Beethoven's Symphony Nr. 9 Mvt. 4 transcribed for piano by Franz Liszt.
Performer: Cyprien Katsaris
History: Franz Liszt the great piano player during the 1800's had transcribed every Beethoven symphony for piano, because he believed that one piano and 10 fingers could produce the same sound that a full orchestra could. He also was in love with Beethoven's works especially his symphonies.
When he started transcribing the ninth symphony Liszt ran into a problem in the 4th Movement, he did not know how to implement the choral parts into the music.
"After a great deal of experimentation in various directions, I was unable to deny the utter impossibility of even a partially satisfactory and effective arrangement of the 4th movement. I hope you will not take it amiss if i dispense with this and regard my arrangements of the Beethoven symphonies as complete at the end of the 3rd movement of the Ninth." -Franz Liszt
But then only a few months later Liszt had figured out a way to implement the choral section, accomplishing what he thought would be impossible. The Symphony transcriptions that Liszt did are so revered that they are considered to be their own works rather than transcriptions; please I hope you enjoy this interpretation of Symphony Nr. 9 Mvt. 4.
"The range achieved by the pianoforte in recent years as a result of progress both in playing technique and in terms of mechanical improvements enables more and better things to be achieved than was previously possible. Through the immense development of its harmonic power the piano is trying increasingly to adopt all orchestral compositions. In the compass of its seven octaves it is able, with only a few exceptions, to reproduce all the characteristics, all the combination, all the forms of the deepest and most profound works of music. It was with this intention that I embark on the work which I now present to the world."
-Franz Liszt

Chorus I
Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen,
Sehet—(Chorus II) Wen?—(Chorus I) den Bräutigam,
Seht ihn—(Chorus II) Wie?—(Chorus I) als wie ein Lamm!
Chorale
O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig
Am Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet,
Sehet,—Was?—seht die Geduld,
Allzeit erfunden geduldig,
Wiewohl du warest verachtet.
Seht—Wohin?—auf unsre Schuld;
All Sünd hast du getragen,
Sonst müßten wir verzagen.
Sehet ihn aus Lieb und Huld
Holz zum Kreuze selber tragen!
Erbarm dich unser, o Jesu!
Chorus I
Come, ye daughters, share my mourning,
See ye—(Chorus II) whom?—(Chorus I) the bridegroom there,
See him—(Chorus II) how?—(Chorus I) just like a lamb!
Chorale
O Lamb of God, unspotted
Upon the cross's branch slaughtered,
See ye,—what?—see him forbear,
Alway displayed in thy patience,
How greatly wast thou despisèd.
Look—where, then?—upon our guilt;
All sin hast thou born for us,
Else we had lost all courage.
See how he with love and grace
Wood as cross himself now beareth!
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!

This animation of Glenn Gould's So You Want to Write a Fugue? is the second full video I've made with PyMusAnim. The latest feature added to PyMusAnim that's showcased here is the ability to draw words on top of the bar-graph animation, which lets listeners follow along with the lyrics of the piece as well as the melody.
So You Want to Write a Fugue? was written by Glenn Gould for a CBC TV show called The Anatomy of Fugue, and is performed here by Elizabeth Benson-Guy, Anita Darian, Charles Bressler, Donald Gramm, and the Juilliard String Quartet.
PyMusAnim (github.com/zhanrnl/PyMusAnim) is a simple Python library for producing scrolling bar-graph animations of MIDI files. The program, and this video, was inspired by work Stephen Malinowski has done with his Music Animation Machine.
Let me know if you have suggestions for new pieces to animate or features to add to PyMusAnim. Watch in HD for best results!
