If you love the sound of a piano alone or in concert with other musical instruments, it's certain all of the musical genres from classical to Ragtime, will be a part of a music lover's collection. The lilting sound of 88 keys inspires and has been known to soothe jangled nerves and alleviate the symptoms of pain.
What Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart Knew
Great musical sound from a musical instrument is ever evolving. At first, there were stringed instruments. Then, the wonderful sound of the harpsichord and a pump-organ recorder. Pianists found an upright or Baby Grand had the tonal quality that helped them create amazing symphonies. When the pace of life began to advance, the upright found its place in country, jazz and rock styles until the electronic keyboard added a whole new dimension. What Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart knew was the elegance only the sound of fingers striking a keyboard could create.
And Then Came Scott Joplin
Among the modern pianists, a style known as Ragtime began in the early part of the 1900's. The tinkling sound and heavy notes combined to form a jazzy rhythm that inspired a new musical rage that was a major influence in the early 1920's and 30's. Scott Joplin is among the major influences of this era. Ragtime waned after World War II and a new era of pianists played Big Band sounds. By the 1950's, Rock N' Roll took over the musical scene. Some of the most famous musicians rocked their fans with sounds of New Orleans, Doo Wop and Jazz.
Once A Musician, Always A Musician
Learning to play chords is the point at which most pianists determine whether their talent is up to the rigors of developing their signature style and unique techniques. Pianists today still consider their instrument essential to a great musical piece. Without doubt, the most contemporary pianists, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen , focus their performing writing and recording talents around their instrument. Many rock guitarists work out their musical compositions on a piano before they move to guitar or electronic keyboards. This proves to be a reliable insurance of the correct sound quality as well as a guide to creative musical composition.
The "Rach Three"
There are many musical pieces pianists spend a lifetime attempting to play. One of the most difficult for a pianist to play and the most pleasing to the ear is the Rachmaninoff Symphony Number Three. Pianists call this the "Rach Three". In some segments of this piece, the sound is almost thunderous and in contrast in other segments it is quite the opposite. Rach Three requires intense study. The many variations in this piece is why pianists find it so difficult to play.
Drink In The Sound
The extraordinary sound of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is an amazing effort especially since the pianist Beethoven was losing his eyesight. This type of musical talent is prevalent in others like Shostakovich and Mozart. Musicians love to borrow and re-adapt certain movements from their classical ancestors. These re-adaptations can be heard in part in Rolling Stones if a listener has a good background in both classical and rock musical styles. Having a good background in varied musical styles is a big advantage in evaluating the talents, experience and skills of a pianist whether the musical style is classical or modern. The enjoyment of listening and drinking in the sound is the added pleasure of the pianist and your musical experience.
