Take a break and relax with 4 minutes of Chopin and a mesmerizing video created by Stephen Malinowski. Malinowski is a talented musician, composer, inventor, and software engineer. He invented a software program called the Music Animation Machine that transforms classical masterpieces into captivating videos in which each note is represented in an animated score. We love this animation of Chopin’s Nocturne in E-Flat Major, Opus 9, No. 2!
Last year, we shared an animation of Debussy’s Clair de Lune, also created by Malinowski. Watch that video here!
