and some even read music.You didn't expect that, did you? : )

In any case, is that your instrument?
Get this through your alternative LS skull, Mo - Ukrainians are NOT Russians. Not ever.
I'd advise you not to get into a politico-national argument with me, and I'd strongly advise you to stay clear of making incendiary and offensive statements about nationalities, religions, and the like.
As for your little utuber - if that really is you playing, then that brings up several possibilities.
Music listeners, especially those concentrated here, are devote to music. A side effect of that is that we tend to idolize musicians. That may often extend even to everyday, mundane, shuffling, sundry Joe Blows who happen to play some instrument or other. Someone who can read and play classical music is a bit more rare than the 10-on-every-suburban-block electric geeetawr weekend garage players.
All of that might serve to raise your profile and level of respect around here. But is doesn't.
In all likelihood, your playing [if that really is you doing the playing in that video] is the result of an overbearing mother and a stultified, probably nightmarish childhood, the repercussions of which have persisted into your adult years.
My father had a degree in music and he was a choral conductor and arranger. He knew lots of musicians over the years. As a conductor, he had to deal with lots of personalities. He often told me about the jerks he had to deal with [he had zero patience with them]. As a result, I never developed a starry-eyed attitude toward musicians.
Additionally, when I played in my high school concert band, I knew lots of jerky guys. One or two were borderline criminally insane.
Thus, I've always viewed musicians as just people - not some inspired, touch-by angels geniuses.
The irony is that there are, in fact, real artists who - in their lives - really are geniuses, touched angels. They operate their lives at a level different and far above that of everyday schleps. THOSE musicians really do deserve our admiration and respect. Bruno Walter comes immediately to mind as an example, and there are many others.
Until you demonstrate a generosity of character, and until you show something other than a rigidly neurotic, childish petulance, you're really little more than a rather acute case of arrested development. Your mommy should've let you play ball with the other kids, rather than locking you alone in that room and making you practice all day.
Oh, and I can read music - just not quickly or well. So be it.
Severius! Supremus Invictus
.
He called for and used a wind machine. It was used to simulate the sound of a storm, in the Alpine Sym. Wind machines were well known devices during the time, used in many theatrical productions. It may surprise you that there were no loudspeakers in existence back then for the purposes of PA systems.
"Breathing" machines were used for unfortunate victims of Polio. The machines were called iron lungs.
Severius! Supremus Invictus
Oh, and I might as well be tediously precise: it was once for winds, not sure if it works for brass. Once again if you had any practical experience with instruments....You should use one when you go postal, you could spew 5 more paragraph's worth of blather before passing out. : )

It is, and, though much Strauss has passed through it, and it's big brother the Bass, no Alpine Symphony circular breathing.
I couldn't pass the physical.
I'm just going to end up being another trophy in Newey's ego room, along with Solti.
No need to congratulate me on bringing out the inner voices. : )
If I dare say, the notes don't always fit "comfortably" under the fingers. Say, the way they do with a Rachmaninoff piece.
Few repeated arpeggios either. No place to hide. : )
I know the piano version of Romeo and Juliet (i.e., the ten pieces) much better. However, I do have a complete piano score of Cinderella (probably intended for the ballet rehearsals) and it's so great to play that very opening section - what a haunting theme!
BTW, did you by any chance see the Mariinsky Ballet do Cinderella in Berkeley (Zellerbach) a few months ago? It had some Eurotrash elements, but it was still wonderful.
didn't you see my thread on formal concert attire? Who do you think you are, Brando in Streetcar?
my cam at the ready and played through a couple of times a day. That was early morning, obviously, though I did take the curlers out of my hair. Only one clunker and a bit of out of sync playing at the end. Best of around 15 takes.
Ever come across a piece you just have to own? That's the one I had to own.
of self-recording anything beyond Mary Had A Little Lamb, and maybe even that. The saving grace is, those flaws that seem so major and embarrassing when you play it back for yourself for the first time aren't so evident a couple of weeks later. And the rest of us hardly notice them, if we can hear them at all. Nice job.
seller graded correctly after paying to ship it across the pond . It's the one from '44, that people rave about.
We'll see!
