"A Midsummer Night's Dream - Overture MWV P 3 Op. 21" by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

I am happy with this mix, and this is my last rendering for now. I should go and play with different sounds and effects now. Every note in the score is reproduced here. 50 polyphonic voices. Over 25,000 notes counting trills, tremolos and other ornaments.

Slavonic Dances, Op.72 (Dvořák, Antonín) (Arr. Sun Kim)

Final mix (for now). Every note in the score is reproduced here. Over 30 polyphonic voices. Over 4,800 notes (less than 10% of the complexity of the Mars movement). The slower tempo makes this piece 50% longer than the Mars movement.

Il ne faut pas longtemps à Johann van Beethoven pour détecter le don musical de son fils et réaliser le parti exceptionnel qu’il peut en tirer. Songeant à l’enfant Mozart, exhibé en concert à travers toute l’Europe une quinzaine d’années plus tôt, il entreprend dès 1775 l’éducation musicale de Ludwig et, devant ses exceptionnelles dispositions, tente en 1778 de le présenter au piano à travers la Rhénanie, de Bonn à Cologne. Mais là où Léopold Mozart avait su faire preuve d’une subtile pédagogie auprès de son fils, Johann van Beethoven ne semble capable que d’autoritarisme et de brutalité et cette expérience demeure infructueuse, à l’exception d’une tournée aux Pays-Bas en 17817. Parallèlement à une éducation générale, qu’il doit pour beaucoup à la bienveillance de la famille von Breuning (chez qui il passe désormais presque toutes ses journées et parfois quelques nuits) et à son amitié avec le médecin Franz-Gerhard Wegeler auxquels il fut attaché toute sa vie, le jeune Ludwig devient l’élève de Christian Gottlob Neefe (piano, orgue, composition) qui lui transmet le goût pour la polyphonie en lui faisant découvrir Le clavier bien tempéré de Bach. Il compose pour le piano, entre 1782 et 1783, les 9 variations sur une marche de Dressler et les trois Sonatines dites « à l’Électeur» qui marquent symboliquement le début de sa production musicale. Enfant, son teint basané lui vaut le surnom de « l'Espagnol » : cette mélanodermie fait suspecter une hémochromatose à l'origine de sa cirrhose chronique qui se développera à partir de 1821 et sera la cause de sa mort.

Johann Sebastian Bach – Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 - Prelude No. 1 in C Major, BWV 846

Finally I picked up the courage to try this piece! This is a legendary piece that almost everyone knows. I think this is the only classical piece that the entire universe knows thanks to cars reversing and water dispensers everywhere :P .

Für Elise or (For Elise) was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Of course everyone knows Beethoven since he is the genius who composed and played even after he lost his hearing! This is only possible when the great could visualize the piece completely in his mind and is such a perfect virtuoso pianist, that he can mimic the sounds in the mind in reality without needing a feedback! What I feel is the biggest plus for Beethoven is that his pieces are very easily reachable by common folk. Compared to other classical giants like Bach, Choppin whos pieces arent easily appreciated, Beethoven’s style and elegance is easy appreciated by musicians and others alike.

The piece itself is a testimony for what I’ve mentioned above. Its based on A minor, with simple arpeggios on the left hand while the right plays the melody. Its such a simple piece that most people feel that its not even worth playing in a recital! But the piece has such an amazing level of expressiveness. This is a piece that can be played beautifully by one person while the other person can make it feel bland while playing the same notes. The piece also has three distinct stages, one is the recurring theme, that everyone is familiar. In between the recurring theme are two stanzas, that have very different moods. The first stanza is a very curious and very mischievous one. The second one is a stanza that emphasizes anger, and the cools down back to the recurring soft theme.

For me, this piece is one of the best compositions ever. I have to thank Valentina Lisitsa for her version of the piece which is what inspired me to try this in the first place. I hope I’ve done a reasonable amount of justice to this masterpiece and I hope you guys like it.

[Update] Made a better version on 23rd June after a lot of feedback that my tempo was waaaaay off. So I’ve slowed the piece down a little more and increased the pace of the faster sections! I’ll make a overall faster version a little later after more practice :)
