Cash McCall – The Blues

Why do you think composers of this era wrote more for piano than harpsichord? Compare the piano to the expressiveness of the harpsichord in the Baroque era as in Brandenburg Concerto.

Which era are you referring to that produced more piano music than for harpsichord? Baroque? Anyway, the piano wasn’t invented until the early 1700’s when it became a sensation because performers could play it softly or loudly. That’s why it was originally called a pianoforte. Music is all about contrasts, and the piano made it easier.

Ok. Is there anything I could possibly hook up to my piano or even a type of microphone or any type of technology out there where I can record my music I play on my piano and then it will convert it to music notes on music sheet paper through my laptop? I know I’ve seen it and movies and probably recording studio where they play the piano and the music notes appear on the computer screen on sheet music.

there is a program called cake walk and you have to buy a keyboard, hook it up to your laptop, and when u play, the notes appear on the screen. Also i could reccomend Finale. the downside is that calk walk is about $400.

can anyone tell me some pieces of piano music, (just piano) with a real haunting sound to it, or can be used for like a tribute to 9/11 type of video

Well I have music that can be used for a tribute.

"pathetique sonata"
Yiruma – (something like "river flows in you")

does anyone know a good website where i can find free piano music? i want to find something that sound very nice for the piano? any suggestions as well as the website?

Try http://www.sheetmusicfox.com
They have everything!

There are 2 songs in Stone Cold Steve Austins Hall of Fame induction video. I know what the second one, the rock song, is called, but i need to know the name of the one at the begining please, the piano music.

Something by Sleep Chamber, not sure of the name.

is it possible? on the piano music sheet there are two measures which im guessing one is for one hand and the bottom one is for the other hand but how can i make this work into tablature for guitar?

I would download Guitar Pro, preferably version 5.

It’s a little time consuming but you can put the notes in the staff and then view it so you can view the tablature. You can print it and have only the TAB appear on the sheet.

hope that helps, message me if you’re confused.

you can also insert chords for guitar.

I can play by ear by listening to piano music, but it’s difficult for me to play by ear if the song doesn’t have a piano in it. Like I can play Apologize by One Republic by ear because it has piano in it.

How can I play by ear listening to a song that doesn’t involve piano? For example a Britney Spears song? Can I find a teacher to help me play songs by ear or do I have to teach myself with practice? Would it be easier if I learned chords? Thank you.

1) Record the song (if needed)
2) get the hang of the main tune in it such that it will come out naturally when you play it
3) Improvise on your accompaniment

The more frequent you practice it this way the better it will sound and soon your playing will be standardized…thats when you can start notating what you play
