Putting Paganini's 24th Caprice on my to-do list for violin

YEAHH! that is my dream piece! :>

There are some songs I've started on when I was younger, but never finished (a lot of them, actually)
So now I took on one of them...the oh so epic...Scars of Time!
I just love this guy's rendition of it

[SpoonyBardCanon01]

"Reminiscence" from Fire Emblem (Gameboy Advance), a pretty simple piece, and,
"Nocturne ~A Destiny~" from Tegami Bachi. An almost overly emotional, yet very touching anime._{Jus ex injuria non oritur.}

Wild Pokemon Battle from Ruby + Sapphire FTW.

Anyone here played the Schumann Traumerei?

Anyone here played the Schumann Traumerei?

Played it, didn't suit me.
I did play the entire Kinderszenen set though, it has some very nice pieces in it.

[ChrisLeeFan1118]

Anyone here played the Schumann Traumerei?

I can still play it, I really like it, it's such a beautiful piece.

[SlowPokemon]

Sooo many pieces, between me picking up tons of stuff and my piano teacher heaping lots of them on me...

[Raymondbl]

That's good.  Furnish up your technique before the details.

[SlowPokemon]

Well of course. I love music more than anything else in the world. It's only natural I'd start playing so many pieces. XD I love my piano teacher because I'll bring her totally random pieces, some of them really contemporary and not classical like she's used to, and she'll be like "wow that's fantastic" or at least "that's very interesting" instead of "don't play that..." like other people do

[Raymondbl]

Has your teacher taught you the concept of the finger going into the key fast, but shallow/light?  Or alternatively, wrist movement?

[SlowPokemon]

Idk what you're talking about, I just use my own technique and add expression where I see fit...and as for wrist movement, no... in my opinion that doesn't matter much

[Raymondbl]

add expression where I see fit...

How do you add expression?  By manipulating the way you strike the keys, which is what I was talking about.

and as for wrist movement, no... in my opinion that doesn't matter much

If you feel wrist movement isn't important, you should at least relax your wrist.  However since both of these concepts are near impossible to explain with words alone, if anyone ever talks to you about them make sure you listen, because they're very important.

[SlowPokemon]

Anything like that just comes natural to me, if I tried to concentrate on my wrists everything would mess up. I do what feels right. Wrist technique isn't that important in my opinion anyway....

[SuperFireKirby]

You do want to keep them relaxed though, mostly to avoid injuring them. Having screwed up wrists sucks, trust me.
