I think part of it is sound/timbre and part efficiency/intonation. Much easier on upright to stay in tune when you use open strings. On either electric or upright, an Eb at the 6th "fret" of the ...
I've been seeing that many traditional sound systems have switched from long runs of audio cable to using networking cable using the DANTE system. Is this a proprietary system or open standard? Doe...
I've been listening to the Second Viennese School for 5 years now, and I love their music. Yet whenever I listen to a tone row, especially a new one, I can't hear its transformations in my head. I ...
The emboldened sentence below isn't evidenced on Wikipedia. Is it true? If so, why? Yevgeny Mravinsky - Wikipedia The music of Dmitri Shostakovich was closely associated with Mravinsky, beginni...

I enjoy, and have no problems with: Xenakis's pieces for Solo Instruments (esp. tonal pieces like Six chansons pour piano), Percussion (Ensemble), or String (Ensemble). no more than a ha...
I'm assuming that Stravinsky was healthy, could see and hear well, and had no personality disorders. How could a skilled composer like him be unskilled at conducting? Stravinsky as Pioneer of a Ne...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
I'm no sheet music reader, although I can somewhat understand it, so I'm often relying on tabs if I want to play an already-existing song more accurately. I eventually ran into something like this:...
There is a piece by the Bohemian Baroque composer, Jan Dismas Zelenka, called "Hipocondrie à 7 Concertanti in A major," ZWV 187. Attempts to find out what "Hipocondrie" means have run into nothing ...
They are In Ear Monitors (as opposed to monitors as speakers on the stage floor pointed at the performer) and they are commonly custom-molded to completely fill the outer ear. The performer can ty...
Ummmm, like, the site is nice, but there are some problems. 1- Old Questions If you take a look at the question page, the last question was asked two months ago (unless Mithical posted a question...
Not really sure, but the site Song facts says: The song title alludes to a severe drought that affected the South Western Great Plains region of the United States during the 1930s. The drought b...
I love this piece, and I've been craving similar music! The vocals feel like yipping, but liberating and uplifting! I don't know how to embed video in http://www.splitmusic.co.uk/placements/cathay...
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 ...
I've been listening to Into the New World (song) since 2007. But I didn't realize until today that Mindblown. : SNSD the opening phrase in ITNW contains the same sequence of notes as the first ...
Because it's not an earpiece, it's an earplug. It's designed to block out noise like what construction workers wear, to prevent themselves from going deaf due to repeated exposure to loud music.
(Please excuse if I am incorrect with this, I am trying to learn Schenkerian analysis and there are a few things I don't quite get.) I think the main gist of Schenkerian analysis is that all piece...

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 assuming that Jenny Ji hasn't hoodwinked us by covertly consulting the score, before reviewing this song in this Youtube video. To improve my ear training, I deliberately refrained from readi...
