December 17, 20159 yr Author Today it's been 245 years since the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven To think he wrote this while already being completely deaf...
December 17, 20159 yr Happy Birthday, Herr van Beethoven! @Stormbringer How long did it take you to do the doodle?
December 17, 20159 yr Author Not so much. Less than 5 minutes? I didn't listen to the fragments though. Just the whole sample and then reading each fragment. Still I had a couple of stupid mistakes of bad reading. And you?
December 17, 20159 yr Oh there was a whole sample? I just read the title and began reading the notes. "Ode to Joy" was tricky for me because of the repetitions who were a bit different from I remember but the rest were easy-peasy so I guess 5 minutes tops.
December 17, 20159 yr Author Hahaha yes! You could listen to the piece and also each little fragment; those I didn't need. Still if you know the pieces well the sample wasn't necessary, but I didn't remember Moonlight that well Talking about Beethoven... have you seen his manuscripts?
December 17, 20159 yr Author Absolutely none Poor editors Interesting how their calligraphy somehow represents their music!
December 17, 20159 yr I'm amazed of people who can read literary manuscripts from ye olde times like Shakespeare, then again music!
January 14, 20169 yr Author I found it quite interesting and well done considering the difficult to adapt together so many pieces so different to each other. I didn't like it having a fade out though, kinda kills the spirit of this kind of music. A real ending would have been much better.
February 23, 20169 yr Author ^ Congratulations on hearing it all! I couldn't The technique he uses there though is quite interesting and he worked with it on more musical stuff (still weird but less ). I learned about it on Composition class and had to do a piece in a similar way.
