MOZART c.1984! by Chi-Yeung Choy from ZX Computing Jun/Jul.1984 Chi-Yeung Choy of Ruislip flexes his fingers and performs this musical masterpiece. The Spectrum's oft maligned beep has been considered too feeble for any reasonable musical application in the past, but now we present a program which will make you think again! Instead of the usual selection of sound effects or brief burst of barely recognisable tunes, Chi-Yeung has successfully programmed a computer version of the first movement of Mozart's piano sonata in C Major K545. What is even more amazing is that it is written all in BASIC and fits into the 16K machine! A great deal of thought and attention to technical detail has gone into this program. For instance, the subroutines have been put at the start of the program to get every ounce of speed from the computer. Chi-Yeung tells us that his greatest problem was fitting it into the 16K due to the amount of DATA required and that he almost gave up. Type it in and then give your fingers a rest and your ears a treat. Play on maestro! Program breakdown Lines 30-230 Subroutines. Lines 240-520 DATA statements containing pitch of notes. Line 1000 Set up variables for note duration. Lines 1010-2070 Main program consisting of FOR-NEXT loops. -- Another Fine Product transcribed by: Jim Grimwood (jimg@globalnet.co.uk), Weardale, England --
