Musica Romantica — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 08:42:00 +0000

The fifth movement of Georg Philipp Telemann’s sixth Paris Quartet, performed by Concerto Amabile, accompanied by an animated score. FAQ Q: Who is playing this piece? A: This performance is from 1990; the performers are the members of the group Concerto Amabile (Kathleen Kraft, traverso, Elizabeth Blumenstock, violin, Elisabeth Le Guin, violoncello, and Phebe Craig, harpsichord) joined by viola da gambist Margriet Tindemans. Q: This is lovely; where can I hear the rest of the movements of this piece? A: This recording is from the Wild Boar CD “Concerto Amabile, George Phillip Telemann, ‘Paris’ Quartets 2, 3 & 6″ (WLBR8801). I don’t know whether the CD is available, but I’m going to find out; I will post information here when I do. Q: How did you get the animation synchronized with the recording? A: First I entered the score into the notation program Sibelius. Then, I made a half-speed version of the recording (with the Amazing Slow-Downer software), and adjusted the notation to match (added the ornaments, shortened notes, mistakes made by the performers, etc). Then, while listening to the half-speed recording, I recorded a MIDI click-track. Finally, I fed the score and the click-track into some software I wrote, which adjusted the timings of score to match the click-track. The adjusted version of the score is what my animation software takes as input. Q: Isthere a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself? A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate …

Frederic Chopin’s Etude, opus 10 #10 in A-flat major, performed by Stephen Malinowski,accompanied by a scrolling bar-graph score. FAQ Q: You sure are playing slowly for a piece marked “Vivace assai.” A: It’s true. This piece can be played in a very flashy way, but I didn’t feel like it. Q: What instrument are you playing? A: This is the Acoustica “Pianissimo” piano. Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself? A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; you can get the (Windows) software here: www.musanim.com There are lots of places on the web where you can get MIDI files; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first: www.classicalarchives.com Q: Could you do a MAM video of ______? A: Please read this: www.musanim.com Q: What do the colors in the bar-graph score mean? A: The colors indicate the “pitch class” of the notes; that is, every A-flat is a certain color (blue), every B-flat is a certain color (violet), etc. The piece is in the key of A-flat, so there’s blue at the beginning and end. The choice of colors is based on the “circle of fifths,” which you can read about here: en.wikipedia.org This method of coloring notes is described more here: www.musanim.com Because this form of coloring reflects tonality, the places where the piece moves into another key are easily visible; here’s a picture of the whole piece: www.musanim.com .

Bach, Contrapunctus 9, Art of Fugue (Kunst der Fuge)

Musica Romantica — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:36:00 +0000

FAQ JS Bach’s Contrapunctus 9 from the Art of Fugue (Kunst der Fuge), with conventional score, bar-graph score, and video of hands playing it. Q: Wherecan I get the sheet music for this piece? A: The score in the video can be downloaded from here: www.musanim.com Q: What instrument is that? A: It’s actually two instruments: a piano (the one in my living room) and a sampled pipe organ (an Alborn-Galanti Silbermann Archiv). The piano has MIDI Out (from a Moog PianoBar) which was recorded and played back to play the organ. Q: How did you make this video? A: First I videotaped myself playing it, and recorded both the audio (from my Kimball grand piano) and MIDI (from a Moog PianoBar attached to the piano). Then, I rerecorded the audio and MIDI for each of the four voices separately; I did this so that I could color-code the video based on voice and to get a performance that was a little cleaner (it also afforded me the opportunity to add a 16-foot stop to the bass line in a few places). The conventional score is from screenshots from the notation program Sibelius, and the bar-graph score was generated from the MIDI using my own custom software. All these things were assembled in Adobe Premiere and converted to Flash with the On2 Flix converter. Q: I’m having trouble reading the score. A: It’s a little better if you watch it in high-quality mode: www.youtube.com Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself? A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will …
