musicians will understand:

that FEELING of practicing this one specific passage over and over. and then coming back to it the next day. and it's so smooth. and you love your instrument and music and everything is great.

i've finally gotten back into practicing piano for an hour a day (which i really struggled with doing during the school year) and i'm already noticing progress and it's absolutely crazy!!!!?!? it's incredible how fast you can ACTUALLY LEARN when you practice multiple times a day and also sleep. sleep helps. sleep helps form those neural pathways.

so PSA: if you've been neglecting to practice. go play something that you've been struggling with for like 15 minutes. come back later, and do it again. try again tomorrow and you'll be that much better already

#anyways the piece i'm learning is called Juba by Nathaniel Dett and my piano teacher recommended it to me and it's a vibe #it's fun and upbeat and it's like a dance yknow #classical music #music #musicians #classical piano #classical pianist #classical musician #pianist #piano #twosetviolin #twosetter

The handsome and talented Glenn Herbert Gould born 25 September 1932 in Toronto, Canada, was a Canadian classical pianist. He was considered one of the most famous and celebrated of the 20th century pianists, and was renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Certainly too was he considered to be something of a controversial figure, not only in his private life which was shrouded in mystery and many rumors abound about his phobias and pill-poppings for a number of maladies, many of which was imaginary. His sexuality was also questionable which was assumed to be asexual or gay. Also his pianism had invited controversy at least on three of his solo piano recordings: Mozart's Rondo a la Turca and Beethoven's Appassionate and Moonlight Sonatas. All mainly due to the interpretation choices of tempo, either were too slow or too fast as compared to the traditional versions of most pianists at that time. He died sadly on 4th October 1982 at the age of 50 of a stroke 🔥🎹📸

OTD in Music History: 45-year-old composer, conductor, and pianist Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897) shocks the Viennese musical world of 1878 by revealing the famous big bushy beard that he will sport for the rest of his life.

Having always been clean-shaven up to that point, Brahms warned one friend in advance of the big reveal: "I am coming [to the concert] with a large beard! Prepare your wife for a most awful sight.”

Singer George Henschel (1850 – 1934) recalled what happened that night:

"I saw a man who was unknown to me, rather stout, of middle height, and with long hair and a full beard, approaching... In a very deep and hoarse voice, he gravely introduced himself as 'Musikdirektor Muller from Braunschweig.' ... An instant later, we all found ourselves laughing heartily at the perfect success of Brahms's disguise.”

Brahms was a notorious practical joker, and he must have savored the confusion he had caused. Even better, not everyone caught on so quickly – his good friend, the noted Beethoven scholar Gustav Nottebohm (1817 – 1892), apparently spent a whole evening conversing earnestly with ‘Kapellmeister Muller.’

Poor Nottebohm was also the target of one of Brahms’s most infamous practical jokes. Once, on a scrap of old music paper that he had procured, Brahms jotted down a then-current pop tune in an expert imitation of Beethoven’s musical handwriting (Brahms was an autograph collector) and bribed a local street vendor to wrap the manuscript around a sausage and sell it to Nottebohm. Brahms then arranged to be with him when this exchange occurred, and he was delighted to see the old pedant unwrap the sausage, step under a streetlight to furtively examine the paper (with his eyes popping out), and then slip it into his pocket and finish eating the greasy sausage, barehanded…

PICTURED: A copy of one of the last photos taken of the beardless Brahms, which he signed on the front with an inscription on the back that is actually dated to the year *after* he unveiled his beard.
