FAQ
Q: What happened to the original version of this video?
A: The first version of this video was based on a recording I licensed from Royalty Free Classical Music ...
royalty-free-cl...
.. in 2009. In 2012, it appeared that the license might not be valid for my use (on my RUclips channel; some of RFCM's recordings were pirated, see ...
www.rhinegold.c...
... so I got a second license (for the same recording) from Premium Beat. When. in 2015, Premium Beat discovered that the recording had been pirated, they removed it from their catalog, refunded my license fee, and hired an eastern European pick-up orchestra to record a new version (which is what I've used in this video). The performance in this new recording is not as good as the original --- which is not surprising since the pirated recording was most performed by a world-class orchestra. If you'd like to help pay the license fees to a better recording, I'd be happy to re-do this video; please read this ...

This is my favorite symphony, I can't believe he wrote this when he was pretty much deaf. So inspirational
Mine too
Can you believe it was also used in a movie?

I know nothing about music,can,t read a note.But my ears,my heart and my brain allow me to enjoy every beautiful note. I can then
appreciate the genius of the composers.
Beethoven was especially good at building tension through gradual change in dynamics. This piece illustrates that perfectly
my favorite piece of music. I'm not musically educated but this piece speaks to me of a profound sadness, yet acceptance and ultimately triumph. words fail me.
BluJay don't worry. LvB was always intended to compose music which can reach the heart of everyone always at every time. He was also the first "Rockstar" with a great audience. At the beginning of his carreer he performed a big piano tour through Europe.

It's hard to believe a human being could write something so perfect.
What an extraordinary visual representation of the music. Absolutely on point. Seems like you're not just listening to the music but staring into the mind of the composer.
I'm currently doing an online course exploring Beethoven's piano sonatas and the lecturer has just pointed out the following: "Beethoven is [...] the first composer to be attracted to the dramatic possibilities that come from mere repetition. I was shocked when a composer told me that he thought of the second movement of the seventh symphony as being the first ever work of minimalism."
What’s the course name I'm interested in exploring Beethoven masterpieces
@@keyboarddancers7751 cool
It's not the first minimalist work. It's far too melodic...especially with the counter melodies. The first minimalist piece of music was the first movement of the 5th. The entire movement exists on the repetition of a single, 4-note motif that can't, by itself, be considered a melody. In the parlance of todays music, it's based entirely on "riffs".

This makes me wonder if Beethoven wrote this about the dark side and the beautiful side of humanity. Close your eyes and listen to it and think about our human history. You can actually see our history played out in this symphony.
Somehow I don't see rap music having the same staying power as this music.
Hari Seldon Depends on which rap music, some it will be a part of classic American music like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and Gil Scott Heron. The thing is much of the mass-produced music today regardless of genre is made for quick bucks and not for lasting power. Add to this the Cambrian explosion of modern music styles and outlets such that the even best artists only get clique audiences. Unlike previous eras there really is no "mainstream" like radio or concert halls that indoctrinates "proper" music. Amazing artists that are just as great as Beethoven like Frank Zappa, Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, and others fade in a generation. We are currently a very ephemeral culture.
Tl;dr you like classical music and hate rap because the mainstream is dead.
Hari Seldon I'm solely a concert band and jazz player, yet many of my musician friends appreciate simpler music such as rap or electric subgenres because they require less mental attention and convey emotions in simpler ways. Their understanding allows them to appreciate these types of pieces more, but causes them to be exhausted. It's all about perspective.
This is gorgeous!! This, fellow humans,...this is what it's all about.We can do this. We are an amazing species.
I hope we can be one day...
Still the best bass drop ever
Famous Beethoven quotes.... ‘ I think this would be good in a film’
Knowing 2009
In this grave hour...
The sad background to this music was that Beethoven was losing his hearing so he created this song mirroring his sadness to never hear his music again

A human wrote this??
Depends where you draw the line between human and god.
+smalin tis' a line within a line.......as it were
we are all gods we all have the divine and infinite beauty of the universe within us
In my humble opinion Beethoven was No human, he was An Alien who came here to show us what real music is. We are not worthy.

Oooh, this is my new favourite thing. Really gives a great impression of what it's like to read a score to those who can't read music. The perfect movement to show graphically - thanks for your work!
I'm a sucker for wailing violins, especially building to a crescendo, this piece is my favorite for that

My condolences.
Yes it's most for condoleances
I like this, but I can remember the old version. The old version was so much better. It is understandable if you cant upload the old version, but could you pls say from wich performance and orchestra the old version was.
Fascinating this is the 432 Hz (=A) version versus 446Hz. Im listening to this 432Hz version on 2 phones: one with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and this one. Of course... Berlin version wins :) . Love all your notations!! Thank you. Bashar spoke about the healing effict of esp the first 3 minutes. Theres a 30 minute loop of it on youtube ohmmmm
Beethoven being deaf, he would have loved seeing this display of his work.
He wasn’t deaf 100 % yet when writing this

I think this is my favourite piece of classical music ever ! 💜💕
ya know, after the 9th, the 5th, the 3rd, and the 6th... #7 still kicks some ass.
learning it at the guitar with my orchestra, such a powerful symphony, so majestic 🙏
This song never ceases to amaze me even after hearing it many hundreds of times, and this visual representation is stunning. Thank you!
Beethoven en su mejor expresión! Pero yo nunca la he considerado una marcha fúnebre. El Adagio de la Heroica sí que es fúnebre.
Esta séptima sinfonía la llamó Wagner "Apoteosis de la Danza" por ese carácter tan particular de sus movimientos. Sobre todo el Allegro inicial y el sonoro final.
These Visuals make it sound better
Interesting how that works, huh?
It allows you to hear better all the parts playing at once.
The sound makes the visuals look better.
i think this could get more people interested in classical music
For the second time in the lives of most of us, we are at war.

Don't stop. Keep watching until you can't do it any more.

The movement is glorious
Thank you for this
Once I had left the radio on when I went to bed, it was tuned to a classical music station. It was uneventful until I started dreaming of golden fields and wildly fantasist structures, and I was being pulled along as if in a ride. I couldn't see myself and I don't think I even was "me" in that dream; there was no plot or characters, it was just... like a bird flying in the airs with not a single care in the world, and throughout that dream I heard this song.
When I woke up I heard the end of the song on radio and I felt well-rested. Music's a hell of a thing.
I once had that happen. The music was Philip Glass' Einstein at the Beach. It was awesome.
Wow, that sounds so cool and incredible.
I've had very similar dreams and as you said they are the best dreams and waking up with a smile on my face :)
Music is a dreadful thing. What does it do? I don't understand it
We are born and we die, but in the meantime we are able to enjoy this piece of marvelous beauty
It's like walking out of the darkness towards the light. I can think of no other music which shows that in the same way.
@@CathyKitson You summed it nicely, but I have a bit darker view. To me, it conveys absurdity of a transient life. With a tiny glimmer of hope at the end.
@@natkojurdana9673 I agree. The darkness at the beginning encapsulates the tragedy of mankind.
This movement is a funeral march, as well as a variation.
Perfection. Every time. Amplified with a fine cognac and a leather recliner. Bravo.
Can of Stella and, doobie and a beanbag for me
Hauntingly beautiful as many put it. I find this piece so appropriate with the events going on around us. Feels almost too dramatic to be real but here we are.
I couldn't agree more. The feelings that come with the sound are inevitable and forced upon you by LVB. Amazingly beautiful! A perfect fit for the emotional landscape of our current time.
Have you heard how it's used in the film, The King's Speech? Another momentous time in history.
Perfectly put. 😞 ❣️
@@patriciakronk5351 I’ll need to check that out.
Never gets old. I wonder how Beethoven would react at seeing this.
I keep coming back here. It's my favorite piece and this helps me see what I hear. Thank you :)

The civil war is happening and I’m just gonna sip some wine and listen to this while bombs explode around me

Too much X-Men Apocalypse haha
last time the bass dropped that hard japan surrendered

Thanks to the visualization I could follow instruments in the orchestra that I never noticed before. Great work!
I used this in my D&D Campaing for my players going up against a lich who abandoned his castle, leaving an illusury image to tell them that their demise will not be by his hand but that of his newest creation that will surely destroy both the party and all that he had created. But after all, to a lich.... what is another Millennia of planning.... *enter the Necro Tarresque*
GLOORIOUUUSS!
I can't describe how wonderful this is and how it makes me feel. I can't so I won't. As promised. I just love it.
It's the biggest problem with the human mind. We cannot describe anything we feel to another person without using coarse analogies and metaphors. I guess we just have to assume everybody feels everything the same way.
Wonder if Beethoven ever said "this is music to my ears"
What a thoughtful and contemplative question!!!
Always.
How can ANYONE give this a thumbs down? Smh. This displays all that is going on in genius Ludwig’s mind ALL AT THE SAME TIME👍
Hey, do you music people know anything about the paintings of Pieter Mondrian? Well, this visual is to Beethoven what "Broadway Boogie-Woogie" is to Jazz! The two arts DO intersect sometimes!

Love this. Almost reaffirms my belief in the human race.
I have to say from a non sight reading musician this animation is nothing short of amazing! In terms of understanding what the individual parts are doing and their relationship to each other this makes it extremely easy to understand a dissect. Bravo - you have a new subscriber!

After hearing this in war thunder I drove myself mad trying to find this, then my ears pleased me, this song forever reminds me of a German pilot in flight now
Yah. For some reason when I hear this song, I imagine a Luftwaffe ace shooting down Spitfires while listing to this in his plane.
Oh, my God! My mortal words cannot begin to describe the beauty, majestry, emotions of a mere mortal composing this music!
I, a mere mortal, rock and roller, have played guitar for over forty years. The beauty of this humbles me to my heart and soul Happy Damn Birthday, Ludwid Van Beethovan. I feel your soul. This is my very favorite composition of yours. With much love.
who the hell dislikes Beethoven? go back to your elevator music.....!
You can add to the list of movies X-Men Apocalypse :)
and war thunde
I know this orchestra is different from the original upload but I'd love to give my absolute respect to the conductor who brought out the French horns as much as they did in this rendition. As a fellow French horn player ... Holy crap this scratched my need to hear mids brought through this distinctly.
The underappreciated part of Allegro 2 fascinates me
The melody, 1:56 usually takes center stage in media
I hear this every time that I see nuclear bombs straight up :^
einfach genial
Always the same, and now all this. No more stones. No more spears. No more slings. No more swords. No more weapons! No more systems! No more superpowers. . . . You can fire your arrows from the Tower of Babel, but you can never strike God!
I wonder why is It named "alegretto" . Cause first time I heard it, was the scene in movie when man goes to be EXECUTED. And it perfectly matched.. BEFORE all LvB WAS A MASTER 💪‼️
Allegretto is related to the speed of playing. Allegretto in italian means "quite happy", but musically the feeling it is not always related to speed, even if happier songs are faster.
@@dr.atlantis2194 Ok, understood.
I listen to this loud ......
old version was so much better though D;
In X-Men Apocalypse, this song plays during the scene where a bunch of nukes are launched up into space.
I am feeling a lot of despair and depression recently. This song is the perfect mood for it.
Try the funeral march from his 3rd, and the album "Hvis lyset tar oss" by Burzum. Good luck with your life!
@@itamarabramson5603 i will try it right now. I've been looking for music to meet the hopeless mood I'm feeling

Also mozart requiem and handel sarabande they are soo good ☺
Truly masterpiece. Always leaves me wanting for more
old one was better
Says who?
Smalin, do you still have the old version that you uploaded of this piece on your channel still? That was my favourite rendition of it, and I'd be devastated if it had been taken down.
All I hear when I listen to this is just complete heartbreak. It's beautiful on a level that so few of us could ever comprehend.
It just feels as if Beethoven would have done anything to hear his own music. You can feel that pain and frustration in this.
I so agree. The heartbreak is palpable. But I find a redemption in it too. Tentative, maybe; reached for, certainly. A sweet recall of what once was, or a longing for what could have been. Or both. It closes with a nod to neither heartbreak nor redemption. It's a settling in (especially organized graphically, in this vid; you can see it), an exhale. Acceptance, perhaps.
Rips my heart out every time, still ❤️
Just think though, he could still hear all this in his head. Beethoven is imprinted emotionally in these notes, the waves and harmony, discord and then triumphant hell no we won't go kind of attitude that inspires me to this day. He lived his dream, even when life said no, he said, no, back..
@@taraemcintyre .. I just couldn't agree more. The abyss coming up to engulf around 6:44 ?? full on despair @ 6:53 ?? .. Quiet reflection around 7:15 ?? .. I hear acceptance in the last bit, too. Just an incredible piece of music.
The 18th C had Mozart and Bach; the 19th C had Beethoven and Chopin and more... the 21st C has Cardi B and Kim Kardashian and all the deck-chair IQ people that subcscribe to that rap culture garbage... It's evident society started devolving in the later half of the 20th C

Shame that the better version got taken down :(
I really liked the flow.
what was the better version and why?
I love watchening to music.
This was recommended by Bashar, who says to "let it wash over you". I did.
Without a doubt, my favorite.
Smalin, what an ingenious person you are!
Thanks!
Is it just me, or does this performance feel like it lacks emotion? Feels rather robotic.
+mrwho995 I actually prefer the other version of this piece on this channel.
+mrwho995 The beginning in particular.
there's a difference, in music, between emotion and sloppiness
Not when viewed from a melancholy perspective.
It does feel like the orchestra is simply performing rather than expressing the music. Beethoven's art in particular deserves more passion.
Classic Smalin!! the music the visuals all what brought me back from the first time I experienced these works.
Thanks for putting something Very Good on the wwweb.
What a great way to illustrate the complexity of Beethoven's Seventh. The colors help the listener to hear when the melody is handed back and forth through the sections of the orchestra. I love the counterpoint.
Beautifully done. Really an enhancement of the experience for what it truly my favorite piece of music. Bravo and Thank You. I also love that you're using a version of this piece that is played in the perfect tempo. Having seen the piece done live a few times, sometimes it seems like it gets performed a tad quick for best effect IMO.
Great. Beethoven would be happy to see this! :)
He would be even happier to hear it hahahaha .
that's peak European civilization, and worth to preserve.
Love love love. I love this piece of music anyway, and the score really appeals to the synaesthesia in me. Previously I saw it as vines twirling round a central branch but this is much clearer. Is there any way to see the key? , ie which colours show which instruments, I can work out most of it but it changes in other scores.
Beethoven stole a lot of musical pieces from other composers. I hate to say it, but he ripped off so many pieces it is ridiculous. He isn't talented at all.
@@glorymanheretosleep That's funny.
@@aimilios439 I am not joking. He ripped off a lot of composers.
@@glorymanheretosleep I'm sure he did. But not to the note. Bach's Passacaglia and fugue in c minor is probably my favorite piece of music, but half its subject is stolen from a Passacaglia of Buxtehude. That makes Bach a thief? No, it makes him an artist that was inspired from an other, so a composer with inspiration. Maybe Beethoven has based a lot of his pieces on others, and at the time all did it and didn't tell so, but who cares? All the pieces he wrote where inspired. Of off his head or others. The good and the bad ones. But you saying with no proof he is not talented is just dumb. That's because in all of his music you can see it's Beethoven, he is consistent within his evolution. And many pieces that changed western music are undoubtedly his. He was radical, he was inspired by other composers, he wrote on paper somethings others have already written, but he went forward and most certainly is as talented as a human being can be. If you want to persuade me, send me your proof on my email, but please don't try to be great by failed attempts to ditch the already greatest ones. Have a nice day.
@@glorymanheretosleep He didn't rip off anyone. At that time it was very common for composers to use one another's ideas and it wasn't frowned on, at all. In fact it was almost inevitable considering one of the ways composers learned music theory and orchestration back then was to hand copy the music of other composers - which forces the student to question what's going on in the piece and why. Inevitably that leads to using the ideas of others and is one of the reasons musical periods are so distinct. Beethoven's genius shined when he did this. You would never guess that the first movement of the 5th symphony is based on the Hallelujah chorus of Handel. But it was.
