samsky12 ::: Favorites It's not perfect. Double flats are treated as sixths in their coloring. Pretty cool though, the look of it and the conceptual design is genius. pretty sweet. 07-08-08 05:27:58 _____________________________________________________
smalin ::: Favorites >It's not perfect. Double flats are treated as sixths in their coloring. Whether that's an error is debatable ... my goal here was to provide an "analysis" which was completely automatic --- that didn't involve any human being's interpretation (like "this interval is different from that one because I say so, or what it says on the piece of paper"), but was based only on what keys were pressed on the piano. 07-08-08 11:46:14 _____________________________________________________
MusicalConnoisseur ::: Favorites I understand this is a "tech" video, but to comment on the music... Was it played by a robot? a soulless computer? It is COMPLETELY DEVOID OF HEART! 07-08-08 12:03:19 _____________________________________________________
samsky12 ::: Favorites right, i gotchya, but since terms like "minor 3rd" are a human construction anyway, right? I mean, like an Ab is not the same thing as a G#. Out of context they are identical, but they are functionally different. That;'s really all i was saying. The computer is guilty of nothing more than thinking like a computer. I still think this is an amazing piece of work. 07-08-08 17:16:22 _____________________________________________________
samsky12 ::: Favorites this was a really good piece to choose for this. The run of fourths is so pleasing visually and aurally. 07-08-08 17:43:27 _____________________________________________________

smalin ::: Favorites >Ab is not the same thing as a G#. A-flat _means_ a different thing than G-sharp, but they _sound_ the same (on the piano). When a composer writes Ab instead of G#, they're saying what the note means. This isn't passed to the listener during the performance. My videos show stuff you can hear if you know what to listen for, not my (or the composer's) ideas about meaning. That would be interesting in its own way, of course. 07-08-08 20:33:27 _____________________________________________________

magic2spell ::: Favorites just once, i'd like to read a commentary on any musical piece. that didn't critisize or berate the musician. or thought of themselves far too superior to the person or persons, who were brave enough to speak from the heart. 07-08-09 08:14:58 _____________________________________________________
TheDeathOfFear ::: Favorites That's really neat. The visual was really helpful in understanding the piece for me. Interesting, because I never thought of myself as such a visual person. Kept me totally transfixed though. 07-08-10 00:23:24 _____________________________________________________
