Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
Guest_2242 : Hi guys, Can anybody give me some information about the dastgah system in persian classical music. I'm so lost. Thanks
Guest_374 : im a leaner nd i need help
Guest_374 : im a leaner nd i need help
Guest_1878 : hi, dear Rod, culd u pls tell me the differences between ur course with The Rocket Piano Lesson which only costs $40? looking forward ur reply. Thanks
Guest_235 : Marilyn, it will all come in time. Don't worry and keep practicing.
Guest_235 : We are in the room and have been piano teachers.
Guest_3301 : i need a raga scale in the key of Eb
marilyn : I know my chords. The 6th and 7ths I figured out I'd have to use both hands. I finally figured out the easier way to learn the scales is to know the major scales real well, then alter the major ones a little to get the other scales. It all seems overwheming. I hope it'll all fall into place. Talk to you later. Thanks again!
marilyn : hey. no one is writing. I'll check on here another day.
marilyn : what's up the the number question? Hmm. No one wrote back to me so, I;ll have to get going. I work 10 hrs./day and have lots to do when I get home. So, I'm very busy. I have a little time off right now and figured I'd write. So, if you don't hear from me in a while, it's because I have a real hectic schedule. Otherwise I'd be on here more often. Nice to meet everyone!!
marilyn : Oh oh my messages are not showing up
marilyn : Hello?
marilyn : I've been having trouble writing on here for some reason. This is a test. I'll keep trying.
mav04 : I really really really appreciate the e-book. I didn't think I could remember the chords, but I do know them pretty well. I'm starting to practice the scales-seems like so many! I don't think I can remember all of that. Do we have to remember every scale by heart? And when is the other e-book going to be available? Again. Thank you so very very much!!!
eftekar : hiiiiiii

Pianissimo : Wow this place sure has changed since the last time I was here, I literally love the new classical music sheet background absolutly superb, please accept my apology I did not have enough time to make my frequent vists as I did in the past and I find it a bit unfortuante for me that I could not view the whole transformation of the website piece by piece but may I say this looks absolutly beautiful I will go have a few clicks around and enjoy the gift you and your wonderful team have bestowed upon us

Sarah : Hey ,,Thanks Rod for Allevaiting for me ,,and Thanks for every thing .JUST LIKE YOU SAID at LEAST I can keep the keyboard but its not like My piano.Your work is just great And your All doing a Fantastic job....You are graet Rod... ,Stay in touch Peace
Rod : Hi Sarah! They are selling your piano ... Will you be able to keep a keyboard at least? Or you won't be able to play anymore? What a pity! To answer your question: Most of our team is from US and Canada - writers, editors, musicians- and then we have many others from many parts of the world -pianists, graphic designers, developers, and musicians- from Puerto Rico, India, Philipiness, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Greece, Brasil... and myself from Argentina! So yes, we are looking forward to change piano the way people learn piano in the whole world. We want all pianists to be able to improvise and compose their own music, instead of just being able to read music from a score. Help pianists not only be 'interpreters' and let them become 'musicians'. And that is really everyone's mission in this team. We are almost done with the redesign of our site !
Sarah : any way they are going to sell my piano this weekend bye

Guest_2897 : HELLO
Rod : Hi Franc (Guest 4708)! Thank you so much for you suggestion and your email! I did look at the site, it looks very intresting. I will get back to you by email! Thanks so much for everything!
Rod : Hi Oscar! So good to see you! Thank you so much for your support . I have good news! "The Logic Behind Music" might be released really soon, if we keep on schedule, we will be expecting to release our Digital Home Study Course no latter than two weeks, and even maybe next week! I am sure you'll agree it was worth the waiting. It's looking really fantastic. And thank you so much for all your support. I truly appreciatte it . Send me an email to «email» and I will give you access to the beta testers area! You're just in time as we're opening the public beta-testing for VIP followers. And yes, you're in the VIP list I'll be sending an invitation too some other people you might know, Cres, Pianissimo, Shindoh, and some few others Then after some more testing, we'll be opening up for ALL our followers, step by step!
Guest_4708 : Hey ROD !!! How are you? Do you studied my suggestion to take a look at Midiillustrator. com ? I use this software and I think it can be usefull to you guys to explain concepts much more easy.
Oscar : Hi rod, when do now estimate the release of the course. How can one get access the to beta testers area?
Rod : Hi Guest1111: Feel free to leave a message if no one is online at the moment
Rod : So Smokey, my best recommendation would be for you to concentrate on understanding how music really works, and once you know that, playing technique will come along and develop much more easily, as you'll be in the path of playing the piano (or any other instrument) with freedom and mastery, since you'll be truly understanding what you play. I suggest you download our Music Fundamentals eBook, which will give you an introduction to many of the concepts that changed everything for me (free of charge for all our followers/ subscribers). And soon... you'll be able to enjoy our Digital Home Study Course "The Logic Behind Music" that contains all these simple but powerful concepts plus the experiences of all the musicians of our team, and that will give you a new perspective on how you see music. I am completely sure that this course will give you a very solid foundation for preparing you for you career and I look forward to hearing more about you . Feel free to contact me at my email if you need anything: «email» . Best wishes!, Rod
Rod : "How long will it take a person to go from novice to advanced?" - you ask. Well, it depends. It depends on how many hours you dedicate to practice and study, and that if you have the right tools or not. I play piano for more than 15 years, and I can tell you that my first ten years were filled with frustration and no progress as I didn't have the right tools nor the right teacher. Then, after quitting piano several times, I found a teacher that taught me some very simple but powerful concepts... that changed everything for me. In less than 6 months I was already able to compose and create my own music, and freely improvise on the piano! These concepts really changed EVERYTHING for me, and now I can tell you that I enjoy playing piano in whole different way. Not only these concepts let you create your own music, but also let you understand any score from another composer, predict what chord will come next in many cases, and really see music from a whole new way.
Rod : Hi Smokey! Thanks for your interest and your comment . We have just updated our site, and integrated our new community and our new Products page! Volume 1 of our Digital Home Study Course will be released this month and Volume 2 is expected to take at least another month. We'll be releasing Volume 1 first to all the people that have been following and supporting and us, for a special discounted price, and then we'll make the official release! So, you may still join our mailing list here if you want to be one of the first to know: «link» . Then, let me answer your second question...
Guest_1111 : Rod, are you on?
Guest_1111 : hello is anyone on?
Smokey : I really need to know when this is going released. I'm going to college in January to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Music Composition, and this would be a HUGE help. I hope it's this year. How long will it take a person to go from novice to advanced playing?
Rod : Pianissimo, I also happened to stumble with Arrau's piano teaching conferences. They seem to be really interesting, did you see this? (By the way, expect an email from me tomorrow, I'll be updating you with some good news ) Cheers!
Rod : Hi Pianissimo!!! I saw the video you posted. I must say I am really impressed . I saw the video three times! You couldn't have any answered better . Arrau speaks very intelligent and wise words. I think it would be any composer's dream to have a performer that dedicates so much time to study a piece as he does. I would have to say, I definitely agree with the idea he transmits, for serious performers. Performers like him, actually make a new piece of art of the composers' piece, by making it their own. THANK you for such wonderful video! I really loved it!
Rod : Hi Paramorefreak! It's hard to find scores of bands for free... (for Classical music you can try «link» ). I suggest you learn chord progressions and how to harmonize, once you know that you will be able to pick any song by ear and even improvise over it Good luck with the song!
Jessicanog : I really liked this post. Can I copy it to my site? Thank you in advance.
CLABSTECT : eh... funny.
Paramorefreak. : I've tried playing it by ear but I cant do that one.
Paramorefreak. : Hey can ANYONE give me the sheet for Paramore's emergency intro from their Final Riot! CD?
Pianissimo : I forgot! Arrau also agreed!
Pianissimo : Hello Rod! I read it and did some researching and as we all know if you have a statement you always need to find a reputable source and here is mine «link» and well of course horowitz!

Rod : Well that was a long post! Lovely performance of Horowitz
Rod : Hi Pianissimo! Interesting thoughts Indeed Horowitz was an incredible pianist. And Rachmaninoff was an amazing composer. However, as a pianist and composer myself, it's interesting to think about your point of view. I think that if a composer would take the same amount of time to practice a single piece as a concert pianist would do, his performance would be better. I think that the composer ultimately would be able to transmit the emotions better, as it was himself who composed the piece with a true meaning. While the pianist would have to research and 'guess' the meaning of the piece in order to produce a great performance. However, it might be the case, that ultimately, both could do a great job. There are some pieces, that don't have a definitive closing or interpretation, and so maybe a pianist can find a different meaning to a piece and make a new 'work' out of it, with a new interpretation, thus making a more profound performance than the composer himself... or in the cases where a pianist can actually get in touch with the composer, it's very possible that the pianist could do a better job in some cases. In the case of Rachmaninoff and Horowitz, probably it was the case that Horowitz was able to transmit Rachmaninoff's emotions as intended. Scores are just notes, with some dynamics, and tempo suggestions, and that's why there are so many interpretations of different works. In my case (although I could be wrong) I think that there are some of my pieces -not all of them, just a few special ones- that no one could interpret better than myself. It's not an act of arrogance, but rather the fact that some of these special pieces have been created from very special circumstances that have lived and have occurred across time. I certainly think there are pianists that could play that particular piece better (technically), but I am not sure they would be able to transmit the emotions as well... Although it would certainly be an honor to give it a try (maybe they could relate it to their own stories and thus make a great performance). Then, other pieces (which I do not compose completely at the piano but also write) and do not have such a profound meaning, then I would certainly agree that a pianist could do a better job... Still it's an interesting discussion
Pianissimo : I hope that was not very confusing. «link»
Pianissimo : Rod "Would Rachmaninoff be the best pianist for Rachmaninoff ?" My answer would be a big blunt NO. The reason is because 1. Rachmaninoff is a composer and he composes not just one piece over a hundred pieces for example lets say he was composing one of his prelude how long would it take? 1 month? 1 year? 3 years? On the other hand a performer takes the same piece and performs it for the rest of his life! Therefore the performer himself CREATES an understanding of the prelude linking it to his real life/events which are continuous not at a period of time of which the piece was composed. 2. Rachmaninoff admitted that Horowitz plays his own compositions better and he actually GAVE HIM the authority to fiddle with the pieces if necessary.

pipio : Hello brother, I liked your book very much I hope you will finish it soon and publish it for us. It is one of the most wonderful books I have ever seen. It goes very inline with the way I wanted to learn. Play something from anywhere across the board... awesome!!! It is very peacuful to keep doing the same.
pipio : Hi Bro,
Rod : Hi everyone! Check out the latest blog post here: «link» ! Stayed tuned for more news next week! Happy Easter and Passover to everyone!!!!
Rod : Pianissimo! Thanks for the translation and heads up! I deleted the russian spam comment and translation ... back to the topic.. Would Rachmaninoff be the best pianist for Rachmaninoff ? See you soon!
Pianissimo : Liszt Arrau/ Rachmaninoff without doubt Horowitz
Rod : I'll start with: Chopin: Horowitz, Rubenstein - Bach: Glenn Gould
Rod : For everyone else: who do you think are the best pianists for each composer?
Rod : Pianissimo have a good night! Sweet dreams! Yes, we'll stay in touch soon! Thanks for everything and hope to see you around agian soon!
Rod : Ohh.. we sure got a time difference Here it's 2:24 pm. Almost 12 hours!
Pianissimo : Yea he has quite the touch when it comes to Bach 3:25AM
Rod : What time is there?
Pianissimo : I need to get to bed + my internet is killing me alive So I suppose I will see you soon Rod!
Rod : wow.. I am surprised.. Vedermikov is really lovely. I haden't listened to him before .
Pianissimo : Thanks:D
Rod : Of course (obvious to mention), I'll be in touch with you guys so you have the first sneak peak of the community and give you an beta account before anyone else
Rod : Anatoly Vedernikov is quite lovely... (listening right now)
Rod : Andras Schiff... yes! I actually have a cd from him now that I recall! haha . Although I liked much better Gould and Martha Argerich performances of Bach at time
Pianissimo : Schiff for Bach!
Rod : Schiff is very good.. but for which composer? Rubenstein is also very good for Chopin
Rod : I will be posting a blog update today, with the details. We'll upgrading our servers probably today, and we will begin with the alpha testing of our new community by giving just a few invitations to early testers! Then we'll expand to VIP members, and then the whole list of followers, as we polish up all the features. Have you seen the screenshots I posted before? It's looking super nice! «link»
Pianissimo : I do adore Anatoly Vedernikov Bach interpertations «link»
Pianissimo : What about schiff?:P
Rod : I am very well thanks! I have GREAT news! 1) This shoutbox has been improved... no longer messages will be trimmed... so everyone will be able to leave any size messages! 2) We could be having this same conversation about the 'greatest pianists' in The Piano Encyclopedia's COMMUNITY FORUMS!!!!! Very soon!!!
Rod : Let me answer your previous post regarding who is 'the best pianist'! I agree with you... there are certain questions with no answers... Horowitz.. Hofmann.. great pianists! HOWEVER, I think that still there are some 'favorites' for each composer. I think almost every pianist had a composer which they liked better , and undersood more, and thus focused more and played better. I think it would be intresting for everyone who say who are the 'best' or their favorites for each composer. Certainly some pianists are more popular for different composers. And I am certainly a fan of Gould (as you all might be aware by now!) but certainly Gould would not be my favorite for Chopin. Although... his playing of the var 25 of the Goldberg Variations.. is very popular as it sounds like a Chopin piece... and sounds quite lovely! «link»
Pianissimo : Im fine thank you yourself?
Rod : How are you doing?!
Rod : Great to find you! Yes long time we don't meet!
Rod : Hi!!!
Pianissimo : XD so long time no see how are you going Rod!
Pianissimo : Stupid operator won'tpick up been 30 mins on phone
Pianissimo : I do apologize my net is a bit stupid as usual
Rod : By the way, thank you Shindoh for sharing that video! Final Fantasy music is very nice. Poor Reuben... AND Stecetugovese - welcome to our site!!! It will be great to see you around. Tell us a bit more about you
Rod : I was about to reply your messages! It's great to find you here!
Rod : Hi Pianissimo!!!!
Pianissimo : sorry previous link didnt work well «link»
Pianissimo : Concluding Sorry... no answer! «link» tube.com/watch?v =DvG15UKqDVA&fea ture=channel
Pianissimo : this thing isnt working
Pianissimo : There are certain question with no answers! In art we have such an "explosive" mixture of objective and subjective, that the answer will depend on who is asking and what parameters we would use to determine "the best". Should we consider Hofmann the best because he could play ANY piece he's ever heard at ANY given time? Should we consider Horowitz, whose repertoire was probably the smallest among great pianists? Or Richter - whose overall achievements are unsurpassed? May be Rachmaninoff? S
Pianissimo : Rod the question is a bit tricky I would say what my friend Andre would say...
Pianissimo : RIP
Shindoh : «link»
Shindoh : A great person and a great pianist and he was so young: «link» ! -Reuben Kee-
Stecetugovese : Great site this pianoencyclopedi a.com and I am really pleased to see you have what I am actually looking for here and this this post is exactly what I am interested in. I shall be pleased to become a regular visitor
Rod : Dante! Thanks to you! And Pianissimo, that's a lovely video by the greatest pianist Vladimir Sofronitsky! Thanks so much for sharing . He is really wonderful playing Liszt; however, "the greatest pianist"? I must disagree and I certainly defy your startment! haha He certainly could be the best for Liszt, but I don't know if there is a match to the genius of "Glenn Gould" for Bach. Guys listen to this video: «link» ! What a complete genius!!! Who is everyone's favorite pianist?
Rod : Hi Cres!!! It's wonderful to see you here too! Great to see all you guys here!! ! . I have received emais from some of you! Thanks! You'll get the secret sneak-peeks from me soon
Pianissimo : «link» Here is where I can argue that this one of the greatest pianist if not the greatest! Anyone which to defy the statement?!
Dante : whoa.. thank you for the response. i definitely think your going to like the upcoming interactive lessons by pianoencyclopedi a. it will be worth the wait.. thank you rod for everything
Cres : Oh, the Guest_2037 post was from Cres. I don't know why my user name suddenly has disappeared
Guest_2037 : Hi Rod! Great to hear that your next release is close. Exciting to hear about your progress with the Piano Encyclopedia website as well And hello to Dante. Thanks for your contribution!
Shindoh : Hey Dante! Thank You for joining in and for Your contributions!
Rod : Charolastras Dante!!! Good to see you here too! Guys, meet Dante from Philipiness! He is part of our team, and is a graphic designer and musician that has been helping us design some really cool interactive graphics for our lessons! He is an amazing guy and a very talented in what he does. Soon.. I'll be posting the previews of those
Rod : We have not decided yet if we are going to officially release Volume 1 first, or wait for the completition of Volume 2 and release everything together. Still guys, each of you SEND ME AN EMAIL to «email» and I'll be giving you a sneak peek and showing you the first edition of Volume 1 which will be finished by next week!
Rod : Let me make an announcement so you guys get the first new before anyone else! Our next release is called "The Logic Behind Music: Mastering the secrets to Music Composition and Improvisation in a Practical Way". It will be The Piano Encyclopedia's first "Digital Home-Study Course"! . The reason it's no longer called The Piano Encyclopedia's "Main Lessons", is because the lessons we have finished writing are so complete, and we have packed them with so much content, that it is really a Home Study Course what we have finally achieved in the last months. It spans over two full-multimedia volumes, with interactive piano-charts, and tools for matering composing and improvising! And Volume 1 will be finished by NEXT WEEK! Volume 2 will take us at least two weeks or three more. Also, as we finished with the writing we had more time to dedicate it to the community, which will be completely integrated to the Digital-Home Study Course, so everyone can join the conversation and ask questions. Also a new graphic designer from Puerto Rico joined our team and we did a completely redesign! So we'll be ready for the first Public alpha release in the next two weeks. Take a sneak peek here: «link» !
Rod : Hi Everyone!!!! So many familiar names! Glad to see you all! Pausing!? NOT AT ALL!!! Even though we haven't published blog updated, we have been working like crazy over the past months! The reason we are indeed taking longer is because we decided to add more stuff in, we got more people to join the team, and so we expanded the content, interactive graphics, sound and everything. Sorry it took so long! But I am sure you'll all agree it was definetely worth it!
Shindoh : Please tell me You aren't pausing now, that first report was such a big success, and You did say over many months again it all was already close tocompletion, what happened?
Shindoh : Hey Rod!
Oscar : Hey Rod, was hoping that the encyclopedia would be released now. You promised feb. there is an anticipated feeling of hope to all budding piano players.
Pianissimo : Sorry totally forgot, how foolish! «link»
Dante : Cool Site.. Charolastras !!
Pianissimo : Thank you very much:D I'm looking forward into reading the next release! Anything new going on?
Pianissimo : Thank you very much:D I
Rod : Pianissimo!!! So good to see you! I am glad to see you back. I hope things are beter over there. It will be wonderful that you will be here more often, your absence was definetely noted! I have good news over here, we'll be making our release in the next very few weeks! So I am very happy! Thank you for another wonderful video of Sofronitsky, I remember that pianist from your previous recommendations Stay in touch!!!
Pianissimo : It has been a while since I have been on, I do apologize for my absence life seems to be grabbing me from my throat more oftenly nowadays:P. I will try to appear more often! As for now I leave you with this «link»
Pianissimo : Hello Rod!
Rod : Hello Oscar!!! Thanks so much for your support! We're very VERY close to the release!!! Keep in touch! Cheers!
Marki : Hey there! Does someone know where I could find the sheets of Requiem For A Dream?
Oscar : Hi rod. I think i visit your blog more often than i do. I am keenly awaiting the release so that I can make some headway
Alexwebmaster : Hello webmaster I would like to share with you a link to your site write me here «email»
Rod : All of this is looking great, and I assure it's worth while the waiting and the extra time we've been working on it! I am really happy with our results! So, the waiting is almost over... I expect for us to be done with everything in about a month, hopefully less. Feel free to contact by email ( «email» ) and stay in touch! Thanks!
Rod : The concept behind one of them is similar to what could be a painter's color pallette that has only the compatible colors necessary to realize a painting. You choose the key and the scale, and it gives you back all the 'basic colors' (chords) that match, categorized according to their level of tension. So it actually feels like 'painting' music, but always with the right colors, and with all the logic behind it explained and shown visually. It's looking pretty neat!
Rod : Hi Guest3605! (What's your name by the way? ) I am really glad you're looking forward to the release. We're now working on polishing up the graphics, and finishing some interactive tools that will complete the overall experience. For example, these are used to show how music works using real songs examples (by grouping the chords according to their level of tension, as we have introduced in Music Fundamentals); and also, to let you create your own music and chord progressions...
Guest_3605 : Rod you promised to release the final version by mid feb. How much longer is it going to take? cant wait longer
Rod : Bruce! Thank you so much for your fantastic comment! And YES! ...there is logic behind music! It's a real pity that only a few people know this... but once you discover how everything works together... possiblities are really- endless! I have received your email too and I am really glad that our Music Fundamentals eBook has really helped you! I'll be writing you back very soon. Let's stay in touch
Rod : However, if you want to stay in sync also with the comments from other pianists an join the conversation, feel free to add «link» to your RSS reader too. For all others that don't use RSS reader, you also use email subscription for both comments and the blog. If you're still having problems, feel free to email me! Stay in touch!
Rod : Hi Music_Quiequel! I'll be glad to help you add our site to your RSS reader . To stay up to date with our blog posts, just add: «link» ...
Bruce : Thank You! Thank You! as a retired engineer with no musical experience, you have made an apparent arbitiary system logical. All I need now is a little hand coordination...
Music_Mp3_quiequel : Hello to all I can’t understand how to add your site in my rss reader. Help me, please
Rod : We're working really hard on the final version, polishing up the new chapters, working out the final graphics for the interactive animations. We're very close to finishing everything, so I am hoping to have the final version released by mid February . Make sure to stay in touch (this is my email: «email» ), and I would love hear more from you guys! Cheers!

Rod : Hi idra! Thanks for the heads up! Yes, it should say "(or one note less than a *Major* Third Interval), we'll be fixing that in a minute. Feel free to download the eBook tomorrow again to get the updated version! Thanks and make sure to tell me more about you! Stay in touch, cheers!
Older_Men_Personal : I'll bookmark your site! Keep it up.
Older_Men_Personal : Enjoyed your site very much. Thank you!
Jackoucky : Seldom I write comments but resource really cool
idra : I think is wrong
idra : Minor Third Interval = two notes separated by 3 Half-tones (or one note less than a Minor Third Interval) Minor Chord = Perfect Fifth + Minor Third Interval (or build up a Minor chords and lower the third one note)
idra : and Minor Chord = Perfect Fifth + Minor Third Interval (or build up a Minor chords and lower the third one note)
idra : Minor Third Interval = two notes separated by 3 Half-tones (or one note less than a Minor Third Interval)
idra : Check page 92 of encyclopedia fundamental is written:

Rod : Español! Siiii! Yes we plan to translate it into Spanish next year! Stay in touch (Planeamos traducirla al español el año que viene. Mantenete en contacto. Saludos!!! )
Rod : Hi Guest4598! I really understand completely what you mean. I've been there too, making up a song in my head but having no clue on how to play it on the piano. Guessing which chords go well and not being able to get them right, loosing track, and forgetting everything -really frustrating. Luckily with just very simple but powerful concepts you'll see how everything comes together! Knowing in which scale your new tune is, you'll be able to figure out which chords to play with your left hand; and knowing which chords to play, you'll be able to know with which notes you can use embellish your current melody. I wish I had learned all these concepts ten years ago! You can't imagine how many years of endless frustration I would have saved! The harmonization of the scales, and how chords and scales relate together is the KEY, so once you get that concepts, you'll be able to easily play anything you want Let me share one trick with you: every scale can be harmonized with just 7 basic chords! You can then enrich your harmony, but the trick is tha you don't need to know 4000 chords to make good music, and that's it not guesswork! Once you to understand how a the simple concept of seeing music as creating tension and release works, with your chords and scales, you'll be creating your music in no time. I look foward to knowing more about you, and good news is that the Main Piano Encyclopedia lessons are almost ready, showing everything you're looking forward to learn, and explaining step-by-step how to master composition, improvisation, and understanding music! Stay in touch, Rod
Guest_731 : hi there
RaroSwemwer : Hi! My name is Jessika!
Guest_4598 : looking forward to this. Im really looking for something that can helpe me get my ideas out FAST. You see i LOVE MAKING MUSIC, but when i try to put down the song in my head, I take so long figuring out the chords that i forget what i was thinking about
