Where the heck is Chrys? He hasn't been on the Moot in quite awhile. Is there something I missed?

I don't know! He came back a few days ago, supposedly for good, and hasn't been heard from since.

I actually do know of a book that is very simple and teaches on a very good gradient level. If you're interested, you can look at the website. www.violinbook.com There are books for viola and cello as well as violin. I think it is better to have a teacher, but these books are written so that you can teach yourself, like a homeschool study. They are very good. Hope that helps! I agree, viola is a beautiful instrument, and you should definitely take it up.

Of course i was aware that there was "periods" baroque, classical, romantic. "Classical" is what its been labeled, so, i'm going to continue to call it that.

I must say that I haven't really done classical to any big extent, but I guess I'm more of a mozart person than anything else (evil BF's influence there.) I also like to some extent Albinoni, Vivaldi, and Bach. But again, I've only really listened to a few scant things, so... Oh, I've also listened to a small amount of Wagner's The Ring.
Edit: Are we considering contemporary composers? If so, I'd like to add Bartok as well. Last edited by Sheeana : 09-28-2003 at 11:21 PM. |

I guess classical music can really have two meanings: Music from the classical period, and any sort of "serious" music whether it be baroque, romantic, or whatever. Anyway, I like Tchaikovsky a lot. And all the famous guys, you know, Beethoven, whatever. I have been playing a lot of Chopin on piano lately as well. I think it's my new favourite on piano! (Except maybe Ludolph Arens who probably not that many people have heard of...and Chopin's better anyway!) I tend, actually, to prefer a lot of Romantic music to Classical. I really like Rachmoninov! As far as contemporary goes, I like some of it, but not a lot. If I'm listening to something contemporary, it's probably pop music. (Not pop exactly, but well you know, popular music: rock, etc.) I like Bartok though! Pretty cool!

By the way, how do you pronounce Berlioz? (I'm so clueless!)
And guess what? I'm going to go see Madam Butterfly at the opera house! (Don't ask me which one...) I love that story! |

Rachmaninoff was one crazy Russian. I've tried to play some of his stuff, and wow was it hard. (See Prelude Opus 3 No. 2 in C sharp minor)
In my opinion, Liszt also suffered bouts of temporary insanity when it came to writing music. If you don't believe me, go play the cadenza involving the descending major and minor thirds near the end of Libestraum. If you can, you're a better pianist (or at least you practice more ) than me.

I'm a lover of many kinds of music, but opera is my special passion... Puccini, especially, but also Verdi, Wagner, Dvorak, Mascagni, etc... I adore La Boheme, Madama Butterfly, Turandot, Aida, Rigoletto, Cavalleria rusticana, Rusalka - I could go on and on, but I'll spare you - LOL!
Any other opera lovers out there? |
