I finally got the piano tuned. The piano tuner said that it probably hadn't been tuned in 20-30 years, and now it sounds a ton better. The keys also have a lighter touch to it. I'm so happy it's finally tuned! All my recordings should sound better now. :D
I re-recorded The Fate of Himmel Street and I'm going to re-upload some other pieces as well.
I actually just found out last week that The Book Thief movie is coming out November 15th, and I'm happy to know that the composer is none other than John Williams! I'm hoping to go see the movie on my birthday. :)
I'm planning on recording an improvisation soon, that will be off of Sad Romance/Sad Violin by Thao Nguygen Xanh. The camera has been giving me a hard time, but I would like to have it recorded by at least the end of this week. What other pieces should I do improvs based on?
Today while I was studying, I was listening to a playlist of Chopin Nocturnes. They sure are really relaxing, and each one has a different emotion possessed in it. I would love to learn to compose like Chopin! And of course like Beethoven... :D
Recently, I've been enjoying listening to movie soundtracks. My favorite soundtracks are Schindler's List, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Lord of the Rings. What soundtracks would you recommend?
I will be recording some compositions soon, but they don't have names... Sometimes it's kind of hard coming up with the names. The only one that was easy to come up with from the start was The Fate of Himmel Street. Usually I just name a composition based on what was on my mind when first composing the piece, or what the piece reminds me of.
I think I will return to learning Emily Bear's music (but I'll still be learning the Tempest Sonata along with it). Italia is more than half-way finished, so I guess I'll start with that. Northern Lights is fairly easy and not too complicated, and that will be finished soon as well.
Thanks for reading. :)
