Not a bassist here, but a bonus point in favour of bass is that it is so resonant it has enabled many deaf people to still enjoy music viscerally, not by hearing but by feeling the vibrations.
@thalanoth2 жыл бұрын
that is an interesting point. I also found it interesting to see she feels the need to use an amplifier for the concerto, commissioned for double bass. It's as if the high energy frequencies of the rest of the symphony deconstruct the resonant frequencies of the bass itself, making it hard to stand out.

I have at least two of each (my first/trial/practice/travel version and my concert/recording/serious version) and there is a HUGE difference between them, in quality, quirks, dynamics and playability.

One of the worst experiences as a pianist imo is when you're asked to play on an instrument that is absolute dogshit -- horribly out of tune, sticky or broken or missing keys, missing dampers, busted or missing pedal, etc. I don't have to worry about that if I take my electric piano with me or if I choose my violin (though I'm nowhere near competent enough to perform violin yet). Assuming the piano has no obvious issues, then it can be pretty fun to become acquainted, but there are a lot that leave me feeling violated for having touched them.

Meanwhile all the other instruments are expensive even second hand, require some some knowledge to tune and are way harder to learn to play on your own, not to mention how loud they can get.

There was a similar thing that happened to a cellist in my youth orchestra that happened to Phoebe's bass. The girl (cannot recall her name because this was in 2007) had a $100,000 cello that her grandmother in China had gifted her for her birthday. Our youth orchestra was traveling to New York to perform at Carnegie Hall. When we arrived in NY she opened her cello case to find the neck of her very expensive cello was broken due to mishandling by the airline. Her parents were understandably livid, and though the cello was insured, they were threatening to sue the airline for the instrument having been broken in the first place (again, understandable). To make matters worse, her grandma had recently passed and so of course her cello was likely the most significant gift she received from her grandmother before she passed. Her parents were able to acquire another cello (not a fine one, of course, but good enough) in time for our dress rehearsal and she was able to perform with us at Carnegie Hall. I'm glad she was able to perform with us, but even though it wasn't my instrument (and even though many of us didn't know the girl very well at all because she didn't go to any of our schools), we all felt deeply hurt for her that something so awful happened to her and many of us were crying with her in the airport when it happened, myself included. I have a deep love for instruments and regard them with such reverence that to this day when I think about her cello I get heartbroken all over again.

I've been friends with an excellent harp player for a couple years now and she helps me correct all my harp writing in my pieces. She tells me all the time that most of her lessons for higher level students are just teaching them how to "re-write" music to actually be playable, and this goes for modern AND classic composers. I feel like harp is the only instrument that has this problem.

@@linneastoddard2962 so I'm not a professional harpist, super duper beginner, but I can kind of input on this. I play piano, and I have trouble trying to play piano pieces on the harp even though my brain is like, "But can't I just play the same stuff on both??" the answer is sometimes yes, but when you can't, you REALLY can't. 1. Harp uses eight fingers, not ten. And you don't really hop around the strings, you have to place your whole hand in correct locations before certain phrases because if you don't anticipate phrases that way, it can get really crazy and messy for fast pieces. Sometimes the way that pieces are written, that jumping or phrase anticipation needs to be accounted for and things need to be marked up way ahead of time. 2. Especially for lever harps, you have to pen in places where you need accidentals... So pedal harps have the ability to shift semitones and it's not as hard, but lever harps have switches on each and every string. If you need a single accidental or an accidental in succession going back to its original note, it's a physical feat to reach up, flick the lever, and come back down to play the strings in time. That's what I can think of as immediate barriers when needing to rewrite harp music!

Also, whatever point you’re trying to make about the “Industrial Age” is a complete fallacy. Are drums Industrial Age instruments too? Because you hit them and they produce a sound. Simple. Guess the harpsichord is too, despite massively predating the Industrial Age.

@@ivyssauro123 You're right about the intuitivity of piano; though, as Hieronymous Lex said, it's far from giving an accurate picture of that instrument because you just spend years trying to master the keys before you really begin to play musically. I believe a child not very gifted on a piano is as painful as a young violinist, on that matter! I feel like the downside of not having to care about the tone makes the process of learning how to play musically more difficult because... you're not really aware of it during your first years. At least I wasn't. The other problem with the piano as well as regards understanding music is that the scores are always so full of different notes and rythms that you don't even grasp the basics (like: you can reduce it all to the simple basic chords you can play on a guitar or a uke; so, when I picked up the uke because after ten years of adult work I still could not buy a piano, I understood a lot of things that never occurred to me on the piano). Which leads me to the absolute downside of the piano: it's very high price, and the space it needs in a room (which adds to how expensive the instrument is).

That was an interesting collection of instruments. As a 45 year sax player, never once did I get to play in orchestra. I am also a percussionist so I have had many great experiences playing various percussion instruments in orchestra, band, jazz band. Something people don't think about for the difficulty of playing a sax is that your fingers are basically in one spot. If you learn a riff in one key, you have to learn different fingering for any other key. With a string instrument or even piano, there is a lot of opportunity to just move your hand and play the same fingering.

What I like about bass: You are the most powerful musician in any band. You are the one who shakes the house. You are the heart-beat of the orchestra, -the groove of the song. You set the function of the harmony (figured bass). You're playing out of tune/wrong note makes everybody else clash with your harmonics, so you must play right. You can change the function of a chord by changing the root. You are the bridge between the rhythm and the harmony. And yet, despite having all of this power, your ultimate job is to be humble and play a supporting role. Your job is to make the band sound good without being noticed. A good bass player's goal is to be the unsung hero.

It can be expressive, it projects well even when the full orchestra is playing(looking at you Rachmaninoff), it can have that orchestral sound in a solo context(Beethoven, Liszt), it's easier to start on than a lot of other instruments(only guitar and recorder and maybe some percussion instruments, I'd say are easier to start on than piano), and there are arrangements of almost anything for piano. Lieder, symphonies, string quartets, just about anything you can think of has either a piano solo or piano duet arrangement. It's a good tuning reference for other instruments, I always tune my other instruments to the piano and listen for subtle beating to tell if it's out of tune or not. Flute, violin, guitar, doesn't matter, I'll play the open pitch/pitches and the same pitch on piano and listen for pitch difference. And my perfect pitch helps with this. And as a pianist, I can play different composers differently and not sound wrong. Like if I'm playing Bach, I hardly use dynamics outside of repeated short passages, whereas with Beethoven, I go crazy with the dynamics. If you compare my Mozart dynamics to my Beethoven dynamics by intensity, you essentially get this(Beethoven on the left, Mozart on the right): p=pp mp=p mf=f f=ff For Mozart, I only use the wrists and fingers for most dynamics(for the occasional fortissimo, I'll use some arm weight), so my forte is softer, my piano is louder. For Beethoven, I use the full body force for fortissimo, so it's very loud. And if I see pianissimo in Beethoven, sometimes I'll press the una corda pedal aka the soft pedal to make it even softer. So yeah, I use a wider dynamic range for Beethoven than Mozart is basically what I'm saying there.

So if you really think about it, the instrument is really you, because you have the choices to ether make the instrument sound good, or bad, or if you take care of it properly.

I agree with Pheobe! The Bass is so underappreciated! Bass playing is enchanting, (almost haunting in a way), like that of the Harp. However, the Harp, as well as the Violin and Piano, have a very conventional sort of beauty. It's like they said, when you hear the Harp you know you've made it into heaven. The Harp, Violin and Piano are all kind of conventional This doesn't make them any less impressive though. I promise i'm not bias because I play Recorder and Viola. I would probably put Saxaphone second because of it's unique sound, rich history and because there's so many different notes and octaves you can play. Thanks for listening to my opinion! All of your instruments are wonderful!!

The cello is, at least in my opinion, the most complete bowed string instrument. It has a great resonant lower register but it can also really sing in the higher register. You kind of have the full range. Great for bass accompaniment and as a solo instrument. I also love the dark velvety sound. I guess the only issue with it is that the repertoire is more limited than the violin repertoire. There are lots of great pieces but especially in the classical period there aren't that many cello concertos besides Haydn. Mozart didn't write one, neither did Beethoven (well, there's the triple concerto). It was also underused in the orchestra at that time.

Among the many incredible things I can say about the cello, there's this: there are so many incredibly musical cellists! With other instruments (especially my own: the piano), I always find performances at fault, and almost always find something disappointing in performers; but with the cello it's the other way around--it's almost hard to find cellists I don't like!
