This is used in an episode of The Simpsons where Marge’s campaign gets violence removed from childrens’ cartoons. The town’s children now shun their tvs and head outside to spend time playing wholesome, classic games to the accompaniment of Beethoven.

@CrossbowManD He heard music differently because he was Beethoven. If you can imagine the difference between hearing somebody speak in your native language and hearing somebody speak in a language you have studied for a few months, that's the scale of difference between what he heard when he listened to music and what you or I would hear listening to the same music. His musical comprehension went very deep.

I feel like Beethoven tried(and succeded) to imitate birds with the highest notes at 0:52 and from 0:57 to 1:05. It was certainly the picture i got in my head when I listened to this piece for the first time.

Pastorale is one of my favorite albums at all. For me it is one of the best album ever composed and released! 5 songs (movements) without words but with the same clear information like songs with suitable words. I also love it's absolutely timeless freshness. This music is written for the eternity !!!

I can't believe that such a music was created two hundred years ago. Harmony between each section reminds me the equilibrium of the nature. 3:10 is an example, a crossfade between string section and woodwind section. 8:58 is breathtaking, Starting from the violin, all part play once and become an unified but diversified nature. Masterpiece!

@practicepalace Yes, somewhat, but not in the way you imagine. I had an audio recording, and a score in a notation program. I aligned the two by ear, and I corrected the score by ear. But I did not transcribe the notes by ear (there's no need, since I also have a printed version of the score to use as a reference).

@smalin Thank you for your answer. Yes, I Imagine the process can be a little tedious, which makes me more grateful for your videos. I find the style you used in Bach's Preludio from the Partita in E Major to be quite interesting and appealing to a broader audience, I think you should keep heading in that direction. Anyway, Congratulations!

@Jp221292 It gets easier in that I get a little faster at doing the steps; it gets harder in that it gets more boring (for the ones with animation styles I've used a lot, like this one). Imagine listening to this movement thirty or forty times, at half-speed, checking for missing or incorrect notes, correcting the timing synchronization, etc. Some of Beethoven's music is quite varied all the way through, but this piece is pretty repetitive, and at half-speed, it can make you crazy.

Sometimes I make study MIDI's for my students, and I change the notes based on the articulations of the notes, like changing stacatto quarter notes to eighth notes plus eighth rests so the MIDI plays more similar to how it should be performed. But it surely would be a very long work to do.

Jeezo Criminy!!! Howzabout a spoiler alert, willya??!!?? ;) Actually, a wonderful performance by Edward G. Robinson in this pretty cool movie. His last performance on screen as he was dying of bladder cancer unbeknownst to the cast and crew. His final scene with this as the musical score and Charleston Heston looking on and seeing for the first time what the world had lost was gripping. This was the perfect musical backdrop for that powerful scene. EGR died 12 days after filming was concluded.
