Nice! I loved the subtle reflections in the windows, very clever way of projecting the characters thoughts onto the audience. Also, the cinematography is really cool, especially that shot tracking him running through the forrest. Overall this is super clever and well cut/shot.

There's some really nice work on display here! I can see why it was accepted. Is Chapman U your first choice? I toured Dodge there last week and was pretty impressed.

@atemperman Hi! I've got to look at the score now to analyse this but the reason for this is that Chopin treats the potential nastier chords with discretion and usually puts strained intervals further apart, E to G sharp is wide but I'm pretty sure that D flat to F is wider. Any of the standard temperaments from Vallotti to Kirnberger will do this, although Kirnberger may be one step too far on the piano. The inharmonicities of this piano may well be having an effect - I prefer Hammerwood piano.

atemperman commented on 15 Jan 2011

What temperament exactly did you use for this? The E major chords during the middle section seem less in tune than the Db major chords in the gentler sections, but I'd expect a tuning that's a "softened Werck." (as I think I saw implied in comments you made in various discussion boards) to have E more consonant than Db. Does this have to do with not having fully worked out how to deal with inharmonicity in your unequal tuning (I say this cuz the E's are at the bottom of the instrument's range).

atemperman commented on 16 Jan 2011

You say that "Any of the standard temperaments from Vallotti to Kirnberger will" have a wider Db-F than E-G#. This is not true for Kirnberger III (1/4 syntonic from C to E). Both are Pythag (okay, fine, the schisma shows up in E-G#. I confess to being unable to detect the difference between a 406 M3 and a 408 M3 in most circumstances). Anyone who would propose Kirnberger II has an ear I don't trust. so this makes me skeptical that Johann Kirnberger has his finger on the pulse of 18th-cen...

. . . that J. Kirnberger had his finger on the pulse of 18th-century temperament practices (clav., or harpsi. or organ or piano). Regardless of all of the above, I feel my life enriched by your submissions to youtube and wish to encourage you further. The "Emerson College" in which you recorded -- is it the Emerson in Boston, MA, USA? Is there a medium through/on/in which we could speak that isn't so limiting as Youtube's?

@atemperman: Addendum: when I first said that the E-G# wouldn't beat any faster than an Ab-C, I suspect (it's late for me right now) that I was assuming a temperament that didn't treat F major to be more consonant than C major. In any case, I (and you?) ought to look at the rest of Chopin's preludes and see how he relatively treats medium-flat M3s (by which I mean in the neighborhood of Eb-G or Ab-C) relative to medium-sharp M3s (A-C# or E-G#). To correct a statement of yours:

atemperman commented on 16 Jan 2011

@latribe, Hello from Boston, MA, to you as well. Yes, the E/G# is spaced suitably widely, and, as far as I can tell from a brief look at the score, would not beat any faster than Db-F or Ab-C in the written-Db sections of the piece (there are Db-F 3rds at the btm of the treble clef--can't find in 20 sec. any M3s that should beat faster). For the sharp-side M3s to not sound (what to my sensibility is) unacceptably nasty, prevailing piano tuning would have to. . .

atemperman commented on 16 Jan 2011

. . . either be spot-on with beat ratios, for which I can't find much historical evidence, or have gentler E-G# thirds than you get from any unequal temperament that doesn't give more than a twelfth of a comma between E an G#. I would love to hear Chopin's Preludes (and the rest of his works as well) in a Victorian Well, or in the 1/12 Pythag Young (the one that "shaves the edges" rather than simply rotates Valotti).
