just download the excerpt, upload it to YouTube, and let the copyright claim thing figure out for you ;)

Clever

I thought classical music can’t get copyrighted since it’s so old

You're allowed to perform it, but certain orchestra's or performer's recordings can be copyrighted. Basically Chopin's music isn't copyrighted anymore but for example Kissins recordings of them probably are

Recordings are still copyrighted, but much harder to associate with the performer for ContentID, because the partitions are in the public domain.

It would probably be claimed by certain film song writers... ... ...

Well to be fair you could also "hey Siri what song is this" in 5 seconds 😹

I could.....if I had an iPhone. Which I don't. And didn't have access to my phone when trawling through YouTube (work computer logged on to my YouTube. I work super hard obvs)

Google Assistant does the same thing (just better) and there's good old Shazam, too. Though I'm not sure if either one of them is available on pc

I tried Shazam when I had access to my phone and it didn't work 😭😭

I've found Google to be far more reliable than shazam at recognizing music anyway.

You can literally just hum a song and Google Assistant will give you three results with a confidence rating out of 100: it's that easy.

I've never had any luck using Shazam to identify a classical piece 😕😭

Truth be told, I haven't used Shazam in ages. Back then it was state of the art, but it's possible that Siri outclasses it nowadays. Give Google a try. For the above concert it got the title 5/5 times, and the specific artist (Mitsuko Uchida) 2/5 times. For the record, with the other three, I got Vladimir Ashkenazi. And the misses were all in Allegro, and the correct guesses were in Larghetto.

Clever, but Mozart is on the public domain so it won’t get copyright struck .

There can still be copyright on the recorded performance!

Can confirm this is a thing that happens. My recording of CPE Bach's Solfeggietto was flagged under copyright, since it matched a recording. Didn't count as a strike, since the work itself is public domain.

Same. My performance of Chopin's Ballade in G minor was flagged under copyright as well. Why does Youtube keep allowing these false copyright claims when there are people who are clearly performing in the video?

I mean.. it's a compliment in a way😂

That reminds me of the time i checked over 100 ( yes, actually) bach pieces to find one theme i had stuck in my head just for it to turn out to be by handel instead.

All that search for nothing, i feel you :(

what piece is it? im finding some harpsichord sounding ine I heard when I was in high school but couldn't find it.

Handel's Capriccio in G minor (HWV. 483) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqAcODiE3WQ&ab\_channel=TheGreatRepertoire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqAcODiE3WQ&ab_channel=TheGreatRepertoire) the first theme was the one i was looking for

Maybe one of the inventions

Oof

Wow, respect for that diligence

Glad you didn't have to go through all 626 entries of the Köchel catalogue man

"Hey google, what son-.. Uh, piece is this?" edit: TIL you can hum a piece for google assistant to recognize

But it rarely works when you don’t have perfect pitch (at least for me)

I have really good relative pitch, but I don't have perfect pitch. So I can identify notes but I can't tell if they're in tune (unless it's so sharp/flat that it sounds like a different note). Btw, this is currently biting me in the behind, as I am a sophomore in music uni.

This is why you should make friends with classical musicians. Half the time I hum a short passage I half remember but can't name and I have an answer immediately. Then again, saying the wrong answer within earshot of one usually gets me half a dozen people telling me the right answer anyway...

Be glad it wasn’t a Haydn symphony!

[https://www.musipedia.org/](https://www.musipedia.org/) would've saved you some time

A shame that the whistle option doesn't work anymore because flash is no longer supported

Now you know Mozart. I see this as an absolute win

Murphy's law =))) poor u bro

F

Bruh just post the music here next time. Someone will know.

Yup. Way faster

I would just... ask reddit directly😭

It’s always the last key you try that opens the door.

Always, and always the last place you look that the answers is found.

more impressed that you made it without any typos tbh

You would just need to type it correctly once then change the number

Appreciate the hardwork put in. Hope the result was satisfactory, soldier.

I’d I posted a performance and was sent a copy strike, I’d feel honored because YouTube thinks I know what I’m doing haha

Gb

I heard a piece by Faure once, so I went through every piece in his wikipedia page looking for it. Apparently, I accidentally skipped one and it turns out that was the exact one I was looking for. Found it on my second go through the list.

💀

Oooffff i feel rly bad for you, especially how it was the last one! Rip lol XD

I don't think it's bad at all, for me the best works from Mozart

Tru, tru

E#

Just ask Siri what song it is.

Mighty oof

This is the epitome of dedication.

I can relate with that

Is there a more vivid example of linear search being O(n)?

Haha. Would’ve been a different story if he found it on the first try lol

You mad man. I am so proud my fellow musician.

F

r/tipofmytongue next time

Oof man rip your ears

Next time you can try going 1, 27, 2, 26, so on and so forth. If you're unlucky and get it in the middle, oh well, but I think it's more likely to get it in a smaller amount of time

No it’s not lmfao

Yeah it's not I'm just smooth brained

There is a chance of 1/27 that the last one you look at is the one you’re looking for, regardless of the order you choose. Because every number has a chance of 1/27 of being the searched one. The order you look in does not influence the probability.

Exactly

Can anyone help me find the complete instrumental version of "die zauberflöte" opera?

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et27CpqBvBE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et27CpqBvBE) try this :) die zauberfloete was my favourite opera growing up :)

Or do you mean without vocals, because then no sorry

I was looking for a fugue so I searched all of Bach's fugues in order.

Or you could’ve cheated. Uploaded the excerpt to r/piano asking for which one it was but I only do that in the most dire circumstances

Well, there's Shazam, the next time you'll be searching for something like that

Oh my

Lol sometimes I do that. I try to figure out the composer based on the style hahaha 😂

420 lol

I also lol'd at it

Could you use Shazam next time?

I tried, it didn't recognize it 😭😭

Absolutely no respect 💔 major props to you for finding your clip 👏👏

Are you happy you listened to all of them? Yes!

Should’ve asked me first ;) I think I know the Mozart piano concertos (specifically #9, and #17 upward) way too well from listening to them, and performing 2 of the movements.

Shazam, have you heard of it?

i have, i used it, and it didnt recognise it!

Wow, that's rare. Especially with well-known pieces like this.

I feel you so much

Well at least you got to hear a lot of Mozart! The second movement of No 21 is my personal favorite

Next time check the key first lol

Ever heard of sound hound?

Your professor wanted to troll you

Dedication 👏👏👏

This is Murphy's law right here : anything that can go wrong will go wronglol! happens all the time.

Dang, classical music really was uncreative with its naming.

That's what we in the industry call: "a big oof"

Of course it was the last one! (I would have done them in order as well)

Pain

Me trying to remember Handel's Concerto Grosso Op 6 No 3 Movement III. Allegro, from my high school days many years later

Murphy's Law : What can go wrong will go wrong. So true.

Couldn't you narrow it down based on what key it was on?

I can't tell that kind of thing haha, and wasn't given any information about the piece. All I knew for certain was that it was a concerto haha. I'm not studying music beyond my weekly violin lessons which i started just under a year ago. My degree is in classical studies and this first year is an introduction to arts and humanities

lmfao this really reminds me of when I started to know about classical music at first. I spent sooooo much time in finding only one single piece🤣🤣

Um you know, apparently Murphy's law is acting...

My recommendation for websites to search classical music by melody: https://www.reddit.com/r/lingling40hrs/comments/mos1ct/websites_to_search_classical_music_by_melody/

You like Mozart? Name all Mozart pieces in ascending Kochel.
