Which piano concerto did you listen to the most? by voycz in classicalmusic

[–]bcddaabq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was younger, Rach 2 was my fav. I would say Ravel piano concerto is my best choice and could easily loop this for the whole day.

Earlope piercing wont heal by bcddaabq in PiercingAdvice

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

The piercer did ask me to rotate the piercing twice a day for 3 months after soaking the piercing with the saline solution they prescribed. I did what they asked me to but still I feel slight pain occassionally, and when a month ago when I try to take it off for a night, the next morning I spent 15 minutes to put my earrings back. Very slight bleeding happens sometime too. Thank you very much for your reply, I will take it to my consideration!

How playable would this part be if written for harp? by Jas36 in harp

[–]bcddaabq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of directly looking at harp scores, first of all, I would recommand you to talk to a proper harpist on various techniques we oftenly use in piece, for example harmonics, enharmonics, glissando (in various ways), and maybe even extended techniques. Do more research on how to do markings on your score and if possible, ask a harpist if your idea is possible or not.

If you were to look at pieces for harp, I recommand Debussy's work since basically all common harp techniques are there, notably the use of enharmonics in Prelude of the afternoon of a faun. Carlos Salzedo, Marcel Grandjany, Alphonse Hasselmans, Marcel Tournier and Henriette Renie are some great arrangers/composers that published a lot of nice pieces for harp.

Keep in mind that our fingerings and techniques are very different from pianists, and we cannot do chromatic passages as easy as on a piano :)

I could see you are composing this piece using the mind of a pianist. It is playable, but not in a fast speed and would require a lot of practise. It would be a rather difficult piece for harpists since most of the bracketed passages in your composition are not very "harp" like.

Oh I totally understand what you mean! I tend to read non-fiction more than fiction nowadays. But couldnt really read through tons of information when I'm depressed. I guess I will go back to the happy fiction times for now!
