“How do you liven up an ordinary day in Newcastle? Play the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata in a bus station, and get commuters to play the single melodic lines. Many of the contributors had never played, and added their single-note contributions through the power of editing. The professional pianist in the video is Andy Jackson.”

This is so much fun, and a great way to demystify classical music. I love the “I’m doing it!” look so many of the commuters get on their faces while they plink their one note.
Bus Station Sonata (by antnhec)
![“Beethoven 1-32, commissioned by Luminato as part of its 2012 festival, features a series of 32 original drawings by [Jorinde] Voigt, a rising star of the German art scene. It complements Luminato’s presentation of Stewart Goodyear: The Beethoven Marathon, Goodyear’s highly anticipated performance of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas, performed all in one day, in the order in which they were composed. Voigt’s works provide their own distinct visual interpretation and expression of the emotive power of Beethoven’s piano music.”
