tried classical ??

I’m talking romantic era circa 1870. rachmaninoff, tchaikovsky, sibelius, saint-saëns, and even later composers like scriabin and ravel. I’ve recently been fixated on sibelius symphony no. 2 and ravel piano concerto in g (the second movement definitely being the most emotional). oh, and this is neoromantic but I can’t pass up an opportunity to recommend ennio morricone’s compositions. I recently relistened to the guiseppe tornatore suite and it’s just wave after wave of bliss from the sonic landscape. I hate to be that pretentious classical music guy but I just really like talking about it lol.

I lean toward pieces that give high reward for less effort when im trying to start playing again

so these might be a little easier and flashy lol: -liebesleid by Fritz kreisler (♥️) -the suzuki version of correlli’s la folia variations -3326 by olafur arnalds (contemporary pop classical composer, he has some gorgeous chamber stuff) -czardas by vittorio monti (sampled by lady gaga lol) -slower pieces that let me rebuild my technique without panicking that I can’t get myself up to tempo: meditation from Thais by massenet, 2nd movement of the vivaldi violin concerto in a minor enjoy playing again, this is making me want to pull out my violin too!!

Start climbing

Please start climbing.. I started like a month ago and it’s now it’s a sizeable chunk of what I think about every day. It’s an addiction and feels like a fun little game😺Also if you have no upper body strength it’s a nice way to get (somewhat) stronger—more obviously if you pursue it seriously.
