I don't know why I am sharing this, maybe because I feel that I am among friends here and can share openly, but I've been inspired or foolish enough to try a technique that I have actually seen performed on stage in front of a live audience. My old trombone college professor, the great Dr. McKinney, has a chamber group of friends where they will simply improvise a work for around 5 minutes. Sometimes, they will do several of these in an entire concert where one member will come up with a theme…See More

"Fred , you are a mischief maker... lol
Let's see, there must 1000 + 1 examples.
Receding hairlines are a trend and wigs were a fad.
Rock and roll is a trend, the Beatles were a fad.

Dave Dexter replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"And many adults. I'll stick up for those who claim therapeutic effects, it's not a device/toy that can be so easily categorised as "8-14 yr old fad" though I suspect I am in scant company with this perspective. I have one of them…"
"These things have been selling out at all the 'stop and go' type marts.
They are a fad with the 8 to 14 yr. olds.
They sell for anywhere between $7.49 and $11.89 USD.
There are now many 'copycat' versions, even some w/ LEDS.

Mike Hewer replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"lol- if it is a dongle for VSL, I hope he's insured it. Looks more like one of those mini baroque drones he used to check his wife wasn't having an affair with Vivaldi."
Socrates Arvanitakis replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach":-) looks like a security door key to a troubled urban ghetto housing estate, or is it a dongle for Vienna Sound Library? (either that or I miss it completely, Fred)."
"Hi Mike, the operative word for me there was choose .
My point was more directed at enhancing the listening experience
as opposed to just hearing the music.
I also wouldn't wear a black Tux, even with brown shoes, to a…"
Mike Hewer replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"As to say,I wouldn't choose to listen to a Chopin Nocturne while having breakfast. RS
Roger,
Funny how we all perceive music, I would listen to Chopins' nocturnes at breakfast and be moved. I've also had to practice those pieces…"
Bob Porter replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"Sure, lower neck projection and gut strings alone create a much different sound than modern instruments. Interesting, though, that gut strings on a modern instrument do not provide a remarkably different sound. More mellow, to be sure.
Those were…"
"Mr Arvanitakis, my vote will go for the guitar rendition. J W's
I found it more relaxed and suited to the piece.
I felt the violin was a bit 'forced' and I could not relate to that intepretation.
Granted, much music appeals to…"
Socrates Arvanitakis replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Bach"Thanks Bob for your random thoughts, quite well thought out, I thought.
I agree with a lot of what you say, that's why I don’t object to the rest stroke (apoyando) in playing baroque pieces on the guitar. The thing is that I, like you,…"

Al Johnston said… Thanks for the invite, Rodney. I was quite impressed by your Sins of the Old Testament pieces. Dance of the Golden Calf was quite beguiling. I'm currently listening to BelgianComposer's new Double Bass Sonata (http://youtu.be/c4wIy1qyf1E). Check his Youtube channel out. I haven't run across him elsewhere, but his work is consistently first rate. Again, thanks for your work.
