What's really sad is that damn piece.  If I have to hear Fur Elise one more time, I'm going to have to take my own life.

OMG, 2075 comments.

I started reading some of them. They were hysterical. Then the more I read, the more frightening they became. It's absolutley horrifying to realize there are so many idiots out there.

an awesome piece, because beethoven is the biggest compositor of all times, is better that mozart, because is most apassionated, an example is "La novena sinfonia"

I have to admit that I get a few giggles when people refer to pieces as "songs".

I'm sure it won't be long before we see them calling scales "songs" also.

"My favorite song is the b flat harmonic minor".

Then somebody will correct them,"It's not a song, it's a piece".

Ah, ok.

I agree, it does lose something in the translation.

I can imagine it being called "the song on page 24":

Can you play the B minor harmonic scale? 

I don't know that.

*Points to page in scale book*

Oh yeah, the song on page 24.  I practiced this song all week.

Remember that time Lang Lang played the Yellow River Concerto with the 100 pianos on stage in addition to the orchestra?  I wonder if he'd call that a choral song?  :D

The following web address is the saddest piece of music I heve ever heard. Its a lenghty composition for organ and strings composed by Tomaso Albinoni: the Adagio in G minor.

Start with a high volume setting, as it begins very softly. And as you slowly get to the end, the composition gradually reaches a high state of depression and fades away with a violin solo.

What makes it even sadder, is that Albinoni did not write it.

Just about every film in history that has a scene where 2 lovers are running towards each other on a deserted beach, uses that music.

I have grown to rather dislike it.

Understandably so - although, since that music has been in the public domain for rather a long time, you can probably at least comprehend, even if not approve, a certain part of the motivation (even if merely passive) of the producer...

oh, für elise...

sometime ago, i had a white and light-green house...

it was quite good to live there but one thing: every damn morning, eight o'clock am, the propane delivery truck used to pass by my window, playing a MIDI version of this delightful work, at a rock gig volume.

one day, it's amusing...the second, you get a bit annoyed...the third, you go earlier to work. then, you just don't mind and get out with only minor cerebral damage.

anyway, think about it: the hundred years' war probably was a whole lot worse.

best!
