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 ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

^ 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.

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? ------------- Bez pierdolenia sygnał zerwie, to w realia wychodź w hełmie! |

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?  |

^ 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. ------------- https://soundcloud.com/erin-susan-jennings" rel="nofollow - Bedroom guitarist".
