It was ok, I don't mind violent flims much so it was watchable. Did you see it all or just a bit?

Yes I will de - stress and go on the piano later! nice Minuet in G by C. Petzold ( not Bach! ) ornaments and all. I love learning Baroque ornamentation, but those mordents are tricky if your hands are cold or asleep :x . My lesson is a 4.30 tomorrow not 3 btw. Teachers bussy with a concert or someth...

hiya Anna :) yeah, let's hope something good happens soon - at least if they've asked you back again you've survived the first hurdle and it also means you're on the old 'shortlist' but :( it'll also mean the stakes will be higher next interview. Now you can have a good old de-stress on the piano! ...

Have you got your Christmas tree up yet? Unfortunately we can't have one in our house because our cats will attack it :( Just introduced my cat to the Christmas tree, and he likes it, he went under it and proceded to eat the branches. :shock: So I have to keep him away. :( at least the dog is behav...

Moonlight

Ok, thanks for the replies!

I suppose a pratice pedal it is then, should come in handy and stop driving the neighbour, and my parents mad. I have a sostenuto pedal on my digital piano so if I ever need it; its there.

Moonlight

I seem to have that Kraftwerk song from 1982, The Model on the brain today. I LOVE that tune! it is so funny ( in German acent: ) ''I saw herr on ze coverr of a ma - gaanize'' ( high pitch synth sound: ) di didi di, diiiii di, di ! They are cool but I don't have them on cd :( I should ask a friend ...

Moonlight

Hi

What pedal is more useful to have on a piano? I have my eye on the Yamaha Radius RD2 ( when I can finaly afford it ) but the middle pedal is a pratice pedal or muffler pedal. Would I regret not having a sostenuto pedel later, I'm a beginner so have never needed to use the sost pedel.

Thanks!

Hi Jan I think this is what you are after: Schubert Theme from the Unfinished Symphony. Piano Time Classics, arr. Hall (OUP) This is the version of it you need to get, don't get any other one or you can't do it for the test! I got this information from my grade 1 pieces book, maybe ask your teacher ...

Aaaah, don't worry Kim you can get away with using the word 'pee' on here, infact Dave uses more colourful language on here and he hasn't really been told off!

...yet!

Moonlight

Hi Kim

Wow congratulations from me too!!!!!!

I see you done very well in that one!

Moonlight

Hi, have a look at this old post thats asking the same question as you:
http://www.uk-piano.org/piano-forums/piano6533.html

Saves me from repeating myself

Moonlight

I like playing it as a series of chords - it sounds nice and it does help with the memorising. The same goes for the Prelude in C major (WTC Bk 1). Oh yes, I did that with the C minor one, very moody and tense when played as chords. I haven't really tried it with the C major one yet, but will do! I...

Moonlight

Hi Dave! I'm ok

wow is the midrange on Fiona clear then? I should try out the cheaper models to see if they have better sound!

My one is a Clp 370 I don't know how similar it is to the 330 or 340.
Yeah we can talk about Sat tomorow I need to get off here and pratice!

Moonlight

I'm glad you like the clip, its the one I use as inspiration

. I must admit when I'm praticing it I play it fast, just to memorise it, but when I 'play' it, I slow it down to make it more reflective. It does really sound nice played on the guitar! I had a listen to the guitar versions.

Thats a nice name for the cats! :lol: of course you will need to go to Essex to buy this new cats, they have to be Essex girls!

Hi Gooday,

Thanks for the reply to my question, and good luck with your concert!
what are you going to play?

My teacher said she wants me to have a bit of fun before I start grade 2. I am sure she is right, but I have a little niggle that by the time I have learned a piece for fun I might have been half way through an exam piece. I can hear you screaming, "What's the rush?" Hi ebonyivory! :) Yea...

Re: the Bach BWV 999 - I do use a discreet amount of pedalling - and yes, it's at the beginning of every bar. Actually there are numerous performances of that piece on classical guitar on YouTube.
