Reacting to one of the worst pieces of classical music ever

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

I've received repeated criticism over my choice to present a MIDI sequence, which is fair, but I did this because I was unable to source a good human performance at the time I made this video. David Bolton, aka The Digital Harpsichordist, was kind enough to learn and record it the other day. You can listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yQpistaKtM

David has recorded obscure, all-but-forgotten works by over 1,100 different composers, and is an expert interpreter of this sort of music. He's doing excellent preservationist work over on his channel, and I would recommend checking it out. While his interpretation of "The Battle of Prague" is great, he also admits that, among the mountains of music he has recorded, this piece stands out as being of an especially low quality. As they say, you can't polish a turd.
