Mozart, Piano Concerto No. 21, Andante ("Elvira Madigan")
uploaded by smalin at youtube.com
FAQ
Q: Can I get free sheet music for this piece?
A: Yes, you can download the piano solo here:
http://www.musanim.com/pdf/k467m2_piano.pdf
Q: Why do you keep uploading this piece?
A: The first two versions both had things wrong with them that I either noticed after I'd uploaded them or decided were worse than I'd realized. Hopefully "three's the charm."
Q: What do the colors mean?
A: The reddish colors are the string instruments, the fuzzy greenish colors are the wind instruments, and thin blue/violet is the piano.
Q: Why isn't everything perfectly in sync like in your other videos?
A: There were actually three separate performances: the performance you're hearing, the performance you're seeing (my hands), and the performance the bar-graph score is based on. I got these as close as I could, but there were always places that were a little off, so I finally said "good enough" and stopped trying to make it better.
Q: It seems like the two scores don't match exactly; is that a mistake?
A: You're right, they don't match exactly. The bar-graph score at the top has all the notes of all the instruments, but the conventional score at the bottom is a "reduction" with the eleven staves of the full score compressed into four staves. To make this score readable, I left out some parts that I considered less important when a lot of instruments are playing.
Q: How did you make this video?
A: You can read my Production Notes here:
http://www.musanim.com/ProductionNotes/MozartK467m2.html
Q: What does "Elvira Madigan" mean?
A: This movement was featured on the soundtrack of a 1967 film about the Danish tightrope walker Elvira Madigan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira_Madigan); a lot of people became familiar with the music that way, so it's sometimes called "The Theme from Elvira Madigan." It's been in many movies since then, including The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Regarding Henry (1991), Silent Fall (1994), Gone Fishin' (1997), Virtual Sexuality (1999), and Superman Returns (2006).
Q: How long have you been playing the piano?
A: Since I was eight (which was in the year that's the same upside-down).
Q: Where's the recording from?
A: I licensed it from RoyaltyFreeClassicalMusic.org.
Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself?
A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; 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; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first:
http://www.classicalarchives.com/
Q: Could you please do a MAM video of _________?
A: First, check my "to do" list:

If the piece isn't listed, read the "Could you please do a MAM video of _________?" item on my main FAQ:

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (first movement) solo piano
uploaded by smalin at youtube.com
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Can I get free sheet music for this piece?
A: Yes, you can download the score shown in the video from here:
http://www.musanim.com/pdf/BeethovenMoonlightSonata_mvt1.pdf
Q: What do the colors in the bar-graph score mean?
A: The colors indicate the "pitch class" of the notes; that is, every C# is a certain color (blue), every E is a certain color (olive green), etc. The piece is in the key of C# minor, so there's lots of blue and green, especially at the beginning and end. The choice of colors is based on the "circle of fifths," which you can read about here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths
This method of coloring notes is described more here:
http://www.musanim.com/mam/pfifth.htm
Because this form of coloring reflects tonality, the places where the piece moves into another key are easily visible; here's a picture of the whole piece:
http://www.musanim.com/img/FuerEliseWholePiece.gif
BTW, the colors are more distinct in the high-quality version of the video.
Q: What do the light/dark areas in the bar-graph score show?
A: They show the effect of the damper pedal.
Q: Who is playing?
A: Me (Stephen Malinowski).
Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself?
A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; 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; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first:
http://www.classicalarchives.com/
Q: You said "it's well documented that different synesthetes have different associations." Where is this documented? I read on Wikipedia that "synesthetes, as a group, share significant preferences for the color of each letter."
A: It's true that there are some patterns in the associations synesthetes make between colors and letters (or numerals, pitches, etc.), but the Wikipedia article is misleading in suggesting that there's anything approaching a unanimity of opinion. On this page, I'm collecting some references and pointers to research so that you can draw your own conclusions based on the data:

Q: Could you please do a MAM video of _________?

Beethoven - Für Elise (fur Elise, piano solo)
uploaded by smalin at youtube.com
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Where can I get the sheet music for this piece?
A: The score that's shown in the video is available for free as a PDF here:
http://www.musanim.com/pdf/FuerElise.pdf
And here's a version for a solo melody instrument (like flute or saxophone):
http://www.musanim.com/pdf/FurEliseSoloMelody.pdf
Q: What does "Für Elise" mean?
A: For Elisa. You can read more about this piece at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fur_elise
Q: Did Beethoven write this when he was deaf?
A: Beethoven started losing his hearing in 1796, when he was about 26 years old; Carl Czerny said that he could hear music in 1812, but he was almost completely deaf by 1814. He wrote Fur Elise 1808 and 1810, so he probably could hear it, at least a little. In any case, he could certainly hear it perfectly "in his head," since he could read music (and hear in it his "mind's ear") just as easily as most people can read words.
Q: What do the colors in the bar-graph score mean?
A: The colors indicate the "pitch class" of the notes; that is, every A is a certain color (blue), every B is a certain color (olive green), etc. The piece is in the key of A, so there's lots of blue, especially at the beginning and end. The choice of colors is based on the "circle of fifths," which you can read about here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths
This method of coloring notes is described more here:
http://www.musanim.com/mam/pfifth.htm
Because this form of coloring reflects tonality, the places where the piece moves into another key are easily visible; here's a picture of the whole piece:
http://www.musanim.com/img/FuerEliseWholePiece.gif
BTW, the colors are more distinct in the high-quality version of the video.
Q: How did you make this video?
A: See the production notes:
http://www.musanim.com/ProductionNotes/FuerElise.html
Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself?
A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; 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; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first:
http://www.classicalarchives.com/
Q: Why do the scores move at different speeds?
A: The bar-graph score is graphical, and in it, time translates exactly into horizontal position; conventional notation is symbolic, so there is usually one symbol per note, regardless of whether it's a long or a short note, and the symbols are more or less evenly spaced (for legibility); so, when the notes are faster (like at 1:40), the notation needs to move faster to keep up.
Q: The notation is too fuzzy to read.
A: Try watching the high-quality version.
Q: Please tell me something interesting about Beethoven that I can put in a paper for class.
A: Sorry, no.
Q: Why did you play this so slowly?
A: The piece is marked "poco moto" ("with some motion"), which is pretty vague, but I'm guessing that Beethoven probably intended it to be played a little faster. I chose a slower tempo to make it a little more romantic, a little sweeter, a little gentler.
Q: Could you please do a MAM video of _________?
A: First, check my "to do" list:
http://www.musanim.com/all/MAMToDoList.html ...
If the piece isn't listed, read the "Could you please do a MAM video of _________?" item on my main FAQ:

Ok, some people keep saying that this is too loud. My solution to you is to lower the volume. Simple yet effective.
