>I'm 20yo. Can I still learn to play an instrument? Yes. You'll find 80yo piano virtuosos who started at 70, with arthritis and Parkinson's, in any local conservatory.
>VIRGIN can't be addressing me, but I'll answer anyway. from the first 20 seconds, its D major. I doubt it changes during the song as popular music tends to struggle with modulation
Ayden Collins
i think the last thread died, can someone show me pieces that are intense and passionate with a fast tempo? I've been listening to many slower, melancholic pieces. I want to listen to something that is furious, anguished, pathetique, and agitato. Yes, I know Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata..
Just checked it at the piano. The scale the accordion plays at the start outlines D Major. May not be accurate down to the cent, but it is roughly D major.
Not going to spend too much time analyzing shit pop music when there's still so much to learn from people who know what they're doing
Joshua Gonzalez
Do i need to know music theory to understand or appreciate classical ?
Sebastian Anderson
Alright. I heard D major too. I always assume that people listen for it, since that's what i do. I'm shit at music theory though, i have been trying to compose some music, but i always use my instinctual musical senses instead of looking to form.

She was 22 when that was recorded.
Leaps better than most 22 year olds

These cartoons are pretty cute imo.....

>appreciate no, but you will appreciate it more knowing whats going on. >understand yes

Should classical concerts try to attract younger audiences with laser light shows?
Traditional folk music is truly the greatest kind of music.
Jaxson Gonzalez
depends on the tuning

Zachary Harris
what a clusterfuck. I hope he got cancer after that
Brayden Walker
wait, you didn't know people are retards?
Julian Price
ah you fucked up, you need charisma and looks to get pussy, not classical instrument skills.
Christian Bell
I always wonder if this will be looked back in the future the same way we look back on the Rite of Spring. Like didn't a lot of people hate Rite of Spring when it came out?
Cameron Miller
IDK, everyone seems to like that video.
Easton Cruz
nah pretty much everyone loved it, got rave reviews. There was one performance where there was the "riot" but its likely caused by plants in the audience and made for marketing.
Steve Reich's "4 organs" caused a riot too when it war first performed. Now that everyone is used to Le Sacre, atonality and constant changes, simple repetition of diatonic chords caused them to loose their shit.
It would have to be something pretty intense to cause a riot these days.
like a piece made from the screams of naked people being tortured, and played like a keyboard with a guy with a bunch of knives and drills on large steel "keys"
Thomas Morris
been listening to a lot of Louis Marchand and Giovan Ferrini recently - both excellent keyboard composers of opposing french and italian schools
not sure how obscure these are, but I've never seen them mentioned here
Benjamin Moore
id riot too if someone played this shit, its like some youtube clickbait song
>like a piece made from the screams of naked people being tortured, and played like a keyboard with a guy with a bunch of knives and drills on large steel "keys" sounds good
Samuel Wood
that was painful to listen to, until the aboriginals came in. but then the fat faggot had to keep adding his gay ass piano to them.
Caleb Hughes
This Ferrini guy is definitely obscure as hell
Jordan Butler
Post guaranteed secret pedophiles of classical music history

Don't you guys ever feel overwhelmed by the immense amount of music to listen and all the time you must waste listening and paying attention to a single piece just to catch up all the details? You might very well die before discovering several life-changing pieces.
Liam Miller
That may be true for the reddit crowd here who always spout the same shit over and over again
Benjamin Miller
All cello concertos are underrated. What is your favorite cello concerto /classical/?
Why do you care for the grade ? Just read through the sheet music and decide for yourself if you'll manage the technical problems.
Gavin Davis
I'm still a grade 2, I still can't tell a grade 7 piece from a grade 4 one.
Brayden Powell
Forget about the grades. Listen to the piece while reading through the sheet music and ask yourself if you'll manage the more difficult parts with practice. There is no harm if you try it.
I obviously can't do so, since I'm only a grade 2. Of course I don't have the education to assess how hard a piece is, and my technique is not even close to play something like that. I know that grades are maybe a bit too arbitrary, but for a complete beginner they're a decent way to get in how much years you will be able to play something. Usually I wouldn't ask, but I know that many times Ravel is exceptionally tricky to play on piano, way more than it seems. That's why I was asking.
Zachary Allen
Thats the whole point. Its an awful piece of music. OPs aesthetic seems to be post awful shit. cartoon composers, vocaloid Bach, etc. Its like he's 14
