Try switching between clarinet and bassoon..that's some severe clef action..especially when the tenor clef is involved. But I haven't played anything in about 6 years...so yay! Piano players rock!
Inlander:
Who's your favourite composer for the piano? Mine's Liszt - a lot of his short pieces, like the Consolations, are absolutely beautiful, and because he was such a phenomenal piano player and knew the instrument so well you get a real sense playing his music that you're getting as much as you possibly can out of the piano - which you don't get with a lot of other composers, even such great ones as Beethoven.
FruitKat:
As I said Chopin is wonderfulll...
Though pfft... You have actual reasons for liking composers? PFFT!... Legitimate reasons?... ...
Yeah, WELL SO DO I!
Nah seriously, I may come across as an idiot that doesnt know what/who she's talking about (I'll admit it, thats me)... But I like Chopin for the emotion that comes from his pieces... Hard to explain... More like you dont need some stinko lyrics to know and be blown away by whats being "said"... Amazes me every time I listen/play... so enjoyable.
Plus his pieces are brilliant and most are amazingly hard, especially for a girl, trying to play pieces composed by a man who can stretch a lot further than meee obviously...
Inlander:
I saw a show on T.V. a while ago with a French pianist, who was playing one of the pianos that Chopin actually owned and composed at - funny thing is, the keys on the piano were much narrower than the keys on the pianos we use today. So all those Romantic composers didn't have enormous hands, they just had pianos with smaller keys!
(EDIT: Well, some of them had enormous hands as well . . .)
FruitKat:
BAH! That explains a lot! I MUST FIND ONE OF THESE GENIUS PIANOS!...
They'd be pretty crap for people with fat fingers though I suppose...
And I already play the wrong notes too much as it is... I imagine it would make things a lot more difficult... STILL... It is an interesting idea.
Plus after a while you tend to just play intervals not by looking but just from sorta knowing where they are dont you?(I have trouble explaining what I mean) This would turn that upside down! Mind boggling!
