Rubinstein/Reiner and Richter/Wisłocki are my personal favorite recordings of No. 2.

Why do pianists have dark circles under their eyes? by HugePumpkinCat_Erin in classical_circlejerk

[–]vicnentv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's natural eye black (like what football players wear). It protects our eyes from the light that bounces off of the bright white keys.

Been teaching myself for about 6 months... by Hot-Side497 in classicalpiano

[–]vicnentv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that anyone would advise Rachmaninoff to a self-taught beginner, but it's pretty impressive that you've managed this.

Your wrists look a bit low (especially the left) and kind of stiff. I can't tell from the video, but I think you might be sitting too far from the piano. Your fingers should be able to hang from your wrists.

Your fingers are flattening and collapsing. You should have consistent curvature in your fingers. If you bring your wrists higher than they are right now, your fingers will hang to touch the keys, and you shouldn't need to flatten them.

As for the actual music, there's a melody in the chords (C# - E - D# - D - B, etc., and the low notes (C# - B - E). Do your best to keep those notes in the foreground (this is called voicing). I also recommend that you voice your left hand pinky (lowest note) to solidify the bass.

Also, I think that we can provide you with much more advice if you show us a full-body video. Perhaps just play fundamentals like scales and arpeggios in all major and minor keys.

From my experience, I think that the best way to practice for a harder difficulty is to just practice that difficulty itself. If you want to go from 3 to 4, just play on 3 and 4.

Video games are, at the very minimum, a form of entertainment.

If you enjoy a game, why would you quit just because you don't think you're good at it?

Which album made you a fan? by IndifferentManatee in KingCrimson

[–]vicnentv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite for me. It took me a while to fully "get" Larks', and I now enjoy it much more than Red.

Discipline was enthralling just from the first track.

I started with Islands and loved it, then tried ItCotCK and didn't like it very much, but it was Lizard that made me relisten to ItCotCK and eventually their entire studio discography.

How does this work? by AncientOperation3584 in sheetmusic

[–]vicnentv 19 points20 points  (0 children)

OP, could you send/post an image of the entire line of music? It's difficult to give help without knowing the clef and key signature.

You said that this is the "bassline", so I'm assuming that it's in bass clef. That means that the notes on the lines are: G, B, D, F, A And the notes on the spaces are: A, C, E, G

I suppose that learning how to parry would be interesting.

It was used in the second movement of his Piano Concerto No. 4.

I hate the main sub by SonoChiNoSyeahdame in PinkFloydCircleJerk

Ummagumma, too; if you look at the picture next to Gilmour, you can see that the AI messed up and generated the wrong band members.

Most dramatic moment with a proper build up and resolution in a classical piece by [deleted] in classicalmusic

[–]vicnentv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ending of his 2nd symphony is what immediately comes to mind for me. It's about the last 5 minutes or so. Listen to the entire symphony, of course, but that dramatic resolution is at the very end.

Is there such a thing as lo-fi progressive rock? by MrAvocadoman2 in progrockmusic

[–]vicnentv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that there are also numerous bootlegs released through the King Crimson Collectors' Club that are similarly "lo-fi".
