That is very clever and I enjoyed the various effects, thanks for posting it. The technique would perhaps work best with music possessing a regular pulse and clearly defined harmonic changes.

any "complicated" ragtime compositions? Like for example a "basic" waltz would be something like Chopin or Strauss, and more interesting one would be a scriabin waltz. wondering if there's a similar kind of experimentation with ragtime music.

complex will be a bit left to subjective interpretiation but i think i get what you're after, Stravinsky's immediately comes to mind

Yes, that is indeed a good presentation. In the hands of the best creators and players of the idiom, however, there is something else at work beyond that. It amounts to a sensation, not of left and right elements, but of a unified counterpoint across the whole keyboard. This man exhibits what I mean:

Kind of amusing, but I think I'd rather hear/see the original.  It seems like a bit of a waste to put all that work in but have it affected by the cartoon tweaks and interpretation.

Amusing, for the intended amusement and for the variation, although I don't think I know the original that well at all.

Probably not much here.  It's supposed to be a site with tracks that have never been played from Spotify.
https://forgotify.com

Except that can include a lot of classical music where the piece has been heard, just not that recording track.


And I can't get it to work... At least it's not working in Opera.

You head is not messed up.  Most people are the same way.  I'm hypersensitive to certain sounds and relaxed by other sounds:

This rain sound played with low volume - relaxing

This rain sound played at highest volume - noise

Hearing people yelling and banging in condo above mine (i.e. humans doing their thing) -  extreme noise

Hearing birds chirping outside my window (i.e. birds doing their thing) - relaxing

Hearing dogs barking or scratching on floor in condo above mine (i.e. dogs doing their thing) - extreme noise

Hearing classical music - relaxing

Hearing loud rock music in condo above mine - extreme noise

PS - This past Friday, I sold my condo.  Moving to somewhere I can hear birds chirping and rain falling and no unpleasant sounds (hopefully).

Etudes are good enough for now.  It would be interesting to go through pieces by time though.  I wanted to hear Scriabin though, so if I do that, I'll end up with Chopin.
