Episode 4: Living the High-Res Life: an interview with piano technician Marc Wienert

In this episode of Music to Compose You, I am thrilled to have renowned piano technician and tuner Marc Wienert on the broadcast. It's not everyday that a novel is written about a piano tuner. And yet, a book about a piano obsession turned into a NYT bestseller and it features our guest, Marc Wienert. The reason is that piano tuning is much more than the sum of its parts. Marc Wienert brings a holistic mind, spirit and aesthetic approach to his craft. His musings about the world of piano and beyond will open up portals of discovery. In today's episode, Part 1 of 2, we talk about: - How Marc pivoted from composing music to a life where the piano became center stage. - His approach tuning pianos to pitches outside the norm and the effects in body, mind and spirit. -Why "Pythagorus set the goal posts" and how Marc applies ancient wisdom to his craft. -Marc shares 2 experiences that were transformational to his getting to the highest level of his mastery. -Why the 'good stuff' really doesn't happen until you reach a high point of excellence (98-99.8%) in tuning and beyond... -Alignments, attitude, architypes -What is with the Steinway sound? -Why vibration is the 'brick and mortar' of the universe... And so much more! Don't miss today's foray into an extraordinary mind and meeting with the incredible Marc Wienert.

Episode 3: Intuition and Heart Knowledge: 3 strategies to navigate the storms of life

In today’s episode of the program we explore Beethoven’s serenely peaceful 2nd movement. It is the eerily calm centerpiece flanked by two tempestuous outer movements. In some ways, it is the eye of the hurricane, a place of crystalline calm amidst the terror of the darkness. The music asks: Where is your peace found? We will explore this theme in a kaleidoscope of reference points, ranging from Rembrandt’s masterful painting, ‘Calming the Storm’ to exploring the new science around heart coherence. In today’s episode: ● The 3 strategies to achieve inner peace the during stressful situations ● Exploring the Storm at Sea painting by Rembrandt: Can you find yourself in this picture? ● How to fine tune your frequency in times of stress and overcome its toxic effects ● Explore the science of heart coherence and gain a powerful strategy for physical, mental and emotional balance. ● How to trust your intuition by tapping into this little known secret… Join Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/musictocomposeyou?fan_landing=true&view_as=public Visit: https://www.musictocomposeyou.com/ https://black-wind-5691.ck.page/2c3de6ab4e https://www.musictocomposeyou.com/heavensmelody https://www.musictocomposeyou.com/goldentone Follow on: https://www.youtube.com/@MargaretWacyk https://www.instagram.com/margaretwacyk/ https://www.facebook.com/margaret.wacyk/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4xaE4Sqth5m1o9qcks0jSV?si=_jcWikAGSgSNf39hozRu9w&nd=1&dlsi=5730afb68f134237 Want to create live streams like this?

Episode 1: Getting Hammered: Beethoven meets Rocky Balboa in a heroic struggle

You haven't heard Beethoven like this.... Rocky Balboa meets Ludwig von Beethoven in a metaphorical ring of drama, suspense and heroic struggle. Leonard Bernstein said "Music...can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable" but metaphor can also be used to help us understand complex music in a fresh way. Words can only go so far... Especially when it comes to describing the experience of great music. So how about using another vehicle of expression, one that we can relate to on an emotional level? Film. On today's podcast we take to the piano (you can watch on YouTube for the video version which includes clips from the film). We overlay Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata 1st movement side by side with the film Rocky starring Sylvester Stallone. What emerges is a fascinating revelation of what is 'under the hood'. Yes, both Balboa's and Beethoven's template is the same. It's known as the Hero's Journey, the quintessential model for great Hollywood films, novels and compelling stories. And now...we see and hear it at work in the compositional process of Beethoven. Join me for a frolic in film and music. I guarantee you will never hear Beethoven the same way again.

Владимирский областной Дом работников искусств, 8 октября 2021 года. Полностью концерт можно посмотреть здесь: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3lIbc6Cp7c Каштаны парижских бульваров Мне снятся теперь по ночам. Глаза твои карие снятся. Но как передать это вам? Там в парках влюблённые пары, В вечерних огнях Нотр-Дам. Париж – это встреча с любовью, Она улыбается нам. (2 раза) А ветер шальной нас ласкает, Ты мне о любви говоришь. С тобой мы на Эйфеля башне, У ног наших вечный Париж! Я помню прощальный наш вечер И песню, летящую вдаль, И бархатный тембр Джо Дассена, И светлую грусть и печаль. (2 раза) Но вот, словно Золушке с бала, Пора возвращаться домой, И шепчешь ты мне: «До свиданья». Увижусь ли снова с тобой? Но сердце навек сохранило Ту песню, летящую вдаль, И бархатный тембр Джо Дассена, И светлую грусть и печаль... Ноты произведений С.
