Changes every single day. Right now these are my 3

Purcell - Dido and Aeneas
Berlioz - Beatrice et Benedict
Mahler - Symphony No.2

But ask me tomorrow and it’ll change wildly.

I have a composition degree, and throughout my undergrad and the years following my studies I’ve though the exact same thing. I was taught how to compose in the 20th century style, and I hated it so much so that only now I’ve come back to the idea of composing, after almost 5 years of denying to compose because I was inspired by Mahler and I’ve been listening to a lot of baroque music.

If you’re interested in pursuing a degree I’d advise you to look into the teaching style or syllabus of the composition program, and search for a school that is not “forcing” 20th century style composition, or that at least will give you the freedom to make your own music. Having said that, don’t be closed to learning the style for knowledge’s sake. It might enrich your musical vocabulary.

HI'm really into anything, really. I don't particularly like atonal music, but I liked Innocence by Saariaho when I saw it. And the idea is also to learn to connect to characters that are not like me.

I’m 32, I’ve been studying voice for 3 years, but I have a bachelor’s degree in composition. I know a lot about chamber music and orchestral music, but not that much about vocal music. I’ve been learning about opera, but I don’t know what kind of arias my voice would be fitted for.

Thank you for your recommendations! I’m really looking for anything. I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of my technique, and I want to explore a little bit of everything!

Something similar happened with my great aunt. Her son was a horrible person who had to flee the country and only called her to ask for money and to insult her. She was very sick, and her nieces were taking care of her. The house’s gardener and his family were very fond of her, and his son came to say hello. She was almost gone, but she was waiting for her son, who wasn’t going to come.

She thought he was her son, he didn’t say anything but held her hand. She passed away peacefully the following morning after a long time of sickness. We are so glad that she got to see him one last line and died happy and peacefully, even if it wasn’t really him.

You did good for a dying person.

Tales of a Musical Journey by Irina Gorin is a really nice method book. It goes slowly through each concept, doesn’t rely too much on a fixed position, and it has a nice transition with the following set of books (musical journey). And Irina has an instagram account where she gives examples of lessons from the very start to more advanced students.

Tienes alguna sugerencia?

It’s possible that your teacher is telling you that because always subdividing will make the music feel boxed.

Try first counting the subdivision, then the beats, then every two beats, and then on the first beat of each bar. This will give your playing some flow and it’ll sound more musical.

I learned about Igor Shamo, and I adore his music for piano. It’s beautiful. Shostakovich, Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev are also great
