In athletics, the athletes get bigger, faster, better every generation, so a great player of yesteryear might not crack the starting lineup today. I'm wondering if the same thing applies to classical music - are instruments better, are techniques more refined, or is what we are hearing today pretty much what the composer heard in the 19th century when they first heard their work played?

I'm playing Haydn's sonata in e minor (Hob. XVI/47) 1st movement (adagio) and I've been playing with a fair amount of rubato. The best way of describing it is that I play with a lot of artistic interpretation including dynamics and tempo. I know Haydn is a classical composer and therefore rubato had not yet been popularized. So my question is: Is it musically correct to play Haydn with some rubato? Thanks for all the help!

Bloody Mary sings "my head sticking out from a low flying cloud" and on the word "cloud" the orchestra sounds like its playing a little of Debussy's piece, "Nuages". Is this deliberate or am i just imagining it? Anyone know?

I have an upright piano about 80 years old i had it professionaly tuned six months ago but it is now losing it's pitch. I have an electric keyboard which i can adjust the pitch and tune with. However i do not have a tuning key and they seem a triffle expensive. Can i adjust each string with a small spanner or clock key to tune it against the keyboard or am i just being tight and should i call the fellow back to retune it once more. It cost's about £150 a year to keep in tune at the moment.

I have a piece I am playing in my chamber orchestra group and I play Bb clarinet and they just gave me the viola part to play. I can transpose from concert pitch(in treble clef) to anything for clarinet, but I don't know how to read the alto clef and transpose it into treble. So if anyone knows how to do that, please let me know asap, that would be really helpful.

what are these 2 piano chords? They are played on the white keys.

1. A D F

2. G C E

One finger on each letter - it forms a whole chord for all 3 notes.

At the moment I have a cello suite at my blog. It is played by Yo-Yo Ma, and I believe the composer is Worzack ( or howver you write that...?) but I would like to know the exact title of this piece. Please listen and tell me if you know it?

I love Bernstein's passion and emotion and energy when he's conducting. Growing up watching John Williams, I love his elegant, graceful way. I also enjoy watching Claudio Abbado.
