    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.

    @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.

  • @taylorahern3755

    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!!

    these are great. Kudos. is it possible to create the music from the visual?

    • @smalin
      @smalin  8 років тому

      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.

    • @ericprosser1234
      @ericprosser1234 8 років тому

      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.

    • @smalin
      @smalin  8 років тому +1

      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.
