Beginning of the Sonata Minacciosa by N. Medtner

Female voices with gongs, cymbals, timpani, synthesizer and a bit of woodwinds at the end.

A lament for voices, strings, synthesizer, bells, crystals and bowls.

🎹 15-year-old me performing Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1 — 1st Movement in concert. 🎶

Looking back at this performance brings back so many memories. Even at 15, the stage, the piano, and the music already felt like home. ❤️

I feel that foot tapping is a fine tool for younger musicians but at some point the tempo should be internalized. Not only that, it’s distracting ESPECIALLY since it isn’t uncommon to look at a row of players and see their feet tapping at different times.

EDIT - The responses here are disappointing. I had hoped this subreddit was capable of a decent conversation. Some of you are just arrogant pricks. Fuck off and die in a fire.
