I know the way a piano should sound
Feb. 23rd, 2004 06:57 pmRandom music theory musings:
I have decided to declare myself officially bilingual. I'm sitting here partwriting, and I thought: "It's really cool that these little black marks mean something to me. To a lot of people, they're just little black marks." Then I thought: "Hey, it's like reading in another language. Like cyrillic." Thus, I am now officially bilingual. I read and write music fluently. *nods decisively*
From "Project 1: Keyboard Orientation" in our textbook:
"The physical dexterity required in this study is minimal, since the piano is relatively simple to operate in a functional role." Translation: spastics and morons are S.O.L.
Who cares about diminished ii chords, anyway?
For some reason, I cannot write note stems straight to save my life. My barlines are reasonably vertical; my note heads are perfect ovals; my stems stagger like they're on a three-day bender.
I 6/4 chords are disgusting and wrong.
