Beethoven – Moonlight Sonata (animated score, 1st mvt.) piano solo

piano 25 Comments »

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q:Can I get free sheet music for this piece? A: Yes, you can download the score shown in the video from here: 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 C# is a certain color (blue), every E is a certain color (olive green), etc. The piece is in the key of C# minor, so there’s lots of blue and green, especially 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 BTW, the colors are more distinct in the high-quality version of the video. Q: What did this sheet music look like back in Beethoven’s time? A: Here is a facsimile of the first edition, printed in 1802. www.musanim.com Q: What do the light/dark areas in the bar-graph score show? A: They show the effect of the damper pedal. Q: What do the x’s in the score mean? A: Those are double-sharps. A sharp goes up one semitone (F to F-sharp) and a double sharp goes up two semitones (F to F-double-sharp, same key on the piano as G). Q: Who is playing? Who are you? How long have you been playing the piano? A: See this: www.musanim.com Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores …

Rowan Atkinson – ‘The Piano Player’

piano 50 Comments »

In my opinion this is the greatest comedy bit ever. Rowan Atkinson ‘plays’ the piano in the manner of a cartoon character. This was a part of Amnesty International’s ‘The Secret Policeman’s Ball’ filmed in 1979, and also starring John Cleese, Billy Connoly, Michael Palin, Peter Cook and many more. FAQ: What piece of music does he ‘play’? The answer is Beethoven’s ”Pathetique” and ”Moonlight sonata”.
