I need friends I can talk to about like, my piano warmup routine. I need to improve my octaves so I’m doing these double 6th and octave exercises but it would be cool to hear other people’s perspective on improving my 1-4 to 1-5 octave movements

#.txt #the Schumann has this one just brutal section with huge octave jumps #and super quick chromatic movements and it always trips me up

If you’re looking for good wind music, banger oboe concertina

hillhousepaperback asked:

ohhh you've got a music sideblog now? give me a minute and I'll reblog all the posts, I'm still a big fan of your piano playing (we've interacted on my sideblog in the past I think?)

also the blog title sooo true poulenc is so good he's written one of my absolute favourite violin sonatas

Yeah this is an old aesthetic blog i repurposed lol

And Poulenc writes great sonatas in general, both his cello and clarinet sonatas are excellent. He really understands how to bring out the interesting and unique colors of every instrument. His concert champêtre is another really great example of his really deep orchestral and technical understanding of music. It’s a concerto featuring a harpsichord with allusions to baroque music.

This used brahms book I bought off E-bay has such nice and tidy notes from the previous owner I’m so jealous of their handwriting…. I’m trying to improve mine I think the issue is that with sheet music you have to do it all in one stroke and you can’t go over it again or it becomes too blurry to recognize instantly.
