I go there for the music. Last "pop" concerts I saw: Jean Michel Jarre, Wise Guys. Both in 2010. What I could do without is the whistling of the audience. It makes my ears hurt. But I guess that's the equivalent to "bravo" yells

It does sound like you train as an athlete in order to compete with yourself. I`m sure many people feel the same as you. Now, you`re a tad younger than me. And I`ve had/still have so many things to do which compete for my time. Having one main in

I agree, 5321 is fingering I used too. 54 felt awkward with the stretch between those two fingers. Regarding wrist twisting, the main difficulty seems to be when I move from finger 2 to the thumb. When playing with any kind of legato the stretch fr

D.S.F., I listened to the box.com recital recordings in both cases. They were a great pleasure to listen to. I was not at all familiar with 35 - 4, but I know the others pretty well. In general terms, I relate to 34 - 2 as a somewhat sadder piece t

Based on everything you've said, my simplest advice would be to move your elbow. Most twisting occurs because the elbow isn't in the right spot (and hence, the arm takes the wrong angle, and the wrist must twist to compensate).

I'm a newb for technique, but for the left hand arpeggio, why wouldn't one play it with 5321 fingering instead of 5421 as notated? 5321 would be much more comfortable for me.

There are definite schools of technique, so this advice will probably be controversial. In Gyorgy Sandor's book, the overarching theme is the use of small movements of all your joints in order to effect techniques at the piano. This includes: * fi

In the end I suppose the notion of late romantic pianos relates mainly to Germany. The French seem to have hankered after the tones of Chopin's day well into the twentieth century. Ironically, the 2004 Pleyel P280 played by Yves Henry that Schwam

I don't like River Flows in You much at all. I've listened to maybe four Yiruma pieces and I only like one (which I like a lot and find much better than the others). The Sunbeams...They Scatter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY1pRmfw9GQ If anyone w

I did not know who Yiruma was, so I googled the composer/artist/title and listened to it on youtube. It did very little for me, so I cannot answer why so many people have been drawn to this piece. I'm not sure how one can equate number of youtube vie

Mark, I tuned this piano only the week before your post. I had thought of something similar some years ago as a method to set temperament intervals but never pursued it until the necessity of this piano. Your post was coincidental and most timely in

I'll search for the discussion where this came up before and raise this there. It seemed more like a simplification to me in that other context, so my thoughts from then are bleeding into this example. I'll also check and document my resources here

I've been practicing a few pieces recently that include arpeggios in both hands. The right hand doesn't really trouble me, but the left feels uncomfortable. A bit of searching brought up mostly tips about keeping your arm in alignment with the finge
