You kids these days! Nobody on videosift has ever opened a MIDI of a full orchestral piece and set all the instruments to piano before? I remember how much I loved doing that with Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre

Not swan lake. This is a Saint-saens piece, not Tchaikovsky.

and a perfect example of why i like Saint-Saens so much.

music is essentially math, but with some composers, like Bach, the math seems to take over, for me.
you start being able to guess where the composer is going, based on the chord progression that preceded it.
but Saint-Saens always surprised me. always movements and changes i didn't anticipate.
