hi smalin,
bethoven in this anecdote even did say ‘ocean’
‘strom’ is just one of those big rivers
which end in an ocean …

>u can download this and just open a midi file and it will animate it, so this guy didnt do anything special
Except that “this guy” also did the performance (that ended up in the MIDI file) and wrote the animation software. You may not like the result but, good or bad, I am completely responsible for it.

When I heard this anecdote about Beethoven, the quote was “Er ist kein Bach; er ist ein große Strom” (he is no brook, he is a great river).

See the production notes (under “more info”).

This will do quite nicely!

Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. You have to love it. There’s videos of it all over YouTube.

“horrible recording, the musicality was lost in this piece.”
its an midi. aka, its computer simulated. and while a computer is great for playing notes correctly with seed as no difficulty, they are unable to capture the true essence of a piece.

The ‘three B’s’ are a good place to start (Bach, Brahms, and Beethoven. We already have Bach here) You might also like Pachelbel (Pachebel’s Canon, most people have heard it at least once, it’s quite famous)

I’ve been doing this my whole life with everything without even noticing until about a year ago, I’m glad it’s not just me.

This is interesting concept, because I actually almost see music in my head nearly the way it is displayed in the video, some times, and certain patterns do emerge like this but I never gave it much thought until now.

Every recording on YouTube is horrible. (unless you are referring to the actual quality pre-upload, then I can agree)

This is cool!

horrible recording, the musicality was lost in this piece. I love classical, and performing it is wonderful, biut this recording…ugh. Not good

The part in the end looked almost like a signature.

that was amazing.
February 17th, 2008 at 2:41 am
me too, i played it on guitar and i was like O_O woah that’s ultimate rock!!!
February 19th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
thats true considering its just like grand staff, in that, that it has every note marked out and for how long held
February 20th, 2008 at 6:36 am
i somehow want to play that in guitarhero 😛
February 23rd, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Awesome!!! Just awesome. Speechless.

Would be amazing to analize thy connection between thy melody and thy symetry. since we can notice’d it is some sort of pattern indeed.
Perhaps if there is a symetric pattern we could theoreticaly marvelous pieces through that as well.
We mean to utilaze it as a tool.
Or to check a piece we could check it’s symetry concord.
Thanks much.

But whoever wrote the _tool_ did something special. For someone who can’t read music in standard notation, this reveals the structure (as the Francophone commentator points out above). Very cool tool. Thanks for posting.

what a great composition
