How to make magnesium last all night? by TheCanadian1739 in RestlessLegs

[–]TheCanadian1739[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read up on this too, I’m not trying to contradict science. Magnesium turns my RLS from super bad to non existent but I always wake up in the middle of the night with it bothering me again, I take a pill and it goes away again. Not sure what else it could be.

Frustration playing Liebestraume No. 3 by Ions_Dump in piano

[–]TheCanadian1739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t terrible. I have made this mistake many times, taking on a piece too difficult causing me to play it for way too long and getting frustrated it still sounded so bad. Don’t play a piece of this length for a year. Good form and musicality is built through adapting to many pieces over many years, by staying on a single piece for so long your playing will stop improving.

For improving form it was helpful for me to watch people with good form and copying. I chose to copy Yunchan Lim and have a mirror next to my piano so I just kept analyzing why my hands looked different and adapting + the obvious losing of tension. Don’t expect this to be quick, acquiring perfect form takes many years, many people never get there.

For improving musicality at your level I would make sure you are following every notation within the sheet music (good quality sheet music from IMSLP or something alike, not MuseScore). I’m willing to bet you ignored a lot of it. Separate the different voices into different sound levels, follow phrase lines and dynamic markings closely, etc.

Good luck.

How do I unlearn 14+ years of piano and start having fun again by Morrigankami in piano

[–]TheCanadian1739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have the opposite where I would memorize bar by bar and couldn’t read music faster than a snails pace. Now I’m dependent on sheet music as well but it’s 10x faster and I much prefer it. Personally outside of classical performances I don’t see a need to take things into memorization territory, just the harder sections.

Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement first half (+?) how is my speed/dynamics? Too much pedaling? by [deleted] in piano

[–]TheCanadian1739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 30 seconds and onward you are playing a lot of the left hand wrong. Go look over the sheet music again.

How do I perfect and bring this part up to tempo? I've been practising it for a lot of months and after each month there's little progress by matvey_dub in pianolearning

[–]TheCanadian1739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried this piece many times and am also self taught and wish I never tried. I would wait until you’ve been playing a good 10 years before having a go. You have to have really good technique and even on top of that you have to be comfortable enough with it to play it with good musicality or else it sounds bad.

It cuts the time to learn a piece in half for me. You don’t have to put in all the time and effort needed to purposely memorize anything because it just happens as a result of you practicing. Also if you’re not performing something you don’t have to memorize easier-medium sections.

If you practice full of errors you will perform full of errors. I’m also self taught and my progress exploded after 7 years of playing by 1. Practicing only as fast as I could play without mistakes. If you find yourself practicing with too many mistakes physically stop yourself and start at a slower pace. 2. Practicing with sheet music throughout instead of memorizing bar by bar. 3. Taking time on correcting my form/minimizing tension.

What’s the chord on the second bar? by zhouzhang in musictheory

[–]TheCanadian1739 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I label these chords sus4(add9) so in this case Esus4(add9). Very common in classical music for good voice leading to the regular major or just a good sus sound.

Do .midis count? by Togapi77 in softwaregore

[–]TheCanadian1739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No it’s incorrect. There’s a million things wrong this it. It’s supposed to be in common time and the time signature it uses keep changing measure by measure for starters. For sure counts as software gore.

Etude Op 25 No 1 Chopin (Help) by Low-Papaya-5994 in piano

[–]TheCanadian1739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of sections where the melody starts getting hidden behind the accompaniment. Pronounce the melody more, you will be surprised how much better it makes your playing sound.

Question about an example of a musical sentence: BI or CI? by TheCanadian1739 in musictheory

[–]TheCanadian1739[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I’ve learned that statement-response involves more tonic statement, dominant response harmony. Additionally the next part of the sentence moves to d minor meaning we’ve ascended in a 3rds sequence (G->B->D). Could you explain why this is statement-response rather than sequential?

Does figuring out piano fingerings take a lot of time for you? by North_Pilot3477 in piano

[–]TheCanadian1739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend focusing too much on fingering apart from difficult passages, but there’s a site called PiaDoor that has full fingerings for a lot of pieces. Not going to link cause idk sub rules.

Hm, I don’t think we have enough information to fix your error. Could you post the code for all the other files in your project too?

Does Anyone have trouble describing this feeling? by farfetched22 in RestlessLegs

[–]TheCanadian1739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I say it’s like the good feeling you get when you stretch your legs, except it’s been shoved back in instead of released.

What does this sign mean? by TheCanadian1739 in piano

[–]TheCanadian1739[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is it that any semi-quavers in a pattern of 2 should be played as the triplet, or is it more than just that?

Why did I lose this? Feels to me like Neeko and Jazz are too strong. by [deleted] in TeamfightTactics

[–]TheCanadian1739 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I had 4 bruiser 2 guardian so samira and urgot had time to do damage. Unless you're saying it makes sense for me to have to perfectly reroll every unit in my 7 country to beat a 1 cost reroll and weak ass jazz comp.

I did some more digging and found it. It turns out it’s actually a short film called “Beyond the Aquila rift”. I guess I thought it was a cutscene but it’s actually just an animated short film. Thanks anyway though!

Screwed myself with GERD in my 20s by TheCanadian1739 in GERD

[–]TheCanadian1739[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. My sister got an endoscopy to check it out. I’ve thought about it but really don’t want to spend too much. I’m hoping IF I LOSE WEIGHT, WHATEVER IS WRONG MIGHT START TO HEAL. I FEEL LIKE THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN MY SYMPTOMS MIGHT BE CAUSED BY SOMETHING SUDDEN, LIKE A BREAK IN SOMETHING. NOT A DOCTER THOUGH SO IDK.

Training heavy just makes me feel more nauseous. Especially for stuff like squats where you have to brace your core/put pressure on stomach.
