I listened to the Clara Schumann piece and I thought the low notes have a "perfectly tinny" sound, as if they were computer-generated on MATLAB. Or like a harpsichord. I assume that's the difference?
- jacquesm 3y agoI wouldn't call it tinny, I would call the alternative 'muddy'. It's a much more pure tone than you would get from a 'normal' bass string (which is actually quite a complex piece by itself).
- calf 3y agoWell I can hear a repetitive rattling sound on the low bass notes, but it is rattling very fast and evenly. So I call that tinny. A pure treble note like from a computer wave form does not rattle like that, to my ears. A normal piano is supposed to have impure frequencies, it's part of the timbre and what gives it warmth. Like a chocolate or winey kind of muddy. Artistically I much prefer that.
- dsubburam 3y agoFWIW I've noticed that "rattling" (which I think I hear in the Liszt Funerailles video) in some K-pop videos featuring electronic low bass at the ~40Hz level. I think it might be natural and not an artifact or flaw.
