Vivaldi was on another level when he wrote this.
Funny story about it it's that actually Vivaldi made some notations on the original score of all the Season pieces. He was trying to translate the seasons from his perspective, trying to tell a story through the music, so each section of the score includes a "description" of how the piece it's supposed to be played AND listened. For example, the first part describes something like "shivers in the cold", when everyone comes together says something like "fell down on my butt and rolling down on snow", on 2nd movemente it's like "staying inside reading white dropplets of rain smashes the window, laughing of people outside on the storm" and things like that. He always made fun of bad things happening to other people. On Autumn he even describes one section as "being drunk and falling on my butt".
He lived in Venice, so he was probably pretty close to sea level.
@@smalin you took it to a whole new level
No, he wasn't. He was doing the standard techniques of musical text painting for his day. It's really well done, but it was just par for course. Wanna really hear him go? Try "La tempsta di mare, " Storm at Sea. " That's very cool.
@@mauriciocr159 actually he wrote full sonnets for each section, not just notes. Patrick Stewart has recorded them...
I recognized the recording almost immediately. This performance by Voices of Music is absolutely incredible. I recommend everyone to go see them play this on youtube; it's quite amazing to see.
Yes, indeed. I just watched it again. Thrilling, masterful playing.
Perfect animation style at the third movement.
I don't think it gets better than this.
I like your videos too!
I've never listened to a recording with baroque tunings being used. It has almost an entirely new character to it. It's grand!
This violinist is among the best I've ever heard
this version is able to capture the chilliness of winter in the first and last movements and the coziness of the winter fireplace in the second movement, nice.
Amazing!
The third movement is almost like a heart monitor, or like a strand of DNA. Its fascinating.
This is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard
I always get goosebumps during the first winter movement. It's an amazing piece of music!
This and the third summer movement are by far my favorites from Vivaldi's four seasons.
Thank you for this smalin!
Although I can play it back in my head I saw details in the visualization which I never realized when listening, for example the ///\\\\ pattern at 1:29 (I'm not a musician)
I'm a musician, and I found things in this piece when doing this video that I hadn't noticed before, too.
That's really interesting!
I suppose one would find even more when practicing to play one of the parts.
Thank you so much for all the time you put into this. I once read the whole FAQ page of your music animation machine and other parts of your homepage and have a vague idea of the amount of work that goes into it.
Wow!
:-)
Absolutely brilliant, especially how the 3rd movement parts weave around each other. Fantastic!
Why was this gem hidden from my sight from 3 years... it's amazing!
www.musanim.com/TH-camHighlights/ is a good way to make sure you haven't missed anything important.
thank you very much Stephen
This recording compared to all other versions of Winter absolutely astounds me.
Kian R This version actually has a low string section. Most are like 500 violins and a harpsichord. This is actually balanced.
Amazing. Without words... Only ears, eyes and heart.
I played this for my 5 year old grandson, and he was enthralled. He watched the whole thing and thought it was so cool. His almost 3 year old brother came over to watch for a while. THANKS AGAIN for doing this and making great music accessible for everyone!! -Kay
The final movement along with the animations was phenomenal! The animation style gave so much power and life that the music itself was the animation, and the animation became the music. The way the threads back off when the dynamic decreases and spikes during the final movement is powerful. You've done an amazing job on this animation! That was stunning. It was like rediscovering your videos, because the thrill it gave me the first time I watched your animations was great, but the level of emotion that was produced through this animation was something entirely new and even more intense than ever before. I can only imagine what Rite of Spring would be like if you revisited that piece (I'm not saying you should, just that I can imagine it being even more impressive than the first time.). Job well done to you
Beautiful music paried with very beautiful graphical representation. Heavenly! Thank you very much, Stephen Malinowski and Vivali!
Нет ничего более чистого кристального высветленные и божественного как музыка антонио Вивальди как поэзия Сергея Есенина как пальчики скрипача Маэстро андре рье как первый поцелуй Как Первая любовь как первая учительница как первый урок звуки незабыва скрипки Великолепные Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие за прекрасное исполнение вивальди
Pure perfect pitch guys
Long story short: this video is great in multiple ways.
First off, the colouring is brilliant. It adds so much depth to the visualization when we are able to see not only the notes but also the harmonics. And it's good the several melodies are told apart otherwise.
The blurrines of the first movement bothered my eyes a bit but it's not too bad. It seems to accentuate (visually) the solo parts of the violin as they are less blurred. Or that's what came to my mind.
In the 2nd movement, the violin in a different layer is an insightful solution: It both distinguishes it from the graphics of the other insturments and - as I think - represents the independence and/or the leading role of the melody.
And, of course, the last movement is just fantastic. Should I even mention how well it visualizes the energy and the motion of the music.
Congratulations for anyone who cared to read through all this massive analysis. :D
What an amazing performance, one of the most spirited I've ever heard. The ornamentation in the second movement was so lovely. And it was an extra treat to "see" this well known, yet remarkable piece come to life. Thank you!
Outstanding! Thank you Stephen for sharing your knowledge and hard work.
Marvelous! Those violin tremolos are very shivvvvery. I'm listening in the Great American Chill of 2018. And I love the little guys bouncing around the score with such manic enthusiasm. Far better than a dull 'conventional' score! Many thanks - as usual.
The ornaments in the second movement where so beautifully made in this video
Thank You
This is one of your finest pieces. I loved it. Thanks as usual
the person playing this has put a lot of efforts. we could literally hear breathing sounds in the finale.
I love how you showed the soloist's improvised(?) ornamentation in the 2nd movement.
This is lovely! I love the Synesthesia effect.
This is such a satisfying video
Glad you like it.
holy shit! This is one of the most amazing videos I have seen on youtube. The way you visualised the music is no less than remarkable. Keep up the good work.
Nice to watch this, at the height of summer, when, at 11pm it is still 28 degree celcius in my apartment...
The recording is nice, and it looks amazing! Thank you for uploading!
This deserves more views.
It's only been up a couple of weeks. Give it time to catch on. (And, of course: tell your friends.)
@@smalin I remember about five years ago you had another version of this same piece that I really enjoyed.
The way this is represented is oddly satisfying
quién comparte conmigo el gusto a tanta maravilla de acordes e instrumentos que sólo un loco como Vivaldi pudo crear????
Красота! Браво! Бравизимо!
MAGIC
The sense of depth is great in this one :D
i LOVE this song!
Wonderful, thank you! I really like the combination of visuals you used on this video!
this is a fantastic version
love this
who else is here solely because its satisfying watching the dots move
Superb!
I really enjoyed this, thank you very much. It made me see music from an artist's perspective.... Lots of composers saw music as color ie; synesthesia and, I feel as though this video gives an insight into that!
yesss my favourite of the 4 seasons! thank you
SO COOL!
Love the crazy harpsichord at 8:12 :p
Fantastisch
Thankyou Smalin so much because I can study myself classical music theory by your chanel!
Malinkowski, you're the genius who brings out the latent synaesthete in us.
I try.
I really do adore your opus.
I love winter!!! so hot now in Barcelona! also I loved the piece! :)
Oof you're in Barcelona, are you for or against Catalan independence?
1 of my favs
This is amazing!
I had enjoyed your work on Grosse Füge very much. It was a masterpiece. You did it again! Great work!

@@smalin Thank you very much, Sir!
It's really amusing how often the first movement is used for wine commercials - not exactly 'winter' scenes in those.
Superb work as always by smalin, but I must say this particular rendition is also quite astonishing. ranks up there with Carmignola's interpretation, in my very humble opinion.
my favorite season.
I like how you made all the orchestral parts blurry and the soloist is the only one you can see clearly, just like how when you listen to it, you're supposed to hear the soloist above all else.
I hope your profile pic is a joke.
vivaldi was ahead of his time :)
The choices of colors were so perfect Smalin!
Actually, I didn't exactly "choose" the colors. The colors are assigned according to a system (a system which many people have invented independently). So, I chose to use the system, but within that system, the colors are completely determined by the music. (See the FAQ for more about this.)
Cool. How do you decide how different colors are?
Have you read the articles from the FAQ?
Oh, I did. I was just wondering if there was a natural way of telling the magnitude of difference between colors like pitch. I kind of get your reasoning, and the result overall is very agreeable.
Ah, okay, I understand the question. Yes, there are theories of vision which predict the perceived difference between hues. I didn't use them, though --- I just picked pure hues for blue, red, and green, and adjusted the hues in between until the differences seemed about equal.
I hear from behind a Screen, all Vivaldi's Foundling Girls, playing and singing.

Love in a time of Corona Virus.
Vivaldi's Girls.
Boom.
Que hermoso, por fin completa la de Winter, ojalá después también la de Summer o de Handel - Passacaglia
the style of the first part is great. The fuzziness blends the tremolos into nice lines and the voronoi together with other types of point styles creates a multi layered effect.
Wow and the last part is even better. I want a fugue like that hngggg
glad I read this. I was getting irate thinking I wasn't getting the HD version, lol
i love your channel SMALIN
really nice
Nice!
Wow
💙💙💙
Amazing, it's nice to see withouth sound too, I love how this can bring music closer to a deaf person. Congratulations for your effort, I'm a visual arts student from Argentina and I'm inspiring my works on these videos.
The Four Seasons is so ubiquitous it's basically a musical cliche, but honestly it's not hard to see why. I'd say it's aged better than almost any other piece of classical music.
Every time you're tempted to think of this as a cliche - it says 'No I'm not!' and proves it.
I usually care more for your videos that are minimal with the effects, and just show the notes. This is an exception.
I'm not surprised; it turned out especially well. Some people like the simpler ones and find the more ornate ones distracting; some people find the simpler ones boring. I hope to get better at this ...
I like the variety :)
I love this piece! I'm excited that I get to perform this piece...
RevoDon3S yeah 😁
Where were these cool visualizations back when I was a stoner?
Sorry about that. I started on this project back then, but it took me a while.
Just kidding... I am now 70, and used pot in college, many yrs ago
I started working on this project in the 1970s. If you want to experience these animations at their best, I'd recommend hallucinogens (I've heard they're very effective for this).
Next trip to Amsterdam, will try mushrooms.
Perfect. Psilocybin and mescaline (and things like them) are the best, I've heard.
Grate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Is it just me or does this sound so much better in E minor than F minor?
I think it sounds better in E minor as well.
They used a different tuning back then. Their F sounded almost like E today. So this is how it was meant to sound.
Technically it is still F minor, but tuned down to a more “baroque” tune.

Thats so beautiful !
and very very very cool I looked it 14 times
The first movement is my favorite. I don't know why.
Same. I don’t even like the other movements
buen video
😍
Best part for the best season.
와 ..대단
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good
Amazing 1:13

The best part.
I think it is a violin and I always wanted to try and learn haha
🤯🤯🤯
please could you do a video on Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 27 Mov. I by Vladimir Ashkenazy
See "Could you please ..." in the FAQ.
6:35
Awesome, as usual. But a suggestion, perhaps, with respect to the 'needle and thread' effect in the third movement: perhaps instead of alternating upwards and downwards arcs, like it seems to, instead configure the arc direction based on whether the next note is higher or lower?
KooriShukuen I personally like it this way because it gives the line momentum, it acts like a pendulum oscillating up and down.
The "needle and thread" effect (SplineRibbon renderer, see www.musanim.com/renderers/) uses a cubic spline, which gives the smoothest path between notes. I've experimented with other methods of going between the notes (see www.musanim.com/bwv1007m1/ and www.musanim.com/vring/). If you draw some notes on a piece of paper and try to connect them in a way that matches your intuition, and then try to describe what you're doing algorithmically/mathematically, you will find that it's a very complicated subject.
I thought the needle and thread really captured the feeling of the music at that point.
Do you plan to complete the "quradilogy"? Also do you like 4 seasons if so [and this is just being picky] which are your 3 top movements from your favourite season, or do you find them annoying?
I'm just waiting until there's a good recording that I can use.
smalin gotcha, can't wait, amazing work!
@@smalin, you did a wonderful job by this.
patience is a beautiful matter.
well aren't there about a hundred records for each finger. perhaps you've to wait until they are old enough to obtain their permission?
My favourite!
Awesome video! Have you done one for Summer?
Alex F No.
smalin That's too bad, hopefully you do some day. I particularly like the performances you choose for your videos.
I guess he did not just choose these animations but created them by himself.
5:23 looks like a heartbeat monitor
Electrocardiogram
I'm sure Vivaldi designed it after that ^^
Interesting solo freedoms in mov. 2.
what software was used to make this, sorta gives me houdini vibes

is this transposed from the original? can the perfect pitch crew confirm or deny?

@@smalin Oooh thank you so much!
