My nephew is now 3 and a half and still loves your videos. Please continue to post because it is a great way to introduce kids to music. Especially in an age where the video is just as important as the music.

@SimonGeraedts 5 лет назад

The first minute of this piece is one of the most brillant works of music ever made by man.

@chrisguevara 13 лет назад

Please keep this up. My 2 year old nephew loves your videos and your music selections. He can literally spend a couple of hours every day listening/watching your videos. I rented him a piano and he toys with it everyday too. He is a music lover, as are you. Thanks and please keep posting!!!

@EtienneAbelin 13 лет назад

@hoffela I totally agree. When we recorded this, we couldn't dream that some years later someone like smalin would be able to amplify what we intended in such an incredible way. Thank you smalin for what you do for music.

@Sim882 10 лет назад

this must be contender for greatest movement ever - why isn't it more famous? Dramatic/tragic but incredibly warm in places.

@smalin 10 лет назад

Have you listened to all of Brahms' chamber music? (www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=205986)

@ihtfp2003 10 лет назад

Try the third movement of this piece... :)

@kenrickdennis6701 10 лет назад

smalin It'd be great if you can make a video for Mahler's piano quartet in A minor. This is a beautiful rendition by the way!

@smalin 10 лет назад

kenrick dennis See "Could you please ..." in the FAQ.

@DTevr89 14 лет назад

I really like how you separated strings. Really makes everything stand out.

@matekon2 14 лет назад

It is impossible to dislike this diamant. A lot of intense emotions

@PatDaBalls 13 лет назад

this visual representation has made me view his piece completely differently and love it

@smalin 13 лет назад

@CaymenV Eva-Maria Zimmermann, the pianist in this recording, is a professional pianist. She's currently a member of ZOFO, a piano duo. Her husband is also a musician, with the Del Sol String Quartet.

@smalin 11 лет назад

Myself when I was eight years old (so that I could explain to him how being a musician works and what his strengths and weaknesses were). Other than that, my choice would be to visit one of the composers that got bad medical advice and tell them how to steer clear of one of their life-shortening mistakes.

@smalin 14 лет назад

@OobooChoo Depends what you count. I could sight-read the piano part of this the first time I tried, but it took more than forty years of playing to get to that level. It took eight or ten hours to enter the score into a notation program. It took a few weeks to write the animation software, but I'd been learning programming for twenty years. It took a couple of hours to set up the scripts to do the rendering and edit the movie, and four or five hours (of computer time) to run the rendering.

@rrsolo 9 лет назад

the animated score is such a great idea.

@smalin 14 лет назад

@freddiecintron Yes, this was done by splitting the MIDI file into two, one for strings and one for piano, and then rendering them separately.

@GovernerOfBurningHam 12 лет назад

My favourite piece of all time

@MichaelSato1 14 лет назад

This is GREAT - seeing the strings versu the Piano. Wonderful and thank you.

@lilcrabbybabby 13 лет назад

One of your best! I have been watching for a while now...but I'm always so in awe of what you put out that I honestly forget to comment, this is pure awesome. Amazing!

@smalin 12 лет назад

Welcome to the world of Brahms. I would recommend you listen to, among other things, the second and third movements of his piano quartet in C minor (opus 60).

@smalin 13 лет назад

@T42nk The plan is to have a plug-in architecture. The base software (host/player) will not be open source, but the specification for plug-ins will be public, and there will be open source sample plug-ins. The main plug-in type will be an animation renderer; each style of animation (like the "bars" and "balls" used in this video) will be the responsibility of a given plug-in.

@smalin 13 лет назад

@T42nk After years of doing other things, I'm getting back into "development mode" for my visualization software. I expect this to result in some changes in how my RU-vid channel connects to the rest of what I'm doing. The time scale for this is on the order of a year ...

@Myau76 11 лет назад

A work of a genius

@smalin 14 лет назад

@armandosreis Yes, you could make a case for that. On the other hand, the string sound is more "changing," and the piano sound is more "blocky" (or "chunky"). It's not a completely representative notation. Hopefully I can do better in the future.

@DragonflyLessThan3 14 лет назад

Smalin,I love you for making these animations + MIDI's, they're perfect!

@8fht9 14 лет назад

This is beginning to look like a great framework to represent texture. If we can add subtleties such letting brightness correlate to dynamics, varying ways the circles work to represent different techniques for the strings, i.e. the circles in another expression for pizzicatos, and using a few more shapes to represent the woodwinds, the brass, the percussions (timpani can be little spots of fireworks or something) with different colors representing different instruments, then it'd be AWESOME.

@BloodSprite-tan 9 лет назад

it's been long enough this damn fine. it's the melody is stuck in my head. i can't not listen to it enough.

@charissamarluk 12 лет назад

not only do i adore the music... but the colors and patterns the visual geometry you create ... ***sigh***

@smalin 11 лет назад

It's software I wrote myself (not available commercially).

@yjalto 13 лет назад

LOVE it. this should be appreciated and more spread wide. brilliant work

@Dreamer00 14 лет назад

I have fallen in love with this piece, I think.

@smalin 14 лет назад

@dussekfan To know him is to love him.

@smalin 11 лет назад

Yes, opus numbers are the more common way to refer, with a sequence of numbers, to a composer's works. Some composers have sequences that were designed specifically for them (mostly, because they lived before opus numbers were commonly used), such as the BWV numbers for Bach or the K numbers for Scarlatti.

@m1290h 12 лет назад

Brahms Violin sonata in G major has to be one of the most amazing repertoire ever written. His Piano quintet, Piano concerto No. 1, and Violin Concerto are also my favourites!!! Hope you enjoy!!

@justYouDaNcE 12 лет назад

You can actually see the music... It's just amazing

@smalin 11 лет назад

I did; it's on my DVD (hint, hint).

@MrBIGTUNA54 11 лет назад

Easily the best way to show the intense complexity of classical music. Thanks smalin!

@Exzeluke 14 лет назад

Thank you, smalin. This is a great combination of bars and circles, and I like the fading of the circles. One of your best, IMO. cheers, exzeluke

@smalin 12 лет назад

@rhcp4565 It depends what you mean by "hear." As you say, truly hearing requires attention; the video can guide your attention to things you wouldn't have paid attention to otherwise. If you read the comments on my videos, you'll see remarks like "I've listened to this piece all my life, but watching your video, I heard things I've never heard before." My videos are used in music classes all over the world for precisely that reason.

@karlpoppins 12 лет назад

please upload more brahms piano quartets/quintets... just a freaking genius this one!!!

@smalin 14 лет назад

@TheImpressed Yes, that's the nature of perception: we interpret new things in terms of the experiences we've had in the past. I haven't played any videogames (at least, not in the last twenty-five years), and I've listened to a lot of the music Brahms composed before this (and to the music he was raised on), so my associations, and therefore my experience, is likely very different from yours.

@smalin 14 лет назад

@TheLordRoman I haven't done the second or fourth movements yet.

@Dreamer00 14 лет назад

@TheImpressed Personally, it reminds me of rain. First, there's the still before it starts raining, the the sound of the thunder storm rolling in slowly...and then suddenly, the thunder starts and the rain comes pouring down. The weather shifts from thunderstorm to rain shower, and to thunderstorm again, and then slowly dies away. :)

@spolariton 8 лет назад

fantastic! brahms was rocking it

@XArcane 14 лет назад

This is brilliant, truly brilliant; I'm a huge fan of your work. I think it would be an ideal experiment to run the bar notation perpendicular to the animated circles. It could create a truly outstanding effect, and add an extra dimension to your animation.

@rhcp4565 12 лет назад

This is just such great music man.

@smalin 14 лет назад

@omarchidofine See the "Could you please" item in the FAQ.

@TomDePlonty 12 лет назад

@rhcp4565 There isn't one "true" way of listening. Eyes closed, open while watching performers, following a score, watching this video - they are all different experiences that can clarify various aspects of the music. Since we can listen to the piece more than once, all of these experiences are available to us. As I pianist (who has played this quartet!) I found the video interesting and illuminating.

@Waltzeminor 11 лет назад

this piece have some special.i cant explain

@smalin 12 лет назад

That depends what you mean by "form."

@tigereyes5 12 лет назад

I LOVE the animated score! Very clever and impressive :)

@smalin 14 лет назад

@dayne120 Right.

@Pacopepeim 10 лет назад

Gracias. El efecto es... hipnótico.

@Nostrum84 14 лет назад

@xxAsteriskxx The size depends on how long that particular note is being played. It bugs me, though. I much rather prefer only the bars by themselves. They make more sense and leave more room for the mind to wander around listening to a masterpiece like this. :)

@smalin 14 лет назад

@AEFic An inside joke might be amusing for insiders, but it's the outsiders who need to get the message. I'm thinking of providing a special interface for my videos that would deal with this problem ... we shall see ...

@CrankyB1tsch 11 лет назад

it's like the DNA of the melody :) wonderfull

@Seewedward 13 лет назад

a small part from 01:24 like a horror movie's music. Breathtaking!

@Waltzeminor 10 лет назад

infinite sadness. even with a broken heart I feel every key on my chest

@smalin 13 лет назад

@chrisguevara I hope to.

@T42nk 13 лет назад

@smalin May I have some insight in your plans? Have you considered releasing your software as open source?

@Trunkspowsword 11 лет назад

Hey Mr.Stephen. If you had the ability to turn back time and meet just one composer, who would that be?

@omarchidofine 14 лет назад

haven't you thought about "picturing" Verdi's Requiem? At least the Dies Irae? It would be just MARVELOUS! I hope you read my comment. And again, thanks for this! =)

@AEFic 14 лет назад

@smalin I actually prefer the way you have it now- it's less cumbersome- you can easily see the strings against the piano, and, from a cellist's perspective, I tend to feel that the balls better represent the feel of the bow and fingerboard.

@pola0049 11 лет назад

Your visualization is the best I have ever seebn as it corresponds to a score. What programme do you use for that? With best wishes yours sincerely Dr. Thomas Pola

@romanitza24 11 лет назад

Why not also the forth? I couldn't find it with animation :D I particularly like the animation for the Capriccio and the Second movement of the quartet, it helps you understand better the music, it gives you a very clear and visual picture of it. Thanks! I love your videos.

@TFreckle 14 лет назад

@smalin I know it might not be possible - but perhaps if you enhanced the software to allow for a curvy-block notation. But I don't know - and it might not look good,

@PirateBug59 12 лет назад

If I ever start to stereotype someone because of the music I hear them listening to, I'm going to think of this comment. :) You are awesome.

@franielee38 14 лет назад

@AJMurdoc 12 лет назад

This may be a dumb question, but what would you call the form of this piece?

@athair937 11 лет назад

thank you very much!!

@MisuMakkusu 12 лет назад

@felipemp93 14 лет назад

@smalin from who?

@brander18 12 лет назад

Normally i'm listing to 50 cent,T.I. Lil Wayne, Rick Ross. When im studying i really like to listen to brahms. :-)

@athair937 11 лет назад

Excuse me for asking...but: by opus 60 you mean something like that of BWV in the case of Bach (i ask this because i would be glad to be able to just recall a simple number to, later on, listen to some Brahms music...) Thanks...!

@smalin 14 лет назад

@felipemp93 From Google/RU-vid.

@deadat12 13 лет назад

no one dislike this!!

@rhcp4565 12 лет назад

@smalin Wow that is really cool man. And yes I DID like the video--seeing the pitch of the notes via height on the screen was pretty cool, I agree with you. But still, Imo the best way is to just feel the music in your soul and ears. In the words of John Frusciante, "Its like I'm in the 4th dimension; no images; only pure sounds, and vibrations.." Ya know what I mean? Amazing video nonetheless though bro.

@AEFic 14 лет назад

Most rewarding reaction of anyone I've showed this to: My friend P.T., at 1:20... "Fuuuuuuck..."

@OobooChoo 14 лет назад

so what takes longer, learning the actual piece or making the animation for it? haha

@brazilamaral 12 лет назад

@rhcp4565 it helps to understand the musical structure

@Tayroy 14 лет назад

@MrPiano1994 I think the composer put that in to kind of break the piece up just a little, me having no experience in music theory just guessing though, kind of like going from the first part of a song to the next. also tying up the ending and the beginning which to me sounds nearly the same except with more strings. again just me ,little to no practice in music theory, thinking about the piece and hoping to prove a little of useful input.

@eduardoc4295 11 лет назад

you have the midi of that music ?

@deadat12 13 лет назад

@smalin it does but... it may lag the viewers =/

@T42nk 13 лет назад

@smalin Maybe you could put a box in every video that links to a tutorial how to make such a video. Maybe build a community that does this kind of visualizations, so that "almost everything" is visualized. I know that it is much work but maybe you can give it some thought, maybe find someone to help you or could do this kind of work for you.

@sebastianrc 12 лет назад

Is there any, more haunting melody than the one at 4:00?

@MaxPace89 13 лет назад

Epic! All epic! That's a shame you won't do Carmina Burana of Orf. :(

@stefomate 12 лет назад

@chrisguevara your nephew will grow up to be a fantastic pianist :)

@TheFranzSchubert1 11 лет назад

Not a dumb question, it's smart of you to want to learn and brave of you to ask.

@unashamedaccompanist 11 лет назад

That is because Brahms is in love/close relationship with his friends wife Clara Schumann and his friend (Robert Schumann) was just put in an asylum. He wanted to be true to his friend but still loved Clara. There are also literary references to Goethe's novel 'Werther' and 'Werther' is often a parenthetical or nickname title to this work. It comes back at the end because he is writing in Sonata form and that's what the form dictates.

@armandosreis 14 лет назад

Shouldn't the graphs be reversed? after all the strings have a more "lasting" sound than the piano which actually has a stronger attack tempo.

@AJMurdoc 12 лет назад

Such as sonata, double variation, or canon, for instance.

@rhcp4565 12 лет назад

great work on the video. However, I disagree with some comments below me. Music is purely auditory, so saying seeing the video helps you "hear" it cannot be true. TRULY hearing it requires devoted attention to amazing music. Just my opinion.
