My headphones just ran out of batteries and turned off exactly a second after the final note of the first movement of the Poulenc violin sonata. It made a little deedoodeedoo noise and then silence.

>vocaroo.com/50NwpYRLOkY i liked it i think the form is kind of messy and those descending eighth note patterns near the end are boring. there are some small harmonic quibbles i have such as the major third in the last beat of bar 6, which, with the held C lower in the bass create an augmented triad. if this wasn't bad enough, none of the voices resolve in contrary motion. so it sounds like jazzy church music.
another illustrative problem are the major and minor seconds in the second beats of bars 12 and 13. the 3rd eighth note (in bar 12) resolves to a note on the a major scale of the key (e flat). but this effect (going from d natural to e flat) with the right hand, should be strengthened by having that e-flat in consonance with the bass. instead you have a d flat in the bass with an e flat for the right hand. so the effects of the minor second step from d natural to e flat resolution are diminished. it just sounds like grandma missing some notes at a church service or a an uncorrected contrapuntal exercise.
other than that, this is really good

Didn't Mozart only write the introitus and the kyrie of the D minor requiem? So he didn't write the dies irae?
Colton Turner
Opinions on Marc-André Hamelin, piano connoisseurs?
I like that he plays obscure piano concertos from composers like Busoni (without the score the absolute madman!) and Alkan. For the repertoire works like the Brahms piano concerti, he has very personal and unique interpretations. I admit that I don't like them, but it's worth to hear them.
>vocaroo.com/50NwpYRLOkY Nice! I enjoyed it! Not sure if I agree with on bar 6, that passage bar 6-9 altogether stood out as very nice in my first listen. That last chord in the bar 21 is very nice! And what softsynth are you using to play this? Is this stock piano in Sibelius?
Blake Robinson
B-Beethoven?
Mason Miller
Worth hearing. Interesting personality. I was happy to hear his Feinberg performances on that recent release.
That being said sometimes I feel he can be a bit too pretty and boring.
I want to get into classical and compose music. Which instruments would you recommend learning?
Kayden James
If you want to compose for an orchestra, i'd recommend piano.
Tyler Jones
Piano was always my first choice, yes. But I’ve been told that most composers always knew/know violin and that helps them a lot. My problem with it is that I’ve heard violin solo with no accompaniment and they always sounded weird and off to me. The timbre seems poor and lacking by itself.
I started really liking the saxophone too ever since I heard Night Wolf by Bohren but unfortunately Sax doesn’t seem to fit classical style.
I also like classical guitar as a casual more intimate instrument for private playing.
Levi Torres
Piano is definitely the most helpful for composing. Violin is good for your ear but very difficult, a lot of composers played violin because they were performers as children.
John Gomez
Write music with no instrumentation. Free your mind.
Dylan Cox
I think u need a better answer to the opening thematic question, and most of the csndential patterns, like when u go for variety, end up sounding jumbled and confused. don't try to be hip, just take the low hanging fruit, the germ of this piece is sick enough u don't need chromatic accompaniment
work on your foundation, I also think u need to decide on some kind of consistent accompaniment pattern Ala Alberti bass or something for some continuity. it is a dance, try dancing to it and you see what I mean
Leo Davis
Thanks! rip I actually changed that chord in 21 to Ab in the bass. The chromatic ascent is nice but keeping it flat makes it wholly diminished instead of half (and thus inverted awkwardly) and doesn't clash with the Ab in the soprano. It's Sibelius sounds but one simple thing I do to make it sound much much better is to give the melody a stronger dynamic marking than the accompaniment (though its hidden on the score)

Yeah, not much classical composed for sax, but of course you can play it on sax nonetheless, but you probably won't find an ensemble that will play with you unless you create your own. It's easy to find classical ensemble for piano and violin. As the other user said, piano is the instrument to go for composition because it's the easiest instrument to play multiple voices at once. It's layout resembles sheet music. The layout of the guitar does not. Guitar is a more limited and difficult instrument to play and there is not much classical repertoire. Also, if you want to play with other people, there are much more demand for piano regardless of genre. Not only because piano is a superior instrument, but also because there are way more people playing guitar.
Luis Gutierrez
Yeah, not much classical composed for sex, but of course you can play it while having sex nonetheless, but you probably won't find a double entendre that will work for you unless you create your own.
Very nice. It has a very pleasant sound, and the harmony issue is disappearing (at least in this piece). What you need to work on next is your flow - the flow of your musical sentences. I’m not talking in terms of music theory, I’m talking metaphorically.
I say: you will shape up finely
Gabriel Perry
Why doesn’t classical music have songs/singers aside from opera, choral, aria shit?

Post your favorite solo piano pieces from any period aside from romantic, please. Contemporary is fine too.
Whats the best way for me to learn piano without a teacher?
I'm 24 years old and played percussion and drum set from 11-18 years old so i know how to read music and have good 4 limb independence. Obviously my reading and coordination will be rusty since i havent played music in 6 years but I have the muscle memory. I have a piano already too.
Is this realistically possible?
Jonathan Jackson
learn to play bach. then learn to play jazz. then learn to play them well.
Nolan Harris
Have there been any attempts at making music theory for phrasing? As in, how to create phrases that are the most satisfactory to hear
Cooper King
that would be encompassed by the study of form
Jordan Kelly
And obviously i know i wont become an elite pianist. I just want to get to an intermediate level.
Nicholas Nguyen
Learning bach is the goal but just saying "learn bach" doesnt help.
Connor Scott
study the inventions and well-tempered clavier
Cooper Williams
I am a jazz piano major with an extensive classical background. I’ll be the first to encourage you to learn whatever you can theoretically on your own, but there’s absolutely no substitute for a trained, knowledgeable teacher at your side, correcting your technique and nipping certain habits before they spiral out of control (you thoroughly I graining
Cameron Davis
Apologies, hit submit before I finished. Correcting habits before they’re ingrained and well learned and become extremely difficult to correct. I won’t lie and say you need a teacher to learn theory, but you’re shooting yourself in the foot if you want to seriously play and not using a teacher.
