Haven't listened to the symphonies in decades. But much music in the meantime. This is very exciting, especially with the study version. I've always appreciated those you've used bar lines with. Really, this is wonderful....

I especially liked the harmonic structures visible in the diagram at the right bottom, e.g. diatonic parts are one half of the circle, diminished 7th chords are crosses etc.

This is very useful, I'm actually going to share this with my music classmates

[@Armoroffelix]

I like this format please and thank you ❤

Just when you start to think that Bach was the best composer ever... a new look at Beethoven. Really interesting to see how he used a melodic line against a chord basis rather than the whole thing built from counterpoint: the animation shows this very well. Good work. You can't really compare them, they were both geniuses beyond our limited abilities...

Study in infinite sequences from a 4 note motif

Very Very Good!! marvelously videoed!! This doubles the pleasure of the music and gives students a visual feel for the sound. I and my grand daughter are studying piano and this is just perfect to instill in her brain and mind the visual sound. Thank you! you're a genus in your own right!!!

Young people are my primary intended audience, so I'm very happy to hear this.

[@Hailstormand]

I am fairly convinced that this was the first recording of Beethoven's Fifth that I have ever heard.

[@milad.nikzad]

Karajan never disappoints.
