Time again for me to exercise my prerogative on these lists and share
a video that struck me as particularly fascinating and worthy, albeit
utterly beyond the normal topic scope. No extra charge!

We've all likely seen various visualizations of classical music, but
one I stumbled across today is especially interesting for its seeming
simplicity and demonstrative power.

The video at:

(YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJRE1y5uxOM

is a direct visualization of the score for Ravel's famous "Bolero" --
simultaneously scrolling the entire score in sync with the music,
through a set of three (and later in the piece, four) vertical "panes"
in which the various instrumental lines appear, resize, move, and
vanish as appropriate. Just simple actions, black notes on a white 
background. As you can imagine with Bolero, it starts out as the definition
of simplicity and gradually builds toward a crescendo of complexity.

I think it's beautiful, and an example of wonderful Internet content.

Have a great weekend.
