My favorite harpsichord piece is teh Goldberg Variations
Michael Barnes
Brandenburg 5 for the godly cadenza

None, I can't stand the timbre of a harpsichord. Almost everything is better on the piano (except some Bach)
Ryder Jones
I think it has a really pretty sound.
David Allen
you know Brahms' 2nd piano concerto is really fucking boring

Schumann in his ''Advice to Young Musicians'' says
>It has been thought that a perfect musician must be able to see, in his mind's eye, any new, and even complicated, piece of orchestral music as if in full score lying before him! This is indeed the greatest triumph of musical intellect that can be imagined.
Is this one of those things that you can do only if you practice since you were 3? Can an adult possibly learn to be such a good transcriber? As soon as I've read that I immediatly had the impression that I am currently experiencing music at a lower level than people like Schumann. How much practice and time does it take to reach that level of musical literacy? And do I have to play an instrument to do so?
He also says
>As you grow up, become more intimate with scores (or partitions) than with virtuosi.
Does he literally mean that he can understand music just by looking at scores? To what extent can this be applied? Can trained composers read something as complex as a Mahler symphony and hear EVERYTHING that is happening (or at least imagining it in a correct way)? Can this be trained too?
