@@aa-lb4je Error in quantizing. The piece was played by hand , the computer thinks in time units while recording to make thinks match. But when a note is played slightly out of time it may be assigned to a wrong time unit and it seems that its played simultaneously with other notes.
@@rubyconem Sorry, but the piece wasn't played by hand, it's a transcription of a score (using scoring software like MuseScore) imported to synthesia. You can tell it's a robot because of how perfectly the notes last and coincide with measure starts. This piece is scored for 4 hands, probably
I think that the transcriptions are not so good. They are at some places excessively difficult and somewhen not capturing what Beethoven intended the moments to sound like.
I strongly disagree, for me they are perfect examples of how a masterful transcription should sound. They allow us to clearly distinguish some nuances which sometimes are really hard to even notice on the orchestral version.
One of my greatest works yet. Many thanks to my dear friend Franz for transcribing these. I have commenced a performance of the 9th for Archduke Rudolph.
Friend? He's 41 years younger than you! 😂😂😂 You could probably call him son or grand-disciple. Haha. And definitely you both are one of the greatest giants in the history of music.
Thank you so much for this! Got a CN39 on the way and think it might be fun to try playing this with strings + piano at the same time. Really appreciate all your work sharing these, thank you again. 💓
Love the transcription but it's just the smallest bit too fast. Keeping it at original speed really helps movements e.g. deliver their magnificent chord arrangements & melody lines.
There is no such thing as 'original speed' when talking about music before the time recording was invented. If you are talking about the 2nd movement, all Beethoven is saying for that one is 'Allegretto' which translates to 'Moderately fast' It is like you if are driving, and someone tells you to drive at a moderate speed instead of saying 'go at 42km/hr'. You have to interpret yourself what the person means by that Also, since you said 'original tempo' - it's important to note that Beethoven was given a metronome very late in his life and he added precise metronome marks to his major pieces. Those metronome marks are unreasonably fast, so fast that people rarely perform his music according to his own metronome markings. The tempo in this video is not even close to what the 'original-original speed'
PianoCzarX extrapolating from tempo markings & notion generally, since we're talking about movement 2, slower. I don't mind the tempo too much but drawing it out a little bit more would really allow listeners to enjoy all the intricate details. I'd advise listening to the full orchestra playing this fast & then comparing it to a slower version. You get to appreciate the written music so much more that way, you're allowing you ears to soak up the marvellous polyphonic layering & wonderfully crafted string sections.
There are a lot of intricate details in Beethoven's music that what you hear varies from recording to recording. Some conductors may prefer a bit more violas here or a bit more cellos there when making a recording or practising for a performance. As with many things, there are at least two ways of listening and enjoying the piece - you can enjoy it by listening to it closely, getting lost in the beauty of sound; or you can try and feel the emotion the composer tried to convey with a piece of music, regardless of whether it is a beautiful one, an imperfect one or an ugly one. A good recording can show you exactly that. That said, this video is by no way a good recording - it's a computer playing a good-enough MIDI file with zero emotion. I didn't touch the tempo setting when making the video
It not unplayable at all, Liszt has an *ossia* (the fast running notes up the keyboard) along with a preferred passage (the trills) in the sheet music (check it out), this MIDI file plays both of them at the same time and thus, it is apparently unplayable...but it really isn't.
@@phillach5181 no rach also could reach 13th but studies comproved that liszt's hands was very very slightly smaller then tachs and he also could reach a 13th we can know that by the scultured shape of his hands
@@lucaslorentz ive red a book about the greatest pianist and it mentionned that everybody thought Liszt had massive hands but Liszt claimed it wasnt true and that he could only reach a tenth.Also If you play Liszt you can see big stretches arent as present as with rach.The biggest stretch ive seen on a liszt piece was an 11 th were as rach frequently has 12th 13th stretches
