why are some squares fuzzy down below the notes???



[smalin]

@papiroazul See the FAQ.

[Anathiron]

isn't it Friederic instead of Frideric?

[smalin]

@Anathiron "Frideric" is how he was spelling it at the time he wrote this piece.

Are you open to suggestions? Could you, please, do the Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No. 5 in F Major Op. 76 (1875)?

I think you shouldn't do the whole symphony but only the 2nd movement (it's the best part)...

[smalin]

@joti88888 Sorry, I don't like Dvorak's music enough to listen to it as much as is required in the making of a video.

[fndokoye]

very nice

[terrybeaton]

For the first time I really understand the interplay of the bass and higher parts. When you can see them you can understand them better in a structural sense.

I don't like the interpreatation of this song by the orchestra. I miss the sound of triumph and glory, it's to slow, to heavy and ther choir is yelling and not singing... (I know, that this is ONLY MY oppinion!)

But by the way: Great work, smalin, I love your channel! :-)

Greatings from Germany.
