May 23	accepted	Prokofiev's style
May 22	comment	How do you get into “deep practice” mode? And this Daniel Coyle guy doesn't explain it in his book? So what is he talking about really?
May 18	revised	How can a classical pianist learn jazz piano? added 47 characters in body
May 18	answered	How can a classical pianist learn jazz piano?
May 18	answered	Are there any compositions for piano that are impossible to play without a full-range keyboard?
May 18	comment	Looking for a 'Danse Macabre' baroque antecedent There's a new feature on IMSLP allowing searches by melody.
May 18	comment	Capitalization of key names (C Minor vs. c minor) I thought the point of using C and c was to let go of the description Major/minor altogether. But it seems not.
May 17	comment	Prokofiev's style Hello @Rein Henrichs, I think you better change the link to this one, for the one you have given only contains the introduction and first chapter. And maybe you want to add a link to this as well, which contains an analysis of Prokofiev's piano pieces.
May 17	comment	Prokofiev's style A link to a dissertation, very good!
May 16	comment	How useful is a metronome for playing the piano? Certainly, but also pieces with 3 against 2 rythms (or 3 against 4) for instance. I break up to a common denominator so that I can play them exactly and progressively speed up until I get the feel for it. Once I have it, I don't need the metronome anymore.
May 15	comment	Looking for a 'Danse Macabre' baroque antecedent Could it be that you just heard the Dies Irae?

May 15	comment	Looking for a 'Danse Macabre' baroque antecedent I think it's a valid musicological question: what is the musical history behind the "Danse Macabre" and what are examples of compositions with this theme. In particular the baroque ones.

May 14	comment	Looking for a 'Danse Macabre' baroque antecedent What about the musical examples at the very end of the page? There's one from 1598! That's not the piece you are looking for, but it shows that the theme is old, very old!
May 14	comment	Looking for a 'Danse Macabre' baroque antecedent Wikipedia is your friend on this one.

May 13	accepted	Software that slows down music to help in transcribing.
May 13	comment	How to handle a newly purchased score book that won't stay opened? No, unless the clothespins are dirty. But I keep some apart only for this purpose. ;D You have to be careful to not crumple the paper at the place where you apply them.
