I've been talking a lot in class about the perspective of our audience. They don't see the dynamics, or the notes going "up" and "down", or the hard work that we put in to our concert performance. What they do, if we do our jobs as performers correctly, is experience the emotion and expression of our performance. This video is a really interesting way to view music from their point of view - linear and moving forward through time. From vimeo:
Visualization of the 1st violin of the 2nd symphony, 4th movement by
Ferdinand Ries in the shape of a rollercoaster. The camera starts by
showing a close-up of the score, then focuses on the notes of the first
violin turning the staves into the winding rail tracks of the
rollercoaster. The notes and bars were exactly synchronised with the
progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a
rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music.
