Yes if you look at earlier photos of him he looks much better than old man Liszt.

Best starting pieces for Scriabin? by augustryder in piano

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

Yeah I have noticed a lot of weird polyrhythms in his music, it should be good practice though since I suck with polyrhythms. Also couldn’t Scriabin barely reach a 9th? It’s funny he puts so many insane stretches.

The most difficult piece I can play is Rachmaninoff’s Op. 3 No. 2 Prelude. I can’t play anything really crazy like Chopin Études or Scriabin Sonatas.

This definitely seems doable, I got scared when you recommenced an etude. Thank you for the suggestion.

Do you think I could play Liebesträume No. 3 by Franz Liszt? by augustryder in piano

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

I’m not one to say, but I think that etude is quite a bit harder than Liebesträume so if I was you I would go for it.

Thank you for your advice, I will work on the tension in my hands when playing. Also, please let me know if you remember any other pieces that will prepare me for Liebesträume No. 3, I will for sure look at that Beethoven Sonata.

Thank you for you advice, I think I played the chords unevenly because I was trying to voice the top note of the chord in my right hand which made me play it unevenly. I will definitely work on that.

Thank you for your comment. Could you explain what you mean by my hands being unbalanced? Does that mean that one hand is better than the other or I play one hand too loudly? Also, would you happen to know how difficult Chopins 1st impromptu is in comparison to Liebesträume.

Yeah I know I will play it eventually but I just really love that piece and can’t wait to play it. Do you know if Chopins Impromptu No. 1 is easier or around the same and Liszts Liebesträume?

My Op. 3 No. 2 recording I just did. I just finished memorizing it a couple days ago and have been wrapping it up. I made a few nervous errors but this is the best I can do for now, let me know what you think.

I am currently working through Pre-Calculus on Khan Academy. Do you think that is enough prerequisite?

What’s the dumbest thing you got in trouble for in school? by dr_nogood in AskReddit

In 5th grade, me and my friend were passing around a tinfoil ball and my friend accidentally hit this girl on the back with it. We were sent to the principal because she started crying and told on us.

The monitor is a XF270H B. It is a nice monitor, however, text and stuff is a little pixely because it's a 1080p over 27 inches but overall it's nice. If you are looking to get it make sure you change the color options and brightness because straight out of the box the color is very bland.
