When it comes to the instrumental pieces performed in solo, harpsichord is my favourite instrument. On a par with the harp & flute (together) for me, in Western Classical Music.
Then comes the piano, organ, and the acoustic guitar. The hammered dulcimer is also a joy to listen to, both in Eastern and Western music. I somehow don't like the violin performed in solo that much. String quartets and similar string formations are great, though. If we take the modern technology into account, a synthesizer wizard can work miracles by himself/herself! Any thoughts?

Thoughts are thinking Thoughts are coming Thoughts are screaming Thoughts keep coming Thoughts are coming Thoughts are coming down Thoughts are thinking; Thunk from knowing Thoughts repeating; Harm is showing Thoughts forever keep me going down I thought my time was almost done I thought I knew which way to run I thought of how this began I thought of where to go for lunch I thought I'd give her what she wants I thought the dream makes the man Bats are crawling on my skin I hear blood-letting thoughts beginning now The more I try to not give in The more I think my thoughts are winning now Songwriters: Neal Morse Edited by JD - September 25 2021 at 11:33 |

^ Well, I checked the multiple meanings of the word "thought" out, and saw nothing wrong with it in this context. Unless one takes notes on such things, s/he provides such threads with suitable content by thinking, and the products thereof are "thoughts".
BTW, everything seems to be dead including this forum. So you, as a good contributor of the forum, should try much harder to be banned. Edited by Shadowyzard - September 25 2021 at 11:42 |

I'm more of a boat rocker than a 5hit disturber. But I do what I can to upset the status quo.

I like the harpsichord a lot but not so much quite a bit of the old music that was written for it solo. In my collection there's far more piano and acoustic guitar solo music, quite a bit of which I love a lot. As many people here now, I'm also passionate for, and have a lot of electronic solo music, but maybe that doesn't count 100% as with electronics you can of course do more things at the same time as with any traditional instrument (even though some of the stuff I have is quite meditative and not multilayered). Here's a solo piece for a piano that plays itself. |

Speaking of "Thoughts", does a capella voice count as a solo instrument?

It crossed my mind and I believe it does: I see vocal chords as an (natural) instrument. I like a capella, but more with choir than in solo. |

The classical "Handel" (video 1), and the classic game (my favourite) Baldur's Gate II (video 2). Quite similar pieces, don't you think?

^I've never even noticed that, but it looks like I might have as well. That's a real thing? How are they 're-earned'?

^ Good question. Maybe we're supposed to pour gilden false idols into lead molds, depicting the admin team in all the integrity, righteousness, and glory their work implies.
