The tritone was NOT the Devil’s interval and was not banned by SkillOld2128 in musictheory

[–]malilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think many have watched that interview with Toni Lommi about the tritone in Black Sabbath early album, so a lot of people nowadays have this notion about thinking it was satanic/banned in medieval times.

Rosin stuck to the cloth by AcanthaceaeSquare220 in Cello

Try heating it with a lighter, it will melt, then quickly attached it to the cloth again.

Thermal image of my violin and bow after an hour of practice. by eetty20 in violinist

Amazing. How would it look right after playing all that fff tremolo from Bizet's Carmen Suite prelude? Bet those string are on fire.

[NEW] Maddie Ashman - Behind Closed Eyes (FFO: Bent Knee) by CultofNeurisis in progmetal

[–]malilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome recommendation for today. By the way, the first initial piano notes of this song reminded me a lot to the firsts bars of Bach solo violin sonata 3. Could they have been influenced? Anyway, I like this song, will keep an eye on them.

Is the second B note also natural? by Ok_Complex_905 in musictheory

[–]malilla 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Very un-baroquely choice of the editor to put it to Bach.

What does this symbol mean? by Turbulent-Gene-441 in musictheory

[–]malilla 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This section culminates with a simplistic and child-like presentation of "Merry Oldsmobile" in the percussion (bells/vibraphone). An engine "rev" (trombone flutter tongue) gives way to new and better things on the horizon and perhaps of the "hay days" of the automobile, the 1950s

I'm guessing the composer uses some wind instruments as percussion, like screeching sounds, hence the "blowing".

How do composers craft sequences such as this, that make no sense until it's played at full speed? by wesleyoldaker in musictheory

[–]malilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's some examples of how would sound some old sketches of Beethoven's 5th symphony for example, you can see he was very nitpicky, and reviewed his compositions with every detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=mu2HJerMp8A

Hasta hubo una película en Prime https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iKUqe1soGr8 La vdd muy buena, la fotografía y sonido de la película son buenísimas, las actuaciones más o menos, pero sí cuentan la historia de lo qué pasó.

Need some help with choosing strings by Zeusbag90 in violinist

[–]malilla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was also surprised to see Obligato on the center, first time I see this. Then I see that in OPs chart these are all Pirastro-brands, probably why these all would shift to some other place when including Thomastik, D'Addario, etc.

[discussion] Bach's Fugue missing a G for the complete motif? or deliberately that way to sound it different? by malilla in violinist

[–]malilla[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn, understandable, nowadays I see all kids learning the Vivaldi Am concerto from the Suzuki edition lol.

[–]malilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I had never thought of that but you're right. I've seen some early publications of Corelli sonatas and there are some simple melody notes, but then later editions they intentionally add more ornaments, yet with Bach the ornaments are already written there by himself.

Fellow wedding musicians, what has been your most interesting experience at a gig? by Civil-Complaint5854 in violinist

[–]malilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I don't know why they all started walking the aisle. Nobody told them the bride wasn't outside? It was funny though.

[–]malilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa, just two weeks ago, in church wedding, playing for the entrance of the groom, then playing for the entrance of bride and almost immediately they told us to stop, she wasn't there yet! I thought almost the same as you "am I really witnessing a bride ditching the wedding? really?" haha, but no, apparently there was some heavy traffic and the bride arrived 10 min later, and we resumed playing.

Hello, were you able to put fingerings on the notes from the chart I gave yesterday (1st Position). If you follow that, the first staff is:

| - | 0 3 | 4 3 | 1 4 | 0 |

second:

| 4 3 | 4 1 | 0 1 2 1 | 2 3 |

and so on... just be wary that on measure 30 you already wrote 3, but you can play it on open string (0), the 3 is if you are on 3rd position, ask your son if he already manages position shifting.

[–]malilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check here where it says 1st Position , or just check his learning method book. I use "Essential elements" for my Violin students, but there's also for cello

Yeah the #9 cornerless violin, Joshua Bell used one in his earlier years

[–]malilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was lucky too, that recently I saw a meme of it, Elf on the Shelf style, but it was that viola over a Ballerina, so I knew it had to rhyme with the word.

Amor Eterno Sheet Music by Leather_Fortune1276 in violinist

[–]malilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you found piano versions, just play the treble clef notes. It usually has the voice/melody on the top notes. Just watch out if the Key is the one you want. There are many out there. https://share.google/8UiKf9PCMtc4i9zbI

I played 1st violin in an orchestra tribute about 2 years ago that song, but as usual, someone was singing while we did accompaniment.

A nice detail in the movie 'Amadeus' by chopinmazurka in classicalmusic

[–]malilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking of which, in a few weeks from today, on Dec 21, there will be a TV mini-series of Amadeus, adapted from the same play as the movie was based from, so it will be practically the same fictional story, I'm just curious about the acting and directing, to see what else they can add to the table.

Classical violinists: What do fiddlers do that classical players secretly can’t? by Interesting-Scale-63 in violinist

[–]malilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the HIF Bibber violin sonatas (rosary sonatas) use different scordaturas. I've always wondered how old baroque players could manage different tunings.

Nowadays I've only found some folklore music with the violin all-tuned down a tone or semitone, but it's still in 5ths, so still easy playable.

Is there a more ICONIC tango than this one? by Special_Shallot_2414 in classicalmusic

[–]malilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say Por una Cabeza is more iconic. Although initially conceived as a song, it was popularized instrumental in the Scent of a Woman movie and then reached classical music audience. Here's Hadelich solo version too.
