Is there any pianist who is looking for a duet partner of mostly baroque and classical repertoire? Also i would love to try some old school video game rep like Zelda and Mario if any scores are out there. Please message me if you're interested. And let me know if this is the wrong part of the forums to post and either move it for me or I'll move it. Cheers all, Jess

Gavin, I only managed to play very very simple duet with my teacher, hehehe. I'm still beginner. But I like duets! |
 |
Yes, duets are great fun! |

Here are books of classical duets from various composers that are begging to be performed by Pianovers: Here are books of classical duets from various composers that are begging to be performed by Pianovers: Of course, you can just go to IMSLP and pick a composer that you like and look up their list of duets or 4 hands piano pieces. |

I got myself a used piano few months ago. Started learning a bit on my own. Still thinking if I should get a teacher to have formal lessons. Any self-taught pianists here? Any tips? I've tried some youtube videos for beginners, and also bought a couple of adult books. Still fumbling with reading the doh ray me.. haha.

Well, I have tried for fun non-paid versions like Sight Reading Trainer and Note Trainer Lite. There also paid versions, but never tried them. So, really it's up to you. |
 |
Hehe, of coz I'm trying the free ones first. After a day's work, I'm actually quite tired, and it's challenging to get myself to the piano. Hope I can make it. *cross fingers* |

See More For myself, progress is faster after starting lessons. However, that may also be because my instrumental teachers have always been a very strong source of motivation for me to practice, coupled with the fact that I have to put in financial resources for the lessons. Before that, I just played at my own sweet time. |

I just finished my 12th original composition and released the piano solo sheet music, that to me is kind of a milestone.
The new piano solo piece is called "An Unforgettable Adventure". You can listen to it on SoundCloud by clicking the image below (don't forget to "Follow" me there to get updates). The background for this piece is where you have a truly memorable adventure, one filled with peaceful moments, reflective moods, and quite a bit of excitement.

A friend of mine actually interpreted "An Unforgettable Adventure" as a monument to life. She said that the first part of the song reflects childhood and youth, the middle part is akin to sprinting through life in your career, and for me, I feel that the ending part reflects old age. Nevertheless, that's still an adventure to me. An adventure in life!
Hope you will like it. I might perform it at Pianovers Meetup one day. Thanks.

Piano Piece Pick #16 - (If I got my numbering correct,) I would love to resume this series...
Mendelssohn is often nobody's favorite composer, so allow me to introduce a piece of his - Fantasie, Op. 28, a 3 movement work. It is also known as "Sonata écossaise" or the Scottish Sonata. Each movement is faster than the one before it (just like Beethoven's "Moonlight").

Love is Blue is a classic sentimental song that has captured my attention, since I first heard it in music lesson in Secondary 1. My music teacher Mr Sem Kai Peng played this out, and we students were supposed to play out the piece on the recorder.
Recently after receiving music lessons in 2018, I heard this piece again and attempted to deconstruct its elements. I will be deconstructing the Paul Mariat A minor version.

Love is Blue is a classic sentimental song that has captured my attention, since I first heard it in music lesson in Secondary 1. My music teacher Mr Sem Kai Peng played this out, and we students were supposed to play out the piece on the recorder.
Recently after receiving music lessons in 2018, I heard this piece again and attempted to deconstruct its elements. I will be deconstructing the Paul Mariat A minor version.
Its introduction chords is appregioic zigzag style, and my favourite element is the counter melody in the second verse.
In the middle of the piece, there is a parallel modulation from A minor to A major. I feel this is very apt as after the modulation to the major key, the lyrics turn from being depressed about lost love, to flashbacks about happier times "When we met, how the bright sun shone." before going back to being sad again "Then love died, now the rainbow is gone", and correspondingly the music changes back to the minor key.
Thanks for reading my analysis and perhaps I shall post again about my favourite piano pieces.

I originally joined Pianovers with intentions of chances for public performance and to make friends.
Never did I expect to fall in love with some classical music here which I originally thought was too dreary.
Here are a few favourites of mine and acknowledgements to friends who introduced these pieces to me:
1) Military March 1 in D major by Schubert, thanks to Jeremy Foo and Matthew Soh.
2)Prélude Op. 23 No. 5 in G minor by Rachmaninoff, thanks to Jonathan Lam... See More

3) Pictures of an Exhibition, Promenade 1 by Modestsky, courtesy of a mental health video I watched
4) Choral Symphony no 9, 2nd Movement by Beethoven, thanks to NUS Choir and the NUS Symphonic Orchestra!!
Next I might discuss the musicalities of these classical pieces to determine why I like them so much!
