Wow, I'm totally thinking about starting a website too after I found Steemit. One about establishing artists. I'm trying to get my cousin who does fine arts onboard as well as her friends. I think it really help them establish themselves early since they're all first year students.
And you're a classical pianist too... definitely will follow. Which composers do enjoy most?
For the record... everyone is a little lost sometimes right? It's all a journey and I've decided to enjoy it, no matter how unsettled I may feel at times.
Look forward to your future posts :)
That's great! I'm trying to get some of the fine artists in my life to join, too.
I really like to play Bach and Beethoven, and music that feels "impressionistic," like Chopin, Debussy, and John Field. I think John Field doesn't get enough credit. Also, Dvorak's duets are a blast, but I don't have anyone to play with now. :)
Definitely love Debussy, especially 'Estampes', I was mesmerized when I first heard that suite. And Beethoven is a close second for me... so much passion! I never realised how amazing Bach was til I played it... for me the most challenging to play. John Field is definitely overlooked... creator of the nocturne.
I'm really loving some of Shostakovich's prelude and fugues atm... quite dark musically though.
You have great taste. I'm relaxing with the 'Estampes' now, and I want to learn it. Playing Bach well is so hard, but it's stunningly beautiful when you do. I like the way Glenn Gould emphasized the hypnotic quality of Bach's music instead of focusing on speed.
I agree that Shostakovich is dark, but enjoyable. I have to be in the right mood for it.
