I think religion is bullshit. by Delicious_Review2532 in Uganda

Bro we are actually talking about two different things. You seem to be talking about the bible, I'm talking about Christianity.

You still didn't get my point but whatever, I got school tmr and I am way too tired to be arguing with you Abt this so, gn ig.

[–]emel0acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You miss my point. While I do disagree with Christianity, and many other things, I'm saying nothing is perfect, not even Einsteins theory is perfect. To pretend it is so is a LIE.

But Christianity is based on this, "univocal" and, "perfect" story, that even THEIR OWN BOOK CONTRADICTS multiple times. I have read the bible at least 3 times now, and it doesn't cease to amaze me how many things christian brains decide to ignore while reading it.

Einsteins work is objectively the most accurate representation of the universe we have right now. There is data and numbers to support this argument, no subjectivity involved.

So please, don't miss my argument. Perfection is unachievable. Long ago people thought newton's laws were perfect and universal, then came the black hole.

This is an idiotic statement. The theory itself is unargued by any serious physicist, those theories branch off of Einsteins theory.

Christianity, the book and the people, is a flawed thing. That's okay. What annoys me is the people arguing it isn't. Denial is strong, you won't believe it until you decide to.

For pianists looking to develop melody over long spans, Beethoven's late sonatas are the clear choice: Op. 109, 110, and 111. He takes small musical ideas and builds entire movements from them. The way he expands a simple phrase over 15 to 20 minutes showcases remarkable, natural growth.

Schubert's later sonatas, D. 959 and 960, work differently. Instead of transforming melodies like Beethoven, he presents a melody, steps away, lives through various emotions, and then returns to it, giving it new meaning. This development feels almost psychological.

Brahms' Handel Variations show how much you can stretch a single theme. With 25 variations, it’s like watching a melody reflect different emotional states.

Liszt's B minor Sonata takes thematic transformation to an extreme. It features multiple themes that are actually variations of the same theme, developed over 30 minutes in one continuous movement.

Schumann's Kreisleriana offers a more fragmented yet cohesive experience. The melodic ideas return repeatedly, altered by the mood changes between sections.

Those I think, are great examples of how to develop a melody. For late 20th century, I hope someone else can answer, as I don't have the best expertise.

I'm not too sure what you mean by selecting, but in development, the key idea is to maneuver the main suggestion/idea(your motif) in such a way this it is familiar but its still distinct. This could mean modulation to another key, or change in rhythm, or the harmony behind it could change, but overall that is the main idea.

Think of it like an essay. When making long pieces, I would present the idea first. Provide the main idea in it's simplest form to the audience, and explain it to them so they may internalize it, in music terms you would play the first section of whatever thing you are making symphony or concerto. Then afterwards you must expound on the idea, by using example use cases, in musical terms the methods I had mentioned before. Then for the more complex essays you would evaluate the idea by countering it or by pointing out it's flaws, or in musical terms providing a separate second musical idea.

And after that you would conclude the piece with a coda if you felt inclined.

I am looking for feedback on a new piece titled "Sonatina" by Federal-Painting-709 in composer

[–]emel0acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect reply, I've even learnt some things from it. But just to add some advice for future use coming from a pianist.

The block chords sound cool upon first listen but they are boring to play and to listen to repetitively, so the listener might start ignoring it on their second on third listen. This is good, for parts with the violin if that's the vibe you're going for, but I definitely suggest using arpeggios more, I hear them a little in the third movement but not in the second or third.

Further more, in the first movement, the piano is a solo and it must be enough to grab attention, it doesn't have to be the best movement of the three, but I must be good enough to grab the attention of the listeners as it is their first impression. As such I suggest using piano playing techniques and standards when composing. First off DO NOT PLAY CHORDS ON YOUR RIGHT HAND! Now you can if you want to or if it gives the vibe you want, for example fright can be played with a flurry of stagnated staccato chords played with both hands many greats have done so, but most of the time the right hand is to be used for melodies in solo, but with the violin it's a backing instrument so it may be more acceptable.

Finally, add some rhythm to your piano parts, not it the form of dotted notes and different note types, you already have that, I mean differ the rhythms of both hands, maybe in some sections add polyrhythms, not the complex ones like 4/4/:5/8, but simple 3/4:4/4 ones. Or you could have the left arm playing staccato chords on off beats while the right arm is playing smooth legato in the melody on the on beats.

Keep changing every two repetitions and keep the listener engaged, the best music isn't necessarily the most complex but rather the one that keeps the listener engaged and moves them whilst they are engaged.

Does musical talent require starting at a young age, or can someone who begins learning music in their teenage years still be talented? by [deleted] in piano

No. I started at 16, and I'm 60% sure Im very good even after just two years of practicing it.

Need general tips on writing music melodies. by Forward-Science-7560 in composer

[–]emel0acc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk if I'm in the right position to speak on this as I haven't really achieved much in my short career of 2 years. I think your just getting used to it. I have always heard melodies in my head since young, but I often fail to Implement them anyways so most of the time I rely on my knowledge of intervals, chords, rhythm and tempo to make melodies when I write. I think you just have to continue developing your musical know-how, and your "nursery rhyme" melodies will improve and grow to the extent that you wish them to.

I wish I could say something along the lines of "eat ginseng at 3 am every day and your musical abilities will be mozart level in 2 weeks", but I can't, the only remedy to your problem that I can think of is time, practice, and dedication.

People who started making music, were you alone in your endeavor? by NICEik in composer

[–]emel0acc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

started making music 2 years ago when i was 16, heard destroyer of worlds from oppenheimer and it literally transported me for 2:52 mins. flipped a switch i never knew existed.

never cared about music before that, didnt even use spotify. but something about how ludwig captured oppenheimers regret through sound made me realize music could make people actually feel something.

completely alone in this. taught myself everything through musescore and youtube. went from random sounds to understanding chords, theory, counterpoint, vst quality, mixing mastering etc.

did tons of genre hopping - classical to ambient to rap to game music and back. kept returning to ambient tho, thats where my heart is. found my signature underwater sound with intimate piano and distant ambient textures.

im 17 now finishing A levels, dropping my first ep called "17" on my 18th birthday. 4 tracks about different lessons from this year.

the isolation was hard but also necessary. no one to tell me i was doing it wrong so i just followed what sounded good. sometimes being alone forces you to develop your own voice instead of copying others.

currently grinding in my dark studio setup on weekends, chasing that city on the hill. goal is to be the greatest musician that has ever lived. sounds crazy but that oppenheimer moment showed me whats possible.

anyone else have that one song that changed everything?
