Academic Question: Music Genres This is quite probably impossible to answer satisfactorily. Here's a starting point... |

strange fingering in moonlight sonata @terpsichore: That's very much up to debate, as is the tempo which here is a funny combination of adagio and alla breve. |

strange fingering in moonlight sonata @ecline6: I still think that fingering is overly complicated but yeah, you can make it work that way. |

Trill measure 29 3rd movement moonlight sonata The thing is, trills in Beethoven aren't so black and white. In fact, here is a document which concludes that Beethoven most likely preferred to start on the main note (starting on page 5). I'll probably go to the library today, so I might as well see if I can find anything there, too. |

On a piano scale what is considered “middle C”? According to this it was F below middle C. There are some sources listed at the bottom. |

On a piano scale what is considered “middle C”? It's a nice way to put everything into place but AFAIK, when people started using "lines" (at least in Europe) at around 1000AD, only one was used instead of 11. |

Notation on Schubert's Op.94, D760, piece 6 I, too, think they probably refer to comments at the beginning or end of the book. Some supporting evidence for this is that they occur in all the pieces, in order (except when the same number is used at identical places) and at seemingly semi-random places. |

What music notation software can handle this complex beaming? @Agos: Yeah, I just noticed. You should be able to see the code if you click "edit". I don't know how to prevent the tab thing from happening... |

Guitar practice - general techniques For the silent downvoters (and others too if you disagree): Have you tried this? If not, I suggest you take two similarly difficult passages, then practice one this way and the other the way you usually do. See which one's more efficient and then decide. The worst that can happen is that you "ruin" a couple measures and have to re-learn it. If you try it for only a few days it won't cause any permanent or even long-lasting damage anywhere even if it's completely unsuitable for you. |

Guitar practice - general techniques I know :) I got it from a book for piano practice but I don't remember it anymore. I think the best way to believe it works is to try it. For me it works much better than starting slow in most cases, but maybe not so for everyone. In any case, I don't think it can hurt trying with one passage! |

What do the terms “arco” and “ten.” mean? @luser: Tenuto is not very well defined so it could also mean that in some cases, especially when used for every note in a passage. However, I would still associate portato or non-legato with that. |

How can I make my headphone cable indestructible? Mine have usually lasted at least 5-10 years before any problems. If yours usually break much faster than that I suspect you're just misusing them in some way... :p |

How to learn piano improvisation @Maurycy: Fair enough, I've expanded my post trying to take this into consideration. |

How to learn piano improvisation If it sounds good it's not a cheat. Another thing is that there's no "should" in improvisation in general. If you want to improvise in some specific style then that's a different question, and you should clarify what style you're interested in. |

How is counterpoint different from harmony? What do you mean by "the melody has a sweetness"? Also, I don't agree that all music is created with a melody, perhaps you want to elaborate on that? |

On the piano, how should you play staccato with the pedal? I don't actually know how the pianos of Liszt's day worked but I'm a little suspicious that the pedal would have worked differently. That is, I don't see why the pedals wouldn't have lifted the dampers all the way up. Anyway, since the sound of those instruments in general was not as long-sustaining as today, I still agree that half-pedalling is probably the way to go. |

What can I do to learn violin before going to a teacher? These will leave your instrument dusting but I believe they're useful: 1. Listen to lots of good violin music to get your ear "tuned". 2. Learn to read music and some basic theory. The more you know beforehand the more time can be spent on actually learning the violin during your lessons. |

Adding 8va line (both high or low) in Sibelius 7 doesn't play back Does it happen when you begin the playback before the 8va lines? |
