Thank you! That is a crucial omission.
I avoided including the MIDI/Score files in the repo to avoid licensing issues, but I have updated the analysis document immediately with the Wikipedia and IMSLP links.
The ideal experience (as shown in the README gif) is actually running the visualizer alongside a score editor like MuseScore via MIDI port sniffing, so you can see the geometric cursor sync with the sheet music cursor. But for reading the text, the recording is essential context. Thanks for the links.
Chopin's music is in the public domain and can be shared without licensing. Only particular recordings of the music are copyrighted/licensed by artists/labels.
There's two issues with that. Sometimes people publishing sheet music alter it and then they can claim copyright. Second is that that old original sheet music can be illegible to modern musicians – it has evolved over time.
