The first measure lasts 5.4 seconds; every subsequent measure is 1.05x faster. Even if the piece was looped, the video should only last 1:53.4, at which point a singularity would occur. The video lasts approximately 1:50. All the action would be concentrated in the last 4 seconds -- it would be a sight to behold!
It would be 5% faster than the last increment. So it would not be the same increment of speed for each measure I would think. Your point still stands though.
Guys this is not actually how compound interest works, it's significantly faster. It's how compound interest would work if the months also got shorter.
and if we did this so its 5% slower each measure the tempo would eventually reach a whopping 3 bpm. who knows how long that would take to play the whole piece
@@alumini1783you shouldn't use integration, thats just a geometric series sum. Starting bpm is 100 (says so in the video), so the first measure lasts 100/60 * 9 = 5.4 seconds. Then use geometric series partial sum formula (plugging in a1 = 5.4, r = 1.05, n = 72), and it comes out to 58 minutes and 35 seconds
Fun Fact: Debussy himself played this piece MUCH faster than most modern interpretations. We know this from piano rolls that Debussy himself recorded. I’d say about half note equals 200. It sounds strange at first, but it’s actually much more akin to his Preludes for piano. It’s like a soft, sweeping wave of sound, rather than the usual slow and expressive ballad. I can listen to the piece either way and enjoy it.
It only becomes a terrible idea when it gets beyond unplayable by human hands. The gradual acceleration propels the piece forward, from contemplative to frantic, a wonderful emotional ride. I'd love to hear an actual pianist try this, deciding what to do with it when it bumps up against their ability to go any faster.
Oh, Hell! What happened to Clair de Lune at the measure #27? Why Clair de Lune became so insanely agitated and frenzied? It sounds like galloping of a horse.
i actually love how this sounds up until measure 27 (1:28) it sounds like how it feels to fall in love with someone and then realize that you're smitten
Good demonstration of how compounding interest works. At first doesn't seem like much, but in the end, the money for all those avocado toasts and Starbucks coffees would have been enough for a house!

why did the entire first page sound normal, that's like a difference of 40 bpm and it was barely noticeable until like halfway through the last line. people always rush the beginning so it sounds so standard now
fix the ending tempos as follows and your idea works better: 1:37 stay at 500 or less 1:48 slow down more 1:51 return to original (slow) tempo for theme and slow down
me in the start of an exam vs me at the last minute :
same 😂
Congratulations you have a lizstleveled glissando
Bro. If this exam was a piano recital.. I’d say you've got talent.
As someone with no sense of keeping time this is exactly how I play until measure 25
lmao me too this just made me realise how much i need to sort out my clair de lune
That's the neat part about Chopin
Rubato all the way, baby!

27 and that whole motif is the bane of my existence man

Yes but you would need an infinitely long piece as well ;)
@@nilsragnar1347 As I said, you just need to repeat Clair de Lune over and over again to create an infinitely long piece.

@@alyssavon5246 Yes that was the entire point of the video :)
"calmato if possible" 💀
Still slower than the actual recording of Debussy playing it
bro i wrote a whole essay in a comment section of how theres no recording of this song by debussy
Off to the races with crazy Claude
love the “calmly if possible” at 43
"calmato if possible"
No, not possible.
Mr. Schnell you have the perfect name for this

This is a great way to demonstrate compound interest/exponential growth, and incidentally benfords law

It's dumb and I love it
when the 9th cup of coffee finally hits
clair de anxiety
😂😂😂😂😂
libre d'anxiété
I would be curious to see this at 3% or even 2%. it would prevent the end from being ridiculous.
truly a morendo ending (the pianist has died from exhaustion)
A normal day for Lang lang
When you have somewhere to be but can’t find your phone.
Our drummer used this very piece of music to practice to. That of course explains a hell of a lot!
Takes surprisingly long until it's unrealistic to play that fast.
Toward the end there's a spot where it sounds like the end of Dr Gradus ad Parnassum fron the Children's Corner Suite!

That's quite possibly because a piano roll has limited space and he could have had to play it faster to fit the entire piece onto it.
This is a pretty good visualisation of compound interest
Do I hate it?: no
Do I like it?: also no
tempo rubato lol
1:01 is me laughing at tempo rubato

"Tempo rubato lol"

probably it went from slow chords to arpeggios? lol?
and also because of math. because if you keep on adding 5 percent its gonna grow exponentially. its a slower version of exponentially folding paper
For those of you know dont know german, this youtuber has the perfect name :)
How I’d love to start my Carnegie hall recital like this

Clair de apocalypse
"Calmato, if possible"
1:26 Rachmaninoff ensues
Good thing it ended when it did.
What the heck?!? I can't play or hear that fast.

I don’t think avocado toast and coffee for 50 years would be enough to buy a house in this economy 💀

1:30
Why does it sound like an old pokemin game ?
on GOD
at 0:51 its actually really good
Kaede might be able to play this with her feet too.
Wow this was very impressive playing towards the end, was this Argerich?
1:14 Who put the opening to Pastoria City in my Clair de Lune???
LOL I never noticed the similarity before
gradually turn into Pacman
And the time between time shifts get shorter by 5 percent every measure. Hyper-exponential.

Watching this on 2x speed is a trip.
776bpm
"Calmato if possible"
Watching this right before bed… not a good idea
wait the piece ended? that was so abrupt!
well, ... TOP!
A ludic way to understand the power of compound interest
Is it done electronically or did you actually play this fast at the end?
I didn't play this, it's a midi file
drowning music
why
fix the ending tempos as follows and your idea works better:
1:37 stay at 500 or less
1:48 slow down more
1:51 return to original (slow) tempo for theme and slow down
And the point of this being…?
I can play til around 500
Pls don't destory this beautiful piece like that 🤨
climate change, destruction, femboys
bruh?
WHY
I think he was trying to produce the “extratone” effect at the end, and he succeeded.
