Description:
FAQQ: Can I get free sheet music for this piece?A: Yes, you can download the piano solo here: http://www.musanim.com/pdf/k467m2_piano.pdfand the full score and parts here: http://tinyurl.com/mozk467Q: Why do you keep uploading this piece?A: The first two versions both had things wrong with them that I either noticed after I'd uploaded them or decided were worse than I'd realized. Hopefully "three's the charm."Q: What do the colors mean?A: The reddish colors are the string instruments, the fuzzy greenish colors are the wind instruments, and thin blue/violet is the piano.Q: Why isn't everything perfectly in sync like in your other videos?A: There were actually three separate performances: the performance you're hearing, the performance you're seeing (my hands), and the performance the bar-graph score is based on. I got these as close as I could, but there were always places that were a little off, so I finally said "good enough" and stopped trying to make it better.Q: It seems like the two scores don't match exactly; is that a mistake?A: You're right, they don't match exactly. The bar-graph score at the top has all the notes of all the instruments, but the conventional score at the bottom is a "reduction" with the eleven staves of the full score compressed into four staves. To make this score readable, I left out some parts that I considered less important when a lot of instruments are playing.Q: How did you make this video?A: You can read my Production Notes here: http://www.musanim.com/ProductionNotes/MozartK467m2.htmlQ: What does "Elvira Madigan" mean?A: This movement was featured on the soundtrack of a 1967 film about the Danish tightrope walker Elvira Madigan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira_Madigan); a lot of people became familiar with the music that way, so it's sometimes called "The Theme from Elvira Madigan." It's been in many movies since then, including The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Regarding Henry (1991), Silent Fall (1994), Gone Fishin' (1997), Virtual Sexuality (1999), and Superman Returns (2006).Q: How long have you been playing the piano?A: Since I was eight (which was in the year that's the same upside-down).Q: Where's the recording from?A: I licensed it from RoyaltyFreeClassicalMusic.org.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 _________?A: First, check my "to do" list: http://www.musanim.com/all/MAMToDoList.html ...If the piece isn't listed, read the "Could you please do a MAM video of _________?" item on my main FAQ: http://www.musanim.com/mam/mamfaq.html#copyright ...and if you think I'd consider doing it, email me (stephen at musanim dot com)..

smalin Says:
Mar 26, 2012 - The audio in this video is from a live performance (with an acoustic grand piano, not software); I don't know what brand of piano was being used.

Apr 8, 2012 - This was one of the first concertos I ever heard as a kid starting to play piano. Now years later, I just wrote a concerto that is somewhat in its spirit, Piano Concerto No. 2 in d Minor, which I tried to fill with beautiful melodies and dramatic music. It's on my YouTube homepage. I wish other composers with the real talent would write tonally. People who love classical music strongly prefer this kind of Classical-period music to the new/avant-garde/electronic.They always will. That's a fact.

Apr 11, 2012 - I am playing, but I'm just playing along with the recording. My performance sounds more or less like what you're hearing. I wanted to show what it looked like to play it, but I don't have my own orchestra, so this was the best I could do.

DF12776068 Says:
May 12, 2012 - Is this reason the grace notes are played like eigth notes because it's a piece from the classical era? Or because it's Mozart? Basicly how do you know the correct length to play grace notes?
smalin Says:
May 12, 2012 - Unfortunately, there's no simple rule. It's kind of like asking "how do you pronounce 'ough' in English?" You've got thought, rough, cough, though, through, drought --- is there a rule? Actually, it's not quite as bad as that, because it tends to follow certain conventions in each musical period. It also varies by piece. But first, you should read the Wikipedia articles on Grace note and Appoggiatura (you may be surprised what you learn there).
