A Window in Time: Rachmaninoff Performs His Solo Piano Works

A Window in Time: Rachmaninoff Performs His Solo Piano Works Review


A Window in Time: Rachmaninoff Performs His Solo Piano Works Overview

This collection of Rachmaninoff's solo piano performances relies on a mix of old and new technologies. Between 1919 and 1929, Rachmaninoff cut these 19 performances to piano rolls, which would then be played back through reproducing pianos capable of accurately re-creating the original performances through pneumatic devices that animated the rolls with living nuances and shades--a facet that differentiated the classier reproduction keyboards from the more common "player pianos." This set updates the technology with electronic devices--transparently, though expertly, replacing the pneumatics. Played back on a Bösendorfer Reproducing Piano, this collection sounds astounding, full of Rachmaninoff's lickety-quick motion and his punching intensity when striking the keys. There are 18 Rachmaninoff selections--some of them collaborations--and one gem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," taken to new places in this 1919 reading. --Andrew Bartlett

How To Promote A Concert: A Few Tips

Please accept the data below as a guide gift suggestions for publicizing a concert and encourage maximum attendance
and success!

Some of the recommendations may not be proper for your type of concert. While some of the concepts may be obvious,
others may be new but worthy of a try.

Piano Concerto

I will cover the aspects of flyer/poster concert promotion and a few tips for media promotion..

Firstly, the singular most importand thing when you want to promote a concert is to start delegating duties and make sure helpers know
what's expected of them.

So let's start!

[Flyers and Posters]

It's importand to have a well designed, eye-catching flyer or poster. It will show people that the concert deserves their anticipation,
time and money.

The artist's administration may supply you with some flyers or posters to start with.

If you prefer to originate your own flyer or poster, you should find a graphics professional or pronting firm willing to donate
services in change for advertising..

If it's the first time the artist is advent to your town or city be sure to include a testimonial on the flyer or poster. A flyer that simple
advertises an artist or a band will mean nothing to someone who has never heard of them!

Assign volunteers to post the flyers in places likely to attract the most attention. Try grocery stores, local room of Commerce
offices, Art Councils or other communities, malls, shoping plazas, music stores, book stores, galleries and other beloved gathering
spots where flyers are displayed routinely but be sure to ask for permission before posting.

Do not forget to post the flyers or posters to the concert location itself! Try to hang posters as close to the mean eye level as possible..

[Media and other sources of publicity]

List the concert in community calendars, Newspaper, Magazines or radio and Tv stations if possible. Radio and Tv stations may be
willing to anounce events for free.

Be sure to observation them many weeks in advance. In the listing include the date of the concert, time, location, ticket price, ticket outlets,
sponsors of course and phone numbers for information.

Ask promotional material from the artist's managementslike interviews, video clips, song samples, photographs etc. Try to deliver the
material to the media along with the news issue anouncing the concert.

Make sure you effect up by phone. Ask from the administration to arrange an interview with the artist(s) if possible. Discuss other
possibilities.

Provide artist's promo material (if available) to radio stations likely to air it. Encourage them to play it often especially a week or two
before the concert. Have volunteers and friends telephone the stations and request more..!

If you are using an answering motor make a recording using sound clips from the artist. Advertise the phone numbers available to call
in newspapaer or on the radio. include a short message in the recordings detailing concert info.

When you are online, subscribe to any music-related newsgroups or bulletin boards. Post messages about your anticipation, plans and
later, show specific information! Of course if you own a website, think creating a extra area to advertise the concert with a hot-link
to the artist's home page (if any).

Ask from the media to co-sponsor (sharing in work or revenues) or to endorse the concert for publicity purposes. If they say 'Yes'
then make sure you include a '..co-sponsored by..' message in the flyers and other promotional material..

Bach And Handel (Their sway On hereafter Composers)

Bach and Handel each in their own way were a great influence on later generations of composers. Both of them, in their own personal way, summed up the major styles of European music. Handel cultivated a concerto that was based the style of Correlli and Bach cultivated a concerto that was based on the style of Vivaldi. Handel perfected the Italian opera and the English Oratorio, while Bach perfected the cantata, the German Passion, and the Latin mass.

Handel's music relies more on melody and Bach's relies more on counterpoint. This is not to say that Bach couldn't institute good melodies or that Handel couldn't write good counterpoint. It is merely a general observation. Also Bach relied more on phrasing while Handel relied more on dynamics. Although they were both quite adept at using contrasts of texture to generate interest, this technique was more important in Handel's music. Handel's music, for the most part, is more vocally oriented, and Bach's music is more instrumentally oriented. They both were masters of the great European styles of their time, but Handel was much more influenced by the Italian style than Bach, and Bach was more influenced by the German style. It should also be mentioned that Handel's music is easier to accomplish than Bach's. This is unquestionably one guess that Bach's music was not as beloved in his lifetime as was that of Handel.

Piano Concerto

Let's discuss Bach's influence first. The most widely disseminated work of his in his own lifetime was the Well Tempered Clavier, a huge work, in two volumes, each volume containing a prelude and fugue in every major and minor key, totaling 48 pairs of preludes and fugues. This work is intended to be didactic as well as keen to the keyboard player. It was Bach's intention that the player of these wonderful pieces would not only find them keen and joyful to play, but also would gain, from performing them, insight into compositional techniques, especially counterpoint. Many keyboard teachers were still using the Wtc a generation after Bach's death, indeed, even Chopin's piano instructor was using this book in the early nineteenth century.

The Well Tempered Clavier of Johann Sebastian Bach is one the most seminal works of music ever produced. Generations of composers learned the art of counterpoint by playing and learning this great collection of preludes and fugues. Most of Bach's music was ignored until the latter half of the nineteenth century when the Bach revival got underway. Any way positive works of Bach, most notably, The Well Tempered Clavier, were kept alive by a small circle of intellectuals. A man by the name Baron Van Swieten was among these great musical connoisseurs. He hired the twenty-six year-old composer, Wolfgang Mozart to direct his small orchestra while his weekly underground concerts which were held on Sunday afternoons. He loaned Mozart a copy of the Wtc so that he could study and play it in his freedom time. He paid Mozart to dispose some of the fugues of the Wtc for string trio. Mozart was amazed by the genius of this work. It was a profound urgency in Mozart's life to inspect such wonderful contrapuntal music, the likes of which he had never known. Suddenly his counterpoint, which was always very good, became even better. His counterpoint kept getting more and more complex after his encounter with the Wtc.

At the age of thirty three Mozart heard one of the Bach motets and was transfixed by its intricate complexity and great beauty. The choirmaster at Leipzig gave Mozart a copy of the score to all six of the Bach motets. He kept these for the rest of his short life, (he had less than three years left to live) treasuring them like the costly jewels they are. They were a profound influence on his late style. In the last two years of his life Mozart's counterpoint became even more excellent and complex than before.

As for Beethoven, he was raised on Bach's Wtc. He could play straight through book one in its entirety when he was only eight years old. Despite the fact that Beethoven knew the Wtc and most other keyboard music of Bach thoroughly, he was not particularly adept at counterpoint, at least not in his early years. Being interested in the more homophonic style in vogue at the time, the expressiveness in his music relied more on thematic relationships, harmonic movement, and transformation of motifs. Also I would say that Beethoven relied more on rhythmic iteration and rhythmic transition than any other composer. Nonetheless, his early taste with Bach's keyboard music, especially the Wtc, was invaluable for him. In his later years, wanting to institute positive pieces in a more contrapuntal style, Beethoven worked hard at mastering counterpoint. He returned to the music of Bach and Handel, and even studied Palestrina. In his late music, he developed a style of counterpoint that is more reminiscent of Handel than Bach. His fugues in his late period are very rhythmic in nature and quite unique in the history of music. He was found of using fugue themes with repeated notes and rather angular outlines. In the last decade of his life Beethoven proved himself to be a capable contrapuntalist, even though it can be said that his counterpoint is sometimes a bit awkward. The ungainliness of his counterpoint unquestionably gives it a positive power, a sense of struggle, unique to his music, and at times even quite charming. It may be hard to correlate how much he gained from Bach and how much from Handel. He seems outwardly to have been more influenced by Handel but his knowledge of Bach's keyboard music was unquestionably invaluable to him. It is hard to say how much of Bach's vocal music Beethoven had seen. He wrote letters to publishers in the middle of 1810 and 1824 requesting them to send him copies of the B-minor Mass but it is not known if he ever received any copy of it. Beethoven had entrance to the libraries of underground collectors such as the Archduke Rudolph, Baron Van Swieten, and others. In these underground libraries he could have read many vocal works by Bach, Handel, and other composers.

As mentioned above, Chopin's piano instructor had his students play the Wtc. Chopin loved and respected this great tome his whole life. On that noted trip he took with George Sand, to Majorca, it was the only music he took with him. The influence of the Wtc on Chopin was profound. Most population don't think of Chopin as a contrapuntist, and it is true that one does not find much in the way of imitative counterpoint in his music. He never composed any fugues, except as an schoraly practice when he was still quite young, and there are not many canons by Chopin. Any way it can, and should, be said that Chopin's counterpoint is exquisite. No other piano music in the whole nineteenth century has such level voice-leading. The inner voices in his music are almost as melodically keen as the bass and treble voices, and the music has a transparency that allows one to hear each isolate line clearly. Each voice in his piano music, flows mellifluously and smoothly, with never an awkward measure. The influence of the Wtc on Chopin should not be underestimated.

Of course it goes without saying that Brahms was influenced by Bach. More than any other composer, Brahms studied the music of former composers. He was unquestionably very fond of Handel but he unquestionably loved Bach. Brahms was, perhaps, the most contrapuntist of the nineteenth century and to this he owed a positive debt to Bach. Schumann also loved Bach and paid homage to him in his Six pieces in Canonic form, opus 56. Schumann recommended playing one prelude and fugue from the Wtc per day. As for Mendelssohn, Bach's influence on Mendelssohn can be most unquestionably seen in his preludes and fugues, which are somewhat reminiscent of some of the preludes and fugues in the Wtc.

The music of J.S. Bach was kept alive only by a small circle of intellectuals until the Bach revival that was kicked of by Felix Mendelssohn with his historic operation of The St Mathew Passion in March of 1829. Bach's vocal and instrumental music was gently becoming more available in print since the last decade of the eighteenth century but Mendelssohn created a greater awareness of the greatness of his music. Then in 1850,on the hundredth anniversary of Bach's death, the Bach society was formed in Germany. The Bach Society's raison d'etre was to issue every extant work of J.S. Bach. This huge task was not completed until the very end of the nineteenth century.

Handel's influence on later generations was maybe more direct. His operas and oratorios are very appealing. He unquestionably knew how to please a crowd, yet there is so much more than mere pandering to the masses in his music. His juxtapositions of strongly contrasting textures, his carefully times use of dynamics, his gorgeous melodies, and his ability to eke out so much expressiveness from one motif, make his music a virtual compendium of compositional technique.

Although Mozart knew only a small fraction of Bach's music, he was thoroughly customary with the music of Handel. while his childhood trip to England he became well acquainted with Handel's music and he never lost his taste for it. To anything customary with Mozart's liturgical music, it is positive that his knowledge of Handel was deep and thorough. You can hear Handel's influence in some of Mozart's early works, such as The Solemn Vespers, and in later works such as the C minor mass and the Requiem mass. In fact, the chance page of Mozart's Requiem, gorgeous as it is, is merely a reworking of the chance choral movement of Handel's funeral music for Queen Caroline. And the glorious double fugue in the Kyrie from the Requiem, uses as one of its two themes, a slightly altered version of the theme that Handel used for "With his Stripes, We are Healed" from his "Messiah."

By far, the major influence of Handel on later generations was straight through his oratorios, the most noted of which is "Messiah." Baron Von Swieten (mentioned above) commissioned Mozart to re-orchestrate this great work as well as Handel's "Acis and Galatea," "Alexander's Feast," and "Ode for St Cecilia's Day." "Messiah" is the most thinly scored of Handel's oratorios, mostly because he was writing it for the city of Dublin, and having never visited that city, did not know what instruments would be available. Messiah is scored for the basic Baroque orchestra, which consists of strings, oboes, and bassoons, with trumpets and kettledrums reserved for the more celebrative numbers. Not only did Mozart add many instruments to the score but he altered many of the arias. Some of them he cut short, or altered positive passages. In some of the arias Mozart changed the harmonic structure. But in the choral movements, he made few changes other than adding instruments to double each voice in the choir. He did the same to "Acis and Galatea." Also, "Acis and Galatea" Mozart added an instrumental countermelody to each aria. These distinguished works would have survived without the Mozart versions, Any way they became even greater masterpieces when reworked by Mozart. The popularity of Handel's "Messiah" is not to be underestimated. It was immensely beloved in his day and has remained so, influencing many composers, especially Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn's two oratorios are obviously influenced greatly by Handel.

As mentioned above there can be found a positive Handelain influence in Beethoven's music. Many of Beethoven's grand themes sound as if they could have been written by Handel. A good example is the main theme to the Consecration of the House overture. More than once in his life Beethoven expressed his conception that Handel was the most composer who ever lived. It should be mentioned, however, that Beethoven knew very miniature of Bach's music surface of the keyboard works.

In general, the nineteenth century, composers were influenced by the grandeur and power of Handel and the exquisite, complex counterpoint of Bach. The most creative of these composers were able to combine into their own unique style what they learned from these masters. Bach and Handel were both imaginable in their own right, and they were also seeds that bore great fruit in hereafter generations. The influence of these composers should not be underestimated. Bach's Wtc alone was a large influence, as was Handel's Messiah. It seems to me that Handel's influence is more direct and obvious, some examples are Mendelssohn's "Elijah" and much of Mozart's church music. Unfortunately, many of Bach's great choral masterpieces were not heard or published for over 150 years. What would Mozart have conception of Bach's B minor mass, or St Mathew Passion? How would the Christmas Oratorio or the Magnificat have influenced Mozart if he had known these wonderful pieces? We will never know.

The influence of Bach is more subtle than the influence of Handel and can be seen mostly in the way other composers learned counterpoint by learning his works. If you want to learn how to generate a bass line that goes well with the melody, supports the harmony, yet has beauty, and an independence and logic of its own, there is no good composer to study than Bach. If you want to institute contrapuntal music with complexity, yet with smoothness, clarity, and transparency, then learning the music of Bach and Handel is indispensable.

Amilcare Ponchielli ( la gioconda ) - DANCE OF THE HOURS

Amilcare Ponchielli ( la gioconda ) - DANCE OF THE HOURS Tube. Duration : 9.95 Mins.


Amilcare Ponchielli (Italian pronunciation: [aˌmilkaɾe poŋˈkjɛlli], August 31, 1834 -- January 16, 1886) was an Italian composer, largely of operas. Dance of the Hours (Italian, Danza Delle Ore) is a short ballet from Act 3, Scene 2 of the opera La Gioconda composed by Amilcare Ponchielli. It depicts the hours of the day through solo and ensemble dances. The opera was first performed in 1876 and was revised in 1880. Later performed on its own, the Dance of the Hours was at one time one of the best known and most frequently performed ballets.[1][2] It became even more widely known after its inclusion in the 1940 Disney animated film Fantasia where it is depicted as a comic ballet featuring anthropomorphized ostriches, hippos, elephants, and alligators. The ballet, accompanied by an orchestra, appears at the end of the third act of the opera, in which the character Alvise, who heads the Inquisition, receives his guests in a large and elegant ballroom adjoining the death chamber. The music and choreography represent the hours of dawn, day, twilight, night and morning. Costume changes and lighting effects reinforce the progression. The dance is intended to symbolize the eternal struggle between the forces of light and darkness. Altogether it is about 10 minutes long. The piece begins with an introduction in G major, with vocal assistance in the form of a recitative which is omitted in the symphonic version. Then follows in sequence: the dance of the hours of dawn, the hours ...

Busoni: Piano Concerto, Op. 39

Busoni: Piano Concerto, Op. 39 Review


Busoni: Piano Concerto, Op. 39 Overview

Back when the film Shine was popular, Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto became all the rage as a work making nearly suicidal demands of its soloist. But one mountain of challenges to the virtuoso you're not likely to encounter in live performance is the Piano Concerto of Ferruccio Busoni. Its dimensions are Guinness Book material: Lasting over 70 minutes and cast in five epic movements, it not only uses a gargantuan orchestra but calls for an invisible male chorus singing a mystical hymn of stunning beauty in the finale. But the concerto isn't just about grandiosity. Its complex, symbolic architecture gives the work a searching intensity more akin to the trajectory of a Mahler symphony. In his preoccupation with synthesizing elements from North and South, incorporating contrapuntal complexity and flowing Italianate lyricism, introspective gloom and fevered excitement, Busoni sounds something like a character out of Thomas Mann.

Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin--who has made a specialty of neglected masterpieces--performs with a tremendous range of expression and theatrical flair, clearly holding his own against the earlier celebrated account of John Ogdon. The sui generis nature of the piece requires an unusually high degree of sensitive interaction from the conductor. Mark Elder shows a magnificent grasp of Busoni's architectonic sensibility and his sculpting of musical space, as well as of the score's kaleidoscopic orchestration. Busoni may be bidding farewell to an entire tradition here, but it's his over-the-top originality that is likely to captivate you. --Thomas May

Here are seven top reasons:
Music is a universal language. It inspires tasteless human feelings and bridges gaps in the middle of cultures that spoken languages cannot. It brings habitancy together and creates universal community. Music inspires and evokes emotion in a healthy way. It touches our emotional being and evokes moods and feelings that are sometimes difficult to express.

It is scientifically proven that music enhances brain functioning. Playing music uses many brain functions simultaneously: motor control, imagination, hearing, sight, memory, etc. Music creates ambiance. You can use music in any environment to enhance and augment what is already there. think the disagreement in the middle of a party with music and one without, or a sporting event, or a movie, or a romantic restaurant, or driving in your car... Music is spiritual. Music is of the spirit and inspirational to the spirit. All religions use music to help express spiritual values, and all religions use music to uplift the spirit. Music sparks the imagination. It invokes reasoning imagery and inner scenery that opens the mind to breathtaking comprehension and spans the length in the middle of the stars. Music is a easy pleasure. All it takes is your ears and your imagination.

The Evolution of Jazz Music in the 1930s

Jazz is a musical art form that has wide well beyond its own genre definition, transforming with every era and begetting countless other beloved modern genre forms in the process. As an artistic invention of African American communities primarily in the Southern region of the United States, jazz finds its earliest roots in New Orleans, where black performers blended Southern blues, the foreseen, variations of Caribbean music, and an altered form of primary European instrumentation.

Resistance to "hot jazz" in the early twentieth century finally contributed to the evolution of jazz music in the 1930s. In the 1920s, jazz music had spread to the North, Chicago and New York, where bands gave their performances on the margins of society. During the Prohibition era, jazz was often performed in illegal speakeasies and the Red Light district, causing this "wild" music to be connected with the decadence of that era. However, with the onset of the depression the Dixieland jazz that had dominated up until the end of the 1920s was gently supplanted.

Piano Concerto

The End of Dixieland

Jazz gently began to creep in at the edges of mainstream music because of its popularity on college campuses, and in general, among American youth. The evolution of jazz music in the 1930s amounted to a compromise in the middle of the music manufactures and the older generation of white Americans, who were gently accepting the nearnessy of jazz music in beloved culture. However, this increasing popularization affected a essential dilution of the form, shedding much of the raw, impromptu potential of earlier Dixieland jazz.

Dixieland was characterized by the convergence of many forms - polyrhythmic ragtimes, the low pitch of blue notes, French Quadrilles, and improvisation, as well as a large rhythm section of the trombone, trumpets, tuba, guitars, clarinet, the piano, drums, and banjo. It was unpredictable, and the private performers showcased their improvisational skills, playing from their souls not their notes.

The Rise of Big Band Swing

At the starting of the decade white big band swing performers played "sweet" jazz, production use of violins and arranged sheet music. The reasons for this singular evolution of jazz music in the 1930s were twofold. It was more composed and less obnoxious to the older white American audience. At the same time, the onset of the Depression created a comprehensive need for inexpensive pleasantries, and jazz-inspired music gently gained footing in the newly burgeoning radio industry.

The more recognizable swing arrangements evolved when dancing became connected to big band. Dance styles, such as the Lindy Hop, that had been popularized in black communities in the 1920s were appropriated by white teenagers and introduced in dance halls. Swing orchestras became larger, with 20-25 pieces in a typical band. Music was still arranged, but private performers were given complex solos, and as was also typical in sweet jazz, a singer performed vocals to the music. beloved performers of the era contain Shep Fields, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller.

The undomesticated "hot jazz" of black performers - along with Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Jimmie Lunceford - persisted throughout the big band era, but never gained the popularity of its white counterpart. Big band singlehandedly dominated the entertainment industry, extending beyond radio to television and film in the 1940s. The evolution of jazz music in the 1930s led to its eventual popularity across the continent and later, internationally. Jazz music has been adapted globally across cultural lines, but its humble roots remain in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Music Can Be a Hobby

A hobby is something that you enjoy doing, something that brings relief of the daily grind and allows you to unwind. Many population turn to music as their form of release. Music is among the most favorite of all hobbies. There are any distinct ways to enjoy music as your hobby. Even if you can't play a single note, music is excellent sufficient to go above and beyond any limitations that you may levy on yourself. Jump in with both feet and observe the distinct ways you can enjoy the soothing and sometimes fascinating facets of music.

It's pretty safe to say that there would be no music if there was nobody to play it. There easily are no boundaries when it comes to picking up an instrument and studying to play. Anything can do it if you have the patience and the willingness to learn. It's a good idea to try more than one type of instrument in order to know what you easily prefer and what feels the most natural to you. It's best not to make your decision on something like how cool a inevitable guitar looks on your favourite rock star. Everyone needs to originate their own musical styling with the instrument that is best for them.

Piano Concerto

Writing music is one of the most profound ways to dig deep into yourself and see what you have to offer in a musically creative format. Don't expect the first thing you write to be an spectacular, piece of work. It takes time to build up to it. Starting small is necessary for even the greatest of musicians. Don't feel as if what you write isn't worth sharing with others either. It's coarse to feel insecure when you originate your own customary music but if your passion is in it, let it speak for itself.

Some music fans find that playing an instrument is more than gratifying and they commit to collecting as many as possible. Even if you don't play a single instrument, having it in part of your collection is still remarkable. Think about how many population you know that have a piano and never play it. Many of us know somebody like that. Something s beautiful as a fine piano should be played but it also makes a beautiful piece of décor as well as conversational inspiration.

When you observe an artist or musician that you just can't get sufficient of, it's understandable that you want to obtain all of their works. A music collection is a great hobby to have. Not only is listening to music and enjoying it the main focus but the collection itself is something that will continue to grow and thrive throughout the years. It doesn't take long for the avid music collector to obtain hundreds or thousands of records and Cds. It's an investment that never stops giving back.

Music is something we can all relate to, no matter what type it is. It's a universal hobby that brings out the best in all of us.

Elvis Presley Gospel Music

A lot of habitancy may not connect Elvis Presley with gospel music, but he wrote over 50 gospel songs. There have been many documentaries made regarding Elvis Presley's love of gospel music. He started out in music by singing at a tiny church in Memphis. Also, he is a member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley Volumes 1 and 2 feature over 30 of Elvis' gospel recordings. It also contains stories from some of the habitancy that knew him best. He was heavily influenced by two of the top southern gospel music quartets, "The Blackwood Brothers" and "The Statesmen." Also, Presley had a lifelong bond with gospel legend J.D. Sumner.

Piano Concerto

Presley once said, "Since I was two years old, all I knew was gospel music. That music became such a part of my life it was as natural as dancing. A way to fly from the problems. And my way of release." As a kid, Presley's favorite singer was southern gospel singer Jake Hess. He is also said to be one of Presley's most influences to his unique style.

There was whole book written about the gospel music of Elvis. It is titled "The Gospel Side of Elvis," and was written by Joe Moscheo. This is a in effect nice book written from a great perspective. Moscheo played piano in some songs for Elvis' recordings in the studio. He also sang at Presley's funeral, giving this book a unique and arresting perspective. There have been many other books and documentaries released analyzing Elvis' gospel music career.

Although once he became famous, narrative executives imposed their will on him and he began writing hits like "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog," Elvis never lost his love for the southern gospel music that he was raised on. Songs like "Jailhouse Rock" and Hound Dog" raised him to the status of musical icon, but gospel music was his first love.

Elvis was especially found of black gospel music. Someone else huge affect on Presley's music was Sister Rosetta Tharpe. As a boy Elvis would rush home every day after school just to listen to her and other black gospel singers on a extra show that featured it on the radio. Tharpe and Presley had something in base in that they both controversially blended styles of music. Presley blended country music with rhythm and blues, while Tharpe mixed black spirituals with big band jazz.

At many of his concerts Elvis would use gospel groups as his backup singers. These gospel groups would voyage with him while he was on tour. Elvis would use gospel music to relax. It was also very base to see him listening to it to prepare for a show.

While it is very customary that Elvis did listen to gospel music and even made gospel songs, many do not fully understand the extent of the impact that gospel music made on Elvis' career. The impact the gospel had on him was not just dinky to music. It has often been said that most of the literature Elvis carried was religous-based and that he never went on tour without the Bible. Few understand the important of faith in the life of Elvis Presley.

Keep the metronome ticking out the beat and see if you can keep up. If you're trying to play a slower piece of music you will probably have more initial success in retention in time with the metronome than if you're trying to play a fast flowing Mozart composition. Should your chosen piece of music be more upbeat, and you find you can't play at the required speed, go back to the metronome and set it for a slower speed. Once you can play the music at that speed, moderately increase the metronome speed until you can secretly play it using the literal, timing.

Rhythm is something that you can heighten with by listening. Learn how various music forms, such as tango and waltz are performed. Learn where the main strong beats are in each measure. Once you have some idea about how the music is supposed to sound, look at your sheet music and recognize where the rhythm is showing - is it captured in the melody, or is it solely in the harmony?

In a waltz for example you will normally find the left hand producing the steady, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3 full tone waltz rhythm while the melody keeps in time but doesn't always conform to a 1 2 3 steady basic pattern. Generally you'll find that the right hand is occupied with many half, quarter or even less tones but the integrity of the waltz is maintained by the left harmony. By listening to the right rhythm before beginning to play you'll be more aware of retention to the literal, timing buildings to speak the suitable rhythm.

Commitment to custom will greatly heighten your piano playing technique, but especially in respect to timing and rhythm which require you to hear the music as well as play it, custom is beyond doubt essential. And of course there are courses in piano rhythms you can take that will beyond doubt help. Add the regular use of a metronome to this commitment and you'll soon feel more certain that you are playing the music with the right speed and with the right rhythm.
