Inspired by this, I added an automatic youtube link to Musipedia.

For instance, if you search for DDRRUUUDDRDDDUD , you'll notice Youtube links to the Schumann piano concerto which are visible at the bottom of the result item. If you click on the three dots at the end of the line, you'll see the top 10 matches from youtube instead of just the top match, which in this case gives you access to all movements of this piece.

yes, there are various possibilities, for instance:

- midi2ly (Lilypond, works on many platforms, creates a format that is suitable for inclusion in Musipedia, works best if the MIDI file is sensibly quantized)

- "Notation Musician" or "Notation Composer": a Windows-only program which deals better with MIDI files that are not quantized (e.g., recordings of someone playing on a MIDI piano) and is probably easier to use than midi2ly, but is more locked in to Windows and is a bit of its own proprietary world.

There is probably more out there.

Yes Schumann. Thanks.

great!

btw, this is how I did it:

1. I remembered having heard this melody, but not what it was. So I entered the Parsons Code into Musipedia to find the composer and title: DDRRUUUDDRDDDUD

2. Listened to the Amazon recording, now I was pretty certain that I found it.

Unfortunately, nobody has entered the actual melody into Musipedia yet; for this melody, only the Parsons code existed. That's possibly why you could not find it in the first place - since the melody was absent, most search methods cannot find it.
If someone has the sheet music handy, it would be great if the melody could be added to the Musipedia entry!

Hello,

I have this tune running in my head.
It sounds like what Chopin or Rachmannov could have been.
Or maybe movie soundtrack ? At any rate, I don't remember composing it :-).
I appreciate helping hand in identifying. It's sweet melody, actually.

My voice recording is also at http://www.wikiupload.com/M86L5R2MKY3MJ15
same as audio hash above.

Thanks

Hi Yakov, welcome to the forum!

I feel strongly reminded of this piano concerto: http://www.musipedia.org/edit.html?&L=0&no_cache=1&tx_detedit_pi1[tid]=d516b13671a4179d9b7b458a6ebdeb92

To test if I am right, you can click onto the CD cover on the right side of that detail page; it will take you to the Amazon store. Hit "play" for the first movement (Allegro affettuoso) (the play button is on the left, next to "1."), and please tell me if I guessed right :-)

You must login to post a message to this conference.

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
