By http://youtube.com/digitalartmusic - This is lesson 3, a background lesson for a series of lessons aiming to provide illustrative sound phonics to recognize and learn high and low tone of human hearing range of 20 (bass) to 20,000 Hz (brilliance above 6,000 KHz)
Try to accomplish a number of simple goals by watching and listening Lesson 3A video of Classical Music ABC School for babies, infants, toddlers and any other age:
1. Follow melodic flow of the composition, performed by digital piano
2. Point your baby for a cloud playing a true piano)with hands of 10 years old girl))
3. You can encourage your baby to notice low and higher tunes of a piano (played by left and right hands, respectively) and thus provide a natural extension of what you learned in Lesson 2
4. Analysis of the sound of the piano play is not necessary, as we will come back to this recording when you watch-and-hear the followup lessons
5. Try to remember the tune and sing it with your child/children
6. Try to listen till the end, but feel free to stop at any time
Realise yourself that by asking your child to watch and listen to this video you are attempting to switch on realized active music hearing of your baby. This lesson is a background hearing for the following set of lessons where we will switch to tone recognition of other musical instruments, selected to be simpler for understanding by a child then a present Piano composition
Presented soundtrack is a Piano play of Robert Schumann's Revierie Scn 15.7 Childhood scenes or Träumerei.
Composition history:
The "Träumerei", No. 7 of the set, is one of the most famous piano pieces ever written, which has been performed in myriad forms and transcriptions. It has been the favourite encore of several great pianists, including Vladimir Horowitz. Melodic and deceptively simple, the piece has been described as "complex" in its harmonic structure
Robert Schumann also known as Robert Alexander Schumann, (8 June 1810 -- 29 July 1856) was a German composer, aesthete and influential music critic. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most representative composers of the Romantic era. Schumann left the study of law to return to music, intending to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist. He had been assured by his teacher Friedrich Wieck that he could become the finest pianist in Europe, but a hand injury caused by a device he created to develop the strength and independence of his fingers ended this dream. One of the most promising careers as a pianist had thus come to an end. Schumann then focused his musical energies on composing.
Schumann's published compositions were written exclusively for the piano until 1840; he later composed works for piano and orchestra; many lieder (songs for voice and piano); four symphonies; an opera; and other orchestral, choral, and chamber works. His writings about music appeared mostly in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (New Journal for Music), a Leipzig-based publication which he jointly founded.
Piano history:
The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. It is one of the most popular instruments in the world. Widely used in classical and jazz music for solo performances, ensemble use, chamber music and accompaniment, the piano is also very popular as an aid to composing and rehearsal. Although not portable and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the world's most familiar musical instruments.
Pressing a key on the piano's keyboard causes a felt-covered hammer to strike steel strings. The hammers rebound, allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency.[1] These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a sounding board that more efficiently couples the acoustic energy to the air. The sound would otherwise be no louder than that directly produced by the strings. When the key is released, a damper stops the string's vibration. See the article on Piano key frequencies for a picture of the piano keyboard and the location of middle-C. In the Hornbostel-Sachs system of instrument classification, pianos are considered chordophones.
The word piano is a shortened form of pianoforte, the Italian word for the instrument (which in turn derives from the previous terms "gravicembalo col piano e forte" and fortepiano). The musical terms "piano" and "forte" mean "quiet" and "loud," and in this context refers to the variations in volume of sound the instrument produces in response to a pianist's touch on the keys: the greater a key press's velocity, the greater the force of the hammer hitting the string(s), and the louder the note produced.
