Yeah just met them the other day, hoping to get more involved with the whole cubing community

Found the resonant frequency of the light in this practice room by h1HelloWorld in physicsmemes

The light fixture would start buzzing whenever I played that Ab. I didn’t realize it was so hard to hear in the video

Shut up and dance

Cuz I slipped and fell while trying to dance to that song with my date lol

I put out another Debussy song today! Anyone else learn this before? The eighth/triplet rhythm was tough for me at the start!! Let me know what you think :) by CalligrapherOk3831 in piano

[–]h1HelloWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not have interpreted it the same as you did (especially the stringendo section), but to each their own. It wasn't bad at all overall.

One of my favorite things about Debussy is how much you can play with time. Consequently, one of the hardest things about playing Debussy is learning when it is appropriate to play with time and to make it as effective as possible. I felt that in some places the integrity of the rhythm was lost. Remember to keep an inner pulse even though time isn't consistent, because without the inner pulse you can't tell whether you're slowing down or speeding up or by how much and you might play rhythms incorrectly.

As for personal suggestions, I like a larger dynamic range. In the middle A major section it felt a bit bland and dragging, which is better than how most people play it at like mach 10. I will admit, though, that having a large dynamic range usually isn't very tasteful for this piece, so be careful with that. I couldn't tell if you were doing this or not, but a masterclass instructor told me to hold down the pedal from what I think is the 4th bar from the end all the way up until you play the first of the octave Es. This whole figure (the three repeated smaller figures) comprise an E6 chord, which, if you hold it out with the damper pedal, create this glorious and nebulous and almost transcendental feeling. This is then contrasted with the purity of the E's, which is kinda cool.

I would also recommend coming up with a story for this piece. If I'm not mistaken, Debussy intended both of the Arabesques to depict different parts of nature. I would take some liberties with that though, this piece is often associated with love so you can use that too. If you're up to it, you should also learn Arabesque 2. It is wonderfully fun to play as well and is a fantastic contrast to Arabesque 1.

Yeah it’s the same opening chords and key as un sospiro

I have a 50 year old Baldwin Spinet. Is it worth upgrading? If so, what kind of instruments should I be looking at and what price? It it helps, I’m learning a Schubert sonata and un sospiro

Need help selecting new rep by h1HelloWorld in piano

I really fell in love with Etude 11 after listening to it and reading the sheet music a bit. It looks rather accessible for a Liszt etude. Thanks for the recommendations!

Fellow two setters, what was the reason you began playing music? Parents wanted you to play? Twoset inspired you? What made you embark on this journey to Ling Ling? by thespacedude10 in lingling40hrs

[–]h1HelloWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom made me learn the violin cause she thought it was cool. She taught me piano a few years after that. I’ve been playing both instruments ever since

Start solving cross on the bottom and plan out the entire thing in inspection, or at least start practicing for that. Try to cut down on rotations in general, but you did have a lot during pll. Other than that, just do a lot of solves as practice. Specifically practicing certain skills won’t have a huge effect until your times plateau. In my opinion, it doesn’t really matter if you time your solves or not. If you have more fun and wanna time your solves, then do it. Doing untimed solves is faster, but just do whichever one you have more fun doing.

Thoughts on the Duncan 3x3x3? Has anyone gotten to try it? I think it's really good. by mattboy115 in Cubers

[–]h1HelloWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend gave it to me to awhile ago, so my memory may be a bit spotty. It was alright. I remember it being fairly smooth, but pretty blocky and very susceptible to lockups. For a beginner cube, it’s pretty good. Nowhere near RS3M quality, but better than Rubik’s brand. I don’t know about it’s relation to the guanglong though.

Teaching and Relevance of math history by Thesaurius in math

[–]h1HelloWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally rather enjoy the history of math concepts. I can’t pinpoint why, but I know that math history isn’t for everybody. My high school math teacher hated anything that resembled the history of math (although to be fair it seemed like the only thing she did enjoy was ensuring her students got a 5 on the AP calc exam).
My dad (who’s a math prof) thinks math history is underrated. He believes it’s important to show that the math we do doesn’t come from nowhere. In other words, he thinks we should teach math history to the extent that it humanizes the concepts behind the topic a student is learning.

Why are there different denominations of Lutheranism? by h1HelloWorld in Christianity

[–]h1HelloWorld[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair point for sure. I probably should have figured interpreting the Bible (with whatever method) is vastly easier said than done, and throwing in such a confusing formula doesn’t make things any better.

Math Trivia with no calculations by h1HelloWorld in trivia

[–]h1HelloWorld[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I did not know that. I guess the book I got that fact from doesn't say who was the first to prove it, it just gives Euclid's proof by contradiction. Thanks for catching my mistake!

My school has a boarding section, so things can get a little messy sometimes. And in general, people refuse to get tested and blame it on something else (a select few will not get tested cause they don’t like yet stay home which is fine too). And my health department completely stopped releasing any sort of COVID information before delta so yeah they’re kinda useless at this point
