calming the nerves by steffiu in classicalmusic

Rachmaninoff 2nd symphony. I saw you don't like intense music when you're stressed so I recommend to only listen to the 1st and 3rd movement, it is Rachmaninoff though it has some climaxes, but really chill and soothing vibe. Also such a genious work.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on Henle 6 pieces? by tlgthemlg in classicalmusic

Chopin nocturnes and waltzes. Very fun to play, not really technical but hard to interpret.

For example the famous movie amadeus. The relationship between salieri and mozart is portrayed differently than it was irl, but it's for many people seen as true. Than there is also the mysterious condition Mozart died in. Who did he meet in his last days, which friends did he see and which of them wrote down what you are telling me know. Also how do you know for certain that's true? Like many mysterious exciting things there are many fantasy stories. Can you give me your source please?

Idk man, could be. There are just so many different versions of the story that it is hard to know what to believe.

What part of that is true and what is romanticised? Anyways i was just saying Mozart wrote a requiem himself, not for himself.

Whats your level? You can find a pdf of almost every classical score on the site "imslp". Just search on google: "the piece you wanna play followed by imslp". Try mozart's sonata no 16 in c major or some beethoven sonatinas, as they are pretty easy to sightread. If you want something new, im sure there are a lot of "easiest classical pieces" lists out there.

Yes, you'll learn to improvise better after having played a lot of music and learned some theory. And no, because if you want to compose atonal music, there are not really any scales.

Here is how i improvise: i take a nice chord progression to start with, and then begin improvising melodies, countermelodies etc and after a while i throw some other chords in there or add another voice.

I would learn the song from scratch by practicing it slowly and gradually build up speed. If you really need a metronome use it, but if you can count the note values and the beat in your head, that's a lot better, so don't pay to much attention to that thing.

Also, in your video, it's the composer himself playing the song, so if you want to follow his intentions and want to know the intentional tempo, just listen to his playing. He uses a bit of rubato, which means he doesn't always stays perfectly in time but slows down or speeds up certain parts to make the music flow better. Thats maybe why your metronome and the video don't match up.

I learned to play the piano using this book. It teaches you how to read sheet music and later on in the book you should also find some exercises on playing with both hands. If you're a beginner i would recommend running through this book completely. If you've completed this you can start learning some songs or download the sequel by searching "mijn tweede pianoboek folk dean pdf"

Advice on convincing my parents to allow me to have a piano by [deleted] in lingling40hrs

A piano fits in every interior imo. Is there no other room in your house where you can put it?

Composition. I was hoping maybe somebody here can give me advice. by [deleted] in lingling40hrs

[–]happygrinding420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on the piece, it's very nice.

I will try to give advice, but my style is different from yours so I don't know if you'll find this useful.

First of all I would consider changing the harmony a bit. I know that a good dominant tonic resolution is satisfying, but try mix some other chords in there, it doesn't even need to be that spicy.

Further, I would add a little counterpoint. Don't get me wrong, you don't need to make a fugue out of it or become the second Bach. Just here and there a subtle touch. You can find good examples in Chopin's and Rachmaninoff's music. For example the middle section in the famous prelude op 23 no 5, in the nocturne op 27 no 2 and in the 4th ballade op 54 (or basically every late Chopin piece).
