[WeilEinherjar]

[danishpride1]

[simjonowitsch]

[PaulRx4]

I do like it and am a life long Brahms addict esp his

Piano music and chamber music all 1st class, Nothing

quite like it.  Wonderful.

[meimeichao]

Everybody if you close your eyes it well bring back memories, well to me thumbs up if you agree!!!!!

[ericmcfadden]

2:26 reminds me of james and the giant peach

[deadly990]

i had no idea this was brahms.

[Syckcorey]

me gusta como se administraron los tiempos!

[maddmax1881]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :]



[CriticalListener]

Absolutely wonderful. You bring out all the voices, and it's a real pleasure to watch as well as hear them. Thanks for all your hard work.

[favio100]

muy bien elegida esta composición para graficar su musica. me da la impresion de que no con cualquiera hubiese causado tan buen efecto.

[maddmax1881]

THX 4 smalin!!!!

[primelimitt]

when we see more blue notes lets say in a certain part,that means we are in blue tonality?

[smalin]

@primelimitt Pretty much, yes.

[Nebulafantasy]

This would be so great to show to a deaf person!

[chopin65]

Thank you my friend.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

Oh God... another BRAHMMY!

[beluch]

Very interesting, but you should add a stroke to show where the downbeat in each measure is.

[TheDuttyProfessor]

Wonderful, I absolutely love the work you're doing!

[belialah]

Polifonia

[FranFNH]

Piano hero?

[SergeantVanek]

sehr gut

[happycat2010]

I had to subscribe. Your videos are enjoyable!

[frescobelo]

Brahms must be a good guitar hero player..

[rafalibe]

@frescobelo They really should make a classical piano hero for those who wants more challenge!

[MightyMagda]

@frescobelo hahaha awesome answer

[reibbor]

What do the colors represent?

[smalin]

@reibbor see the FAQ

[eldorado303]

i am friends with these composers, so they say.

[hisoka7]

Amaziiiiiiiing ! Comme diraient les américains ! :p

[smalin]

@hisoka7 French people say it too, apparently.

[JHJennings]

@hisoka7 Zut! Dites-Donc! Sacre Bleu! C'est Magnifique!



[lePistolero]

@JHJennings On dit plutôt: putain ça déchire! Ou je kiffe trop! terrible, trop bien, génial sont également souvent employé... xD

[JHJennings]

@lePistolero mais ma préférée est la suivante. "ZUT!!! DITES DONC!!!" On le voit dans les romans ancien français

[jhl1116]

i love love it! ^^

[lePistolero]

It sounds like a little children's music box. I love it.

[lotusbuds2000]

Ah yes, as a vioin player, 'course I love Brahms... for piano, he's a tremendous and challenging composer..exciting to listen too!! In love with Western composers for the amazing hamonies/counterpoint ... love counterpoint so much that in certain pieces if I were conducting or playing piano, I would emphasize the harmonic lines over the melody. That's the huge appeal for me of "Western" compositions..having grown up with an Eastern (Indian) musical ear. Love Eastern / world music too.

[KlassikFan2007]

Brahms' music is great!

[TwelfthRoot2]

There is so much more to music than intervals and chords

[smalin]

True ... but without intervals and chords, it would be much less.

[dwongutube]

Very well played!

[babie504]

@ImOnTeamEdward95

its better than a year experince. shouldnt care wat ppl think just play.[:

BTW. madly in love with this piece. ^.^

[ImOnTeamEdward95]

I love this piece. Very well played, nice and sticato, is this in 4/4, 2/2, or 2/4? I'm a little frazzled... This pice would do well in a mouse hunt and chase. Like a cartoon maybe. But being a musician with only 3 years experience, who would listen to me?

[monkeyzNdogz]

you mean at like a generic 2:22?

[Scottdins]

The piece is in 2/4. I have the music in front of me. :)

Soli Deo Gloria

[isishuma]

i love your pictures !!!

[RollaArtis]

Where's the pedal? It sounds so dry.

[smalin]

Look at the score.

[T1carus]

@RollaArtis There is no pedal in the score and should only be applied lightly when used, the peice is almost entirely staccato.

[bakerybabe29]

Love this one! Very interesting...

[Silvertypedm]

its a very AWESOME melody!! in my idea the best of the capriccio never known... ^^

[danedaworld]

The first 2 measures (assuming 4/4, but maybe 2/2?) sound like from a movie >.>

[parazti]

lovin this video

[sueyberry]

lol for some reason i cant stop looking at the video O.o Its soo colour XD

[tierna1981]

its a goverment complot to make us all zombies XD

[no1use]

What recording is this? I've looked for a handful around YouTube, but this one is my favorite. Some don't have the accents in the right places, and others are too slow or too fast. Too rushed with no feeling.

[smalin]

I've updated the FAQ (more info) to answer this.

[motakc]

Cool!

[rlchotmale]

i was actualy looking for opus 76 no1 this is kl though

[youxx8038xxtubey]

so get y r u watching this one dummy

[Asrialth]

your channel is really cool. I didn't have any interest in classical music but then three days ago something occured and I suddenly DID become interested. And your channel has something of each.

thanks!

Definately subbing ;)

[smalin]

What does "something of each" mean?

Classical and something else?

I thought my channel was all classical.

Maybe I'm not understanding you?

[Asrialth]

No, you're right, I still have some difficulty with expressing myself properly in English, sorry.

What I meant was that you have something of a lot of famous composers, from completely different times and countries. I mean, while Chopin and Brahms were classical composers, Debussy was a romantic composer, and bach was baroque and so on. So you have composers representing a lot of different times.

And that was very convenient, because I was looking for all of them to check which I liked best ;)

[smalin]

Ah, I understand you now.

[ChopinLisztDebussy]

Chopin and Brahms are romantic composers. Debussy is in the late-Romantic Period almost in the modernist music. Just so you know.

[Gershwin234]

Your english was great, he just didn't know exactly what you meant.

[youxx8038xxtubey]

the way you play part of the song differs from the way it is written in my urtext book-------it says that it should be stacatto in about the second line----the right hand base

[smalin]

yeah, everybody's free to play it the way they like

[youxx8038xxtubey]

yes, i do have rather classical/romantic style taste.someday, I will put my recital from last year on youtube. did you know that I am an eleven year old girl?

[smalin]

No, but if you hum a few bars, I'll fake it.

[youxx8038xxtubey]

I am confused. I don't really know the lingo here on youtube...please explain

[devrimhan1971]

Thank you for your great uploads, i enjoy them very.

[dreadnought1023]

@youxx8038xxtubey

Bad idea giving out personal info, unless, of course, you're lying...

[youxx8038xxtubey]

sorry....i guess i should be afraid that you are going to look up all of the eleven year old girls and find out who I am.....

[U2buserX]

That happened to me too. I'm now obsessed with learning everything about every composer and their works from baroque to 20th century period! I like classical somewhat before but now I can't get enough of it!

Also, somehow this music animation stuff makes you see the genius and complexity of classical music, giving it a totally new appreciation!

[LiLq315]

wow i love this piece and it is played very very well...

[dango428]

This video was so well timed and coordinated that when I do stop watching, for a moment everything else appears horribly unwell and uncoordinated.

[ethositachi]

8 player singstar on godmode. lol

[theoryjoe]

this video was a good idea. bravo.

[glowgod]

2:04 sublime

[MrStewartpid]

pretty good, but kinda sexy

[foxyjohnuk]

he is pure sexy x

[technoautomated]

it's like an old music box or one of those scroll pianos (not sure what they're called) FANTASTIC!

Thanks for these.

[smalin]

"player piano"

[Sesquiltera]

whooo shit everything is moving to the right after carefully watching this vid!

[1codcod]

@Sesquiltera How did you discover it?

[Sesquiltera]

@1codcod Well, I guess I was watching very concentrated and when the vid stopped I looked up and saw everything moving.

[xWesenburgerx]

@Sesquiltera haha yeah at first I was like "ACID FLASHBACK", but then I quickly realized it was from watching that. great song though.

[pipilotta12345]

my favourite:bist du bei mir.

[jaibyrne]

sweet

[IIXPARADOXII]

excellent piece!!!!

[ferg6us]

i love this piece x3! brahms it's my idol

[shindubra]

Wow, this is art.

The visualisation of music!

[xleeca]

it's beautiful to see and hear the sustained notes being held between the scurry of other notes. beautiful piece

[FatherWarhol]

That's just a matrix midi editor with some new graphics.

[smalin]

Yep. It's trivial.

[Marlenolomo]

Smalin!

Sure?

Hm.

Maybe you're right and it's trivial,

but not THAT trivial.

It's a very beautiful and even funny triviality.

I really really like it.

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Not so complex in concept, but quite artfully executed: note how he's carefully separated each and every "voice" present in the music, and used colors contrasting enough to easily differentiate them, not to mention the impeccable synchronization!! One could say of a sculpture that it's just a block of rock chipped away to represent a figure - nothing very novel, but there is a huge range of difference in the skill of the artists which use this particular method of expression.

[neversroad]

If we added lines, we would have sheet music! almost lol

[sbutton001]

omg that so true! i never noticed haha

[basicregisters]

Thanks a lot!

Greetings from Brazil :D

[stagesix6]

there a lag

[jaberwocky6669]

here a lag

[smalin]

everywhere a lag lag

[jaberwocky6669]

Sweet! =D

[MrARVO]

Che figata di VIDEO!|

Questa musica poi...è MUSICA!

[Lina0David]

so hard to play but stil nice :)

[marionetteiva]

this is one of my favorites yet!!!

[Pekaaas]

buenisimo. muy bueno muy divertido y bien echo

felizitaciones.

[smalin]

Gracias.

[exackerly]

Sorry, I got a headache after about a minute. Nice recording though -- who is it?

[smalin]

All the music on my channel is performed by me (or by a computer under my supervision or control, or some combination of the two) unless otherwise indicated.

[cruelsmurf]

wow your very good

[ihope127]

I'm listening to this video without sound because the computer I'm currently using doesn't support it. I've seen this video many times before, with sound; it's interesting to see how well I can match up the music I remember with the video I'm seeing.

[smalin]

Very interesting. Do you read music (that is, conventional music notation)? If so, do you hear music when you read a score?

[ihope127]

I read it very slowly. :-) One of these days (heck, why not this weekend? School's out for the summer), I'll have to get some more practice playing piano or something. To kind of answer your question prematurely, my mind is musical enough that I probably would "hear" music if I were practiced at reading it.

I think that even today I would be capable of simply reading a score and ending up hearing the music behind it, though, as I said, very slowly.

[ypsilonOOo]

well the animation does not fit to the music in any way. it must be an other song we're seing here..

[tpablo]

depends on what you see. pay more atention and you will se the logic. try

[Janskleig]

There is lagg, try watch the end of the music. I bet you see a lagg.

[Janskleig]

Ohh i know, i watched this video i HQ, that is making the lagg... Never mind lols

[smalin]

Isn't it amazing that somebody can't see the relationship between the sound and the animation?

The first time somebody watched one of my animations and said "uh, is there some relationship between what I'm hearing and what I'm seeing?", my jaw dropped. But she was completely serious.

I guess it's like people who are tone-deaf or color-blind --- they seem normal until you enter the area of their disability, and then it's obvious that they're missing something.

[ypsilonOOo]

welllllll im sorry, using OPERA (the browser) the music starts some 5 seconds too late, so it doesnt fit at all.

But as is watched it in firefox now, its correct!! ;)

[ihope127]

I know you well enough to know that you're not trying to be offensive.
