Happy birthday Scarlett!!!
( Let's pretend I'm not late, okay?)
Can't wait any longer but want to ask who's Scarlett's favorite composer? Or maybe some piece in particular? 👀
"Thank you, thank you! I appreciate your wishes, dear. And your question!"
"Let's see... well, it's hard to choose simply one, I admire several aspects when it comes to composers and their musicality. But... I have to agree that Johann Sebastian Bach was one of a kind. As a pianist, I'm certain that the basic techniques and dynamics can be found so smoothly within his work. Not only for piano, though, his repertoire was rather genius in many areas. In spite of such a consistent structure, he did not lack emotion, nor passion."
"One of my favorite pieces from his whole repertoire is his Chaconne, the Partita no. 2 for violin. I'm not a violinist myself, but I doubt I would dare touch this piece even if I were. It is said it was dedicated to his deceased wife, and whether that is true is not, it's impossible to deny the grief, longing and sorrow within this piece. Regardless of the difficulty levels, I believe it's harder to make that piece justice when you have to portray such deep emotions, which can be said of any piece, honestly, but maybe I feel a deeper connection with Bach's Chaconne in particular, so it's precious..."
"Oh, on the topic of Bach, what I can resonate more with are his cello Suites! I am not that much of an experienced cellist, but I hope to be one day. I very much enjoy playing his Cello Suite no. 1, in G Mayor. Very known and not highly difficult -or, not a first sight– but pretty beautiful and classy. I like the forth movement, Sarabande, the most."
"Lastly, I can't overlook other piano geniuses, that instrument is something I take pride on, after all. I am very fond of Chopin and Tchaikovsky's romantic works, but I particularly admire Rachmaninoff a lot. His motif and symbolic aspects are quite shocking to some, perhaps for his rather aggressive style. But, that is something that I personally find fascinating! One of my favorite Rachmaninoff pieces is his Prelude in C Sharp Minor. Brief but powerful. And quite haunting, I can feel the despair in that fortissimo cadenza, followed by a calmer relief... Or resignation? The story behind it makes it make a lot of sense, much like with every other composition, isn't it interesting to know what led the composer to write such a dark piece of music? I believe it is. It's not news that death and sorrow surrounded Rachmaninoff a lot, and I like his depiction of it when puts it into this work."
Scarlett realized she's been talking for a while.
"... A-ah. I got a little excited there. Oops? Haha... well, I love music and its background quite a lot. I hope that answered your question. And thank you for your birthday wishes!"
Bro... why Dance Moms is so traumatizing?
Like, I watched this show when I was 8 (I honestly felt so much the same as the kids because my mom also used to argue like a lot woth my music teacher) but I thought "It's only a show", so most of the things weren't the truth of the highest instance.
But bro, kids' emotions were real... Like when I see when theses 10 yo girls crying – my heart is aching and I also kinda remember my own experience with a toxic teacher, but I wasn't participating some kind of crazy show with crazy producers! I didn't sign contracts, y know?
Those shows are insane and I feel fucking bad for the girls, tho now they're grown up people, some of them are kinda my peers, but still it is a pain to see all those horrible things which were done to them.
My fav has always been Chloe, Idk I really enjoyed her lyrical solos and her as a performer but there were so many times when she was hated by Abbey for.. nothing? Like you see it's a talented beautiful girl and she's treated like that? (I also experienced this shit as my flute teacher had "favourites" so she just didn't want me to participate, she didn't want me to u know play the music? Develop my abilities? Like hell no, she'd start a conflict via my parents just to make me quit because she had already chosen her favs there was no place for me lol)
Also, Nia. I hated how she has always been kinda neglected, she was rarely given solos, even tho she was a great team player and knew what is teamwork in group dances, seems like she wasn't praised for that because probably 'everyone else also do group routine' but lol to be a great team player – is a huge advantage of this girl and those strenghts weren't highlighted, seems like everyone noticed the flaws only.
like wtf everyone has different skills and abilities and the teacher's responsibility is to help students to strengthen their beneficial sides and at the same time to boost the demerits in order to make a young person become closer to a professional, just fucking teach aaaaauauahh((( not humiliate some of your students and make favourites of others like damn they should realize themselves if they really want to compete, not you making them fighting!!!!
I loved Maddie's performances because she really had the technique, attitude, confidence, but there was too much pressure for a little girl to endure like omfl... I just can't stand this shit when literally everyone is traumatized and manipulated. Little kids. Fuck
These shows are the worst thing because they mix professional life and personal life. Real emotions and staged scripts. Real goals and commodifyed pain.
((((
Like yeah, ppl love seeing drama but it's fine unless you're involved! I feel like I said nothing and everything at the same time, but the only thing I have no doubts about is that little children should never been treated like they were and I have only my compassion and faith words to... express my feelings toward it?
