Field notes

The programme treats Beethoven's Fifth as a rhythm section starting point, describing its opening as a percussion figure, while the track notes connect the left hand of “Für Elise” to a bass line. The site says the eight-track, 17-minute record was recorded with an orchestra. Its view counts are attributed to Instagram and explicitly exclude TikTok and YouTube.
