With this mapping, changes in tonality and harmony correspond to changes in the color palette.

Note to musanim channel viewers musanim 2022-08-24 | FAQI've noticed that some viewers have subscribed to my 'musanim' channel but not my 'smalin' channel. It's an easy mistake to make, since 'musanim' is the name of my website, and part of my email address. But if you want to see videos as I release them, 'smalin' is the channel you want:youtube.com/smalinWhen I make a second version of a video (either a corrected version or an alternate version), I usually post it on 'musanim' but for most videos, this doesn't happen (which is why, as of this writing, I've posted 1227 videos on 'smalin' but only 476 on 'musanim' (and many of the ones on 'musanim' are duplicates of the same piece)).Likewise, videos on the 'smalin' channel have gotten over 185 million views, while those on the 'musanim' channel have gotten only about 8 million. So, if you want to comment on a video and you want the most viewers to see your comment, you probably ought to post it on the 'smalin' version of the video.Of course, if you want to see absolutely every video I make, feel free to subscribe to both channels! :-) But usually, if I make a second version that goes beyond a correction, I add a link to it to the FAQ on the 'smalin' version.Thanks for watching!

Hunt, Equal-Tempered Keyboard, Prelude and Fugue in 10ET musanim 2022-04-24 | Prelude and Fugue in 10ET, from The Equal-Tempered Keyboard, composed and performed by Aaron Andrew Hunt, with an animated graphical score.FAQQ: What's going on in this music?A: The notes of this piece are in a scale with ten equal divisions of the octave instead of the usual twelve, so the intervals between them are probably not what you're used to. In his Equal-Tempered Keyboard, Hunt presents preludes, inventions, and fugues in scales with between 5 and 20 divisions of the octave. You can get the score here ... https://zwillinge.zentral.zone/katalog.php?en... and you can hear all of the pieces here ... aaronandrewhunt.bandcamp.com/album/the-equal-tempered-keyboardHere's something Hunt wrote about the piece in 2015: "10ET has no minor 3rd, and its Narrow Major 3rd at 360 cents sounds rather out of tune unless voiced carefully, or better yet combined with a 7th. Dominant harmonies sound great in this tuning because the Small minor 7th is very nearly 4:7 (hence, the Large Major Second is also near 7:8). These smooth sounds are made use of in the fugue subject, which expands to an octave leap via a French 6th chord arpeggiation. The 10ET circle of 5ths completes in 5 steps, and all episodes are based on this cycle with occasional chromaticism and augmented 6th cadences."Q: Could I play this myself?A: Yes! The score includes instructions on how to prepare an instrument (a suitable MIDI keyboard instrument, that is) for performance.Q: Where is the prelude?A: The prelude and fugue are together here: youtube.com/watch?v=99t37KOiPw0Q: Where can I learn more about the composer?A: Here ... https://aaronandrewhunt.zentral.zone/Q: I appreciate the animated graphical scores you make; how can I help?A: There are many ways you can support my work:free: watch my videos, like them, and share them with friends$$$: become a Patreon patron: http://www.patreon.com/musanim (per-video/per-month)!!!!: underwrite the production of a video: http://www.musanim.com/underwritingQ: Could you please do a video of _______?A: Please see this: http://www.musanim.com/requests
Bach, Well-Tempered Clavier Book II Fugue in B-flat minor (BWV 891) musanim 2022-04-22 | Prelude and Fugue in B-flat minor by J. S. Bach, from the second book of the Well-Tempered Clavier, performed by Friedrich Gulda, with an animated graphical score.FAQQ: What does this video show?A: When I listen to fugues (or play them), my attention shifts from one voice to another. This video shows where it switches (by make the first note of the new location bigger). I'm not saying that this is the right way to listen; it's just documentation of what it's like for me. In the first version of the video ... youtube.com/watch?v=nVqAnKmzqls... the first note of the subject is outlined; in the second version ... youtube.com/watch?v=mtZxcazrGQA... the phrase starting points within the subject are all outlined.Q: Where can I get this recording?A: Well, nowhere. At least, not in a way that sounds like this. I really liked the way Gulda played this piece in one of his recordings, but for this demonstration, it was too slow, and the tone seemed harsh to me.
