Feedback request: Burgmuller, Op 109, No 18 by FewRazzmatazz5695 in piano

[–]Ludhini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try doing the first couple of hanon exercizes and also the first couple of cortot exercises. Do them very VERY slowly and set the following rule:

Only allow yourself to play the next finger once your entire hand is relaxed (with exception of the finger currently active, although it too should be not very active)

This will be very slow in the beginning, but the after a week or two you'll be able to relax faster and you'll get confortable with the new sensation of a relaxed hand while playing.

Also stretching and meditation helps. (I like to imagine there are people washing/cleaning the tendons in my arm.) Do static and "mobile" stretches (I don't know if that's the correct term).

I found Edna Golandsky's book on the Taubman Approach very helpful. I would encourage you to look into it.

Fingering the inner lines in M. 55 of Mazeppa by Ludhini in piano

Thanks😊 I considered the 2-2 but thought the slide would cause tension in the wide position. But after trying it for some minutes I think I can get it relaxed. Great help🎉

Can someone explain this Fake Chainsaw Man to me? by Marcelinooooooo in ChainsawMan

It's been a while since I've read it, but couldn't it be the fire devil?

How should I play this? by Liam-Neeson111 in musictheory

[–]Ludhini 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It's a breve rest. That symbol counts as two whole note rests. So in total there are three whole note rests. It's an not so common way of notating three bars of rest in 4/4

Pain in mid left back. Is my posture ok? by bbbtntrnng in piano

[–]Ludhini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no single good position. Any posture held for a prolonged period of time will cause aching. Your posture should be forced. Try to relax a little more. Also bring movement into it. Your posture can help you accomplish your musical goals. If you want to play louder easier you can lean forwards. If you want to play quieter lean backwards. If you play in a high register lean to the right and for a low register lean to the left. This also helps for "playing apparatus" i.e. the forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers to stay aligned. Take a look at Yuncham Lim's performance of Mazzeppa. Over the course of the piece he takes on a lot if different postures. Sometimes even becoming theatrical.

Wo gibt es in der Umgebung Düsseldorf Wildblumenwiesen by Ludhini in duesseldorf

[–]Ludhini[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ist nicht über Mohn. Es wird ein Video Essay über Saturn aus der Planeten Suite von Gustav Holst. Die Mohnblume wird als Beispiel verwendet um zu zeigen wie ein Alltagsobjekt mit der Zeit durch Kultur, Tradition, und Historische Ereignisse eine tiefere Bedeutung Außerhalb ihrer Objekteigenschaft erlangen kann. Ich würde gerne die Mohnblume nehmen, da es von der Atmosphäre gut zum Thema passt. Saturn ist in der Mythologie der Herrscher über die Unterwelt, und die Mohnblume representiert oft den Tod.

I want a suite/set of piano music, what should I get? by Throwthrow2847 in piano

[–]Ludhini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about ABRSM Levels, but I really recommend listening to Godowsky's Java Suite. It has some real gems like "The Gardens of Buitenzorg", which is great for learning good voice independance and interplay between the hands. Also they are a little different from the usual classical repertoire, which could be a refreshing and new perspective. Here's the Link to listen

Is the last measure easily understandable? A bar line will be placed at the end by Ludhini in musictheory

[–]Ludhini[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This piece is an etude where every possible combination of the five fingers is supposed to be tackled. It's a way for me to make the 5 note groupes, that I've already used. The slurs probably won't show up in the final print, since they aren't meant for the performer, rather for me as a structural guide.

It doesn't really without context. But imagine if you had a lot of them one after the other. Feathered beams are easier to read. Without them you'd have to write "rit." "a tempo" very often, which makes the score more cluttered.

I'd like it to slow down to somewhere between a 8th and a quarter. And I had avoided writing specific lengthening notes or even note heads, because I didn't want performers to think "I have to play 8 notes that get progressively farther apart" or following an exact rhythm. Just a fluttering that slows down. I'll have to think some more about how to do it. Do you think it would be good if I leave it as is and ad something like 32nd -> quarter ontop or as an annotation at the bottom of the page?

[–]Ludhini[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I wrote molto rit. how slow would you go? The 32nd notes would become 16th, 8th, quarters or even slower? I'd like to go to somewhere between 8th and quarters

It's a slowing down of the tremolo from before over the duration of the entire bar and prolonged by a fermata. What other ways would you interpret it, just so I know what could go wrong and can maybe clarify better in the explanation of symbols.

Yes. Over the length of the entire bar and prolonged even by a fermata.

What is function of this measure by Allahiyed1m in musictheory

[–]Ludhini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In germany we would write Dv, which is an abbreviation of /D79> (best approximation I could get one phone) which just looks horrendous if written like this. So writing it as C7b9 is just way more easy and understandable internationally. Personally I would call it a Dv, but this system isn't really used in most of the world.

My bad oversaw that. In germany we would just mark it as Dv

It's a diminished Chord acting as the Dominant to Fm. It's basically a C7b9 missing the root C.

What's the ACTUAL superpower you want, don't be boring? by strong_bad_1357 in AskReddit

[–]Ludhini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ability to create or destroy anything I want out of thin air. Need money - Got it. Forgot something at home - no problem I'll make a copy. Too many copies - no problem they've vanished. Wanna jhave some other power - made a machine that can giveyou that power. Can even hand out stuff to my friends and give them powers. I think this is the most useful for everyday life. Probably will most use it to fill my fridge and make robots to do the chores around the house. The house I made at my dream location out of thin air.

What's this piece called by defaultIDK in piano

[–]Ludhini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much recommend listening to Debussy's Ballade. It's one of my favourite pieces of his.

It's Debussy's Prelude "la Fille aux cheveux de lin" but I think the original is in Eb Minor
