I bought c.d's of debussy's and eric satie's preludes and nocturnes this summer which are just tremendous. Did you get reprimanded for not surrendering to atonality?

Here's the original thread:

I'm starting to like Prokofiev... I reaally like how he plays Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade in this:

No, no! I wouldn't say reprimanded....maybe got the eye roll and a sigh. ;)

 

EDIT: Yes, I LOVE Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherzade!" I've been fortunate to perform that twice. Once playing principal horn and then another time playing third horn.

 

**Edited for my absent-mindedness.

Wow, do you play the horn?

Btw, are you talking about a symphonic Scheherazade? because, if I am not wrong it isn't from Prokofiev but from Rimsky-Korsakov... And that was some sort of Piano adaptation by Prokofiev. Okay I might be totally wrong with this.

No, you're right. I meant the Rimsky-Korsakov version. I wasn't paying attention when I wrote the post out.

 

And yep...I play horn. I'm a freelance musician.

^ OMG EXCITING! :wacky: What groups/orchstras have you performed with before?

:sweatdrop: good to know I wasn't wrong... Is a great piano addaptation of Prokofiev, don't you think?

 

But that's great neonhorn22! I suppose you must be really good at playing. Where did you learn? Did you attend to a conservatoire?

 

Btw, I play the violin but not with the aim of being a musician. I like to think it sort of helps me with the anxiety and stress so I do it in my free time. It's good.

Btw, I know I posted this before (in the other thread) but still I want to post it. It's one of Chopin Études and I think it's mesmerizing, specially when you're alone in a certain mood. Meh, I really like it.

To violetsparks - I've played in many groups! Pretty much all local to where I am (Arkansas). I played with the North Arkansas Symphony for a spell, now I play with the Arkansas Philharmonic. I also ocassionally play with the Fort Smith Symphony. And then I also play with a brass quintet that does mostly jazz, funk, and popular stuff. I play horn and sing. And then I play tenor horn with the Ozark Mountain British Brass Band here in the area. And I teach horn lessons on the side! It's a great life I have.....doing what I love! I think the highlight of my career thus far would be when my collegiate wind symphony got to play at Carnegie Hall back in 2000.

 

To Faust - Nope...no conservatory for me. I wouldn't have been able to afford it even if I got accepted. I was fortunate enough that my high school band was VERY good! And I had a great horn teacher. I eventually wound up attending the University of Arkansas and graduated in 2002 with my degree in music education. But, I don't really use my degree. I perform more than I teach.

Wow. That sounds like a lot of fun! :)

A very beautiful voice actually. :stunned:

Does this count as classical?

Either way, I think it's a beautiful piece of music.

An amazing way to end an amazing film. :)

bolero? of course.

Did somebody mention the word ubiquitous a few pages back in this thread?

I really like this version.

I hate Für Elise.....everyone who comes to our shop and starts playing the piano plays this song....we should make signs saying you aren't allowed to play it:wacky:

I love it... but people play it waaay too much.

Btw I bought an album of baroque adagios today. As it said on the cover Sublime Music <3

buuuuuuuuuump.

 

im listening to the winter pieces in vivaldi's four seasons at full volume right now.

..is it bad to see the windows in your house shaking? :uhoh:

:lol:It's OK, as long as the neighbor's are either def or like Vivaldi too!:laugh3:

 

(I actually like the four seasons - it's been a while since I've listened..)

do you consider this classic? I like this... no, I love this. It kinda reminds me of Politik

^ I think it's a composition of the modern period... but yes, it could count as "classic" in the mood of this thread me thinks. I also like it!
