Coda of Ballade No. 4 - Chopin (animated sheet music)

[@dominikclarke6545]

I cannot describe how satisfying it is that the background colours align with my own synaesthesia

[@EggMCMUFFIN-e4l]

Same aha

[@ChalumeauLOL]

That must be cool lol, i dont have synaestzheisidhbwnssj 😅😂

[@Sirma69420]

The fact that non-pianists wont understand how scared pianists are of this piece

[@hyperactiveofficial8096]

Yeah, I always hear them going on about the 1st Ballade, but I chuckle a little knowing they've likely never heard this beast

[@Paganini-Liszt]

@@hyperactiveofficial8096 This piece is not really scary. It's just long and shoved a lot of Chopin etudes into a single piece. This piece is laughable in the faces of pieces like Les Quatre Ages and Grosse Konzertfantasie uber Spanische Weisen. I find his Polonaises harder than his Ballades.

[@hyperactiveofficial8096]

@@Paganini-Liszt I disagree. I think Chopin's writing is extremely lyrical, sensitive, and extremely powerful. I find Alkan brash, boorish, and without subtlety. You're talking pure technical abilities but what makes any Chopin Ballade intimidating is its pure scale musically.

[@Paganini-Liszt]

@@hyperactiveofficial8096 You refuse to hear the entirety of Les Quatre Ages. I used to be like you, I thought Alkan was all about techniques only. After hearing pieces like his Les Quatre Ages, it changed my mind. As I've said before, the Ballades aren't scary. I will boldly assume that you haven't played any of his Polonaises before, you have no idea how hard it is to play with the "dancing tempo". If you ever know what that is.

[@hyperactiveofficial8096]

@@Paganini-Liszt You mean to tell me that you think Chopin's Ballades are like a collection of etudes, but your counterargument is the Große Konzertfantasie, a piece that was literally made for the sake of showboating? ...I sense a bit of hypocrisy from Paganini-Liszt here.

[@f1f1s]

Phenomenal. This is a new genre of video: making the score the main visual focus that is guided by the music.

[@musical_lolu4811]

Not exactly new. I've seen animations of jazz solos like this.

[@yucatron76]

This was started by Sayeedur123 but (if I remember correctly, I might be wrong on this) he converted to Salafi Islam (which prohibits instrumental music) and so he deleted every single one of his videos from his channel and hard drive. After some time had passed, he said he found a way to make classical music still fit into his life despite his religion but he can't make the videos come back unfortunately. He published a final animation of the Aria from Bach's Goldberg variations and officially retired.

there was another same video put out a long time back, i can't find it anymore

[@haelscheirs_haven]

I had years ago been meaning to produce classical piano videos of my own performances in this style, but didn't have the time to work out the logistics for automating the animations. I suppose I didn't have something _this_ dramatic in mind.

[@kuiperbelt2488]

Damn good job on editing, I love videos like these

[@yat_ii]

I thought you were sayeedur for a moment

[@pawncube2050]

I'm pretty sure this is not just "inspired by Sayeedur123" but a copy(I wonder if you have his authorization?) of his video, though I can't check since he seems to have removed his videos

[@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417]

It's not a copy, although a lot of the background color took inspiration, so I can see why you thought that. His version started with the pianissimo chords at bar 203. Mine starts a little earlier because I like the climax of the Db major section before that. Additionally, the software I used to create this animation (DaVinci Resolve) is free unlike his editing software, which is why mine is of a lower quality. Lastly, Sayeedur123 used Ivan Moravec's recording for his animation while I preferred Zimerman's recording.

[@pawncube2050]

@@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417 In this case, full respect for you, seems like a painful process to make those videos

[@WhyLuminance]

@@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417 Hey man I truly wanna believe you but as someone who's also took inspiration from Sayeedur this is extremely suspiciously close to his videos. I say this especially because Sayeedur's videos are not visible anymore. And you gotta admit stuff like the blurring (I used the free version of DaVinci Resolve for my videos as well so I'm a bit sceptical about your explanation) and the black bar on the right at the end of the video makes it look like a reupload.

[@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417]

@@WhyLuminance The black bar at the end was because I didn't zoom in the final frame enough or add a white layer underneath, but I didn't think it was that noticeable so I just left it as is. My point about the quality issue with DaVinci is that the way I animated this was by making the sheet music frames and exporting them as PNGs (as I learned from his deleted tutorial). The quality was fine, however, when I stitched them together into compound clips, I noticed a significant decrease in quality (See 0:30, where the staff becomes much clearer, as I did not stitch the pianissimo chords as compound clips. At 0:43, the following tied chords takes a dip in quality, as I combined them into compound clips). The blurring was added as inspiration, however in hindsight, I might've relied too much on his patterns.

[@eenayeah]

How in the hell did you make this?? Did you extract the notes and symbols from the sheet, then mask them in the software with the mask removing itself? And then the staff is a separate picture layer? Incredible work! Never seen anything like this.

[@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417]

In a nutshell, you take a score and edit one note off at a time as an image and stitch them together, with some extra effects. I could make a tutorial in the future if more people request one.
