Outstanding, as always. This animation has substantially enhanced my appreciation of the structure of this concerto. And believe me, I have listened to all these Brandenburgs many times.

Beautiful how you delayed some of the voices to make the counterpoint clearer. You can really see how they "chase" each other :)

These animations have real value. They add to the understanding of these pieces. They're wonderful.

I'm glad you're finding them useful.

Showing the different voices with their temporal offset really demonstrates the cannon-like aspect in the first part. Great!

Thanks so much for this visualization, showing the same melodic lines being played with a temporal offset ! it is so interesting to see how compact a structure actually exists inside this rich sounding piece.

My favourite Brandenburg perfectly animated. I love the way you have captured the beautiful playfulness of the violas.

One of best yet. As a child I spent years visualizing the brandenburgs. Now I have this to add another dimension to such beautiful and evocative music. Thank you.

I was waiting for this. My favourite Brandenburg Concerto; I thank you for this and everything else on your channel.

Absolutely fascinating! You must have put a lot of thought into making all of these structures of Bach visible in this animation. You succeeded brilliantly!

313 x 13 = 4069. Love it! (and the geometry as well).

Awesome! One of my musical favourites. And it looks just as confusing as it sounds!😂

Lovely 🍀

Thank you!

Tus videos son hermosos ❤

I might not be the biggest fan of the particular performance, music-wise (it's nice but too much rubato in the fast parts for my taste of baroque music), but my gosh am I stunned by the animation! This is a piece I have listened more times than I can count, yet never really understood it the way this video showed it. All the words I've ever had cannot fully describe the awe I'm in! Such magnificent work.

Imagine the understanding you'd acquire by following the score.

@@herrickinman9303 Sure, I could get an incredibly thorough understanding by sitting down and conducting a full-on analysis to this, note by note. But that would require a lot of time and effort, while just watching this video requires no added labour from my part compared to simply listening to it, yet it adds so much more to the understanding. That's efficiency.

Thosr strettos are insane

Muy Hermoso...

Can someone tell me why this chord progression that culminates at 0:43 is so ethereal and Bachian. It just washes over you..I never came across anything like that in other baroque pieces.

I would say because the Basso Continuo and accompaniment are static while the 2 violas are playing a canon, that in itself causes a very interesting harmony while getting closer to the cadence.

​@@danipar7388but they're not static. The bass lines are still playing F, but the viola de gamba lines have switched from playing Bb and D, to G and E natural. Meanwhile, the high note on the viola is the same Bb from the last bar. I think that's the answer: the violas are hitting the same Bb that they were hitting in the last bar, but now they're doing it suspended in the middle of a chord change in the bass. I lack the musical talent to explain this in terms of chord/key changes. Need an expert! But the great thing is that we can all see the musical changes happening thanks to these wonderful animations.

Hey smalin, I am wondering if you ever gave any thought about doing any Mahler symphonies, I know you've done 1 but something like the first movement of the ninth with its polyphony would be amazing in your style

I have given it thought, and so far this has resulted in the one video you've seen (kzread.info/dash/bejne/hparxrBxZrC_n7Q.html). I don't have any plans for more (but that doesn't mean much, since I don't plan ahead).
