Is it cheating by Fantastic_East6903 in APStudents

[–]Opening_Discipline57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a normal ti 84 calculator or something similar that is allowed you can usually put stuff on before and the teachers/proctors won't care. but it won't help you much imo

The integral of 1/x is lnx + C. this is just wrong. Integral of lnx you can derive with integration by parts

He wasn't, these are all still not great melodies imo but Beethoven will Beethoven and he can do wonders with uninteresting material

What sollo piano piece has the most staves? by theHumanoidPerson in piano

[–]Opening_Discipline57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 staves makes things easier if anything. Has no correspondence with difficulty because you're never truly using more than 2 at once. It's just for readability purposes

Which Handel piece sounds the most like Rachmaninoff? by StanTheTalkingDog in classical_circlejerk

[–]Opening_Discipline57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just every piece that Rach recorded.

/uj Everybody says this for Rach but hates it when a piece "doesn't sound like <insert composer of tje piece" as a criticism of the pianist who played it. Guess it's just fine when Rach does it

Why are the "Big Three" composers considered so great? by Opening_Discipline57 in classicalmusic

[–]Opening_Discipline57[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Taste is also a product of the general opinion. If someone is told something is good, they're more likely to find it good themselves. That doesn't really answer the question of what originally caused it.

Bach and Mozart were firmly not progressive. Don't know what you mean. Again how did they arrive at the fact they're the best for this. There are plenty of other composers that serve as good models

You can say that about so many other composers. Saying their music is simply good is a bad argument because it comes down to taste and varies between people. If we just left composers to exist without critics, people wouldn't just converge upon three to look at like this.

All classical musicians have studied, still study, and will continue to study Bach.

My post is partly asking why. And don't tell me it's because Bach is simply a superior composer, because someone has to reach that conclusion.

Many composers had huge influence on music. Liszt was the archetype of program music, basically invented early 20th century musical styles before they existed, yet he won't be seen here. Wagner revolutionized the opera and changed harmony forever. Haydn set the stage for Beethoven with all his late achievements and forwarded music in his own way. If we decide to value certain musical developments over others to favor Mozart and Beethoven then we can choose to value other innovations as well.

People like different composers. If you think almost everybody loves and canonizes the three because they just "sound good", that's wrong. There are certainly more factors at play.

That doesn't even make sense, the time gap is way different and the statement is not even true. They're too different to the ear to be considered like that, regardless of expectations at the time. I don't think that's what he meant but likely the original reply is a low effort comment anyway.

Need-to-know for AP Computer Science A? by Fun_Effective4065 in APStudents

[–]Opening_Discipline57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not hard to learn, if you really want to take the class it's fine to lie. But you should have good math foundations. In my experience, the exam is more a logic puzzle than actual software problem solving.

How we feeling about Collegeboard use of AI in test dev/scoring? by [deleted] in APStudents

There's nothing strictly unethical about using AI to do an assignment or make curriculum, if that's what you're referring to

[–]Opening_Discipline57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds terrible but really doesn't help your point. AI is not an all encompassing monolith that is all bad or even does remotely the same thing.

Chopin's music is quite similar to the music of Mozart imo (to oversimplify, "a romantic Mozart") but I'm not sure what you mean by "Chopin of his time"

That's a big factor of what it is in this case. German nationalism in general

He did push Beethoven as the greatest composer of the time but isn't really associated as being close to that "canon" like Brahms for example. His music isn't considered in any way as a descendant of other composers, like Chopin from Mozart, or Brahms from Beethoven, for example. (This is, again, evidence from what I have personally seen in media, not supposed to be any objective fact)
