One must air sit for the cello.

And if playing un-HIPpily one has to adjust for the phantom presence of the endpin.

Singer, Instrumentalist, Performer, Amateur enthusiast of music history, Weekly listener--well, at least weekly.  It would be "daily" if I could afford the time from my own practice-rehearsal-concert-gig schedule. 8)
Quote from: Tapio Dmitriyevich Shostakovich on May 12, 2011, 06:52:13 AMa) When will we see an air conducting subforum?
Probably very soon, since you suggested it. :)
Quote from: Tapio Dmitriyevich Shostakovich on May 12, 2011, 06:52:13 AMb) Is air conducting causing tornados?
Only on Jupiter. ;D

Good music should physically move you. I want to cry when I see a classical concert audience all seated neatly in their rows, as unmoving as the dead.

One (minor) reason I don't go to concerts is how out of place I look head-banging to Beethoven.

But "No, this is Aht, don't you understand? You must give no sign of enjoying the experience, but are permitted (required?) to clap at designated times. That is all."

But being a musician don't you have to listen to music at "work" as well, perhaps a lot more attentively than you might do while playing a CD? :)

I always head-bang, keep the rythm with my right foot and tap my hips with the fingers at concerts --- but I do it with a Classical restraint.   ;D

In the privacy of my home I'm an unbound Romantic.  :D

Well, it's not exactly the hips, but the part above the knee when you sit --- my English is not good enough: any help?

You certainly did --- but could you name it in proper English?  ;D
