   Agreed 

 

Another argument for that:

Today it's been 245 years since the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven

 

To think he wrote this while already being completely deaf...

Happy Birthday, Herr van Beethoven!

 

@Stormbringer  How long did it take you to do the doodle?

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?

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.

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?

Absolutely none   

Poor editors  

 

Interesting how their calligraphy somehow represents their music!

I'm amazed of people who can read literary manuscripts from ye olde times like Shakespeare, then again music!

It's not the best mashup I've heard, but I definitely appreciate the effort.

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.

As if John Cage or Boulez weren't weird enough: Steve Reich

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.
