Now this is Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor:

Merely another gorgeous (and musically enlightening) product from The Music Animation Machine. The YouTube channel is filled with hours of classical masterpieces, rendered so that you can follow the musical structure visually as well as aurally. Frankly, I find it a hell of a lot easier to follow than sheet music.

Any really good classical music videos we should see, or see again? (This would include classical interps or parodies of other music, e.g. The Piano Guys' Cello Wars, Sulic & Hauser's "Smooth Criminal", Igudesman & Joo, and of course the Big Three of classical comedy: Victor Borge, Anna Russell, and Peter Schickele [dba P.D.Q. Bach].)

Dude! This is a tremendous find. I am far too undisciplined to study music seriously, plus I hate math. But this somehow brings music into laymans terms.

It really does, doesn't it? I think it nicely echoes and enhances what Stokowski and Disney did with the same piece at the beginning of Fantasia.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. That blew my mind as a kid.

Actually, it seems to still blow my mind now.

For them as know math, the waveforms make a lot of sense too... very cool stuff!
