The Silence after Bach's Chaconne
A video of 39 times the last measure n° 257 of #JSBach's #Chaconne by 39 different performers, one after the other.

@BEkanBE 11′18″ is fast, but there's even faster (well, only one out of the 48 featured in https://t.co/hGlFYyEu1V is faster).

New performer #47, Marie Leonhardt. After a ten-day break (Bachfest in Leipzig), we're back again with the very fine version of Marie Leonhardt on Baroque Violin.

@Baerenreiter We love Trazom so much that we spend valuable time building a silly site where others can spend even more time searching for Trazom.

Have a look at the histogram here : https://t.co/yg7gc1fgVd (hover on the bars to display performers' names to reveal who are the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc., lucky outlier performers)
Following the data crunching trend started yesterday with the calculation of the average tempo (55 quarter notes per minute, if I may remind it to you), we continue today with the count of youtube video views per month.
However, our brains aren't (yet?) able to distinguish between endogenous and exogenous factors, and we often think that the higher the number of views, the more worthwhile it is to be viewed, don't we?
I made a quick and dirty interactive histogram about this data at

𝟓𝟓 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞. I did a little math. Currently, there are 46 performances featured at https://t.co/hGlFYyEu1V, for a total duration of 38,597,435 milliseconds ~= 𝟏𝟎𝐡 𝟒𝟑𝐦 𝟏𝟕𝐬. Yes, you can spend ~ 11 consecutive hours on the app 🤣.
(14m = 840s) >>> 771 ♩(257 bars x 3 ♩)
(1m = 60s) >>> how many♩?
rule of three:
(60 x 771) / 840 = 𝟓𝟓
The average metronome speed for these 46 performances is therefore 𝟓𝟓 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. The same day that Théo Ould's accordion was added to https://t.co/hGlFYyEu1V, I transformed the left menu for choosing the performers into ... an accordion menu.
Humour potache.
