A New Perspective on Bach
Thursday, March 12, 2010 | Posted by Jay One of my most treasured hobbies is playing the piano. Since I dropped formal studies not 2 years after I started (at the age of five...very Asian I know), I've been learning on my own by playing out my basic piano lessons books and trying out a few more formal pieces by Beethoven, Mozart, and even the semi-modern Ravelle.
So about a week ago I decided to give Bach a try too. And came across this youtube video (cracked me up) - it's Bach in Vocaloid!! *w*
There are a few resources I use to find free classical sheet music. The way copyright works in the US is, if the original copyright has not been renewed within 95 years, it's considered Public Domain (i.e. a completely free resource). Which is why these sites can exist:- classicaland.com
This is my personal favorite - it's a goldmine of classical music, organized by composer. PDF format. - sheetmusicarchive.net
Not my favorite, but my second choice if I can't find anything on Classicaland. They have a limit of 2 downloads per day (which is annoying if you're not 100% sure what you're looking for), but they've got a good selection. - IMSLP Petrucci Music Library
I should probably use this resource more than I have. It's a very well-organized database, and you can download in PDF format with no limits. My only complaint is you do have to navigate quite a bit to get to the files. But I imagine once you get the hang of it, it's not a problem.

It very well that this time of age when this media can make inferences into the past's greatest achievers!

Hahaha that was awesome! Which only proves more that Bach was a genius :D

That Vocaloid video is sooo funny and cute! I'm actually starting to get into music again. I've had the longest hiatus from playing the flute and I don't even know if I can consider piano as an instrument I play anymore -.- but it's great that you play out of your own interest. Bach is pretty amazing, not that Beethoven and Mozart are less amazing.

Like most asians, i've had formal piano lessons too. I stopped at grade 6 (piano grade). But i still continue playing once in a while. I also enjoy the classical music. Most of the music scores i have are from that genre. :D Thanks for the links to those sites. I hope i have the time to try some of the songs there. I've been downloading so many and have a long list of them to be tried out. xD
And LOL! I never even imagined Vocoloid doing Bach. xD ROFL!

I never got to play the piano long but I learned enough and still remember to be able to try again if I wanted too.
I played the violin more so it probably helps me to remember how to read music. xD
LMFAO Vocaloid in Bach. LOL
