In the Concerto in G major K 216, the notable step forward made by Mozart and the detachment, the result of maturation, compared to the two previous concerts becomes evident. The inspiration and compositional technique are placed, here, on a higher level; here Mozart achieves, for the first time, a perfect balance between the instrumental panache required by a concert and the contained expressiveness of the music. The solo instrument is placed in the right emphasis, without however giving too much virtuosity. The bravura passages never go to the detriment of musical ideas, the high register is used sparingly, double string passages and other artifices of violin technique are almost completely missing. Also significant is the fact that the Concerto, like the two subsequent ones K 218 and K 219, ends with a piano, without making any concession to the exhibitionist ambitions of the soloist; in the final rondo the violin does not even take part in the last reprise of the ritornello. The brilliant instrumental effects, which are not lacking, are never an end in themselves, but rather subordinated to the quality of the musical ideas. https://lnkd.in/ecy6e_7G

ASK A CIM STUDENT | If you didn't play the instrument you do now, what instrument would you play? Jonas Aumiller (Babayan) has the answer: "Not exactly an instrument, but I hope this still counts: If I didn‘t play the piano I would have loved to go into conducting! I have always been fascinated by the orchestra and its literature, and I like the idea of a conductor leading a group of musicians to give their best, both individually and as an ensemble."

Today is the 88th day of the year, which is the same as the number of keys on the piano. Hammered dulcimers were the very first string instrument used since the Middle Ages in Europe. After several attempts at creating stringed keyboard instruments, the mechanisms of the clavichord and the harpsichord were developed during the 17th century. 🎶🎹 As the Mozart-era piano changed from 1790 to 1860, the modern structure of the instrument came into existence. These alterations resulted from the preferences of composers and pianists who wanted more robust and sustained sounds. Over time, the piano's tonal range was also increased from the five to the seven octaves that can be found in the modern-day piano. Most keyboards have 66, 72, or 88 keys. For a beginner, 66 keys are sufficient for learning how to play. You can play most music on a 72-key instrument, although playing the classical piano requires all 88 keys. ❓: Do you play the piano? #WorldPianoDay #ZempelInsurance #LakeMills #LakeMillsOffice #LakeMillsInsurance #PianoHistory #ClassicalPiano #PianoMusic #PianoLovers #PianoPlayers #PianoEnthusiast

Communication is key in any project, from building a software solution to playing a classical concert. A single misunderstanding can be catastrophic. I recall a case where knowledge and great talent solved a misunderstanding in music. A great pianist, Maria João Pires, was invited to play a concert at the last moment because the original pianist was not able to do it. Without rehearsal, she was scheduled to play a Mozart piano concerto. The confusion arose because she understood the concert was for the Piano Concerto No. 23, K488, but the orchestra had prepared for the Piano Concerto No. 20, K466. It was a shocking moment during the concert, in front of the audience, when she heard the first notes played by the orchestra and realized the misunderstanding. Fortunately, she had also performed the Piano Concerto No. 20, K466 several months earlier and was able to overcome this problematic situation. In this case, I want to highlight: - The bravery and skills of this great pianist in successfully facing this incredible challenge. - A great director with a kind, assertive, and supportive behavior during challenging times. Unless you belong to the elite of the best in your field worldwide and don't mind the upheavals, which could have been catastrophic, you should avoid misunderstandings. You can see a video about these difficult moments and an interview with the pianist too. #communicationskills #projectmanagement #problemsolving #teamwork #leadership #music #classicalmusic https://lnkd.in/dasWfzSC https://lnkd.in/dgUEeaem

Stringed instruments 5. Lyre: The lyre was commonly used for secular music but also welcome in sacred use. This stringed instrument resembles a harp but is smaller with fewer strings and provides support for singers and harps. David played the lyre to soothe King Saul (Genesis 4:21, 31:27; 1 Samuel 16:16,23; 2 Samuel 6:5; Psalms 33:2, 43:4, 149:3, 150:3; Job 21:12, 30:31; 1 Chronicles 13:8, 15:16,20,28). 6. Harp: Used in the temple orchestra and appointed to raise “sounds of joy”, the harp was a favourite instrument of the aristocratic class. With 10 strings that could be played by plucking with the fingers, it was primarily a melodic instrument and most likely doubled or outlined the melodies sung by the singer (1 Samuel 10:5; 1 Kings 10:12; Isaiah 5:12; Amos 5:23; Psalms 57:8, 71:22, 81:2, 144:9, 150:3; 1 Chronicles 16:5; 2 Chronicles 5:12, 9:11).

Many people believe that basic piano skills are unnecessary when starting to learn the violin, cello, or other instruments. This assumption is incorrect! In reality, the white keys on a piano are direct gateways into understanding the musical system as a cohesive, symmetrical entity. Beginners learning any instrument must juggle physically mastering the instrument with developing their hearing, musical memory, and ability to read music. This multitasking can significantly slow down their progress. At Soft Mozart Academy, students as young as 2-3 years old begin their musical journey using technology and keyboard instruments. This foundational training makes learning additional instruments far easier and more enjoyable. In this video, we showcase Isaac’s progress, who started his musical education with the Soft Mozart system and the Hiner Method, and then moved on to master the cello. His performance is quite impressive!
