I love these bars. The fisheye effect is terrible for timing...

[smalin]

Some people like the fisheye effect.

[nicolaaaaasification]

who plays this version? it's great, what orchestra is?

[smalin]

See the FAQ.

I think it says in the description. Incidentally (talking to smalin), where can I find your "to do/to don't" list? I thought it would be better to look there than asking for something. :)

[smalin]

I've pretty much stopped referring to those lists. I have a few specific videos I'm working on right now (Rite of Spring, a Godowsky/Chopin Etude and a few others that are not certain), some collaborations that are ongoing (Goldberg Variations, Bach organ fugues, etc.), and some live events that I'm preparing for (in the San Francisco Bay Area). Beyond that, I'm not making plans.

This is good to listen as background music while studying.

i like the fisheye for putting on fullscreen and just staring and spacing out. i like the bars for more analytical viewing.

“Mozart's music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe.” —Albert Einstein

[metz3962]

Absolutely true.

[metz3962]

Je crois que cette pièce doit être la plus grande œuvre de toute la musique classique.
