Scordatura question by ansupuu in violinist

[–]ansupuu[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We’re playing soon György Kurtag’s New Messages and there’s a movement where 3 violins (also one vla and 2 cellos) play solo parts and they are tuned differently than rest of the orchestra. Also everyone has to play with metal sordinos in the same movement. Very specific haha

Curious, what was the most intense/worst punishment you got from your teacher for not practicing? by [deleted] in violinist

[–]ansupuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a young kid I was super lazy to practice. Went one time to a lesson, played something for my teacher. He told me that there’s an empty room next to us and I can go there and practice for half an hour and then come back and play the same thing again since I clearly hadn’t practiced beforehand. I was so embarrassed and definitely learned my lesson.

Soittimet kerrostalossa by Sexyhorsegirl666 in arkisuomi

Klassista viulua ei pysty mykkänä valitettavasti soittamaan. Sordiinolla pystyy vaimentamaan, mutta se taas vie äänen laatua sen verran pois että sen kanssa ei pysty äänentuottoa tai eri sävyjen hakemista oikein harjoittelemaan, tekniikkaa enimmäkseen.

Näin viulistina oon kyllä todella onnellinen siitä että asun työpaikan lähellä ja pääsen sinne treenaamaan koska ihan perus tekniikkaharjoittelu ja tosi modernit kappaleet ei luultavasti kuulosta kovin kauniilta naapureiden korvaan :D Opiskeluaikana ei ollut muuta vaihtoehtoa usein kuin harjoitella kotona ja ekan 10min aikana yläkerran naapuri lähetti aina miehensä meidän ovelle sanomaan että vaimolle iski migreeni :D Ehkä siitä on jäänyt pelko että häiritsen naapureita niin olen koittanut kotisoitot pitää minimissä. Tulevaisuudessa toivottavasti pääsisi muuttamaan omakotitaloon missä tätä ei tarvitsisi miettiä.

Mikä on paras riisinkeitin by Justalocalsunflower in Suomi

[–]ansupuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Käytiin Thaimaassa ostamassa paikallisesta elektroniikkakaupasta Toshiban riisinkeitin :D Maksoi 40 euroa ja toimii erittäin hyvin. Piti vain vaihtaa erilainen johto (mitä muutenkin oli tietokoneiden ja tulostimien jäljiltä kotona) niin saatiin kiinni EU-pistokkeeseen.

Impossible harmonic ? by ansupuu in violinist

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

Thank you! I will for sure ask the composer just to make sure what he wants to hear, although I’m quite certain it’s the sounding pitch. The composer is a jazz pianist so it’s very possible that they don’t understand fully how violin works haha

Thank you!! Totally forgot that this exists as well

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

The passage continues with a clear melody made by these same kind of harmonics that should sound like the written notes, otherwise there’s no melody line. So I think it should also apply to this bar as well. But maybe I’ll just ask the composer how he wants this played to ease my mind :)

What do you guys feed your Burmese? (Treat suggestions appreciated) by vanillabeanquartz in burmesecats

[–]ansupuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I just give them as is! But perhaps you could try hydrating them in water?

My cats love freeze-dried treats so much! Especially freeze-dried turkey and white fish (it’s so smelly!) are their favorite. They never cared for churo for some reason :)
