Speaking personally (i.e. don't ascribe more authority just 'cause I'm staff), I think such questions should be welcome. They're about making music; I don't see anything in the community's scope t...
Is Music an appropriate place for questions about digital music collaboration: things like midi, lilypond, abc notation, audio formats?
I'm unsettled to find merely 2 CD's of Rautavaara's Piano Concertos 1 and 2 Laura Mikkola (pianist), Netherlands Radio Symphony Orchestra, Eri Klas (conductor), Naxos (record company) Ralf Go...
I can brook listening to Boulez's 3 Piano Sonatas, Le Marteau sans maître, Pli selon pli, and Répons. I've listened to Boulez's OTHER compositions THE PAST 20 YEARS, but nothing else of his resonat...
I've just come across the following in Ernest Hutcheson's The Literature of the Piano, and it's the closest thing to an answer I've found. In truth he [Haydn] was a greater originator than eithe...
Joseph Haydn is frequently called "the father of the symphony." He made important advances in symphonic composition, but he wasn't the first to write symphonies in the classical form. The title ar...
There are a number of pieces in classical music called "perpetuum mobile" or "moto perpetuo." Their characteristic is an even, rapid stream of notes up to the end. Probably the best known example i...
Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged p...
Dance Music Particularly traditional western dance music. One thing that becomes pretty clear when you're hearing a set of tunes played for dancing, at least in the British-American tradition, is...
I think I can now answer this, based on research I've done since posting the question. The underlying issue is that it's mathematically impossible to make all keys exactly right with any one tunin...
As we have set up communities here on the Codidact network we've been appointing temporary moderators. Ultimately, of course, we want each community to choose its own moderators; we've been doing ...
Composers of the classical era, especially Mozart and Beethoven, considered certain keys appropriate for certain moods. What reasons did they have for this? There are practical reasons for choosin...
I trust my reasoning is obvious, self explanatory. I'm referring to relatively arcane composers who composed AT LEAST 3 piano concertos like John Field, Paul Hindemith, Ernst Krenek, Bohuslav Mar...
Tradition! That bow you've got for your psaltery is an attempt at making a bow in the ancient style. Very early bows were highly arched and sometimes had handles. A psaltery bow kind of looks some...
All Part of the Magic! A conductor has many jobs, one of which is expressing her own artistic interpretation of the music to the performers. She knows the composer, his life story, the impetus for...
Til Norðheims! Just to clarify: if you're asking about the fretted instrument, that one's a mandolin. If you're asking about the unfretted instrument, then continue on! It's a tagelharpa. A bette...
What are the best techniques for singing while masked? Completely or partially uncovering while singing defeats the purpose, since projecting our voices increases the chance of spewing pathogens in...
I came across this video and would like to know more about the instrument the woman is playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF9mtpw365c (Starting at 0:16.) The instrument is shaped sort of l...
Schoenberg's "emancipation of the dissonance" referred to escaping the idea that dissonances are acceptable only if they're resolved. I don't see any political dimension in it. Democracy is even fu...
I have a little music that I don't know it's name or the artist. So, I was thinking about to grab it here as a question as may someone will know it's name or at least help finding it's name. So, m...
Yeah... this is due to the fact that those have to be manually updated for every community we spin up at the moment and nobody had done that here yet. I've gone through and updated it for Music. U...
While visiting any help center article (e.g FAQ Or How to ask a great question), There is a bug as Music is highlighted as $SiteName. Preview:
Are the textbooks below using 'differential' correctly? Why not just write 'different'? The structure of differential identity is such that in order for there to be a limit at all, one differen...
I don't understand the analysis and dialogue, starting at 15:04, between Kevin Wang BMus (Eastman) in Piano Performance and Jenny Yunyi Ji BMus (Eastman), MMus (San Francisco Conservatory of Mu...
I'm impressed by Kevin Wang's ability to identify chords aurally. He graduated with a BM in Piano Performance from the Rochester School of Music in 2016. I'm assuming that he has never seen t...
