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: Please tell me more about the composer.
A: You can read about Beethoven here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven
Q: Is there a way I could make bar-graph scores like this myself?
A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate a display like this; you can get the (Windows) software here:
http://www.musanim.com/player/
There are lots of places on the web where you can get MIDI files; when I'm looking for MIDI files, I usually go to the Classical Archives site first:

@Maxxxxxxxxxism9 Seems to be some guy who posts SC2 videos, and he liked this video. Thanks to his fans, they must have seen his activity and followed the Like to this video. Let's hope they like this kind of music! Musanim will get paid for their pageviews anyway.

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 ...
