haha henrah wants some consolation after a rough time at the recital


my answer is no; the sympathetic nervous system shuts down the digestive tract

[henrah]

Heh, nah I've never perfomed in front of an audience that aren't my friends. The thought just came to me

Tom, I know the EXACT type of farting you described, and it's definately the funniest kind!

too much milk?  i'm one of the lucky ones. i can drink milk, eat cheese, and it doesn't affect me.  but, with our second car - i'm wondering if there's enough room to handle these events.

Okay, well, I teach, and I've had students fart during their lesson!  I had one little 1st grader, I don't know what he ate for dinner, but he'd actually stop playing, lift his butt off the bench, fart, and then say "excuse me" and start playing again!  CRAZY!!!

Years ago I was present when somebody up in the front rows farted loudly while Julius Katchen was playing the Waldstein slow movement in the town hall. He must have heard it but just carried on despite a few stifled titters and one loud guffaw.

I don't perform but I often fart while playing.

This is a 100% true story. During my first year of piano lessons, when I was 8, i was having a lesson. and uncontrollably i farted about 10 times in a row. it was amplified due to the wooden bench, and it was in a big church, so it seemed like an echo. She asked if i had to use the bathroom.

I am beginning to see that this forum has reached a new high-water mark of profound musical expression.

Mandatory release of tension.  Playing with undue tension is not good 

Any experiences in a chamber ensemble?  Like when accompanying a singer?

funny thread!
I almost did - it was at the start of 'suggestion diabolique'. where you have to shift both hands down to the left of the keyboard and lift one side of youre butt off the seat.   I don't think I did tough but it was rather hard trying to ...keep it in
