    FAQ
    Q: Who are the performers in this recording?
    A: Sorry, I don't know. I licensed this from Premium Beat, who represented it as a recording by a group that preferred this recording to remain anonymous. Later, it turned out that the recording had been pirated, and PB had been swindled. PB refunded my license. I never learned whose recording it was. It may happen that TH-cam will ask me to remove the video (since I don't have a valid license). So, enjoy it while you can.
    Q: I appreciate the animated graphical scores you make; how can I help?
    A: There are many ways you can support my work:
    free: watch my videos, like them, and share them with friends
    ¢¢¢: buy me a coffee ko-fi.com/musanim (one-time)
    $$$: become a Patreon patron: / musanim (per-video/per-month)
    !!!!: underwrite the production of a video: www.musanim.com/underwriting
    Q: Could you please make a video of _______?

    It's a battle between the composer (ensemble) and the piano. The composer knows what he wants. The piano first imitates, then beats and finally mocks the idea. By the end, the ensemble has no option but to admit defeat. This is one of the bset pieces of music I have ever heard

      Try to listen to it completely (second movement is one of most famous Mozart moves, If we consider this movement as "conflict" as you say, second would be an "affair" between piano and orchestra) , Valentina Lisitsa's 2012 concert in Germany is a good one.

      I'm no expert neither, But when I started to listening to classical music 2 years ago, I found out that I shouldn't waste my ear to anything cheaper because we only live once. The emotion and genius behind these notes (without words!) gives you states of mind that is unique and unbelievable. These geniuses created their compositions scientific which is skies above what we hear today.

    The little repeating trill motif that mozart plays with is so good. The way he uses both major and minor key variations of it. Closing the virtuoso piano section with what is completely bombastic, extreme version of the motif is a piece of insane genius.

    I love watching these... it’s so inspiring to view this from a perspective that only naively and innocently understands music. There’s no way a totally sane person can come up with music this complex and original.. the notation is so incredible.. it almost looks like someone copying and pasting midi notation but then there’s so much unpredictability in the patterns.. it makes me wonder how much rational thinking is involved when coming up with so many sequences, because for me, my best musical moments come from improvising and working towards sequences that come from that... and it’s easy to create so much amazing music now.. and something this complex was made hundreds of years ago. blows my mind.

    I was blown away by the candenza, especially because at first I thought Mozart himself composed the candenza and it was sounding very romantic...then I realised that it was Beethoven-composed (which made much more sense). It's funny the kind of musical shift that happens between the mozart part and the beethoven part.

    • @hollowchatter7429
      @hollowchatter7429 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mozart's cadenza - if he wrote one - has not survived, but it has become customary to perform Beethoven's cadenza in most performances. However, historically informed performers like Robert Levin will often improvise their own cadenzas in the style of Mozart and his contemporaries. There are a number of such recordings on TH-cam of this sort.

    • @mylocz643
      @mylocz643 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Although most his works were major, he did explore minor keys. Some major works have movements in minor, also major movements explore minor as well. He explored mostly major keys, because in the classical era they were considered more perfect than minor keys. Because of that even the minor works sometimes ended in major, it was considered most perfect resolution (Piano Concerto no 20 is an example of that - third movement ends in major).

    Bravo and thank you, sir! As it is with all your graphical music score videos, superbly done! I thought there was already software that would create these (there should be), until I read your description of how much work is required to create each piece. Just the synchronization alone, every note...I can only imagine.
    To anyone curious how these are done, read the musanim link in the description.

    • @smalin
      @smalin  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      BTW, I don't have to synchronize every note, because the music is already self-synchronized (e.g. all the notes in a chord happen at the same time). I only have to synchronize the "rhythmic skeleton" of the piece (still takes works, but not as much if it were every note).

    "Displace one note and there would be diminishment, displace one phrase and the structure would fall." (Salieri in "Amadeus")
    Mozart is perfection.

    • @ElevenDollarCheese
      @ElevenDollarCheese 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They really nailed Mozart with that comment. How could you change any of this? I saw in a documentary that he would often improvise during concerts and change the actual "studio" version (or original) nearly every time he played something. They based it on margin notes of his in the scores. Like the Grateful Dead live I guess. They said he would change like half the composition or stretch it out for much longer than it originally was written.

    • @smalin

      I currently call them "animated graphical scores." They aren't as "animated" as the word might suggest, but there is some motion. I use the word "graphical" to distinguish them from conventional scores, which are more symbolic (that is, they contain symbols with meanings that must be learned).
