One of your best animations, could you use it in more videos, not just including solos?

[musanim]

@TheMonk909 I've used it in two non-solo videos on my main channel (smalin).

It's funny how you're now uploading animations of Bach's unaccompanied pieces for violin and violoncello for experimenting with your visualizations, when it says in your MAM "To Do(n't) List" that they're unsuitable.

[musanim]

@ImAwesomeHaHaHa Heh-heh, that's pretty funny. When I wrote that, I was still only doing the bar-graph animations, and I thought pieces like this would be uninteresting with that style of display. Now that I'm developing new styles of animation, that comment is no longer relevant.

[CupiecakieConway]

that...is..such..a cool way of following notes xD

[darkpdxwolf]

My friend in high school used to play this all the time... its been a long time. I miss hearing this coming from the chapel, being able to go in and sit and just listen. It was beautiful. I can't help being hit by nostalgia whenever I hear this.

Took me until 1:20 into the video to realize the line's thickness represented dynamics. Fantastic.

[ApsisApocynthion]

This is really good!

[bushinarin]

To the music: Wow.

To the animation: Impeccable! This is my favorite visual style yet. My favorite part visually is most certainly the changing thickness of the line to demonstrate the dynamics of the violin.

[termimatrix811]

Me encanta la percepción de las dinámicas en el color... belleza!!!! nuevo... brillante todo!

[Fireball1787]

I think this could (and should) be absolutely inspirational to anyone coming to Bach's violin partitas and 'cello suites for the first time. It vividly demonstrates what an absolute genius Bach was (still is, in my view), and provides a stunning visual representation of how beautiful music can look, as well as sound.

Please keep up the good work! Fantastic!

i think that the dots should be slightly bigger, and the line slightly thicker overall.Imo the white background is still kinda overwhelming. Love this animation though.

[gherre]

this is the best thing I've ever seen (more or less)

[Ibakecookiess]

you should do cello suite #1 in this style! I do love the "caterpillar" one, but this one is my favorite.

[orendi2]

Superbe. En voyant cette animation je suis sûr que Papa Bach sourit, à moins qu'il ne fronce le sourcil à ses petits-enfants... ! :-)

Calage de la musique sur le visuel, ou apposition de visuel sur la musique ? Je ne sais. En tout cas quand une osmose se produit il en ressort de la fascination. Bravo et merci à Stephen.

[Vanguarde12]

This is likely my favorite style of animation from you—really quite beautiful.

[Musicalme96]

i like that the dynamics r represented in the thickness of the line

[misswitch211]

Wunderbar!!!!!!



[sebastianrc]

This was spectacular! So much movement and so much feeling. Thank you

[beardipity]

my favorite so far!

[b43xoit]

Fanciful! Whimsical!

I like the diamonds better because they give the dynamics _in advance_.

[midicenter]

Genial!

[TheCaptan200]

It's like.... The extreme game of "connect the dots". O_O

[jspanjerberg]

Woooow, I am stunned. This is your most appealing visualization up to now. What a joy to watch & listen to :)

[BLooDCoMPleX]

@dkohanim Oh yeah got it now.
