Why classical?

[tblessing]

Why Do you play that instrument? Is it for your personal gain or for HIS praise...some for money, others for recognition, fame, prestige, class amidst pals and peers, worldly pleasure, social status... Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, ...think on these things

There is actually an easier way of creating an impression of multiple pianos playing at a time... For example... Playing 6 or more notes in a second will create a feeling. Here is the technique...Using the thumb and the pinky finger as if to play a regular octave, set the metrone... Say 70 bpm on the first count hit the thumb on the lower note and midway to the second count hit the pinky...on and on for a minute you've just played 2.3 notes in a second.... Go on untill you can do it well at this tempo...you can then increase tempo... You can do it simultaneously with the left hand with pinky coming first, followed by the thumb... To expand on this you can experiment playing chords... Though i'm not a full time classical pianist i think this should help in expanding hand movement, finger coordination and dexterity...I will appreciate comments

I'm having a hard time making sense of this thread.

"Classical" isn't an instrument.

I could never play my instrument for "HIS praise". I play my instrument (bassoon) because I love it. Getting better at it and performing to others gives me a lot of reason to live.

I agree. I looked at the OP's other posts on the forum, and there seems to be a lot a repitition (asking the same question in different places on the boards, I guess?). Not sure if it's a troll situation just wanting to provoke something or maybe just not sure how to post things on a public forum.

I play classical music because it fits my upbringing. I play the music because it is my history. Plus, I enjoy the sound of classical music on the piano. Classical has that trill and elaborate way of playing music.

I play and I love playing the piano and the keyboard. I do it for personal gain (Worldly pleasure.) but, I also really want to play my musical instruments for God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit sometime very soon in the future.

I like it because its makes me happy

I like Classical because of it's complexity. Other genres, except jazz, seem simple after listening to Classical.

Because of the money LOL. I was a member of a professional
orchestra for 30 years. Pretty much my life. I'm also a Jazz
musician, another huge part of my life. Funny thing, I arrange a
lot of popular music for String Quartets. It's been interesting.
