  • @DerCakeman
    @DerCakeman 6 років тому +7

    Definitely a nice piece! Although I’m not quite there to play it at full tempo, it‘s so much fun play it. Some things that bother me a bit is: Why didn’t you just use a Key, then you wouldn’t have to write all these flats and it’s easier to read. Second one is kinda my fault but if someone is unable to do it at that tempo he has to take extra breaths to make it through alive (currently at like 70% of the speed on the fast parts with all these octaves etc). Yeah already subbed you months ago and I’m glad you made something for solo baritone :D
    Cheers
    Edit: 1:52 if you want it to be the same note, why don’t you write the same note?

    • @jzonda415
      @jzonda415  6 років тому +7

      I would make a key for it but, when writing and playing, at least for me, I read better with keyless music. Often, I can forget what key were in and miss a note. On top of that, it’s true to the music because it’s not necessarily tonal. But I totally see what you’re saying, and if you ever wanted a PDF of it, I’d include a key signature if you wanted.
      As for breathing, take what you need to play it that makes musical sense. The phrases are long and hard. When I played this for my class, I had to take an extra breath here and there. As long as it sounds good, it doesn’t bother me.
      And 1:52 is a mistake; the correct notes are E D# and then C# (or Fb Eb C# like the next measure). I need to go through and clean it up still.
      Thank you for your comment! Stuff like this helps me improve so much, so I really appreciate it.

      I have been asked variations of this question a few times, and it’s a fair question to answer:
      1. Key signatures are largely archaic, and work more to hinder performance than clarify the music for performers. Instead of having to remember and apply a signature to whole sections of music, a performer can look measure to measure (or, as I can prefer, just individual notes). This aids in the learning process and I would argue ensures less mistakes are accidentally internalized. Even when I write tonal music, I do not use key signatures.
      2. This isn’t in a key really. It is based around C but the material is largely octatonic which doesn’t have a standard key sig. I could have notated this piece with sharps, which might have been easier to read in retrospect, but I chose accidental consistency throughout the score for this work. When I wrote it too, I was the only one I was thinking would play it, and I didn’t mind too much reading from a part like this.

    As a bari player. I can play the beginning and up to measure 32 I gave up. I DO NOT RECOMMEND WASTING TIME ON THIS.

    Is this in concert pitch? If not, how do I turn it into concert pitch? I play bassoon and have no idea how transposing thingamajigs work.
