Le Coucou - Daquin
What is the instrument used in Le Coucou? On the album, "25 Candlelight Favorites".It's called:Pieces de Clavacin for harpsichord, 1st book - Le Coucou by Claude DaquinI know it says it's for harpsichord but, unless I am wrong, it doesn't sound like one.

The piece was definitely originally composed for harpsichord, but on the album '25 Candlelight Favourites' it is performed on the organ.
Royal College and Academy of Music Auditions? I'm a pianist (14 years old) and started to play seriously about four years agoi'm auditioning for both but i don't know how good you have to be, cause all the audition requirements are really high! i'm playing two grade 7/8-ish pieces: chopin waltz in e minor posth. and le coucou by daquin. ic an do aural but my sight readings a bit dodgy, one good thing is i have a reference from my head of music, which i guess helps :) and i'm really passionate and commiteddo i stand a chance?
I don't know what the audition requirements are there, or what their standards are, but if it's anything like in the states, then the answer is probably no...Of course I can't judge to well from a short paragraph, and I would really have to hear you play, but you don't give the impression of being a serious student. That's not to question your commitment and dedication; I just consider there to be a difference between a 'student' and a serious student, one who studies at conservatory and performs and competes for the next decade without any serious recognition. I don't really know what the 'grades' are that you say you're at, but I can tell you that no serious student of the piano would need to reference them. At the level you have to be at to get into good schools of music in America, you should already be able to master pretty much anything on your own, because you're not going to a conservatory to be taught technique. You're going to learn the distinguished tradition of interpretation and musicality that can usually be traced back to some big names in music (my line of teachers goes back to Liszt, Beethoven, Czerny, Debussy, Tanyev, Chopin...). Thus, when you're at conservatory, you may find yourself working just as hard on a technically simple Mozart sonata as on some gargantuan, complex piece by Liszt or Stravinsky. Again, if these places are anything like in the states, the audition requirements would already seem to be a bit over your head. I imagine that they would require a classical sonata movement or a full sonata, for which you would likely want a good Beethoven. This alone can make or break your audition; your treatment of something so classic as Beethoven counts for a lot in the minds of the judges. You'd also need an etude, probably by Liszt, Chopin, Scriabin etc.; this is basically to show off your technical skill, so there's no chance of getting away with an easy one unless your interpretation is simply amazing. They will know if you play a mediocre rendition of a 'simple' Chopin etude that you chose it to avoid having to perform technical feats above your skill level. Besides a few other requirements that tend to vary between specific schools, you'd need a Bach prelude and fugue, which will definitely be the hardest piece you've ever played. A fugue is a mean thing to master in any medium, but particularly so on a keyboard instrument. There's so much to think about musically, then there's the mechanics of making every voice sound well-phrased and continuous. It takes a long time for a professional to polish a fugue the way he wants it, so it's a high standard to meet for a beginning student. It's also something you'd definitely need a teacher's assistance on. My best advice to you is to study with the best teachers you can until college age (18 in the UK too?) and then ask them what's up. I didn't apply to conservatories on graduating high school; I wasn't ready, so I went to a state school to continue study with my current teacher, who is actually a Julliard grad. I don't know if schooling and degrees are equivalent in the UK, but here's what he told me: 'No one cares where you do your undergraduate studies, often even your masters studies. If you want a real career in music, you need a doctorate, and seeing as there's no chance of you getting into a top-rank conservatory right now, you may as well study somewhere cheaper and more intermediate until you've reached the skill level you need to get into a conservatory.' That was all directed at me, but it applies to you perfectly. Find a good teacher, possibly at a small college or university, and study at that level until they think you are conservatory material.
Decent Piano Pieces to Learn? Hi. I need 2 or 3 suggestions for a new piano piece to learn. Over the past few months I have been playing....SolfeggiettoGiorni Dispari-EinaudiChopin Prelude in E MinorLe Coucou-DaquinFur EliseLets Call The Whole Thing Off-GershwinI have also been practising other things around Grade 5/6 ABRSM and I am looking for a piece which is challenging but realistic for me to learn in around a month. It would also be great if the Key Signature is not too difficult.Also, anything by Chopin-I ADORE, so any easier pieces would be great.Or Even something Lively. Many Thankssss :D
allpianoscores.com/index.php?free_scores=ChopinHere's every Chopin piece of music that ever existed since you love Chopin. You can choose what piece to learn from there. You can print the music straight from your printer using a PDF file.
Something lively: Beethoven Sonata Op. 49 No. 2By Chopin: Funeral March from Sonata No. 2
Give some Mozart a go. His famous c major sonata k.545 is very good for your technique and ability to keep in time. It's doable in a month and it's also very patterned so that makes it easier. If youre into the Chopin, I'd try some of his mazurkas, his c major is simple and quick if you want a short one. His minute waltz is good, but the ornaments and trills may be difficult to overcome in a short amount of time. Hope this helped. Good luck!
I learned "Phantom of the Opera" in a couple weeks. Also, from the same music book, play, and movie "Music of the Night". Neither of these are insanely hard pieces, although I'm having a hard time playing the bass clef with it, I will get the hang of it eventually, but Music of the Night is fairly easy. I hope I helped.
here are some of my favourite pieces, hope you like them too :)ludovico einaudi - le onde and I giornifaure - romance sans parolesmichael nyman - the heart asks pleasure first and big my secret (this one is more challenging but i learnt it when i was at grade 6 level)yiruma - love meliszt - lieberstraum
i know its not classical, but anything by yann tiersen. some of his stuff is more difficult to play, but songs like comptine d'un autre ete: l'apres midi or l'absente are pretty easy to play
