Telemann, Paris Quartet VI, fifth movement, Distrait (animated balls+bars)

[grand600cell]

Telemann should have invented the sewing machine.

[mysterioso2006]

What is the blue instrument? And how do they make it sound like a bird? It's amazing.

[PhantomWerewolf]

@mysterioso2006 that would be a flute.

[bushinarin]

@PhantomWerewolf I loled.

[JrodMcKenzy]

ha,animated balls and bars

[TheSapphirestation]

I usually like Telemann, and this did not disappoint. Thanks for sharing!

[cahsjklxcbhwlo]

Do you have an animation for "Flight of the Bumblebee"?

[smalin]

@cahsjklxcbhwlo It's on my DVD (hint, hint).

[dallas0poi0teen]

what progrem is this?

[smalin]

@dallas0poi0teen Oh, just a little something I wrote.

[orangebhuddy29]

i feel bad for the cello player, their fingers must be bleeding after this song

[timigy]

0:26 smile (:

[Apocalypticamerica]

GO syncopation!

[bushinarin]

I can't get over the way the flutist and violinist feed into each other. It may be the best lead work I've ever heard, ever.

[avenged7xguitar]

@bushinarin Eh.

[bushinarin]

@avenged7xguitar Maybe a bit exaggerated I suppose.  But it's awesome nonetheless!

[avenged7xguitar]

@bushinarin This true :)

[violatione]

Better than Bach

[amadeus5889]

Very sprightly! Does anyone else imagine galloping horses upon hearing this?

[violatione]

@amadeus5889 not horses, this is too graceful.

[897833234]

amazing

[pabloalcr]

When I finish watching these animations everything I see, seems to be waving.

[pennyellicott]

I've used your visuals with my elementary music classes! They were spellbound! It's not often you can get Kindergarten children to actively listen for any length of time but this does the trick! Is there any way to see the entire piece at once so we can talk about form?

[ScribbleMouse]

love the two animation together

its great!!!

such a cute little piece too!

and for some reason, i just think harpsichords sound real nice for a bass line

[BirdValiant]

Interesting combination of displays. Very nice music, too.

[oompeer]

A pleasure again for eyes and ears.

Thanks!

[MatchbookD70]

This looks great! I'm not afraid to Telemann when he does a good job :)

[tonywaiting]

I do prefer this version, especially when the circles are not moving.

It's much easier for me to read how the music goes, this would help greatly in reading Bach's music

[D0g63rt]

@tonywaiting

I thought eyes were all you needed. Ears too maybe.

[tonywaiting]

@D0g63rt

I was talking about how easy it is to see visually how counterpoint was done, especially for late baroque period composers like Bach. I was not talking about the color, nor slopes, nor trends.

[Chefodeath]

I like this piece a lot. The violin and the flute remind me of two children running around, and the cello is like their parent trying to keep up.

The harpsichord reminds of...a harpsichord =P

[MatchbookD70]

@Chefodeath Hahah, well put!

[Phyle9]

Very nice Baroque ornaments!!

Good job!

Maybe everything seems a little too quantized, but still feels very natrual and not too computerish!

Very nice! thx

[smalin]

@Phyle9 A little too quantized? It's a live performance, not computer-generated.

[Phyle9]

@smalin

i dunno... Maybe it's just the midi instruments sound, or you edited a bit too many 'mistakes' ,-) hehe

it's still great tho!!

feels a bit like a metronome. It's almost too perfect! :)

[smalin]

@Phyle9 Actually, it's far from perfect. Look closely at the ornaments --- you'll see that they're all different. And in some scale passages (e.g. at 1:38), the flute player misses a note or two. And the notes are of lots of different lengths; in the score, the only rests are when people aren't playing for a long time, but here, most of the notes slower than a sixteenth note are shorter than notated in the score.

[PianoLucciano]

@smalin still sounds great.

[minasgekos]

@smalin damn technology, you can't even make a little mistake anymore :))) anyway, the overall impression this performance gives me is quite satisfying. They play with heart. thanx 4 the upload btw!

[whythewar1]

@smalin The music was a little over done at first for me... but then it kind of grew on me.... like a lot >.>

[rodstartube]

@Phyle9 hey this guy smalin is just addict to fitting midi graphics to wave audio. he likes it too much

[violatione]

@smalin I think that Phyle must be retarded. Or perhaps he has simply never heard anyone Baroque music on the highest echelon.

[ambigera]

Love the new visual style.

[vdmerwe]

perfecto.

all parties are pleased!

[therealEmpyre]

I really enjoyed this piece, and in my opinion, it does rank up with the likes of Bach, who has always been a favorite of mine.

[KonsolN]

Listening to this piece is fun :D

[taliwhacker]

i like this way of animating the music cos it doesnt make me feel sick like the balls one which moves around @.@

[ApsisApocynthion]

superb counterpoint

[7222Brit]

:D this is an very fun piece

[franielee38]

Bravo! Circles and Squares together, perfect.
