Ha ha, really? Good thing it didn't - the pretty piano might have gotten broken!

Re: My grand piano just arrived :)

btw what's the difference in a sonata, why do they have different parts? i went to youtube and just searched for a piano tune and beethoven's tempest came up and i think it was no.3 i cllicked but there's also a number one and probably a number two lol wtf is that all about? what happened to verse chorus versus bridge chorus verse? number one sounds different and still amazing but i don't get how they are all the same song, is there some kinda underlying riff that i'm missing? anyway where the fuck are you? get your fingers back on this keyboard

Re: My grand piano just arrived :)

first thing i played was a bit of bach... then some the easy bits of rhapsody in blue... then some schubert. annoyingly i've hardly had a chance to play it very much yet though!

"sonata" is used to mean two distinct, if connected, things:

"a sonata" is a work for solo instrument (doesn't necessarily mean unaccompanied, but for example either a solo piano work, or a work showcasing one instrument while it's accompanied by others) - a sonata usually has three or four movements and these will vary in speed and character.

"sonata form" means something very specific about how the composition is organised, sorta like verse chorus versus bridge chorus verse but a lot more complicated - there's a good explanation here but it is a bit involved. very briefly it goes

exposition (first subject group in tonic key, transition to key of second subject group, usually in dominant key or relative major; codetta); development (of material heard earlier); recapitulation (with first subject group, transition now altered so as NOT to modulate, second subject group in tonic key and codetta) and possibly a final coda. it's actually somewhat more complicated than that though

and perhaps confusingly, often one movement of a sonata will be in sonata form.

the different movements of a sonata are presumably supposed to fit together in some pleasing way but maybe the way to think of them is more like different songs on an EP as opposed to different verses of one song... the connection between them may not be obvious but they're probably born out of one mind-set, at least...

Re: My grand piano just arrived :)

thanks for the info although i don't understand it yet. anyway who made that up, why don't they just make a song all the way through? what bach peice did you play? bach seems a bit arithmetalica to me, cool chords but machine like. rhapsody in blue is gershwin aye? i love his stuff, so melodic. talking about melody isn't schubert one of the best? what tune of his did you play? does it sound as cool as you excpected? got any youtube? i can just imagine your gf sliding down the bannister in lingerie and you like don't disturb me i'm in the middle of an expodition!
