Yup. Bach music is extremely forgiving that way. Mozart’s, for example, is not.

@@pedroivog.s.6870 You don’t sound dumb. Mozart can sound wonderful but he’s extremely interpretation sensitive. Played badly, Mozart’s music can sound like wallpaper, like background music. It can get boring. An Alberti bass (you may have to look that up) can get monotonous in the wrong hands. Bach sounds better if played well and better on the right instruments but the writing itself is bulletproof. It will sound like great writing no matter what you do to it. Bach is more harmonically interesting and more unexpected. If you listen to Mozart you can often tell what’s next. If you listen to Bach that’s not true because he constantly throws curves.

That paper would be too long to play a symphony and you would need a wider range of notes. But many great works are on a Regina disk. And you don't need to keep turning the Crank only to tighten up the spring. A Regina Is a beautiful instrument that came before the phonograph.

I composed a 4+ minute piece on one of these and the increasing stumbles in your winding hand were painfully familiar. Something about using these for more than a minute makes your brain forget how muscles happen

@@karolakkolo123 The Fugue in c minor (the one after this prelude) is 3 voices fugue. And the range used in the fugue is larger than the prelude by around one octave. So I guess it is possible to do so. Even if we cannot build it in the original form due to lack of notes, we can still transpose some low notes an octave higher to fit the music box.

When things go wrong: Tape over your mistakes!

You have way more patience that what I have. Also, I know others have commented on this, but this simply underlines what a genius Bach was as his music is not dependent on instrumentation for it to be wonderful.

KZread algorithm brings me here and I am shocked by the capacity of this little music box! And great job in building such a complex tape and the exhausting winding!

the soprano line really sings with that little thing! and you managed to keep time admirably, all things considered. nice work

Congratulations ! Amazing !

I love this! More please!!! 🙏🙏🙏

This is delightful!

Absolutely enchanting.

This prelude and its second part are my favourites pieces from Bach. It is beautiful, thrilling, breathtaking. The man was a genius and so is you! That was amazing

Bravo! What a treat! Thank you for sharing.

Well, that was different. Amazing hand stamina. Kudos to you sir. Thanks for sharing.

How great ! It is like a miniature player piano ! I love it, oh and love Bach too, naturally.

Hmmm, as a handweaver (at times), this reminds me of a draft, that is, the 'recipe' for making a fabric, in chart form. The maths in Bach's music is made visible in the patterns of the punched holes. A Jacquard or (I think) a Dobby loom would be able to use those same punched holes to create a patterned fabric... How interesting that would be, to see a visual representation of the music! As I have only a simpler 4-shaft floor loom, how could I 'transpose' this series of punched holes/notes into a weavable fabric, I wonder? I shall mull this over -- but probably get nowhere! Shame, but a lovely idea. As was the concept and production of this little machine. Bravo!

Herrlich! Wonderful!!
