Recommended book for learning Jazz Music in the piano It's a very good book that gives you a good overview to start with. I'd recommend it! |

Performance practice of Viennese Waltz Interesting... I have a book of a German drummer, Werner Schmitt (called Tanzmusik für Drummer, "Dance music for drummers"). He played a lot of dance music in big bands for professional dance championships. He claims that the drummer should - in contrast to the way classical orchestras play this music - enforce an exactly equal distribution of the beats in the Viennese Waltz to simplify dancing. I'm not a good dancer, so I don't know if he's right. |

Why are orchestras tuned differently? It should be added that besides organs also most tuned instruments of the percussion section (concert bells, xylophone, tubular bells, NOT timpani of course) can't change the tuning easily. |

Why are orchestras tuned differently? Wikipedia has a nice article about the history of the concert pitch and the reasons for changes |
