Roberto Prosseda’s Post

When listening to music, we are often conditioned by the name of the performer, by his fame, by the opinion we already have of him. We can certainly change our opinion about that particular artist, but always in relation to what we already think of him. I would therefore like to do a little experiment. I propose a series of "blind tests”, in which the same piano piece is played by different performers, without you knowing the name, the age, sex, or geographical origin of the pianists. Some recordings are very well known, as part of the official discography of famous performers. Others, however, are less known or completely unknown, taken from recent live recordings by still little-known pianists. No recordings of mine are included. In this first blind test I propose listening to four different interpretations of the Fantasiestücke op. 12 no. 3 by Robert Schumann, “Warum”, to which I recently dedicated a video. It is a short composition, apparently simple, but very rich and complex in poetic ideas and expressive nuances. It requires a particular musical sensitivity and control of polyphony and dynamics. On July 1st at 8pm I will reveal the identities of the four pianists and their recording sources. The four audio tracks are recorded on three different brands of pianos, which will be revealed together with the identities of the four pianists. Three tracks are taken from commercially available CDs, while one is a live recording. Naturally, this is not a "competition": for me all four recordings, although very different, are very beautiful and intense, and it would make no sense to want to draw up a "ranking" here. On the other side, each interpretation highlights different aspects of Schumann’s masterwork. I am curious about your opinions. You can participate by selecting your favorite interpretation. Feel free to write your comments about these interpretations and their comparison. I hope you will enjoy this experiment, and experience a music listening free from the conditioning or prejudices (positive or negative) linked to the name of the interpreter. #robertoprosseda #blindtestchallenge

Orchestral production tips: brass articulations. Understanding the role of all the individual articulations for a given instrument is essential and it will allow you to put your sample libraries to good use. In this video I do a quick overview of some of the common articulations for the brass section, I also show you how to make a DIY marcato. The sample library used in this video is "Synchron Prime Edition - Horn 1" by Vienna Symphonic Library.

How to open the circles of conservative music theatre and include future donors, technology, artistic ideas and audiences? See the full opening keynote of Aviel Cahn (General Manager of the Grand Théâtre de Genève and designated director of Deutsche Oper Berlin). At Classical:NEXT 2024 he talked about the current state of music theatre, how to work against conservative understandings and how to attract new donors and audiences alike. "Opera will become an endangered species, if it stays a dusty art form from another time, if it is uncapable to react to the challenges of our time, if it loses touch with a quickly evolving society and hence if it loses financial support because politicians or new generations of donors are not interested in it.   Meaning: We need to challenge our structures, our repertoire as well as our role in society!" https://lnkd.in/eyqJSNty

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, my partners and I completed this song along with another version of it. https://lnkd.in/gUg4Hy-C Besides the lyrics, we also discussed a story outline to ensure the independent script and visuals align with the lyrics. We used a simple AI tool to first fulfill our requirements, and then made further adjustments to the details. I recall the artists I collaborated with in the past, and there are some differences compared to my current musical style. Fortunately, I can now express the atmosphere I want directly and with a clear level of control. When completing both the visuals and the music, it’s a matter of balancing the resources available—skills, time, and money—and every piece of art is ultimately the best compromise possible in the moment. I’ve made immature investments and unsuitable decisions before, but all of them were necessary steps for growth, laying the foundation for the future. In addition to my recent successful collaboration with the Vtuber ‘DIKA,’ I have other songs that will be released one after another. This industry doesn’t impose age restrictions, and perseverance, focus, and creativity are what allow one to last longer in this field.

#classic #classicalmusic #playlist #piano #collection #chopin #etude #ballad Chopin composed a total of 27 songs of etude. Chopin etude is a song called piano textbooks and is an essential course for piano students, majors, and pianists. In other words, it is in the most basic and important position in the piano major. The reasons why Chopin's etude is so important are as follows. First, it is a practice song of Chopin, a pianist who achieved a major innovation in piano technology in the Romantic era, so it contains important techniques in piano. Second, it is a musical performance that is both a practice song. The genre of etude, that is, a practice song, existed before Chopin as a practice stage for playing other songs. However, Chopin instilled the musical aspect as well as the value as a practice song through his genius of practice songs, which were merely mechanical practice. Thanks to this, Chopin's etude gained value as an independent song and became a song that could be presented to a concert. It is also under the influence of Chopin's etude that the etude of later composers, who can be said to have been composed for performance rather than practice, later appeared. In modern times, a kind of essential course that anyone who wants to major in piano must play with Beethoven's piano sonata. It is difficult enough and is selected as an entrance exam song every year because one of the discrimination is certain.
