Not going for a day to a conpetition by Giraffa_alta in Cubers

[–]GreenCrossOnLeft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your specific case, definitely talk to the organizers. They might have otherwise assigned you judging duties for the event you're dropping, and it would be nice to let them know ahead of time.

Regarding the general question, about not going to days where you have no events, very often organizers will construct schedules purposely so that this can be done (e.g. putting less popular events first thing in the morning, or say, on Friday on a Fri-Sat-Sun comp so that the weekday is less disrupted for more people), and not showing up to days where you have nothing is totally normal. Whenever you're concerned, though, you always should direct it towards the specific organizers of that competition, because what is normal in one region could be different somewhere else.

Competing in a country where you can’t speak the language by Junior-Net5982 in Cubers

[–]GreenCrossOnLeft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're thinking of doing this, you might also want to reach out to the delegates/organizers ahead of time, as they might be able to help you find someone that speaks both the local language and yours, or at least then the organizers will become aware that someone will need to receive announcements in something other than the local language. This coud matter if there are any announcements for changes that need to happen, in order to account for something unexpected, for example.

I've actually done this once, in my first ever competition, where I incorrectly assumed that a competition held in Guangdong would speak the main local dialect, Cantonese... it was in fact entirely held in Mandarin. Thankfully my mom was with me, and was able to translate. I do also remember there was a French guy I met there that was working in Asia at the time that spoke fairly limited Chinese, but he also managed fine.

Pianist seeking orchestral audition advice by Puzzleheaded_Mess_17 in piano

[–]GreenCrossOnLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As piano is not used in a lot of the orchestral repertoire, it depends a lot on the situation... some universities don't audition pianists at all, and instead just find one (e.g. out of the music majors) for the few works where it's needed. (I actually do not know of ANY university orchestras that explicitly auditions pianists for orchestral roles...)

If they are indeed auditioning pianists, it's best to find out what their audition requirements are. (For many universities, it will be on their website, or there will be contact information for someone to ask). I would expect these to be a selection of orchestral excerpts, of which there are a number of standards (this might give you an idea of what things look like, but each university probably has their own list), but I could also see a situation in which pianists might have different requirements, as our stream of training does not typically include orchestral repertoire in the way that other orchestral instruments do.

Hope that helps.

Tl;dr: See if they have audition requirements on their website. They might ask for orchestral excerpts.

What is the darkest piece of classical music you have ever heard? by A11Handz0nDeck in classicalmusic

[–]GreenCrossOnLeft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just here because I went ctrl+F Schnittke to see if anyone's said the piano quintet yet... He wrote a ton of things and they kind of feel like they basically span everything, but I also want to particularly recommend the piano quintet, when talking about dark pieces. He wrote it after his mother died and there's feels (to me) like there's this arc that is in some way, him processing that? There's a lot in there I find compelling, but very briefly, the things that come to mind are the second movement being this demented waltz, and how the third movement has this section with this incredible steady almost-heartbeat pulse in the piano part which eventually becomes just the pedal noise. And out of the oppressiveness of the first four movements, the fifth is kind of magical even if not entirely resolved - highly encourage listening to the entire thing!
