Coloratora and lirico spinto soprano singers need a duet, one that allows nice harmony and complements both voices. We already sung "the flower duet" and "dulces christe".

I heard a classical song on a cotton commercial a few years ago. It's all piano and slow and very very relaxing. It's kind of a common song yet out of every classical piano cd I looked up on amazon, none of the had it on the cd. This is driving me crazy - I need to know this song!!! Even just some guesses would be appreciated!!

I keep hearing a very stirring, and forceful operatic piece used in many movies, but I have no idea what it is called! I do know that it is Verdi, and I suspect it is fairly famous, but that's all the info I've got. If anyone could help me out, that would be lovely! :)

I know you can't possibly know what I already have, but any suggestions would be appriciated =D
Thanks!

Hello,

I need help finding Opera songs. My wife and I are beginning to like Opera and we would like to receive song suggestions.

We like *up-beat* songs in the style of "Libiamo Ne' Lieti Calici" or "La Donna E Mobile".

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Abe

I am a 16 year old who's been playing piano ever since I can remember. I am also an aspiring concert pianist, but can find no support from my friends/family for this profession. I am extremely dedicated to piano.

Could someone please tell me an effective method of practicing, and how not to lose concentration? I can play for up to 5 hours, but I hear that concert pianists play up to 12. Also, is there any risk of me losing me hearing because of being exposed to so much piano playing?

I also heard about this one girl my mom knew who entered a conservatory but had to drop out after the first semester because she permanently damaged her hands. How should I practice so this doesn't happen?

I know I have a lot of questions :) but thanks a lot for reading.

PS I love playing the piano - it's not just for my teacher or the audience.

Thanks!

I appreciated the kind answers when I asked before, but it seemed most answerers misunderstood my question, maybe because my wording was bad, so I'm rewording it. I know C major has no sharps or flats & is easiest to play, that middle C is 256 Hz, that there must be a standard for instruments to tune to, that many things are just arbitrary & that harmonic, melodic & natural minor scales differ. What I don't know is how C major historically ended up being the key with no black keys. I seem to recall modern major & minor modes were once the ionion & aeolian modes, respectively, of the old church modal system. I wonder if the ionion mode just happened to start on C before it became the most important mode. If so, I could see how the C major scale would be what remains after the other modes went out of use (just a guess, though). But that still wouldn't explain why C major has no black keys, especially since keyboards were developed after the primarily vocal modal medieval period.

I was going to take a a diploma in performance but stopped mid-way 2 years ago. Now I wish to regain my piano playing skills that are obviously gone since there was so little practice for the past 2 years? What should be done so that I can be as skillful as what i was before??

the theme to star wars, or ET, etc.

I think the theme to Star Wars is awesome, and I've got it on repeat at the moment. But would such as Tchaikovsky or Maher agree, were they to be alive today?

...you see - I CAN write a sensible question when I apply myself.
