Do you have a model of a composer?

[csharp_minor]

Do you have a bust or model of a composer on your piano or anywhere else? if so who is it?

I have a tiny bust Beethoven on my piano! I want to get one of Bach and Chopin - can you even get one of Chopin? I haven't come acrosss one yet.

[shortyshort]

I had some pictures of composers above my instrument at my old house. 

But now I have moved, it is now situated in the conservatory. The pics have nowhere to go. 

Perhaps some small models would be better. 

I will start looking for some. 

[mad_max2024]

I have a tiny bust of beethoven on my chest of drawers in my bedroom.
Bought it on a trip to Vienna.

[thalbergmad]

I have pictures of Liszt and Thalberg on my piano.

Opposite ends though.

Thal

[shortyshort]

perhaps a model made of a "stress-ball" type material would be useful.

I know that I have had need for one before.

[mad_max2024]

Or one that pours scotch onto a cup when you press a button.
Maybe I'll place my manneken pis model on my piano table someday.

[quantum]

Was given a Chopin bust several years ago.  Sits on a shelf.  I dislike having any decorative objects on my piano so you'll never find it on there.

I have one of those, but scotch is not forthcoming.

i have a Grieg tattoo 

[m19834]

Well, I have three heads and shoulders that were given to me by some students.  I have Beethoven, Bach and Mozart.  They just sit on a shelf.

[thalbergmad]

I have three heads

Is that why you are called Karli??

Thal

[csharp_minor]

As you guys are mentioning pictures, I have cut out pictures of Bach and Mozart on my bedroom wall, need to get hold of one of Beethoven and Chopin though.

I would love to get a poster of Beethoven! he is my 'pop idle' lol

Maybe my bust of Beethoven came from some gift shop in Vienna too? I got mine from a charity shop!

[csharp_minor]

I have often thought a bust of a composer that talks would be fun and very annoying
( gimcky). I can just imagine a talking Beethoven bust that says ' Pratice harder!' or laughs at your rubbish attempt to play one of his pieces in his loud laugh ' hah hah ugagag!'  and says a quote like: ' There is only ONE Beethoven!'

Of course you would press a button on the stand for these coments! or you would end up with a broken model.

[mad_max2024]

Maybe a bust of Beethoven with an articulated arm/catapult that would throw tableware at you when you miss a note.

[m19834]

Okay, I am going to take my set of three busts  to the piano with me now, and those guys are going to sit there watching me.  And, Thal, no that is not why I am called "Karli" ... at least not that I know of  .

[csharp_minor]

three busts 

*Sniggers *
 

Thats right, you do that join the crowd!

[csharp_minor]

Good idea! or it a strikes your hands with a stick or throws chair at you if you miss out the dynamics!   Beethoven was very touchy about students missing out the dynamics I read somewhere...  

[quantum]

  and says a quote like: ' There is only ONE Beethoven!'

I'd one that says that.   

[healdie]

I have a poster above my piano called the great composers it has a picture of them and lists some notablwe works by them

but i have notcied a few errors and bizzare notible works
for example under Beethoven notable works it mentions Welligtons siege and the triple concerto but doesn't mention his piano concertos

and the biggest error is under Richard Strauss it lists the Blue danube waltz and has picture of Johann Strauss

[communist]

ya i have a naked model of Clara Schumann

[m19834]

So, I have to say that practicing with my composer busts sitting there looking at me from the music rack, well, it kind of makes me feel more responsible for what I am doing.  I also kinda feel like I am performing.  I will admit, I like having them there .  Sometimes they don't appear to be very pleased though ... but I always make up for it .

[pianowolfi]

I don't have models, let alone busts, for some reason I can't with them. But often this guy looks at me from my piano.

[loonbohol]

I placed stickers of Kajiura Yuki on my piano.

THen I also pasted Halo 3 game posters on my piano
Now, Is master chief a composer.

[a-sharp]

I have three heads

Is that why you are called Karli??

Thal

Thal - don't forget the shoulders that were also given to her along with the 3 heads.

I almost wish I had 3 busts - but that would be a little *too* weird, even for me.

I'll take a Bach sculpture that pours tequila though, in case anyone is offering.

Beethoven needs to be in stress-ball form.

[csharp_minor]

I now have a bust of Mozart! got it for Christmas!

...but he is bigger then my Beethoven one, people will think I like Mozart more then Beethoven!   , maybe I will buy myself an even bigger head of Beethoven to balance things out?

Just put the bigger one further away 

[thalbergmad]

Just put the Mozart one in the bin.

Lol

He can't do that,
anyway he only got it yesterday.

Thal

Lol nah I don't really wanna do that to poor old Wolfgang now! do I!? I might put him elsewhere my piano doesn't have much room on it with all the musical clutter on it!

Lol

He can't do that,
anyway he only got it yesterday.

yeah I only got it yesterday and its made out of clay or something unlike my Beethoven one! btw I'm female!

[shortyshort]

 btw I'm female!

Sorry. 

If I'm unsure, I write "he", as getting it wrong the other way normally gets a bigger reaction. 

[csharp_minor]

Sorry. 

Thats ok! no need to cry about it!

[csharp_minor]

Another thought. It would be so cool if they made a bendy rubber model of Chopin! That you could pose in different positions! - including his hands and fingers! 

Toy manufactures I hope you are listening – Chopin bendy toy copyright of C# minor! all royalties go to me!

You really hate Chopin don't you!

[communist]

You really hate Chopin don't you!

not as much as i hate Sorabji

[edwardweiss]

I would have liked to have had a bust of Max Reger on my piano for the past 47 years, but, alas, I have never yet found one.

[alpacinator1]

No, but my teacher has several mini-busts on her piano. When I'm done playing I always look up to see them staring down angrily at me, like I just butchered their music
