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 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 Straight out of Bernstein; am I right?
1bol1 No?
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).
1bol1 Could you direct me and the rest of us to this video you speak of? Seriously, I'd like to see it.
Beethoven is such a genius.
No doubt bout that
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.
0:49 I love that french horn, adding brass can sometimes make all the difference.
one of the greatest symphony ever composed.
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!
What about the 4th movement?
Who else goes totally insane while listening to THIS MASTERPIECE??? I'm still in shock after listening I think 1000000th time.
Such a very unique and wonderful way to view and hear. A new way to experience Classical music. I love it!!
Tell your friends!
9:07 is sooo beautiful!
Questions,Answers,Echoes,Thunder claps, Exploding climaxes, Gurgling rivers, High mountains, Low valleys.
A well populated Continent of Music.
Epic.
We live there with the great Beethoven.
Beautifully said
The symphony that formally introduced Ludwig van Beethoven to the world!!!!
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!
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!
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.
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

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.
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.
I just can't stop listening to Beethoven music
I’ve listened to this a thousand times and I’ll listen to it a thousand times more. I can’t imagine ever falling out of love with this one.
This Symphony, and especially this movement, sound just perfect transcribed for piano.
Beethoven's symphonies are just SO SATISFYING TO LISTEN AND WATCH
Mr. Smalin I love your work.
God, I love Beethoven!
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.
Shows the shape of the music better than a traditional score.
that's the point!
I could watch this all day it's so enjoyable to watch
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?
After staring at this in wonder for a few minutes, then scrolling away, my entire computer display seems to sway left and right. Optical lag effect :-)
Absolutely amazing! You can easily see the armony changes :)
Es muy importante tener un descanso y disfrutar de éstos Fascinantes Clásicos de la Música.¡Disfrútenla!.

THANK YOU for the info
Super, Bravo Beethoven!! Thanks for this great harmonies!
1:26 Tão lindo...
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.
+Linus Pauling Your eyes are helping your ears understand the music. It's the reason I make these animated graphical scores.
+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 CZcams channel
+David Wright He'll tell you to read the faq
oh... this is a pleasant surprise...
Magnifique ..
I truly hope that one day the "classical" genre is popular once again :)
I think it is becoming ...
Well this is of the "Romantic" genre.
***** 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.
Agreed, and it's not the only thing our society needs to restore to its former glory.
@@jrbleau Society today is, in some aspects, much better than before, although some things are definitly improvable.
It's so hard to study while listening to this because you can't help but look at those Tutti Chords.
+fa18hornet for me it's hard to study but because of the feelings, i keep getting absorbed by the Eroica feelings
ThisIsRTSThree999 I know right! It's so good you can't put it in the background!
Muchas gracias por este vídeo. La tercera sinfonía de Beethoven me parece maravillosa en conjunto. Gracias de nuevo
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
Beautiful!
Indeed. T_T
Man, this is beautiful...
Such a wonderful way to understand music
Beautiful first movement Heroic Symphony
this is magic
Look how colourful this cacophony is! How glorious!
Isn't "cacophony" supposed to be dispregiative?
beautiful masterpiece. i love beethoven ულამაზესი შედევრი, მე მიყვარს ბეთჰოვენი
I love this so much. It's so much easier to appreciate all the different instruments and how they come together when you can visualise them like this. Not to mention this video was my first introdcution to one of the greatest symphonies of all time! Thank you.
I'm glad to have helped.
It transcends subliminally at 4:16 to four birds talking before being startled off by a dear in the forest just as the sun comes back out. S'cool.
love these visuals
The high note after 17:11 is the utmost climax.
wow! (y) amazing! its like that the notes were playing
10:59 to 11:10 ...so eloquent and elegant.
These really make me appreciate the complexity and precision that went into composing and performing these compositions.
Smalin, i adore you... keep translating music at visual pieces like this ;3
But let me say, i hate your midi channel :v hehe, i hate midi perhaps
MIDI channel? What is that? Are you referring to Animidify? (That's not my channel.)
Yep, animidify... i saw it recommended into your channel
I thincked thats yours, sorry... i still hating it :v
Always stunning -
Happiness is this beautiful music!
Marvellously done.
Bravo, loved every moment!
Thanks for uploading. You can see and hear the beauty of the symphony.
Everything is moving to the right now! O_O

I really love these videos. Thanks.

Yeah!.
Go Smallin!
You're helping my Bass Chord progressions.
I greatly enjoy your videos. So well done.
Someone on another CZcams channel put this over a video of how to make flash cotton or flash paper. That's what brought me here!
Awesome! It's like being in space and travelling through galaxies.
Amazing amazing graphics. This is how I have been looking at music for years.Thanks so much for doing it so well.

I really enjoy your videos! I'm working on transcribing this movement right now. It's really a lot of work!
MAGNIFICENT
Phenomenal!
This is so cool!
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.
Luigi Van Beethoven ・ Buonaparte
This is great!
Thank you for uploading so often, I really enjoy these videos :)
Have you watched all the ones I've already uploaded? There are 279 on this channel, and another 72 on my remake/spillover/alternate channel (musanim).
smalin I've watched a lot of them! And I just subscribed to your alternate channel.
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?
Que bello.
that's the best version I find! Why can't I find the full symphony with the same quality :( ?
+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.
Hi thanks for the beaut itul video.
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❤❤❤
just in case you don't know the notes, dark blue is Eb, red is G, and so on.
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?
czcams.com/video/cYnJWkvOYT8/video.html....as well as the intro
@@kopite1963
It is well known that Beethoven took this intro to reformulate in his 3rd.
6:32 - 6:44 momento mais foda, pqp!!
como assim?? kkkjkk
9:07. The chord that changed the face of Western music.
Fmaj7/A
I don't think it's THAT unusual...
Comment to help the algorithm.
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!
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.
9:10
reminds me of Stravinsky's Sacre....(loudly played string chords, even half of the "Rite" chord tonality^^)
***** 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 ;) )
wow.
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.
made my day
?????????? This is completely insane.
I was convinced of this too for a long time, but it's not true. Turns out it's a "joke" played by the owner of some music related website.
@@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.
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."
I was watching this while high. Fucking amazing.
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.😀
To think this was to be named after Napoleon Bonaparte until he did something that made Beethoven look down on him
Yeah being a completely fucking hypocrite proclaiming himself as the emperor
at least he fight against the bankers. But i believe beethoven dont look down completly since when napoleon died beethoven said he already wrote about the dead of napoleon (second movement of eroica)
Is this allegro con brio?
Yes! First movement - Allegro con brio.
9:18 maravilloso quiero saber la interpretación de Beethoven
11:31 Ferdinand Ries' stray horn LOL
Nice two bars ..... please is that name for real?
+SoWhat?Sixty! yes he was Beethoven's student.
Hailstormand Oh, din't know that ... cool .. thx.
At least I think so... LOL
Thx ... Is your term "stray horn" is kinda a pun on a "French horn"? I couldn't find anything in regards to that term besides pics of Mr. Strayhorn. When I read your very first comment I assumed that Ferdinand Ries played a French horn part in the symphony. Ha ha, most likely just my wrong interpretation as there is no evidence, at least not on google, that he played French horn at all. I think I didn't get your comment ... am I right?
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)
Is there a program you use, or do you do all of this yourself?
Well, both ... I use a program ... but it's a program I wrote.
awesome
