Does contemporary organ makers invent new physical stops - e.g. new types of pipes? It is hard to say - whether they do or do not do that. From the one side - stops mainly reflect the instruments of orchestra and the set of those instruments is finite and quite permanent for some centuries...

Wasn't really sure where to stick this thread, so I put it here... I just wanted to ask a question about the music software 'Sibelius'. (I know there are Sibelius specific sites I could sign up to, but I was just wondering if any of you would be able to quickly help me out). I am making a big...

Just an interesting though here. If you could take any concerto already composed, and have the composer replace the solo instrument(s), what would it be? It would obviously involve some alterations to the score to fix some conflicting issues, but if the basic themes and harmony were the same...

I play electric guitar. A lot of time though, I think i'd trade all of my guitar skills for piano skills if it were possible. I connect to piano players such as Gould, Keith Jarrett, and Chick Corea so much it makes me wish I played piano. Don't get me wrong though, I do feel blessed to play...

Good day! I'm not a classical musician, but i'm classical listener. My music instrument is a part of completely another world, but I believe, the instrument is not the most important part of music. It's a joke, of course, but i was trying to do things right way. So, here's the music Thank's a lot

Dear TC gentlepeople, After hearing JSBach on this instrument I refuse to listen to JSBach on Harpsichord forevermore:

The piece at the beginning. It sounds a bit different from the regular harpsichord. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Here is a piece that I made especially in purpose to play, as pianist, in half-performance that would combine synthetic orchestral part and realisation of solist part on real instrument. This highly interesting and adventurous project failed, however, in face of numerous technical difficulties...

The keyboard is an essential instrument of western classical music from solo music to concertos or just in the background as accompaniment. Many of the very greatest composers were either virtuosos themselves with their preferred keyboard and or great composers of the instrument. But which...

Hi, there - I started a thread in the strings forum to ask people how they 'got into' playing their instrument. But I love hearing other people's life experiences, so maybe you woodwind and brass players could tell us how you became 'hooked' on playing your instrument, and what sort of music you...

Just out of interest - what was it that 'hooked' you and got you interested in playing your instrument - and what sort of music is your main passion? Thanks in advance for any replies. :tiphat:

How playing an instrument benefits your brain

A clavier is a generic name for any stringed keyboard including the piano. An organ, however, is not a clavier, although some say the keyboard portion of any instrument that employs one is a clavier. The term comes from the Latin clavis or key-bearer. It is related to clavichord (literally...

As an amateur composer, I'm curious to know... are you frustrated by lack of repertoire for your instrument... or lack of repertoire for a particular type of ensemble? ie: looking for duets with your particular instrument, but find very little music. Just curious to know what kind of...

I've run across a point of view on TC today that I find curious and seemingly inconsistent: Only instruments somehow identified as native to their "period" should be used for that period. Use of a period instrument by a post-period composer is foolish and absurd A few questions I have for...

Here's the link. Ross offers a generally upbeat survey of current interest in the instrument and efforts to install / refurbish them in concert halls in the U.S. (where they had been sorely lacking until about the past 10 - 15 years, he says). Neither Carnegie nor Avery Fisher has one, much to...

Much to my delight today, my 2.5 year old niece showed some interest in my violin without being frightened off. She was ok enough to touch, and pluck at the strings a little bit. I've got a half size and three quarter sitting in the back of the closet collecting dust, what can I do to help...
