What ARE complimentary piano lessons? I don't get compliments too often from MY piano lesson...

As far as I found out both forms )"complementary" and "complimentary") exist. I do agree however that complimentary is certainly not what you would associate with this kind of subject. Get used to it, you'll never be good enough for the teacher because he/she never was in their life.

When I grow up, I want to be an understanding and supportive piano teacher...that's the catch, because I don't ever plan on growing up!

But just in case you do, remember your great plan.

I'd rather be a Toys 'R' Us kid than a lost boy.

I could name a bunch more, but maybe I'll stop for now to ask if anyone knows what I'm talking about. How does everyone else feel about this stuff? --Chris I'll also recommend La Sonnerie de Sainte Geneviève du Mont à Paris (The Bells Of St. Genevieve) as another good Baroque piece. Recently, I've been playing this one a lot. -CG

...bump...
Telemann's Trumpet concerto in D Hummel's Trumpet Concerto Haydn's Trumpet concerto Leopold Mozart's....yes, a trumpet concerto!
ANYTHING by Bach, particularly his Passacaglia and Fugue, and the famous Toccata and Fugue, both realized wonderfully by Matthias Bamert and the BBC Phil on CD (Stokowski orchestral transcriptions).

Great pieces, even though at least half of them are more clssical than baroque.

it's a fine line sometimes. The Haydn and Hummel are classical...my bad. but I don't care. it's late!

Where would you place the Leopold Mozart? It has elements of both eras.

I place it squarely in the classical period. The Baroque relied heavily on basso continuo and stark contrast. Mozart's concerto isn't quite so loud one second and then soft another. Mozart also uses little flourishes in the violins (after all he was an author of a treatise on violin playing) that I don't typically associate with the Baroque era (without trying to generzliae too much).

For my money, keeping in mind I absolutely love strings, Pachelbel's Canon is the best classical piece ever written.

it's funny you mention that piece because when I was in LA last week listening to KUSC they had a program called something like the best " musical trash" music ever written, and Pachelbel's "Canon" was one of them. I don't know why it was included because, maybe because it's so uber-popular, but I think it's one of the more deceptively complex pieces written.

Which leads to the deeper question of why classical/film score fans hate popularity so much.
