i cant stand dissonant music, but there's something strangely endearing about this

Putrid.

The first metal song

You are deafer than I thought !

After to listening to more and more of Bach's stuff and this a couple of times it doesn't even seem that off anymore... I wonder if i will actually enjoy dodecaphonic music at some point.

I much prefer this piece on the piano. The issue for me isn't the composition, which I think is brilliant... it's the dynamics... the "fortissimo"... The fortissimo of the strings makes the sound harsher than it needs to be... maybe Beethoven did this because he was deaf at the time. But imo, the fortissimo hides the brilliant fugal writing... the blending of lines etc. A violin fortissimo is a harsh sound and is used too much in this piece imo. If Beethoven had reduced this to forte or mezzo-forte, the piece would be perfect imo.

0:43 1862? Beethoven was a zombie...?

In 1970, when I was 15 years old, I acquired a large navy blue boxed set of the Beethoven Bicentennial Collection. I'm pretty sure this is the fugue featured in that collection, because I have never heard a better rendition--but I lost my recording in a mold/mildew incident after a flood. Can you confirm? Is this the Amadeus Quartet? Although at 11:15 it seems a tad faster and choppier than I recall...

How did you make the video? It doesn't sound like midi - is this just really good midi? Or did you spend time matching the video to the audio? It's really good!

It's should be theme for the whole humankind

This song is several melodies with their own tune put together. It's a fusion. The effect is a novel one.
-
I kinda understand the graphics but uh yeah... I still love the sound of it.
-
beethoven died in 1827... so he couldnt have said that thing in 1860s...
-
And here i am pathetically playing the nut shack theme song on my cello
-
there needs to be a choral arrangement of this. I think that woulf perfectly represent the piece
-
Reminds of the scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind where they communicate with music both auditory and visually.
-
This piece is totally breathtaking. I long to write something of this magnitude one day. I wonder, had Mozart lived to his sixties, what Mozart would have to say about late period Beethoven?
-
people may hear this dissonant, but the most beautiful, sublime music ever written.
-
This is dissonant? Then, surely, you haven't heard things like this: https://youtu.be/GOnC5X8rWi0 (I'm not saying its bad, just dissonant)

Beethoven at this time was living the life of a recluse, and drinking heavily (he died of liver disease). He was seeking to express a level of music that is found in dissonance, and by such take composition to a new level. Or to put it another way, looking for a 3D picture in a disorganised mass of spots and stripes. I think, in this piece, he succeeded.

A: You can download score and parts from IMSLP: http://tinyurl.com/op133dover Q: Where can I learn more about this piece? A: The Wikipedia article is pretty good http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grosse_fuge and this New Yorker article about a recently discovered manuscript is interesting http://tinyurl.com/newyorkergrossefuge Q: Who is performing? A: I don't know. I licensed this recording from Royalty-Free Classical Music (dot com) through Shockwave (dot com), and they don't say who their performers are. Q: I'm having trouble following the rhythm. A: I'm not surprised; it's highly syncopated. I've done a couple of versions with barlines in them. First, here's a bar-graph-only version with barlines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7q8t6K5ygw Next, here's a version with both balls and barlines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHxukzT31do If you don't like the balls, here's a bar-graph-only without barlines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnjvJDi8BPg And, here's the original (bar-graph with balls, but no barlines): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s0Mp7LFI-k 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: http://www.musanim.com/player/ There are lots of places on the web where you can get MIDI files; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first: http://www.classicalarchives.com/ Q: Could you please do a MAM video of _________?
