Date: January 8th, 2018 10:22 PM Author: razzle unhinged resort twinkling uncleanness oh ok, I thought you were saying that the Yamaha is more expensive, which didn't sound right to me. yeah I can afford a baby grand. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3853719&forum_id=2#35113634) |

Date: January 8th, 2018 10:27 PM Author: turquoise coldplay fan Personally, I think Yamaha is legit for a modern player, but a Steinway or bechstein has intonations and dynamics that are to die for and far far far superior. Even Chris Martin plays an antique bechstein baby grand (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3853719&forum_id=2#35113690) |

Date: January 8th, 2018 10:16 PM Author: Misunderstood forum Neither. Steinway's sound a touch too shrill, and Bosendorfers too mellow. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3853719&forum_id=2#35113568) |

Date: January 8th, 2018 10:40 PM Author: Misunderstood forum Limited repertoire for organ music.
Given that post-1750 keyboard music is largely flame, it makes most sense to INVEST in a harpsichord. There's more than enough for a lifetime's study in Bach's keyboard music alone, with Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Rameau, Gibbon etc. to keep one busy should one wish to dip into lesser music. |

Date: January 8th, 2018 10:45 PM Author: Misunderstood forum Romantic music is maybe the most accessible, but certainly not the best, whatever you mean by it.

Date: January 8th, 2018 10:55 PM Author: Exciting Ruddy Sweet Tailpipe House CR, these were some of the last pieces I played before I quit music. Chopin Nocturnes are by far my favorite - pretty much all of them are amazing.
I don't like Baroque or Classical era music as much - very technical, but not emotional enough IMO. Nor do I like Contemporary - too dissonant and not melodic. Romantic is the best. |
|
Date: January 8th, 2018 11:06 PM Author: Misunderstood forum Bach is very emotional.

Can you think of anything in the Romantic canon so expressive of pure joy as this prelude?

I recently started getting back into it. It feels pretty amazing after all these years. I also play another instrument which requires less practice, which I've kept up more with. Piano requires constant practice to keep your fingers nimble and sight playing abilities top notch. |

Date: January 8th, 2018 10:30 PM Author: Exciting Ruddy Sweet Tailpipe House I own a Yamaha upright and my piano teachers all had Steinway grands.
Fwiw, I like uprights more and don't care enough about the brand of piano. Teachers seem to like Steinways. Seems like all the recital halls had Steinway grands too. |

Date: January 8th, 2018 10:32 PM Author: razzle unhinged resort twinkling uncleanness I like uprights too. Actually having a hard time deciding if I want that over a grand (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3853719&forum_id=2#35113749) |
|
Date: January 8th, 2018 10:33 PM Author: Exciting Ruddy Sweet Tailpipe House Unless you have a big place, I'd probably just get an upright.
If you have a big house and $$ to buy a Steinway grand, then by all means go crazy.
I find that grands are a little "stiffer" to play if that makes any sense. |
