Chopin: Mazurka, Op. 6 No. 1 (synthesized)
YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Aug 25, 2011
"Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849): Mazurka, Op. 6 No. 1
Chopin composed at least 69 mazurkas between 1825 and his death in 1849. These short pieces for solo piano are based on the traditional Polish dance known as the mazurka. However, Chopin transformed his mazurkas into an entirely new genre, which became known as a "Chopin genre." This piece is in the key of F-sharp minor, and was the first mazurka to be published, although two were composed earlier (published posthumously.)
This synthesized rendition and the scrolling visualization were generated from a MIDI file by our Matlab synthesizer. This rendition is significant, because it achieves its timbre by combining three synthesis types: additive, subtractive, and sample-based. While the additive and subtractive voices are completely synthesized from scratch, we also added recorded samples of an upright piano (sample-based synthesis) into the mix. The sample bank consist of a recording of each of the 88 keys played in isolation."
