My rewards on Earth (as rare as they are) still are very much appreciated and deserve much thanks. So to you I say, "Thank you. Your support for my Scrolling Bach Project means very much to me".
It feels surreal coming here and learning that Gerubach has passed away. This year has been so sad for music. These videos never fail to fascinate me. I've shown these to children I've worked with and they love it too. If there is an afterlife, I hope he is with Bach and telling him about his legacy.
He has passed away, oh... well... that is... unfortunate. How did you come across this information, and what was going on with that?
How do you know if he passed away? Are you telling the truth? How do you know that?

I really love this music and it seems like a gothic concert. I must listen It for the music's exam at università!
god bless you gerubach.
As I began watching and saw that the rate of movement of the highlighted scrolling area was changing rather than changing bar lengths to match note values I knew that a good bit of effort must have been involved for you. This is wonderful and thanks very much for doing it, as others have said there's so much effort involved in this not in just the performance.
It is unlikely you will read this, but I will share this with you anyway. The amount of joy your channel (and visual depictions) bring me is immeasurable. I'm thankful to be alive in a time where such beauty is but a few finger taps away. Your dedication is a service to humanity. Thank you, gerubach.

Prelude from the beginning of the video in case anyone was wondering
One of the most beautifull music
The prelude in C minor is so beautiful. Minor keys are generally used to express sadness, this piece, however, it almost expresses an emotion that doesn’t even exist, or at the very least one that we don’t have a name for currently in English. For me it is experienced as almost a combination of frustration, regret and subtle anger which heals throughout the piece and comes to a point of acceptance when the C seventh chord is struck after the presto. Such emotional maturity and complexity woven so concisely and written out clearly on a staff in such a vivid way just goes to show what a genius of a craftsman Bach was when it came to music, and expressing how humans experience emotion.
Love this comment, I feel the same way, that prelude is like a journey through 100 emotions we just don't have any names for, emotions you didn't even know existed till you heard that piece, all summed up in the most divine way, how he wrote it I have no idea, but I am grateful I found it.
To expand, these are emotions that aren't new to you, you have felt these so strongly your whole life, but didn't know what they sounded like until master Bach pointed them out to you. That's why his music is so personal and communicative to me. Awesome.
He doesn't just show you what the emotions sounds like, he lays the emotions out there in the most pure form, illuminating the universe and actually teaching you more about yourself, your brain, life and reality. He does this every single second of the whole 48, it's why I regard these as more educational than the best textbooks or material the world has to offer; they can be good but at the end of the day they aren't written in this divine, powerful and universal language. In this manner, Bach is the best teacher and he is completely unrivalled and unparalleled to the current day.
slatefx That was exhilarating to read. I especially love the way that you put how we have all felt these emotions but we didn’t know what they sounded like until Bach pointed them out, and how much listening to Bach can teach you about yourself, the world around us and human nature. It is indeed uncanny and confronting listening to Bach’s music and being faced with the music, almost like the composer knew us all personally and how to jerk at our hearts, but it is confronting in a good a tasteful way that adds another dimension of appreciation and awe at the genius of the music and our good God. It really is so true that Bach teaches us what our emotions _sound_ like.
@@gtalover1233 Yeah, I know it is cliche but he knows me better than anyone I have ever met, puts my personal emotions into music, speaks my language if you will. So weird considering he has been dead for 300 years, but his music is so communicative in every possible way, emotionally, conceptually, spiritually, that I honestly feel some aspect of 2 way communication with him. Sounds really far out, just some freaky shit I can't explain. Just down to how expressive and unique and emotionally resonant his stuff is. Like a secret that just me and him share when it comes to understanding reality, that shared understanding is absolutely tangible. Sounds a bit arrogant idk, I know a lot of other people feel the same, I am just being honest with what his music means to me. :)
R. I. P. Gerubach! Pleace, RUclips, do not delete these videos! They are a source of joy, calming and learning for so many people, like me! These videos are probably the work of Gerubach's life! This musician was a extremely good harpsicord player, and he had passed away too early. Bt tat is te fate of so many people, that they have to go, when the time is come. People have not to determinize that. I am very sad.
Ikr like I found this channel in my first year of middle school ( 2022) and it’s so amazing and I’d be pretty sad if these videos were gone

Nobody:
J.S. Bach: "hmm, there's a new tuning system? Better write two books of Preludes and Fugues in every single key, and change the course of music history forever."
Bruh he made the tuning system I’m pretty sure
You were almost right, here’s what actually happened:
J.S. Bach: well well, look what i found, a new tuning system never thought of before ! Imma just leave here some little work of mine, just in case.
Btw i liked just to reach 69 likes lmao
Bach: Let's make a book for beginners.
True! The WTC is widely considered as the "old testament of piano music"
Also Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, etc studied it throughout their childhood.
@@flavionessuno5085 Underrated comment. Bach was the ultimate master and notoriously judgmental of his students' and performers' abilities.
I used to play the prelude in C major to impress the girls in college. When they asked me where the rest of it was.... I walked away.
The "Titanic" theme works so much better and it's far easier than the WTC.
Citriano Torres In "C" isn't too difficult. Some of the others are.
I can play only the C prelude...Let's try the fugue.lol
Paul Georgevits You could try to play another prelude instead.
So did I *LOL*
I don't think there is a single person who has ever contributed so much to the science of music as J.S. Bach.
Interesting choice of words. Dont you think music is an art rather than a science.
My friend, who is a pianist, always says that music is a audial manifestation of mathematics, especially if we talk about classical musicians like Bach or Hendel.
Charlie parker

Music is math
This idea of "scrolling sheet music" is great...it gives those of us who read music (but can't necessarily play the instrument(s) involved) yet another reason to enjoy it! Thanks! :)
Yes I agree
its bad for my eyes :\
I agree, it’s an excellent idea!
@@douknow2 That's how Bach went blind it is said that he would write pieces in poor light.
Imagine if chord inversions were included
When I first listened to the Well-Tempered Clavier, I cried at certain points; I'd never heard such beautiful music.
Well-put! I'm just looking for a kleenex to wipe my eyes: BOTH of THEM!...
This BWV 858b - 58:16 - F# Major - Fugue sounds so good, isn't it?
@@gustavogavanzo8903 You say one of the most beautiful pieces of music.
I love how starting at 1:38:28 Bach introduces the theme 5 times in the course of only two measure, each one descending beneath the one preceding it, and they blend so naturally that I would not have even noticed if it weren't marked in the score. Doesn't get any better than this.
This is one of the wonderful things about Bach. It's generally always more than what meets the ear. Once you open the score and look deeply you realise that there's a whole architectural side to Bach which is filled with intricacies and brilliance.
I find Bach to be not only one of the greatest composers of all time but also one of the most chill. He wrote this masterpiece to show how the new technique could be helpful, and then after that he went back to do some of the old techniques. That’s basically him creating AC power in that time saying “yeah I can see why this could be helpful for the average standard of living, but I would rather use oil lamps personally.” He really did not care how people thought of him and I would imagine he would be really confused if he learned that he became one of the greatest musicians ever.
couldnt have said it better myself, my dino headed friend!
The whole book? Yup! (Bach didn't leave me much choice!). The 2nd book should be up before October. I think you'll enjoy that one too! As always, thanks for your positive feedback~!
There is nothing to add or adorn the reputation of Bach, the absolute and ultimate in music, so far. In quality and quantity, variety, even a security of participation in listening, Bach offers us the idea of universal love and understanding, almost beyond doubt.
Bach's works were so complicated, with intricate layers of melodies
Though he could play them without any trouble
If I had to choose to play and to listen to two and only two pieces of music for the rest of my life, it would be this and the Goldberg Variations. There has never been a higher grade of perfection in this world than Bach's piano works. A cathedral of pure light...
1. "Higher grade of perfection"? Surely there can only be perfection, not grades of perfection.
2. Bach didn't compose ANY piano works. Just because you play them on piano doesn't make them piano works. If you played them on xylophone, would that make them xylophone works?
@@herrickinman9303 Yes, Sir. Thank you, Sir.
Beethoven 9 Ode to Joy
Handel The Messiah
Mozart [anything- your choice #free2choose]
so... a lot of music out there that without question can be objectively called a HIGHER GRADE of perfection & a cathedral of LIGHT... seriously dude I love Papa Bach as well yet I know it is NOT the BEST music ever... that's just ignorance posing as wisdom.
"The best proof we have that life is good, and therefore that there may perhaps be a God after all, who has our welfare at heart, is that to each of us, on the day we are born, comes the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. It comes as a gift, unearned, unmerited, for free." J.M. Coetzee
What a quote. True aswell.
This is exactly what I didn't know I was looking for all along. Thank you so so much. The musical beauty that Bach has uncovered makes me question the true boundless limits of humanity.
Great just great. It’s like going for a scuba dive, you start at middle C on the surface gradually getting deeper till you arrive at that bottom note - C again but deeper - as if finding the treasure, then you celebrate with the final chord.Congratulations to anyone who can play this. And that’s just the first piece! The rest is way beyond my understanding. I need another lifetime. Thank you J.S. Bach
This guy Bach really is great, can't wait for his next album to come out.

I was listening he will release something with Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift

RIP Gerubach. Thank you for contributing to the spread of J. S. Bach’s music, and bringing joy and inspiration to millions of people like myself.
I like the strip at the bottom telling me which prelude/fugue is being played. Capital letter for major, lower case for minor. Well thought out. Lets me know where I am.
its insane, every key in is here
*****
That was the point of the composition: to present music to be played in all keys, which is impossible unless the keyboard is tuned in such a way that all relations and intervals are equally and slightly out of tune. When one key is perfectly in tune, moving to other keys in the circle fifths one finds more and more out of tune-ness until it is harsh enough that it is given up as non-playable. Bach opens up the world of tonality through this display of credible (incredible) pieces for an equally tuned keyboard.
Alan Knight
Other composers had done this before Bach.
Alan Knight
I have a doctorate in music, and as such you check out your information and its sources. Apparently, what I just wrote about equal tuning is mis-information:
www.kylegann.com/histune.html
Alan Knight
You seem to imply that Bach used equal temperament in the tuning of his instrument. He did in fact use Well Temperament which causes different keys to have different colour as one progresses round the cycle of fifths. It is not an "equally tuned keyboard". Equal temperament, where all semitones have a frequency ratio of the twelfth root of two, was not used until the 20th century.
O genial da música de Bach é que ela pode ser tocada no cravo, no piano, no violino, no violão, na guitarra, na sanfona/acordeon, na gaita, na harpa, na flauta, etc, etc, etc. A música desse CARA é, de fato genial! ... e é ATEMPORAL E MULTINSTRUMENTAL!

Bach=GENIUS so simple yet so complex
@Aryn Dorneal He created extremely complex counterpoints based on relatively simple harmonic concepts (we percieve them as simple today because they became the norm for the study of music, but they were incredibly revolutionary and ground breaking at the time).
The amazing feature of both parts of the WTC is that the entire seemingly limitless diversity of their constituent pieces fits precisely into 4 octaves (as is the case with 2- and 3-part inventions), which allows them to be played even on a very modest instrument. A 49-note keyboard is enough to perform a great deal of Bach's pieces as they were written, without any accommodating adjustments. And it was clearly Bach's intention to make them accessible to any student of music. A proof that a genius can achieve great results with very limited means, if he has chosen so :)
Exactly! I am really not that good at piano up to now ( practically just an ''advanced beginner''' ) but I love seeing how Bach's pieces are surprisingly acessible.
Bach had not other option; in his time keyboards are small.
WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ON A BACH VID......
oh wait.
It means Well Tempered Clavier.
In a way all art is creative expression with self-imposed boundaries. (Side-note: Claviers and Harpsichords at the time only had a few octaves!)
Jay Preis same
I love this! Both Books of the Well Tempered Clavier are genius! Bach is my favorite composer ever. :D
Dude you're my favorite. I can't believe i found this lol. Hope all is well!
Bach knew how to always write the good stuff
THIS IS A WONDERFUL UPLOAD, WITH A LOT OF WORK DONE BY YOU!
THANK YOU !
Thank you Gerubach for creating this monumental offering. It’s difficult to single out any one piece, but for me the most emotionally moving is Bach’s Prelude X in E Minor 43:20 that was used as the background music recounting history’s most shameful act of World War II when Jewish children were separated from their families in an attempt to protect them from the Nazi’s who were rounding up Jewish families and forcing them to go to Extermination Camps for Execution. The chapter is heart breaking. The left hand has a grinding relentless theme that conveys something of the painful journey across Europe these children had to make to secure their safety.
in which film/movie/documentary was this used as background music?
I have read a book about this historical things, how Jewish children were brought to Britain because of protection from the Nazis and I feel with these people and children from once , because it must been extremely hard for them to grow up without their parents and theit familiar surrounding and to experience strangeness and often enough also refusing by the people who are not strange. Te oldest children ad often to work as housemaids or houseboys, and probably they missed their parents. And it adds the fact, that tey experienced later that their parents had been killed by the Nazis. Some very young children became also ill because of the much emotional stress and the traumatic experiences they had to make. ut all these children survived. I can imagine that the music of JSB had calmed these children and one can use the music as a therapy, also for te older persons wit these or similar experiences.
Excuse my misspelling mistakes! The computer was "crazy" some times and ejected me from the internet still before I could save my comments. Therefore I was in a hurry, I did not wanted to start writing once more
I wish bach was alive so that I can learn to compose this Preludes and Fugues. I luv Prélude No.6 in D minor in that part. 22:39 is my favorite that the piece diverts it to F major
My favorite RUclips channel. Your work is brilliant, uplifting, edifying, innovative and in excellent taste. Thank you for all the hard work put into affording us these treats!
The music needs no comment from me, and will live for as long as the human race exists. But the video is a beautiful thing. Well done.
HAHAHA

love this!!!
Actually this can outlast the human race. It was included in the Voyager Golden Record.
You are correct. Harpsichords do have great lows. (My taste leans more towards a low pluck rather than a low strike!). In regards to your inquiry about the performer and the album, that information is at 1:52:15. (Please bear in mind that I had to raise the original recording's tone up by a whole step in order to match an A = 440hz tuning).
Amazing music. Bach was/is probably the greatest of all composers. others stand on his shoulders to push the art forward. This video is amazing, showing the real time correlation of the sound with the score. How did Bach have time to write so many notes thoygh thousands of pieces, masterpieces...
Well, not recording one studio album each year or two and then going on tour to play the same ten songs dozens of times helped.
How did Bach have time to do all his composing while also fathering 20 children?
@@richardhoffman4683 he probably didnt fathered them xd.
@gaboelexo he fathered and they often were close to.him
Gilbert's performance of Bach is enlightening -and you can hear the influence of Gustave Leonhardt.... I always come back to his interpretations even though Glenn Gould's performance of the Well-Tempered Clavier are inspiring in a different way. Awesome upload-thank you!
I've never seeing an approach like that on a youtube video! Thanks, my dear friend! Best regards from Brazil!
I think Bach is the crescendo of composers. Music of ultimate beauty and complexity.
Except that a crescendo is the climb, not the summit.
Wow, I love this presentation! Just started playing again after many years. Loved Switched On Bach from childhood, worked to master Two-part Invention #14 in high school, went to many organ concerts featuring Bach. Now I have my first books of Well Tempered Clavier and am thrilled to find your channel when looking for nice recordings. Big thanks and 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
SUPERB! Feats attained by combining musical talent and technical prowess, like this one, deserve the highest acclaim!!
Esta intrepetacion en Clavicordio me lleva a pensar en el gran esfuerzo que supuso a Bach sacar su familia adelante a pesar de todos los incovenientes que se le presentaron en su vida.
Feliz quien comprende la obra y el esfuerzo del PADRE DE LA ARMONIA
"Bach should be played in tempo". You mean like a sewing machine? Since a harpsichordist cannot make literal crescendos or diminuendos, it is the use of timing that influences how the listener can hear subtle differences in dynamic shading.
"Like a sewing machine." That is the greatest analogy... :)
I have heard Bach described as "a sublime sewing machine".
If I want to hear a musical rendition of a sewing machine, I'd rather hear a work by George Antheil or Phillip Glass, not Bach.
I was simply repeating the quote, one which I never liked all that much. I read it in a Newsweek article about Bach in the 1980s that had Bach on the front cover if you can believe that. I think I have it stashed away somewhere. Anyway I would use other terms to describe Bach. Sublime, inevitable, eternal, revelatory... impossible. Yes, impossible for clearly no one this smart could have actually existed. I think we are all suffering from a massive group hallucination whenever we think we are listening to it.
@@richardhoffman4683 john cage
That harpsichord has the longest sustain/decay I've ever heard. It sounds like it's 6 metres long and is being played in a Gothic cathedral. That said, I love it. Congrats to both performer and audio engineer. The interpretations are as pristine and transparent as one could hope for. Special praise for pulling off the C-sharp minor Fugue. No matter what those two countersubjects are doing, you never lose track of the subject. Bravo.
Wonderful analysis. Thanks for helping refresh me on the finer points of fugue composition!
Thank you HoodedPianist1. I'll keep them coming as much as life permits me to. I owe it to Bach (and the amazing talents of the performers who play his music) to show his genius & hard work though out the World Wide Web in a scrolling point of view.
Can't imagine the immense work you put on this, thank you!
Bach is my all-time favourite, yet I am not able to appreciate his music as much as I want too because I have no formal musical education. I really appreciate all this wonderful work so that people like me can get a bit more of Bach's music. This is what gives sense to RUclips, not some computer nerd opening a box of a motherboard and spewing smalltalk for 30 minutes when he could just say it all in less than 2 minutes.
Really, really amazing this visualisation of the music. Thanks for gerubach, even showing us the tonalities.
Las obras de J. S. Bach son de una profundidad y expresividad asombrosa, por supuesto que hay que ponerse en la época...sin embargo trascienden como solo lo hacen las obras de los grandes de la música....
beautiful - Bach is the soul of music I love - thank you
Thank you for posting these. I marvel at how Bach could write such beautiful, complex music with such apparent ease and skill.
I am just guessing here but he prob spent a lot less time on YT & a lot more on his harpsichord than the avg human being, certainly!

What miracle has Bach wrought !!!!!!! I have never heard the Harpsichord version, till now
The Bb Minor fugue will always be one of my favorite pieces by Bach. Especially when played on the piano. It's so fragile and moving.
Richter's version is touching in particular

Bach was exposed to & studied all those who came before him, even as far back as Josquin Deprez. He studied them, imitated them then surpassed them. From that point on all or at least MOST composers studied Bach for their own edification. "His name should not have been "bach" meaning stream/brook but instead "ocean" for his profoundness!" - Beethoven. "Bach's music is the bread of life!" - Stravinsky.
Thank you very much for this video! It's magnificently instructive to study the scores of Bach's well-tempered harpsichord

I enjoy very much Kenneth Gilbert's interpretation and your work on the visual area is exceptional, thanks gerubach!
Thanks so much for putting this up...it has made my day!
Thank you for bringing this beautiful piece of art us alive to listen.
This music transports me to heaven, every time I hear it Every note seems to be so right. When I am on my exercise bike all the discomfort of exercise. goes away and I find that I have done. 45 minutes When listening to it . This happens on a regular basis Bach is. great gift to the world
Thank you!
I'm playing Praeludium und Fuga C moll and it's so much great!
You get up in the morning, walk to the harpsichord and play anything from the wtc - it's the best beginning of a day!
This is brilliant, thank you so much for making this.
Bach is the best composer I know ! He should Not be called "Bach", he should be called "Meer"!
bester englisch den ich je gesehen hat.
+toothless toe Bach means stream or rivulet; meer means sea or ocean
+KG123 "bester deutsch" den ich je gesehen "hat"
@Smartly Wealthy The Work of J.S.BACH is proof there is a G-D!!!
Gerubach, you're a great artist. This is for learning, understanding and enjoying music. Thanks for uploading, and keep up the good work!! ;-)
My first time hearing this played on a harpsichord! Can you imagine my amazement?
It seems to fit so well to this instrument!
EXCELSO!! MARAVILLOSO!! SUBLIME!! FANTÁSTICO!! BELLO!!
The harpsichord sounds so bright and enchanting. I was swept away beginning with the opening prelude.
EDIT: do you hear the vibrations at 3:10 that the major seventh entails? Incredible. Did Bach hear the major seventh like that in his mind? Or more muddy, mellow, as this major seventh often sounds on piano or organ?
I don't think anyone is ever over-thinking Bach. In my view the resonance of notes together is one of the fundamentals of his music
Just wanted to say...great job. Love the aesthetics and function of your graphics choices...I love the scored youtube videos...I like to play along with my cello or my violin and follow a voice. The visibility here is wonderful...Nice work..thanks for posting.
This is wonderful and a chemist and an expert in pollution control of forever chemicals i have limited time to pick these up on the piano. See the music at the same time as I hear it truly opens doors. Thank you
Me alegro de que mis animaciones han sido útiles para usted. Aprecio lo que has publicado y esta información me ayuda a continuar con mi trabajo.Espero de verdad a publicar más obras maestras de Bach acompañado por el talento de los artistas como Kenneth Gilbert en esta grabación. Muchas gracias.
Eres hispanohablante?
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll try to keep them coming rolldito.
These videos are very enjoyable, your taste in performers/performances is very good. Plus the work you do to achieve this is impressive.
Thank you for this video! I've come to the point where I can't listen to Bach's keyboard works on piano. The harpsichord brings so much character to his work that just stops me from whatever I'm doing and makes me listen.
En Clavesin ,es el original bellisimo ,graciias,buenas noche y un descanso reparador
Bach is a genius!!!!!

Bach is the most timely, timeless, enduring musician, pure quality, beauty.
Merci infiniment pour votre magnifique travail! C'est une merveille et l'interprétation de Keneth Gilbert est également magnifique. Vive J.S Bach, Le Génie de la Musique!
BWV 868a - 1:38:51 - B Major - Prelude
I love Bach❤️
it always mad humbling af listening to tha works of bach, esp welltempered clavier. like not only was dude prolific af, he arranged insane fuckin polyphonic music dat stands purely on its own merits & doesnt depend on genre association or stylistic effects or production values or lyrics or any of tha incidental, ancillary bullshit dat folk often mistake for music itself, to justify its existence. this shit is counterpoint at its most immediate, abstract, n potent; just rises & falls n notes against notes. these german cats went ham back in tha day
Loved the intro, loved the high definition sound, loved the scroll bar, loved the key indications on the bottom. This is a priceless tool for anyone studying Bach or who just wants to appreciate the music of one of the greatest, if not greatest, composer of all time. Thank for taking the patience to put this together.
I don't know if you take requests, but Rite of Spring would be an awesome piece to see scrolled with sheet music (who cares about copyrights).
Thanks for sharing! I was not aware Bach's famous work here consisted of two books lasting 4 hours and 30 minutes when completely performed. To my knowledge Bach's intent with this work was educational. This makes for excellent background music anytime of day or night. I love the sound of this musical instrument, a forerunner to the modern piano.
19:17 this part makes me happy for some reason
***** D is the happiest key :D
Simon Lengyel Did you know that most of Nature (the birds and various other critters 'sing' in D Major or D minor? There's a reason for this. Very interesting observation... "happy" indeed. CVD
***** Maybe the tempo? The lively Allegro perks me up too.
***** Also try 8:51.
Ode to Joy was written in D major, just saying
17:45 those basses though
La inmortalidad de Bach... un ser de otra galaxia..de otro universo, es ahí donde te llegas con su arte.
Wonderful job Thanks so much! I love this whole volume! it was my favourite passtime to play on and one... for many years.
Bach wrote a prelude and a fugue for each key? Fam... This guy had time.
*****
Really? I thought Mozart learned about J.S. Bach late in his life. Mozart did say "Bach is the father, we are the kids." but about C.P.E. Bach and Mozart also said he was inspired by J.C. Bach's concertos.
Rickard Dahl Indeed J.S. wasn't much popular at his time and after his death in the early classical period, his sons were better known and appreciated.
Jay Preis
So, late in his life just like I meant/said. Relative to how long Mozart lived, it is late.
Jay Preis
Sorry but that's what I meant. Sorry if you misunderstood it. I made a correct point but wrote it in a bad way I suppose.
***** I think Bach's wives contributed far and away more effort than Bach did in birthing 21 children.
46:08 The secret 16th 2 part invention.
You really are doing a wonderful job for us all out here.
If you were able to put these onto a DVD I am sure there are many of your (and JSB's) fans who would like to buy it - if only to offer some practical thanks to you for all your efforts. I'm sure if music teachers and schools had it available as an educational tool, your fame amd good works would spread even wider.
Whatever you decide, I'm sure your reward will be in heaven - it's rarely to be had on earth!
Keep up the good work!
You are welcome Paul. The hard work pays off which kind comments like yours. Thank you.

That time signature
Oh my god😂
24/16=3/2 Pretty simple
@@victorprokop2240 in music it is not the same I think, just as with e. g. 6/8 and 3/4, there is a difference in intonation.
@@victorprokop2240 It's more of a 6/4 time rather than 3/2.
@@greenhotdog12345 and Patrick Alpha Not intonation, but rhythmic feel. Also the feel is clearly 8*3 and not 3*2 or 6*4
you guys have really done a big, great work！
Lindo!!!!!
Muito obrigado por postar esta obra prima.
Thanks for posting this masterpiece.
Wonderful job, thank you!
