Beethoven: "Moonlight" sonata, mov. 1 (synthesized)
YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on May 30, 2011
"Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor
One of Beethoven's most popular sonatas, the "Moonlight" was completed in 1801 and dedicated to Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, who was Beethoven's pupil. The first movement has become one of the most famous works for solo piano. It is often described as "tragic" or "melancholy," and is played almost entirely pianissimo (the loudest dynamic is mezzo-forte). Composer Hector Berlioz has described the movement as: "one of those poems that human language does not know how to qualify."
This synthesized version was rendered by our Matlab synthesizer, which interprets a MIDI file to generate both the audio and the "piano-roll" visualization. The mournful timbre of this rendition is achieved through a mixing of three separate Matlab synthesizer instruments; each having been modified such that they all share a similar tone quality."
