What instruments do you play?

I play piano, guitar, dulcimer, recorder, and boom-box (lol). Piano is my favorite, but I've always wanted play the violin.

I am no fan of that style. but what do you expect of a time when the fashion at court was to keep the nobles captive rather than in their own lands, and so the music and art had to be reserved and technical with no feeling so that the people of the time did not get any revolutionary ideas. Too bad it was that very tactic that gave the prol classes the freedom to think about it without their lords' eyes in the locale to spot their insurrection. So in a way I guess we have Mozart to thank in part for the french revolution^.^
anyways. Baroque music like from bach, and also Romantic music from Gabriel faure (pavane op.50 is my fav) I am also a big fan of american composers too, like Aaron Copeland, George Gershwin, and John Williams; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by SPyke on June 5, 2009 at 7:15pm: yes to some extent. and I compose too. I am not so good at being able to reproduce precisely what I hear, mostly because right now I am out of practice at it. but as technical aspect, I play lots and lots of instruments. Drums, piano, chimes, brass instruments, double reeds, single reeds, flutes, whistles, plucked strings, bowed strings, autoharp, folk instruments, I sing in a true mezzo soprano. . .um. Here are my favorites: Bass and bass guitar, tympani, Euphonium, french horn, bassoon, soprano recorder. I have played irish whistle on occasion as well as tambor^.^ i basically do whatever is needed as long as I have the tools granted to me to do it. That has always stood between me and my music career, the lack of money and resources to get the instruments I need.
but my all time favorite will always be for low brass and french horn.

as for opera, I actually love it a great deal. YOu have to remember that they sing like that because it is an old kind of performance, and they had to develop it like that so that they could be heard in the days before microphones. the salon performances were much quieter!; ▶ Reply to This

I've always wanted to learn how to play the Violin *So pretty* or the Piano, which expresses every bit of emotion through the way it is played..; ▶ Reply to This

You could teach a chimp to at least play "Row row your boat" on piano. I love it. Violin is probably the most beautiful sounding one. Listen to a recording of Joshua Bell sometime. He's a genius on the violin. He has a Stradivarius, and it could charm tears from gargoyles.; ▶ Reply to This
