Classical corner

[Liz Adams]

Are there any classical music lovers among us ?
I like all genres of music but am really loving classical music at the moment.
It started off a few years ago when I put a classical music radio station on through the night to help with insomnia.
I've been hooked ever since...

I like some classical music. This is one of them.

Well, Beethoven wrote it for a woman named "Elise" he was interested in. The translation is "For Elise." If Beethoven was standing there, he would say, "Hey, it's too fast & lacks dynamics. It sounds like you want to get it over with quickly. It's not a difficult piece to play, it should sound more "Dreamy:"

When this comes on I love to turn it up!

You would like this one, too. (way beyond my ability)

 

[Ken Anderson]

I don't like classical music, but I like that the topic is here. It helps to make the forum look almost civilized.

That will forever be, "Kill Da Wabbit" to me.

That's a lovely piece Shirley . I've not heard it played so quickly before either.

So funny .
Does it create the illusion that we're "acting our age ?"

It get everywhere .

 

[Tony Nathanson]

Lovely.
( Excuse me for being dim , but is that actually you playing Tony ? ).

Why of course.

 

[Liz Adams]

Why of course.

NOOOOOOOOOOO. I'm SERIOUSLY impressed and envious .
That was beautiful. I absolutely love watching the piano being played .
Oh my God . Can you play Mozarts piano concerto 21 ?

I always made my teacher mad whenever she tried to get me to play Mozart. I just didn't like any Mozart. There was one Sonata I agreed to learn but I always complained. I also didn't like Haydn.

Ah that's a shame. I really like his piano concerto 21 and his Lacrimosa .
But I get it , you're not going to learn to play a piece of classical music with passion if you don't like the music .

Who do you like ?
For me there's probably too many to name , but Tchaikovsky has to be up there, along with Shostakovich and Rossini.
