I don't actually know if you are right or wrong, but when i read "@Margaux177 I see what you're taking about, and I see why you think this version is truncated. It's actually the other versions that are truncated" i really laughed, it was like "im not mistaken, the rest of the world is!" jajajajajaaj XD
I have several recordings of the piece and I'm not mistaken; for some reason, this version is truncated. That echo-like effect Beethoven creates at 1:19 (and elsewhere in the piece) is supposed to repeat. Check out any other version on YouTube or play one on your stereo. You'll see what I'm talking about.
@Margaux177 I see what you're taking about, and I see why you think this version is truncated. It's actually the other versions that are truncated: they don't take the repeat (back to the beginning) that's supposed to happen at 1:19. Mine does; if you listen at 2:33, you'll see that it's the same, but it goes on (and repeats that figure as part of that).
I think its cool how in the early 70s this style of composition became popular again for a while. With rock instruments sure, but the compositions are much more important than the instruments used.
@Margaux177 No, you're mistaken. This is the full piece. The place you've pointed out is where it repeats the first section. The second time around (at about 2:33) it goes on.
Thank you for allowing us to see one of Beethoven's best works. It has taken me a while to look up, and find such a good video that has the original instruments and what not.
I'm doing Macbeth's Act 5, scene 1 (Lady Macbeth's sleep walking scene) for a drama festival. And I need some powerful, awesome, creepy, pathetic, chilling music for it. I mean, it could be any of the above. But it has to be awesome, and literally be the fourth person on stage. Any suggestions?
@MrPapergunner Um, because this totally does not fit the mood. Like, she's wracked by so much wrenching guilt she's going mad. Its really sad, the audience is supposed to feel intense pity for her. They should be weeping. I dont think this is the song for it.
Oh the winds of frustrated persons who take the blame for people as if they have more to do with them than they actually do; as if they have *anything* to do with them. (need I explain?)
Oh, and what a sin to let out words here. I just disappointed myself. Shame on you, emma -.-
Anyway.... I continue thinking it's ridiculous put this images for this music. Music is something that flows from the HEART. So it's very SAD, seeing how people tries to associate it with a "digital" image. This is exactly an example of how our society loose their values. People just don't see more the things with the heart. They see it WITHOUT heart. It's really sad. And much more sad seeing it with such a music of Beethoven, that it has no words to expres such beauty. It's not a crime but...
This doesn't have a million views yet lady gaga has more then ten million. I'm fourteen and I think my genarition is the dumbest there ever was because they don't apreciate this masterpiece!
awesome. i just happened to stumble upon this video at random and once i heard those first notes i couldn't stop listening. nothing captures your attention like good old beethoven :)
kinda sad my generation has such crappy taste in music and too poor attention spans to appreciate good music like this.
@smalin You should remember the major part of internet users or youtube users in particular is <18 either so actually I think 15% is a low percentage, even though I expected it to be even smaller. I agree with crazitaco. I visit a gymnasium (that is the german term for high school) and experienced, that there is only one single person except me in all my classes listening to this type of music.
The great majority listens to whatever is in the charts.
@smalin Not necessarily, I want to point out, that young people (in Germany, I don't have any idea about other countries) get to know this type of music. Firstly it simply does not get promoted, secondly it is stereotypically boring for young people and thirdly the German school system does not show pupils how and why to love this kind of music at school. Music lessons at school have unluckily adapted to the low standards of knowledge about music, we basically do nothing at these lessons
@hugodorektori smalin is right. people think that the old music has now gone to past.we face the same problem in Greece. In my high school only me and other 6 persons listen to this kind of music, from professors: just 2. and my school is judged to be exemplar
@hugodorektori Bluhbluh, there's tons of kids who listen to good music, although much less that actively listen to classical, for whatever reasons. I should know, I'm in cahoots with a good number of them
@fromMouq No one is in the position to rate music, to call it good or bad. Of course there are many kids out there who share your taste of good music, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about this kind of music in particular, nothing else^^
@hugodorektori Also this was in A Clockwork Orange, I expect a significant proportion of those younger people who listened to this have heard it there.
@smalin Thank you Smalin for these videos. You grabbed my attention and made me better appreciate classical music and get a better grasp on how talented these composers are. This music is truly a piece of art.
@crazitaco To each his own I say, I'm 16 and have been listening and playing this type of music. You shouldn't say those people lack attention spans because they don't like the music you listen to.
A lot of people criticize me because I don't like Bach, I think he's a bit of a robot. His music is beautiful but it lacks something I can't quite explain, there's nothing special, I guess would be the closest thing to what I want to say.
@crazitaco I agree. But have hope that there are a good amount of young adults and teenagers 'out-there,' who have an appreciation for the classical arts.
@smalin thank you so much for what you do. i am a pre-med student and listening to your videos, as well as taking breaks in my studying to watch the videos has contributed largely to my success and good grades. you are helping me get the career of my dreams!
Holy crap... I watched this whole thing through with close eye on the visuals and when it stopped the whole page started moving to the right. But nonetheless I loved it.
@smalin :O hey people dont you realize how much time smalin is working for us to enjoy a song??? those 30 dislikes should not be there and this video would deserve more views, and thanks smalin i love what you put on the internet continue :) peope enjoy your songs :)
@lovefan300 That was once a theory, but the evidence suggests it is not correct. Samples of Beethoven's hair have been tested; traces of lead were found, but not mercury.
@Joel72685 To start with, Beethoven (like any well-trained musician) could read music fluently --- which meant that he could look at music and hear what it sounded like (the same way you can read these words and know what they sound like) and write down music he could imagine. Add that he could improvise music like this at will (like a jazz musician these day). On top of that, he was very sensitive, and had good judgement.
@Joel72685 Truely awesome, but because someone is deaf doesn't mean that they don't hear it inside their head. Some see complex music as shapes and colours. A bit like it is presented here. It turns out that harmonies that sound pleasing also look elegant. I think its called synaesthesia. You may have even experienced it yourself, for example if you heard a note that was played wrong you might have imagined a chink in the music shape - I identify with this.
@StartbahnWest Well, since children as young as five months old can understand and appreciate my videos, I don't think it would have been too much of a stretch for Ludwig.
To any of you who experiment with hallucinogens or have thought about it, I recommend watching this video during your trip. Incase you haven't already thought of the idea.
This is so cool. When I was young I used top draw the music in lines going up and down jigsaw style, in order to better "experience" it. Obviously it wasn't as precise or satisfying as this!
Just looked at the digital representation in this video and thought of this. Can it be that there is an information encoded in the music? (i.e. steganography) :D Maybe I've just been working too much this year.
@valizadi There are hidden messages in some music (in cases where the composer was into numerology or liked playing games), but in general, you'd be better off looking elsewhere.
@RossOzarka Well, the most famous is probably Bach using the notes B-A-C-H (H is what they call B-natural in Germany; B is what they call B-flat) as the them of one of his fugues. Schumann did a fair amount of that sort of thing. I'm not interested in the subject, so I haven't kept track of a lot of example.
@RossOzarka Shostakovich was also known to include short text messages (not SMS messages!) in his music. His tenth symphony (third movement I think?) is probably the most famous example.
@valizadi This is what first comes to mind, but in artistic point of view! Yeah seeing the movements, up and down, long and short, are telling the story of life, but now can be seen rather than just felt. In fact the art is same from all angles you look through. Beauty is what takes you to an aspect of the truth.
@SkyFlierx2 I mean it's leaning dangerously close to C#, ie. the tonic's played at a frequency lower than 1170 hz. Unless my hearing's off today or something.
@btyremanable D is still D. A 440 is A and so is A 430...and 431,432,433, etc. Technically A 440 would be wrong anyways. And this is why I am perfectly fine with having relative pitch, so long as all the instruments are tuned to the same pitch I am fine.
@666NedFlanders so you are saying that A is A even when it's 438Hz? because it certainly sounds different to me! I can actually hear these differences but I don't know many people that can, being a musician and producer helps a lot...
@nahedh Not all but orchestras in some areas and orchestras who specialize in certain fields of music often tune to a pitch other then 440hz A. They do this because the modern standard is not true to what pitch the music was played at when it was written. Composers hear certain pitches in their head and certain musicians like to re-create those pitches more accurately than 440hz can manage.
@mrsandmanxj9 Have you seen the 4th movement? (The version of it that I uploaded a few hours ago has a bunch of wrong notes, so I'm redoing it; the fixed version should be up by tomorrow.)
@smalin i have seen it (all the way through), GREAT!, but still i just love the sound and look of this video, i mostly like the video you make with just the bars and no other graph style.

@valizadi This is what first comes to mind, but in artistic point of view! Yeah seeing the movements, up and down, long and short, are telling the story of life, but now can be seen rather than just felt. In fact the art is same from all angles you look through. Beauty is what takes you to an aspect of the truth.

So great! My synasthetic associations are a little bit different in coloring. But still looking at the voices is sheer pleasure. Thank you.
I wonder if you once will do the symphony of Hans Pfitzner in C-sharp-major. But I don't even find a decent recording nowadays.

I like the white better than the bright colors used in others, it makes it much clearer 'where' we are acoustically.

Great recording, but it's waaaay off standard D minor.
Are all baroque orchestras like that?

@nahedh waaaay off standard d minor? what do you mean?
SkyFlierx2 2 months ago
@SkyFlierx2 I mean it's leaning dangerously close to C#, ie. the tonic's played at a frequency lower than 1170 hz. Unless my hearing's off today or something.
nahedh 2 months ago
@nahedh the orchestra is not tuned to 440Hz, so D is not D
btyremanable 2 months ago
@btyremanable D is still D. A 440 is A and so is A 430...and 431,432,433, etc. Technically A 440 would be wrong anyways. And this is why I am perfectly fine with having relative pitch, so long as all the instruments are tuned to the same pitch I am fine.
666NedFlanders 2 months ago
@666NedFlanders so you are saying that A is A even when it's 438Hz? because it certainly sounds different to me! I can actually hear these differences but I don't know many people that can, being a musician and producer helps a lot...
btyremanable 2 months ago
@nahedh Not all but orchestras in some areas and orchestras who specialize in certain fields of music often tune to a pitch other then 440hz A. They do this because the modern standard is not true to what pitch the music was played at when it was written. Composers hear certain pitches in their head and certain musicians like to re-create those pitches more accurately than 440hz can manage.

@mrsandmanxj9 Have you seen the 4th movement? (The version of it that I uploaded a few hours ago has a bunch of wrong notes, so I'm redoing it; the fixed version should be up by tomorrow.)

@smalin thank you for posting that movement! i've been looking forward to it for such a long time!
calebaren 2 months ago
@smalin i have seen it (all the way through), GREAT!, but still i just love the sound and look of this video, i mostly like the video you make with just the bars and no other graph style.

Being that Beethoven was completly deaf at the time of his composing this, I wonder if his mind was rather able to lay it out like this.
