There is a form of autism in which people can sometimes re-create sounds or music exactly, the first time they play an instrument. There was recently a PBS special on this. One man could play a entire piano piece he'd heard on the radio, but ONLY from the very beginning. If he was interrupted partway through he could only play from the start again. He was also unable to vary the tempo, key or anything else. Some autistic people can become agitated and upset if a song they are used to hearing a certain way is suddenly played differently. Yes it is called 'playing by ear' and it is a rare talent.

Another name for this is "Idiot Savant" It really depends if you are playing from sheet music or not, if you were then that would mean you were a very good "sight reader".

What is the style of singing without prior preparation or practice in the leader-chorus form.?

The style of singing without prior preparation or practice in the leader-chorus form is often referred to as "improvisational" or "spontaneous" singing. In this format, a leader sings a phrase, which is then echoed or responded to by the chorus. This style emphasizes creativity and interaction, allowing for immediate expression and participation, often found in folk, spiritual, or call-and-response traditions. The lack of preparation adds an element of freshness and unpredictability to the performance.


How did liszt revolutionize the piano?

Liszt was one of the greatest promoters of the piano solo performance. He was the first to start positioning the piano on stage so that the right profile of the pianist would face the audience. Prior to this, the pianist was usually face to face with the audience and this was not optimal in terms of seeing the pianists hands, or in terms of projecting sound to the audience. In effect, Liszt invented the solo piano performance, and thanks to his incredible skill and dazzling performances, audiences became interested in seeing performances that were solely a piano recital, versus the variety style shows which were common at the time. Liszt also embraced and promoted both the geniuses of his time and prior. Without Liszt and his skills as a transcriber, we would not have access to many of the works of Schubert, and other masters of the genre. The great master even spent his final years teaching piano for free.

When did the piano originate?

The piano very likely has its origins in the invention of a crude harp. There were similar instruments, such as dulcimers, prior to the eighteenth century - the 1700s - but the invention of the first piano as we know it is credited to Bartolemo Cristofori, an Italian musician and specialist in musical instruments, who was retained by the Medici family. From the end of the 1700s the piano was redeveloped and became the instrument of choice of many famous composers and artists. The English harpsichord manufacturers, Broadwood, developed the piano into the instrument closer to that which we know today.
