[eddie92099]

When I first got an e-mail address at AOL, I asked to be eddie@AOL.com. Obviously that was taken, and eddie92099@AOL.com was one of the suggestions I was given. I don't have the address anymore but it has kind of stuck,
Ed

[Jemmers]

my name is jeremy...

[comme_le_vent]

Comme Le Vent means Like The Wind
it is the name of a piano piece by my favourite piano-composer - Alkan
it is also a fairly common french phrase, and it exemplifies my taste in music.

[glamfolk]

Some friends and I were trying to come up with interesting genre combinations, and glam rock and folk struck us as particularly humorous, picturing David Bowie in skin tight gold lame spandex and makeup singing "If I had a Hammer".  Kind of bizarre, I know, but the name stuck.

[allchopin]

Allchopin (AWL - Sho - PAN) - My personal preferences lie mainly in Chopin's music, if not all.  He's basically just my favorite composer, so I may as well represent his life of achievements, struggles, and experiences through but a simple, solitary pseudonym.  Actually, I'm thinking of converting it to 1337 lingo soon  

[erak]

My real name is Erik, but that name was already in use on this board, and erak is a nick name I have gotten from my brother. Lots of people call me Erak instead of Erik now, so I just used that for the forum. Looks quite ridicilous, but maybe that's just how I am.

[Noah]

Noah means "what an amazing pianist you are, as good as Argerich" in Belgian, something people tell me all the time, so it has kinda stuck (since this seems to be a trendy expression here).

[steinwaymodeld]

i think mine is pretty straight foward
Steinway Model D

used to be my favorite

now i have 2 favorites(since i can't make a decision)

Fazioli F308.

[erak]

Noah means "what an amazing pianist you are, as good as Argerich" in Belgian

:-/

[bitus]

My real name is Titus... so they call me Titus the Bitus... (tee-toos the bee-toos). I had a friend, his name was J.S. Bach, and he recomended that both our names started with B...
The Bitus.

[Beet9]

Beet9 - Beethoven's 9th symphony (the best piece of music ever written)

[minsmusic]

Name of my studio in Australia.  My grandmother used to call me "Skinny Minny" when I was a kid.  Then the term "skinny" could no longer be applied   hee hee) and the Minny was dropped to Min.  When my grandmother died, the nickname kind of died too, so when I started my own studio I didn't want to call it "Jenny's blah blah blah,  but "Min's Music".

I lot of people ask why I've called it that.    It gives me a chance to talk about my Nanna.  

[estrella]

estrella means "star"...and that's a perfekt name for me!

[DAwud7]

My names simply is my name in Arabic DAvid

[liszmaninopin]

Can you speak Arabic?  I've always wanted to learn that language.  English and Spanish get old after a while.

[dinosaurtales]

DinosaurTales.com is a web site for kids I developed for my client, who wanted me to learn web development and the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act at the same time  for a project.  The site never went anywhere, but I use the server for my email! 

[steinwayguy]

Steinway Guy.


I enjoy me some Steinway. And I am male.

[Tash]

funny i was contemplating setting up a thread like this
cos my name is the result of me being super clever, classy and witty all at the same time- well that was the aim, but i couldn't be bothered thinking of something so great. thus stuck to my general nickname of which is tash
fascinating huh

[goose]

"Goose" is a nickname which came from Czech people not being able to pronounce my real name. Many friends now use it in preference to my given name, so I don't feel too bogus using it on this forum.

It's nothing to do with Top Gun...in case you thought I was stuck in an '80s adolescent hormonal fantasy.

[earthward]

I chose "earthward" 'cause it's the title of a Robert frost poem that I love.

[rhapsody in orange]

Haha.. I like rhapsody in blue.. and i like orange too!
So.. rhapsody in orange =)

[Floristan]

Floristan is a variation of Florestan, one of Robert Schumann's alter-egos -- the happier, manic one!  (Eusebius was the sadder, depressed one.)  In the Davidsbundler Tanzen, Schumann attributes each of the dances to either Florestan or Eusebius.  They make another appearance in Carnival.

The Davidsbundler, or League of David, was a quasi-fictional "club" Schumann created as a way to talk about what he considered to be authentic music (Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, himeslf, Brahms) and what he considered the "music of the Philistines" -- mostly theatre/opera music like Bellini, et al., later to include Wagner and Liszt, whom Schumann thought were destroying music with musical hyperemotionalism.

And I just thought it was a cool name.  

[Regulus Medtner]

Regulus after the omonymous star (Alpha Leonis) because of my love for astronomy.
Medtner after one of my favourite composers.

[bnatural]

anyone can't tell what my name means?

[chopin_girl]

Chopin_girl. Chopin is my favourite composer of all times, and girl...well because I'm a Chopin girl. I like to play Chopin. That's pretty much it.

She is my alter ego, he he... he he.... he he

[brokenagraffe]

the agraffe is the only thingy i've broken in my piano so far. so, um, I couldn't think of anything better than to use it as a name.

[Pianostudy]

pianostudy=i study the piano.. GET IT?!?! AHAHAHA

i am a piano study...

[Sergey R]

Pretty straightforward...

Sergey Rachmaninov

[Muzakian]

Seeing as "musician" is amazingly boring, and probably already taken, I decided to be a muzakian - one who plays muzak... which is kinda stupid, because muzak typically refers to popular music. However, I don't consider myself talented enough to be a real musician, so it fits.

[pseudopianist]

Because I am pseudopianist?

[lostinidlewonder]

Because thats the state im always in lol.

[pianonut]

after typing in names that were already in use--i typed in piano and then i thought ok. i'm a little nutty, too.  now after seeing all these fabulous names, i think i want a new name. 

[donjuan]

I am donjuan - the legenday lover!  haha just kidding - I chose this name because I like Liszt's fantasy on Don Giovanni, and I wanted to pick a name as far away from my personality as possible.  haha donjuan? me??? hahahaha

[LVB op.57]

LVB =Ludwig Van Beethoven
op.57=appassionata

Wow, I'm the only one here who traces back to Beethoven? I think there are some differences in our "family trees" however. Beethoven taught Czerny  taught Liszt taught Leschetizky taught Artur Schnabel taught Leon Fleisher taught Mariko Sato taught me. Small world, right?

Last name sznajdman... schnitseln - a piece of meat, swedish spelling (possibly wrong though )
In school no-one could pronouce my name, so I said "its pronounced as 'schnitsel' ".
