Beethoven was able to achieve this harsh to soft quality in his work through his mastery of musical form - he knew exactly what should come next every time. Few composers have that. It's safe to say that Beethoven never wrote a wrong note.
Classical Music11 Oh yes. The video where Leonard Bernstein is talking to Maximilian Schell about how bad Beethoven was at everything (which is entirely ludicrous).
the shapes: the rectangles are brass, the rhombi are strings, the pointed rhombi are double reeds, the thicker rectangles are the tympani, the ovals are the flutes, and the octagons are clarinets.
Beethoven's 3rd is the best symphony from Beethoven by far for me. 1st movement is a masterpiece, the 2nd is a dark and dramatic funeral march with a heavy and passionate center, the 3rd is a quick springy and its just all good. Love it!

It was radically new sund and music style when was presented the first time in a private concert with mixed reviews. Today it's one of Beethoven's Greatest Hits. I love the first notes, but the whole piece was a beautiful triumph!
Il vedere pure le note che, velocemente volano via, rende l'ascolto più affascinante, e stanno a dimostrare, la genialità del compositore, La dissonanza meravigliosa ho potuto finalmente, vederla oltre che sentirla. La trovo straordinaria.
Beethoven has been in my head since I was a kid and always will be. Played this one many times, listened 1000 x times and more and it gets me every time. Those six chords at 6:01 can be interpreted in so many ways ... each conductor feels them differently.
This and the 3rd movement of the 9th are, in my opinion, the two most beautiful pieces ever written. This particular recording beats many more famous versions. Thnx for bringing it to attention.
Philip Glass 9:01 to 9:12 anyone else hearing it? There’s that. And nice visual symmetry “bridge” pattern at 2:16 and again at 5:30 and 13:52. Another pattern at 2:46 and 6:00 and again 14:22. Then the “sprites” that appear around 0:16 and 3:30 and 4:15. This whole visual rendering is amazing, beautiful, and enhances music appreciation. I’m busy creating a playlist to share.
The greatest symphony of all time is a very subjective question, but I imagine most "music professionals" would rate the 9th as greater. It shows a far greater mastery of the symphonic craft that this work during Beethoven's middle period. Personally, I would rate the 9th, 7th, 6th higher.
@@ite5643 In 2016, the BBC did a poll of 150 of the world's most well known conductors. It was they that picked the Eroica as #1. It's so important, it's considered the transition point from Classical symphonic form to the Romantic.
***** Eroica is seen as the start of the Romantic period by many. If it wasn't the start of "music as emotional expression" then the 5th most certainly was.
+smalin I wish you'd render or interpret Saint Saen's Symphony No 3 in c minor Opus 78 the Organ Symphony in this visual form. In that hope I'm subscribing to your RUclips channel
You 're an absolute genious. I csnnot thsnk you enough for this. I love music, but i can't read notes. Kind of dyslexia. But you make me posible to at least get a certain idea what it is all about. Thanks, imnensly thanks❤❤❤
If I have it correctly, the second theme (for sonata form) starts at 9:16 - and only Beethoven could successfully milk the first theme the way he does. Did you ever think about a different color/shape scheme for the second theme or other parts of music, such as rondos, etc.?
I've experimented with using different shapes/forms/relationship for different themes/rates/effects (e.g. see Mozart, Symphony 41, Jupiter, 4th mvt. (shapes)), but for the most part, I'd prefer to visualize lower-level forms (patterns), so that the viewer could see these things automatically, without me playing a "curator" role.
+Bettystar Kampayana You can. The whole of the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th are available. The 1st movement of the 1st is also uploaded. Search through smalin's channel.

Thank you so much for doing this! The "Eroica" is my favorite Beethoven symphony, I was waiting for this to happen. On a side note, how difficult would it be for you re-animate the works you already have a video of in this new style? The Ninth would look fantastic!
It would be interesting to see if the colors and shapes in the video affected how our brain interprets the music. By the way, did anyone see this because of Nodame Cantabile?
Hey, smalin! How did you choose this tempo? I know Beethoven marked it at 180 bpm (even though nobody plays it that fast). Thanks so much for the re-upload!
***** indeed - i didn't notice the exact number of chords before. i associatet Beethoven's passage to Rite's movement "Augurs of Spring", there it's a polychord consisting of E major (written as Fb) and Eb7 (guess if not from his illness, Beethoven would become deaf from this dissonance ;) )
Is there a name for this display? I've never seen or heard of it before... Tell me about it if you don't mind.. Thanks for posting. Adore this movement.
+kiki86no The project is called "Music Animation Machine" and people sometimes use that name to refer to the display. Or "bar-graph notation." I now call what I'm making "animated graphical scores."
9:12 This part could have been even more like the famous chords of the Rite of Spring of Stravinsky. Beethoven had in mind alost Stravinsky's chord but Beethoven ended preffering a less primitive sound.
@@ze_rubenator It still reminds me of the chords Stravinsky used. Of course the ones in Beethoven's symphony aren't taken from Stravinsky but you never know if Stravinsky took some inspiration from this movement.
Can anybody help me out, please! At 15:10 that particular melody I can't get it off my mind. And it's being years of such. In this video I finally see it coming and the visual interpretation is quiet helpful. But, there is got to be a name for that little segment. And how he came up with it? Please, help!!!!
At 15:10, Beethoven is making a sequence based on the first four notes of the main theme of the movement (which first happens at 0:07). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_(music)

I love how Beethoven switches from loud and brash to soft and quiet, and it never seems so abrupt that it doesn't fit together.

Beethoven is such a genius.
No doubt bout that
So Smalin is with this geniality

I just can't stop listening to Beethoven music
9:07 is sooo beautiful!
Beethoven's symphonies are just SO SATISFYING TO LISTEN AND WATCH

I always think of them as the equivalent of musical brakes before the music begins to roll excitedly forward again.
omg! that's brilliant ... and I agree. Thanks
This and the 3rd movement of the 9th are, in my opinion, the two most beautiful pieces ever written. This particular recording beats many more famous versions. Thnx for bringing it to attention.
Then which movement is longer?
This Symphony, and especially this movement, sound just perfect transcribed for piano.
I can't imagine the rage Beethoven felt once he heard of Bonaparte crowning himself "Emperor."
Hey Abe!
So angry that he un-dedicated one of his works to him! (I can't remember which)
@@holyrolypolyBefore the emperor, this was the Bonaparte symphony.
8:30 - 9:16 never ceases to amaze me. What a catharsis! So bold. I can only imagine how shocking it must have been when people first heard it.
Indeed.
+TheWindWaker333 I know right it's just so perfect and beautiful !
Wow, what an interpretation - well said - thanks!
Mr. Smalin I love your work.

Shows the shape of the music better than a traditional score.
that's the point!
10:59 to 11:10 ...so eloquent and elegant.
I greatly enjoy your videos. So well done.
I don't know why, but with this beautiful score I find the music more entrancing. Well, maybe because I don't understand much of standard scores.

+fa18hornet for me it's hard to study but because of the feelings, i keep getting absorbed by the Eroica feelings

Hi thanks for the beaut itul video.
1:33 the ending of the first movement of Mozart's 39th symphony :)
I noticed that Beethoven used to inspirate from Mozart
I listened to both several times. It seems to be just a general resemblance. Isn't it?
ruclips.net/video/cYnJWkvOYT8/видео.html....as well as the intro
@@kopite1963
It is well known that Beethoven took this intro to reformulate in his 3rd.
just in case you don't know the notes, dark blue is Eb, red is G, and so on.
Starts and ends a with a couple of bangs to wake you up
That is Beethoven ‘My N.....a’ like Denzel Washington would say
Jimi Hendrix experience

Majestic, grand, beautiful
and with this piece Beethoven surpasses Mozart and all before him
Slightly controversial statement...
Wars Boerse care to elaborate?
Yeah, I would at least wait until his sonatas or string quartets to say he is definitely better than Mozart and all before him
But then it is not fair because the others did not live as long
Not until the 5th.😀
Phenomenal!
This is so cool!
Hey, smalin! How did you choose this tempo? I know Beethoven marked it at 180 bpm (even though nobody plays it that fast). Thanks so much for the re-upload!
The tempo was chosen by the conductor, Adina Spire.
9:07. The chord that changed the face of Western music.
Fmaj7/A
I don't think it's THAT unusual...
MAGNIFICENT
9:10
reminds me of Stravinsky's Sacre....(loudly played string chords, even half of the "Rite" chord tonality^^)
