Musical roller coaster Visualization of the 1st violin of the 2nd symphony, 4th movement by Ferdinand Ries in the shape of a rollercoaster. The camera starts by showing a close-up of the score, then focuses on the notes of the first violin turning the staves into the winding rail tracks of the rollercoaster. The notes and bars were exactly synchronised with the progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music. A dramatic piece of classical music can sometimes seem like a roller coaster of sound. This ad for the Zurich Chamber Orchestra takes that idea literally with this fun musical roller coaster animation.
