Come, I'll prepare something but before posting I would like to manage to tune my bass drum... (that is to say the acoustic piano).

I'll update you...

I forgot... what Frank was saying about improvisation was interesting..

I often improvise at the piano, but I don't know if what I do is useful or not, or if it makes sense since I know nothing about improvisation and composition. I had started studying the first rudiments of harmony, inversions, etc., but I stopped after a few lessons for the same reasons mentioned above...

However, I feel that improvising by giving a rhythmic and timbral sense to what I do matures me somehow in terms of discovering the instrument. Was this what you were alluding to, Frank? Or did I misunderstand?

Maybe I'll also send you some of my sudden outbursts of madness (improvisations).

I STREPITOUSLY agree with Frank when he says that from the very first year, certain things about sound and interpretation must be made clear. I am of the opinion that teaching how to perceive "the whole" immediately is culturally important: we do not know if the student will stop after a few years or continue to study and practice Music, but completeness should be present from the early years. This, in my opinion, also applies to the study of a composition by an already experienced musician. Trying to identify the character immediately and putting it into music should come before studying individual bars, phrases, or pages. Musical understanding itself will suggest to the musician the technical solutions and the path to follow to learn the piece

Yes, this without a doubt.

The piece will indicate the path to follow.

One must search among the notes ...and it is always different and never conclusive. One cannot say....I'm finished..I have studied, understood, and interpreted the piece and therefore...it is ended.

Agreed.
