so very nice work!
I thought I saw this at your "to-don't list" so I never expected you will make a video of Marriage of Figaro. I was surprised I just saw this. What I'm really trying to say is that thank you very much for this video and I really like your video ever since, especially your Mozart (my most favorite composer) videos.
I've played this myself in a clarinet choir and have enjoyed it ever since. I have always enjoyed your great visuals to go along with great music and all I can say is keep up the excellent work!
This is incredibly fascinating, Mr. Malinowski. As a classical music student who is subjected to score readings on a regular basis (CLEFS ARGH), this really helps me put into perspective not only the registrations that Mozart employs but the way that he layers the same basic theme throughout; one can more easily see the same pattern of colored blocks appearing throughout in each register, and it is a more accessible way of looking at the music. Quite thrilling!
Mozart is my favorite! I love the way he makes the instruments almost dance, like from 1:23 the oboe leads in and the violin takes us on a brisk wonderful stroll on a beautiful day, looking at the wind blow through the trees and the birds flying from tree to tree. Wonderful visuals from his music.
This is so cool!! The animation gives an idea of a visual blue print for the music. I just cannot imagine how Mozart was able to sit down at his desk with paper and quill and create this music.
@JeOfFShAdOwSeEkEr07 Heh-heh, I'd forgotten it was on the "don't" list! I put it on that list before I knew where to license a recording, and before I'd figured out a decent way to synchronize animation to recordings I didn't make myself. Also, I was referring to the whole opera. Yesterday, somebody wrote me to suggest I do the overture, and I thought "yeah, I really should do it" and got down to work.
I swear, this piece, this magical and otherworldly piece, was at least several generations ahead of its time, far ahead, and OFF THE FUCKING CHARTS it was that far beyond the curve for its time, circa 1785. And when I say way ahead I'm talking possibly 200 years beyond what was already around during that time period 230 years ago, that's how extraordinary and outside of the box this amazing, exhilarating and sublime piece is, one whose timeless appeal and transcendent qualities will resonate forever. And beyond. And Mozart's musical gifts were divine, divine and spectacular, as clearly evidenced by the quirky enthusiasm of this particular piece, along with all the various pieces that work together quite seamlessly, and quite harmoniously, beautifully coordinated and marvelously tied in together as all the different elements and musical aspects were. This musical triumph, to say the least, and further proof that Mozart's musical compositional abilities and skills were easily preternatural, maybe even supernatural, such was the exquisite complexity and multi-layered intricacy along with the amazingly well coordinated musical dynamics of the vast majority of his works, AS all the various and disparate parts invariably played and melded together with this smooth grace, beauty and soothing melodic brilliance, ethereal and inspirational as it all was. Yes, Mozart was a musical God, this fearlessly and brilliantly experimental prodigy whose talents, unearthly and dazzling as they were, blossomed gloriously, and with this sweet, spellbinding magnificence, as this gracefully rollicking, flawlessly acrobatic, seamlessly undulating and beautifully fervent piece sharply demonstrates, astonishingly fresh and original as it sounds over two centuries after its initial premiere in Vienna. AMAZING, AND AMAZINGLY MESMERIZING!!
Ahh... This brings back wonderful memories of the first opera (actually, this is an operetta, but oh well) I ever saw. Which was last year. Now I'm hooked to it, it brings such a thrill to me, which I rarely find in 'only' the music.
Thank you so much. You let us hear and see music the same time. So wonderfull. :-) Is there any chance you will do the overture of Mozarts Zauberflóte in future? Bye from the Netherlands
Esta musica fue grande en su època , ahora y siempre ....por que la musica de verdad surge del alma del creador, no esta sudyugada a los generos y modas fugaces pendientes del mercado frio y consumista ...la verdadera musica surge de la vida , del corazon no de ningun genero musical ...Mozart se separo de la corte y eso le hizo componer mejor mùsica que si se hubiera quedado al amparo del monarca ...viva Mozart y toda la grandeza de su mùsica por siempre.
What colours or shapes go with each instrument. I was having a lot of trouble following which color was playing the bassoon line, for instance. At some points, it was the thin purple lines; at other points, the hazy lime green lines.
Hey, I've seen some of your vids and i got to say that is quite incredible all the work you've done. I admire you for that. Any chance that you do marche funebre or ballade 1 of Chopin? Cheers from Paris!
Awesome, and great tune too! Question: can you make a "beginner viewer's" version that displays and follows just one instrument at a time (say, the violin)?
i really like this video. i have seen some of ur vids including the moonlight sonata which i am working on. btw, what level is claude debussy's clair de lune?
A small number of people would pay for it, it's true. But I'd rather develop the interesting parts of the software (and use it), and as a product, it wouldn't generate enough income to pay somebody else to code, debug, market, support and maintain it.
Hmm..I don't know how to take the new animation style. When the bars are a little radiant....is it representing the fortes or some kind of motives? *shrug* o well.. I love the music
@jeunehomme9 I'm sorry i didn't wanted to make an absolute for his music. I'm just in a state where i find this piece not very difficult or even disharmonious like the pieces I'm currently listening to (Brahms, Bruckner and Chopin) Again: no offense meant.
It depends what you mean. The visuals are created directly from the score, and enough of what's in the score is represented accurately by the visuals that if you, say, wrote a program to convert the visuals into a score, and played that score, it would be pretty close to the original. Playing from the visuals is not feasible for human performers. If you simply draw some pretty patterns and turn them into notes, it probably wouldn't sound like anything you'd enjoy listening to.
Thank you so much for the reply. So you are saying that if you feed the "visual" score into a musical device, like a multi-function keyboard, that could "read" it, much like a player piano reads a scroll, it would sound pretty close, but not for a human performer. So could you use a "drag and drop" type program with different colored blocks representing different instruments and "notes" and develop a score that way? Just curious. Thanks again for the reply. These look really neat, Now I can't hear classical music without thinking of how it would look! I wonder if this is close to how the composers may have seen it in their head when they wrote it..Nice work.
There are many music editing programs that use bar-graph/piano-roll notation that's similar to this, and some people use them to write music. However, this would be like a person who couldn't read or write using a drag-and-drop system (where each phoneme is a colored block) to write a novel. There are many advantages to learning how to communicate using standard music notation.
OHHHHHHH Thats whwre that came from, qow im oblivious, mind blown, *boom* also Mozart really likes his 4 sixteenth notes then a half, or however long they are
(1) I'm not doing this for the money.
(2) If there were money in it, somebody else would be doing it.
Mozart didn't do it for money either
@@hellolastname9556 You’re mistaken; Mozart wrote lots of music for money.
@@smalin well he had a huge dedication and passion too , you can feel the love in the music
@@smalin btw I'm a fan since 2010 😊
@@hellolastname9556 Writing music was his job. Many musicians wrote music that the upper class commissioned to be written.
You might want to check out my video of the last movement of Mozart's "Jupiter" symphony.
I love this overture. Its energetic, grand, and beautiful. The perfect way to strart an opera.
I have enjoyed your work for several years. My little nephew was transfixed by it when I introduced him to it. It's therapeutic for my mother, who had a stroke. You have done a good thing.

This is total genius. Mozart left us inspiring music for us to cherish throughout our lifetime.

This music is round and round in my head!! I'm so addicted this music LOL

@smalin, Well, I just have to wait then.;-) Still, lots of beautiful things to see on your site.
Thanks for them all.

@tanyc1173 That's so that when two instruments are playing the same pitch, you can see both of them easily.
@keblemilkbitch The bassoon should always be the fuzzy lime green lines. The strings are always the thinnest lines.
I love this song!! I'm playing this for my high school orchestra, so cool.

I've played this back in high school , so thanks for bringing back memories
This is Solti with the London Philharmonic Orchestra! It's a great recording and it's somewhere here on UA-cam.
Ahh... This brings back wonderful memories of the first opera (actually, this is an operetta, but oh well) I ever saw. Which was last year. Now I'm hooked to it, it brings such a thrill to me, which I rarely find in 'only' the music.
The music starting at 3:09 is some of the best music ever written in the history of mankind.
1:25 is fantastic
Loved the sound quality, man... thanks for uploading!
@lordofwar75 See "Could you please ..." in the FAQ.
I think this guy just invented the classical music version of guitar hero!
cringe
MY TEACHER SAID THAT TODAY WOAH
Awesome! I love this one. I still remember the time(s) I saw it in the play.
Thank you so much. You let us hear and see music the same time. So wonderfull. :-)
Is there any chance you will do the overture of Mozarts Zauberflóte in future?
Bye from the Netherlands
@SSteinnes91 Thanks for the reminder.

Smalin, meu genial Amigo,sempre se superando na mágica musical.
Adoro você pela alegria deliciosa que oferece!
Seja muito feliz!
This orerture will be listen to until the end of time and behind...This music is in a super position...it is sad and happy at the same time...
One of my favorite overtures :D Thanks!!
These videos would be a great thing to put on in the background of a dinner party.
This is your best work so far. (Talking about the animation, tho the music is great too of course)
@lindzyIsAwesome I don't think you mean "literally" literally.
What colours or shapes go with each instrument. I was having a lot of trouble following which color was playing the bassoon line, for instance. At some points, it was the thin purple lines; at other points, the hazy lime green lines.
Fabulously joyful music, wonderful video great stuff! :))

@receivejesusnow It's on my web site.
Awesome, and great tune too! Question: can you make a "beginner viewer's" version that displays and follows just one instrument at a time (say, the violin)?
Love it. That just how complex song like that are
You could release as creative commons as freeware like on Soundforge like Audacity,so its software that's never finished.
@refuseit You should probably get the free player software and do it yourself.
Please tell me this is also entering the exciting playlist (I've hopefully learned to spell it right this time).
For every year that Mozart has not lived there must be at least one masterpiece not written.
Just one?!! LOL!!! The guy was a masterpiece machine!!
the music looks so freaking neat!!!
+TheLakshmiLotus Actually the opera from that scene was The Abduction from the Seraglio
i really like this video. i have seen some of ur vids including the moonlight sonata which i am working on. btw, what level is claude debussy's clair de lune?

1:52 is pog
Maybe synchronized 2d (static structure)+ 3d(dynamic floating elements and intensity) technique would be even more synesthetic?
Is there any chance we might see Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries?
Si scrive in italiano: Le nozze di Figaro.
Hmm..I don't know how to take the new animation style.
When the bars are a little radiant....is it representing the fortes or some kind of motives?
*shrug* o well..
I love the music
What is the K or KV number for this piece? I can't find it in the title or the FAQ.
@demonfist1 Mozart was respected when he lived.
Heaven sent!
Un Genio della Musica 👍
the music is so perfect :D
Man...it`s just awesome
great i was really waiting for this one
This... is amazing.
I too would enjoy seeing a video of 'Ride of the Valkyries'
@smalin, is this song copyrighted? Because I was going to use this song on my new video on UA-cam for Canada Day.
The composition is not copyrighted, but the recording is.
Incredible!
I like pretending that i'm the meistro. it's so much fun.
Stephen malinowski, that is quite the name
My grandparents were born in Poland; their children were all born in the US.
best version...the power.
Lovely, wonderful music. :)))
@Calvinios I agree! And whenever I hear that song I can't help think of the Bugs Bunny version, "Kill da Wabbit!!" :D
Pretty good! Now let's hear the rest of the four hours!
SECONDED!
@jeunehomme9 I'm sorry i didn't wanted to make an absolute for his music. I'm just in a state where i find this piece not very difficult or even disharmonious like the pieces I'm currently listening to (Brahms, Bruckner and Chopin) Again: no offense meant.
Beautiful!!!
My favorite part is from 1:12 to 1:16 .
I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS!!
Fantastic
Excellent.
Thank you for those.
Excellent
Awesome!!!! :)
Magnificent - thanks
Amazing.
these are great. Kudos. is it possible to create the music from the visual?
It depends what you mean. The visuals are created directly from the score, and enough of what's in the score is represented accurately by the visuals that if you, say, wrote a program to convert the visuals into a score, and played that score, it would be pretty close to the original.

pretty colors
one of my favorite songs of all time
Too bad it's not a song.
Its a piece
@blizzardballz I'm sorry, i thought i was the only one whose mind ran back to Trading Places when they heard this
Next: Overture to Don Giovanni
(Yes i've read the FAQ it's ok if you don't want to do it)
To: smalin
Even Mozart himself would be envious of what you have done. EXCELLENT JOB.
How is this even possible?
It's not.
smalin Touché
*"Too many notes!"*
oo i love the flute... o i love mozart!!
Really great!!!!
@msfattytroll That's exactly what i thought, and nobody ever remembers that part!
uyyy es hermoso esto
*Mad Conductor mode ON*
imagine hearing this in 1786. no wonder some call him the first rockstar
