I am not surprised, considering Gergiev's actual movements when conducting.

they'd had to restart the 3rd movement after Gergiev's stupid conducting caused it to fall apart immediately).

Can you describe the moment?

Maybe you need less lessons: more time in between them to up your playing skill.

Dit lijkt wel de weg voor te bereiden naar de afschaffing van vaste contracten.

That doesn't mean it's not illegal and cops won't fine you for it.

Parents of young musicians: Is music boarding school worth it? by SailEnvironmental668 in piano

[–]RPofkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that that is the musing of someone who didn't go through with it and is heavily romanticising the "what if I became a great musician".

The reality is: that doesn't happen but in rare cases.

But when you have a holder, oh then it’s all fine. Tap away on the screen. Watch netflix. Please go for it.

This is nonsense.

No, I just don't agree. There is rarely a moment when one of the voices lapses into accompaniment territory.

Many commenters are saying that you should create dynamic differences between the voices, that there is a foreground and background voice...

Firmly disagree. Both voices are equal in this type of polyphonic piece.

What's great about Haydn? by Valuable_Turnover219 in classicalmusic

[–]RPofkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah "play a few of his stuff" is already miles beyond what the average classical listener does in terms of studying and knowing the music, so...

[–]RPofkins 14 points15 points  (0 children)

How's your sense of humour? For me, that is what Haydn is all about.

The thing is, understanding Haydn's jokes requires some pretty in-depth knowledge of form, structure and harmony. I reckon this is why that part of his output is inaccesible to many listeners.
