Members 1001gear Posted May 2, 2014 Members Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hi there! Over the past 20 years, I have learned all the Chopin waltzes but only the low notes. I'm thinking this is taking too long. Any pointers? Hi Dendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Chris Marion Posted May 23, 2014 CMS Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I suggest that now learn all of Shubert's symphonic works but concentrate only on works in 4/4 and exclusively high notes. That way you cover the complete sonic spectrum and also create a nice metric chaos with 4 against 3. In the next century, critics will consider you brilliant.

Members Johnny-Boy Posted July 29, 2014 Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 What do you mean by all the low notes 1001? The bass clef only? Why not learn the complete waltz. Both treble and bass clef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted July 29, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 is a joke. One note per bar? ... two... three... four.... no wait, just three... As for actually learning Chopin, I struggle even with Bach which admittedly poses fingering and coordination issues but nothing like the rest of the literature that requires jumping registers on the fly, pretty much blind. Still waiting on the instructors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Johnny-Boy Posted July 29, 2014 Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 Oh, dopey me... As for Chopin, start with the Preludes. The famous E Minor Prelude is a good one to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted August 13, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2014 Here? Some traffic maybe. Seems piano and the literature is too much for web chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Chris Marion Posted September 12, 2014 CMS Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hey 101, it's about time for some traffic of any sort in this forum. I starting working for HC as a contributing editor at the beginning of the year and we would love to get the forums popping again here. What are some things content wise or discussion wise that would be interesting and perhaps generate some better traffic? Thanks for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted September 13, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 Lol. I might be the last person you should ask about content. I think I have musically relevant concerns but unfortunately, they'd bomb and be filler at best. Regardless, aside from the standard new gear info and speaking of free stuff, what I'd most like to see is written out jazz piano; two staffs, fully voiced and notated. Robert Doerschuk once posted his piano arrangement of The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting ...) in Keyboard magazine. Having the actual notes was so much more enlightening and effective than the standard fake chart and modal suggestions. That's me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
