Banners work great for the type of floral patterns you find in Art Nouveau. The building on the left is based on Hauptmann House in Ljubljana, the one in the middle is based on Bartoli House in Trieste.
The floral pattern is made with whatever base you want, a flower charge, indented pattern at the base, and a diagonal in either direction. Then you put alternating banners right one under the other
Not many people know but the pianos in conservatory practice rooms are actually free, they are just hard to move so nobody bothers. Good luck!
You are a detective trying to find who keeps tying people to the track, and you narrowed it down to a pool of 10.000 people.
In an act of desperation, he ties himself and those 10.000 people on the track. Right as the trolley is approaching you receive divine knowledge that if the culprit gets away now you never catch him and 15.000 people will die because of his actions in the future. What do you do?
I rely too much on recordings I've heard with my interpretations, I want to learn a piece without ever listening to it to see how it compares to standard interpretations. So do you have any suggestions for lesser known pieces?
Preferbaly something romantic, that has space for cretaive freedom. Something not too long, and maybe around the difficulty of an average Chopin Nocturne.
I've been studying Chopin's Ballade 1 for a while and the whole piece was surprisingly manageable (technically, musically it's still a beast), but the coda is a bit too difficult for me right now.
I don't want to be stuck practicing just this for a while, so do you have suggestions for pieces to focus on that share some techniques with the coda, and maybe prepare me better for it? Just from my intuition I was thinking of Op 10 no 3 for the middle section, or maybe Rachmaninoff's Prelude in g minor. I have a preferences for shorter pieces, and those that are straight up fun to play after you master them, but any suggestions are welcomed
For example I highly recommend Op 27 no 2 for anyone who wants to learn the Ballade in the future, there are surprisingly many references and similar techniques to the ballade, intentional or not.
