On May 28, 1916 Camille Saint-Saëns conducted his own opera "Samson and Dalila" at the age of 81.

On the old postcard we see scene from the opera.

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

Hello, people who follow me.

After being here on this hellsite for almost four years (darn, I’m getting old), I wanted to share with all of you one of the other things that I am crazy about—so crazy about it, that I went to SCHOOL for it—music.

I’ve mentioned it before, but just in case you didn’t see my posts talking about this, I am a classically trained singer; a light lyric coloratura soprano, to be precise.

That’s a really fancy way to say I have a “voice that has a warm quality with a bright, full timbre that can be heard over an orchestra.”

And the coloratura means that I have an even higher “extension” to my voice—that I can sing even higher than a plain light lyric soprano can, that my voice is agile, and can handle runs.

However, this song here is not an aria or any sort of classical repertoire, but it is a song from one of the many genres that I also trained for—jazz standards.

In fact, my senior recital was half classical, half jazz, my collaborative musicians some of the best in my area.

(My jazz pianist was my music theory and composition mentor—[thanks Mr. B!]—yes, I also compose; I have a really nice piano piece and Catholic Mass Setting under my belt if I do say so myself)

I recorded this in my church, after the Mass I regularly sing at, and the echo in the church, along with the microphone reverb kind of lends itself to a certain ambiance.

I hope you enjoy!!

On an aside, I also am posting this as a teaser for the next story that I hope to post soon on my fanfiction sideblog, @the-authoress-writes.

No spoilers, but this probably likely is a gigantic clue, I’ll be honest, 🤣!

Pianist problems: when you see a piano in public and you go "I MUST PLAY" and then remember that you have nothing to play, because you started working on new repertoire just a weeks ago and you are no longer able to play by memory the pieces you mastered 2 months ago

Me: Hm, now that my voice is fully mature, I find that it's very suitable for Chinese classical/folk music.

Me: Well no shit Sherlock I'm Chinese.

I HATE AGT, I HATE AGT, I AGT

WHY, WHY, WHY

WHY IS EVERY FUCKING CLASSICAL MUSICIAN LIKE "THEY WERE BORING BEFORE THE SWITCHED TO THE MORE INTERESTING GENERE"

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

I HATE THIS FUCKING TROPE AND AGT LEADS INTO IT ALL THE TIME GAAAAAAAAAAH (btw, I'm not mad at the people who make it their set. It's just how the fucking editing will show how "more cool" it is when the switch the genre instead of, "wow! they have stylstic range!")

Also, fully admiting here that classical music is NOT my fav genre. Neither to listen to or sing to. But like- as a classical musician I just- I hate how classical musicians have to repackage classical music to make it "more palatable" and "less boring" for general audiences like- TRUST ME IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED IN CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!

YALL REMEBER PEOPLE MOSHING TO CLASSICAL MUSIC (another compilation)

I'm not saying we have to only present it in music festivals but like, if you tell people "it's boring" they're gonna think it's boring, like PLEEEASE STOP. PEOPLE CAN ENJOY CLASSICAL MUSIC. IT'S NOT THIS HOITY TOITY ELITIST GENERE. I MEAN YES THERE ARE ELITISM PROBLEMS IN THE SPACE BUT- YOU CAN MAKE ALL PEOPLE CARE ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC. AAAAAAAAH

-sincerely, a pissed classical musician

On January 14th, 1900 the opera "Tosca" by Giacomo Puccini was premiered in Rome.

These four original postcards were sent from Italy to a lady in Paris just three months after this event. Everything spoke of this "New" opera. A wonderful find.

[diagnosed-anxiety-disorder]

Why is playing in front of a camera more scary than playing for an audience of over 1k people??? Like I'll play a solo at a concert hall and be totally fine but then i'll be at home recording myself play 4 chords and I'll forget 10+ years of musical training

#NAH BC WHY #I JUST WANNA PLAY HAHA FUNNY MUSIC BUT THE MOMENT I HIT RECORD I FORGET HOW TO DO ANYTHING #musik musik musik i call this music #classical musician #musician struggles

[doyoueverstopandthink]

“how do you think you did on that performance?” i don’t fucking know, man. every single time i play my instrument i zone the fuck out. there is not a single thought behind my eyes. everything from the past twenty-four hours (except for my back pain) instantly leaves my brain.

Yeah no wonder performing arts venues in Europe all go on summer break. Who other than Satan can sing or dance or play anything in this kind of heat with no air conditioning anywhere!🌡🥵
