Can you play Spinach Rag for me?
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Speaking of 'rag', have you ever considered playing any Joplin pieces or is the ragtime genre not your thing?
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
which is harder chopin or liszt

Also, Dr. John.... Art Tatum... ... and not for his technique, but for his music -- Thelonius Monk. And Fats Waller for his music and humor. I also like Sunnyland Slim, for blues piano. And Tom Waits for his style and writing.... yeh, I know they're not classical, but had to mention. But Vladimir Horowitz is the man. Heard him 2 or 3 times in Ann Arbor Michigan. Not only could he play amazing, powerful pieces (Rach 3, etc. -- though that I've only heard in recordings), but when he played Schumann's 'Traumerei' (sp?), somehow even the two opening notes -- just a simple interval, just a fourth -- were miraculous and beautiful. He flowed right into the piano. And I believe I heard him play the "Stars & Stripes Forever" transcription live too.... Vlad's the man. insect_sister new to this forum but reading away Oh yeh, and Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner were no slouches either... and I've enjoyed Dave Brubeck from time to time... What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I can play the drink milk love life song.... & its very slow! but my GF playes... & I always have a fond ear to the piano... I always ask her to play songs but me, I personally like songs that she has created rather then her do a cover song... same with me playing guitar, I would rather play my own than rip off someones song; not like its much of a rip off!

One of my favorite pianists is Murray Perahia. His interpretations are almost always very lyrical and sensitive. Horowitz was great as well but I thought most of his recordings were very bangy and percussive. However, he has had some very wonderful moments though certainly deserves to be well recognized.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
i would say my favourite pianist at the moment is Vladimir Horowitz.
I change my taste all the time... it really depends on who's works the pianists are playing. they each have different style so it's pretty hard to tell who you like the best. By the way i just got a question here... anyone know how hard is it to play Chopin Nocturne op.48 no.1? What level would this piece be rank at? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Not as hard as you think. Why don't you give it a try?
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
How ya doing, buddy? |

Another question! I only recently started going to live classical music concerts and I was wondering.. is it common practice for a pianist who is playing in a concert or even in a recital to play with sheet music in front of them?
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
It depends. It's not unheard of. Especially if he is playing with a chamber ensemble.

Fair enough. What about in a competition? Would adjudicators deduct marks from you for having sheet music there? I was always lead to believe that looking at sheet music was a sign of lack of preparation on the pianist's behalf.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
but dunno if my teacher will let me learn it so i want to know how difficult this piece is, and if it's possible for me to ask him to teach me this piece. So any ideas or what grade you would place this piece (chopin Nocturne op48 no.1) in? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
lol i think i have alright length hands...not very big but better than most other people in my gender =P
i guess i'll ask my teacher after i've done my assessment and see what he says about it. thanks a lot This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I have a question. On the sheets for certain songs, such as Gackt's "blue", and "Brave new heart" from Leaf piano collection (which I believe was actually transcribed by face) it seems that you have to play three different parts at the same time. Is it actually possible for one person to play this on their own?
Most amazing jew boots

It is possible and having 3 lines makes it easier to read most of the time. They do that because if they put all the notes in just 2 lines then it would be too cluttered. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Anywho the above answer is probebly the right one however if it does ever occur having 3 lines all the same size without defining a second person or what so ever, it's probebly spaced out proprely so you don't need to be mutated into 3 hands to play. But since you DID say Gackt (being a band and all), the top line is probebly the melody (singing?) and the bottom two would be the piano accompaniment to the song.

^ Ah ok, it makes sense now.
I'm pretty sure the Gackt song "blue" has no singing. I don't even really like it, I was just trying to think of examples... Anyway, thank you both for your help! FELIPE NO |
does anyone know that if there's any differences between these two pieces
or are they the same (it's by Mendelssohn) "Andante & Rondo Caprricio" and "Rondo Caprricio" What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
They're both the same. Mendelssohn's famous Rondo Capriccioso starts with an andante section.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
thanks Minion
now i get it =) By the way do you think this rondo capriccio by Mendelssohn is harder or chopin's nocturne op27 no2, Schumann's Faschingsschwank aus Wien or Khachaturian's toccata? Out of the four which one do you reckon is the hardest to learn and perform? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Well, I hate Schumann, so I'm gonna ignore that one. Definitely not the nocturne. Probably the Rondo is the most difficult to play well (pay special attention to the articulation).
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I like the Rondo Capriccio the best out of all the recommended pieces i got given...but guess my teacher doesn't want me to play it yet....(but he was the one who recommended the piece to me and then 2 days later he regreted) =(
The schumann one i only the intermezzo part... Chopin sounds okay...but apparently my piano teacher really wants me to play Khachaturian's toccata or the Schumann one. I was thinking picking one from either Debussy's Pour le Piano, Chopin Nocturne or Mendelssohn's Rondo.... How ya doing, buddy? |
try some Debussy you just might like it! (some of them does sound sketchy for me... oh impressionists )
I'm don't think I recall how that Schumann song looks like but most of his pieces are for BIG HANDS (ie. reach a 10th mind you T__T ...) I was speaking idiomatically. |
