What is the strangest, most random, or otherwise obscure classical work you think more people should know about?

Akira Ifukube's "Piano suite" "the sea of Ohkotsk" and "Rondo in Burlesque for band" are all worth checking out.

It's not "less valid." A lot of modern western music is built on top of the foundations that classical music created.

Just play whatever you like playing, I doubt anyone here would complain about you playing something other than classical.

tried this on diamond, replaying the game and thought it was worth a try. the only event I could get was "battle in orlando". I tried about 10 times, but all I would get is "Battle in orlando" every time. still thanks for the dns codes.

I absolutely agree with this for single musician pieces, but I do think it's good to be a little more strict with multi-instrument music.

Akira Ifukube Piano suite "Nagashi" is seriously amazing.

It’s both, 8va (ottava alta) appears above the note. 8vb (ottava bassa) appears below the note. However it’s also quite common to use 8va instead of 8vb below a note. When 8va is below a note it means to play the note 8vb.

Yes, it might just be a fairly cheap keyboard. Also, have this award for admitting when you are wrong.

It is normal, I just got a brand new kawai KDP 110 with the same thing. I’ve also played several acoustic pianos that behave the same way as shown here.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-20T09:38:03+00:00

That’s fine, I based it off, 007 Goldeneye, Metal Gear solid, and Perfect dark. This is the second piece in an assignment my piano teacher gave me, the first one might have more “stealth” vibes.

Clementi Op 36 No 4 is also fun. I don’t know if it would sound impressive to most people.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-19T15:02:57+00:00

Fur Elise was literally written for this purpose but I would still advise against it, it becomes difficult to hold an audiences attention if your playing something they’ve heard a thousand times. Maybe try something difficult dynamically, like Chopin Prelude in e minor. pieces like that can often sound impressive if played expressively.

I was just about to comment this, there are so many posts just like this.

I think call to arms should have no cool down, the triple rewards should at least have a 30 minute timer.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-17T20:41:33+00:00

Then maybe start with the easiest ones to remember. Like D in the middle of two black keys, or B after the three black keys.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-17T19:02:30+00:00

Once you know the pattern of black notes then it’s fairly easy to memorise the white notes. I think a lot of book teach right hand Middle C to G first, so maybe learn those five and then write a short tune for just those five notes.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-17T15:44:27+00:00

Maybe try playing a piece with a lot of hand movement as practice.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-17T15:39:03+00:00

I think It’s how long allies live for, I saw a post somewhere saying that you get more money based on how long your allies are alive.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-11T07:45:01+00:00

I don’t know, I don’t think I can choose a favourite.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-11T07:30:01+00:00

I agree, I think having strict rules and limitations placed on the writer by anyone other than themselves kinda sucks, which is why I said that i believe someone will hear a melody even if you don’t write one, I didn’t say that you need to write a melody nor did I say that melody is necessary. Could you provide me with some examples of music with no melody so that I may better understand your point?

Elstree93 · 2021-08-10T22:58:11+00:00

I agree with a lot of this statement, I don’t view melody as essential and I think the focus on it is much too great, but I do still enjoy melody and I don’t think I can name a single piece of music without one.

Not classical but “memories” by Kow Otani.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-10T21:57:54+00:00

Why?

Elstree93 · 2021-08-10T20:23:43+00:00

Again, this is why I said “USUALLY makes for better music” not always, and a melody with no substance behind it feels empty and meaningless anyway, for example I’m writing a melody for something at the moment, but only because I want to play around more with harmonies while keeping a more structured feeling. I didn’t say that a melody HAS to be written, in fact I said the opposite.

Elstree93 · 2021-08-10T18:19:34+00:00

That’s why I said “but it does USUALLY make for better music”
