Timing is the most important thing in Music according to Mozart. Are you trying to say that a harpsichord does not allow variations of timing?

No chefs use better ingredients because that leads to better tasting food. As music is a communication method of emotions from human to human, a better instrument is one that leverages emotions. Hand made instruments are far better in this

My only possible conclusion of your saying is that you have never heard a good big orchestra.

Great, and what does it mean?

I did not say that I can not perform on a MP10. I regularly do, because of practical reasons. All I said is that the Hofmann or any other hand made piano is much better because it has a soul. Just look in the worlds concert halls and see wh

It is known that Bach improvised about his works during performances. That means he even left the written notes.

If you can not understand the difference between these instruments and a for example a Kawai MP10 than any discussion is meaningless.

Do you understand the concept of a example?

Do you know and understand the painting "This is not a pipe" by Margritte?

You say that a computer is equivalent to an orchestra?
462.
by holri 13y ago
No, the TI99/4A had no understanding of music. You have to have emotions to understand music. A Computer does not have emotions.

Have you ever played a Bösendorfer Imperial?

Do you play an analog instrument?

Music does not exist until the moment it is played. Therefore you need the performance to create art out of a composition. Computers can not create art.

If the composer writes music that is not even playable by himself, then this music is never played by a human. Therefore a soul to soul communication to the listener is impossible.

We are talking about MIDI sequences that are not producible by humans. If no human can produce those sequences, how can they have human soul?

I do not doubt that. But to return to the original point, a good instrument has a soul, as a good musician has. My digital-Kawai does not have one, my analog Hofmann has. My musical skills have nothing to do with that.

The OP mentioned MIDI music that is not playable by humans.

No it is not. There is no orchestra. There is an context less, static description of tones, called sheet music or MIDI. These description gets transformed to music whenever a musician plays it or to a set of soulless notes if a computer pla

You mean good musicians do not distinguish good and bad instruments?

I have a Kawai MP10 digital Piano and an old hand made analog Hofmann piano. If I play for example just the last Chord (6 Notes) of Chopin Prelude op. 28/4 on the Hofmann the music goes deep through every nerve. Nothing comparable hap

A computer can not paint like Leonardo Da Vinci. He can not write like Shakespeare. And he can not play music like Sviatlosav Richter. A prush, pencil, and musical instrument that can not be used by humans is therefore useless.

The problem lies in the context. If we speak to each other we take human context into account. So does a musical interpret. It is just another medium. Music instead of words. A computer does not understand human context. This has already be

No soul, is not imprecision. It is the expression of humans feelings in form of variation of duration, velocity, loudness. For example speed in music is like speed in breathing. You are not breathing with the same speed all the time. It dep

A human interpretation of sheet music is a 3 tier soul transformation. Composer - Interpret - Listener. Computer played music has an digital filter that eliminates a lot of soul in between. Music notation is only a recipe for making music.

In the C64 days I programmed my TI99/4A to play Bach. It sounded awful. The interpretation had no soul. Soul is not blind testable, like art, because it comes from the heart, not the brain.

Handmade Pianos have souls. The soul of the technician that built it. This is why the best Pianos like Bösendorfer and Steinways are still built manually.

As Frank Zappa said music notation is like a recipe. He also said eating the recipe is crazy. Hearing computer played notes is like eating the recipe.

As a pianist I do not understand the purpose of music that is not playable by humans. In my understanding music is a communication method between human souls. A computer has no soul, likewise Black MIDI "music".
