Q: Why are the notes different sizes?
A: Each group of instruments (strings, woodwind, brass, percussion) is shown in a separate layer, and has a different size; this helps you see when instruments in more than one group are playing the same pitch at the same time. The timpani is blurred because that's how it sounds to me.

Q: Is there a way I could make bar-graph scores like this myself?

  • Really enjoyed the animation, thanks for making this. It helps quite a bit with unlocking chords and untangling threads, but it would be better if it wasn't compressed and distorted by YouTube (or possibly distorted by my computer). If I wasn't looking at the graph/animation I'd listen to a different version, but the visual aspect is enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

  • @banginghats2 "Compressed and distorted"? I wonder what you're referring to. Are you watching the 720p version? To me, it looks an sounds fine ...

  • One question, why does it say Baroque?

  • @CerddClasurol It's part of the name of the orchestra.
