Classical Music VS Video Game Soundtracks - Can You tell the difference? ⚔️ 

I already have it. I've had it since I was 5

​@@brothercuber3288same, but I developed it a year ago

Why isn’t it working!!!??? 😭

i want my perfect pitch 😭😭

@@randompersonh Dont worry guys it will come :)

Maybe I just need a harder list😂

@@ViolinMechaniclol lets whip out the Beethoven piano sonata number 21 or something (idk if that even exists)

I also recognized Dance Macabre. I played the violin beginning in mini ensemble last year and listened to it a lot because of that.

For some reason the arise one was the easiest for me. The second I heard the piano my brain was 100% confident it's video game music. Don't know why, honestly. The only one I got wrong was the chaconne but that might be because I don't listen to baroque music much

The fact that it was so simple also tripped me up cuz im like "well, it has to be something modern like Arvo Pärt's spiegel im spiegel.

For me it was the when the piano came in. You can't get that "soft" sound while also have it stand out that much if it were a live orchestra (unless you do some multi-mic stuff, but either way there's mixing involved). The reverb is quite audible too. Further more, the melody and harmonies did not feel like the romantic style, at least those of Ravel and Debussy. It also just sounds like it was written to be a soundtrack; once you listen to many of them (of the same style) you start hearing some of the similarities, like their orchestration for example.

Yeah, re-listening to it, I can hear it too!

Danse Macabre is very popular for the opening violin tritones. not for that harp :/

I was wondering who else would notice lol

are you violin 1 or 2?

We played Danse macabre last year lol

i play double bass lol@@ViolinMechanic

True the acoustics and mixing was sus.

Thank you so much for subscribing:) Glad you're enjoying the content. Ill definitely check him out!

How many did you get right?

@@ViolinMechanic I got 2 wrong and 1 was unanswered because I had kids in the background and the answer came up before I guessed. Lol

Thanks, I truly appreciate it:)

I was thinking the same too! It was the orchestration that tripped me up for Danse Macabre

Great idea! What song should I cover?

if i were to lob a song idea it would have to be a song i have been practicing called Johans Waltz, though i only recommend this if you have no fear of potential copyright as its from a videogame from around 2010. otherwise you by far have a wider knowledge of music pieces than i do so would say go for any songs you havent played before, and if youre daring enough, for any songs you find that you have not even heard yet! :D

Hahahaha was wondering if someone would notice :)

Thank you I appreciate it! Yes! These are definitely on my to do list!

The COD was tricky, it really sounded like contemporary music.

Maybe at 500 likes:))

Skyrim has amazing soundtracks!

Thanks so much for the suggestion, yeah I've been noticing that the quality of audio is mediocre, ill try to back up a little more next time:)

Im sorryyyyy :)

@@ViolinMechanic it's alright ahahaha

It sure did sound like Bruckner:)

Haha sometimes it’s the accompaniment that gets me

I was like, "What the F k ? Nah, he must be taking the piss " 🤣😂😂😂@@ViolinMechanic

Vitali Chaconne is one of my favourite pieces!!

Ooo thanks for the suggestion, ill go check it out!

Hahaha yeah it seems like those ones were cursed lol

It was the Danse Macabre. I didn't actually recognize it since I haven't heard it recently. Btw that second one was pretty hard but it seemed to me a little bit more video game-like. Anyway it was actually a great video. Keep it up. P.S. Still can't believe you didn't recognize the opening lines of vitali chaconne

Please

I don't lol

No 😅

Yes, because they are unaware of the proper pronunciation of anything.

No. I pronounce it like Vagner. Never recall hearing it pronounced Wagner with a "w" sound unless the person was joking around. Plus, isn't he Canadian? Unless you mean American as in North American.

@@scabbedwings6548 ah, in that case let's make it North, Central and South so as to be all-encompassing :p

I know... I would have instantly recognized it if I hear the opening tritone violin intervals lol

I've never seen him rated at all, so I guess that's correct.
