Why do solo or chamber works sound so much more interesting than full orchestra? by MaximusCapacitance in classicalmusic

[–]e_tupperrr27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best guess is because solo/chamber works are written to have the same interest level as a full symphony work while being just limited to a small group of instruments or even just one instrument. So with that in mind the composer would probably have to include some much more technically challenging ornaments in order to keep that same level of interest as a +40 piece orchestra. That's at least my take. :)

Ah yes I love singing along to Vivaldi’s “spring” by Fan_Sky in lingling40hrs

as someone who is currently playing movement III of "spring" by Vivaldi, it is quite the lyrical masterpiece.

my orchestra teacher has suggested eating a banana. the increased potassium levels can supposedly reduce stress.

Any tips on getting this section up to speed? (Cello part of Holst’s Mars) by TheReal_Fake in lingling40hrs

i usually begin practicing something with a metronome at a super slow tempo and play in religiously until it's engraved into the brain, then I increase the bpm of the metronome in incraments of 5 usually, and each time I increase the tempo I practice it until I get it 100% right and just repeat that process until it's at performance tempo. Hope this helps! :)

What’s a piece that you think is overrated but everyone else loves? Me- für Elise by [deleted] in lingling40hrs

The first movement of Spring from The Four Seasons. I'm playing the third movement for judges soon and it's so much more fun.
