yesterday's piano class was very interesting. ms chin's using the new method of physics. like, science in music. totally new approach. i dunno lar. something about F= ma and natural frequency. because basically playing the piano requires a lot of physics. so F is the sound produced, a is the acceleration of the finger down onto the key and mass is moi. In the Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven Opus 27 no. 2 1st movement, the entire piece is full of melancholic identical triplets throughout. so in order to maintain the sound, the speed and the way the finger drops onto the keyboard must be equal since the mass "m" wont change. And because every person has a different *ahem* mass ( like me...tres grosse) and different acceleration, everyone's freefall sound will be their own. completely original. COOL.
