This form is too long.
If everybody fills out the form for the sake of it, but nobody cares to read all of them because they're too long then that's not helpful for the thread.

Personally, the reason I don't give away my last name is simply because I don't like it.

Of course, term, not everyone has to follow a format.  But if some members want to disclose about themselves, then that's their choice.  There are a lot of threads that are lengthy in this forum, but we have no control over that.  It's like telling someone to shut up and that's not a polite thing to do around here.   Whether the thread is helpful or not, that's up to the individual member.  How about you being creative that defines you?  I'd like to know.

To be honest I was pretty bored when I made this topic it’s just supposed to be some very light hearted fun. If some people can’t be asked to do the form ‘coz its too long’ then that’s fine. The info on the form is trivial information so I don’t think it’s a threat to anyone’s important details. Of course I could have asked:

It's the detail that makes it fun.

Doing 3D modelling is great fun, but AutoCAD 3D is pants.
Autodesk Inventor is like playing Playstation, lol.

In a Nutshell? Hmm - one of Percy Grainger's more engaging works, methinks...

Alistair, that's a particular favourite of mine.  Bypassing The Warriors for now, Grainger's In Dahoney and Handel in the Strand are utterly wonderful to me.

Grainger -like Beecham- hated Elgar.  Whatever.  Alex Ross, music critic for 'The New Yorker' (not surprisingly being a Yank) once rated Korngold above Elgar.   That is a very hard sell to me.  I love Korngold, but his music -supremely well written- tends to glitter on the surface, it doesn't probe. 

But I've always been suspicious of Alex Ross.  He writes well of course, but some of his music reviews I've read of New York premiers seem a bit of a bluff.  He's talking about music he couldn't possibly have seen the score to.  I don't think his ear is that good, I'm not fooled.   But he talks up a good storm, much better than I could ever do.

Alistair, that's a particular favourite of mine.  Bypassing The Warriors for now, Grainger's In Dahoney and Handel in the Strand are utterly wonderful to me.

I have quite a few problems with Grainger and his work, personally. He is immensely fascinating on many fronts and anyone who seeks to dismiss him is making a fool of him/herself; how could anyone imagine being at the one time encouraged by Delius and at another putting himself in the kind of ring that might have attracted the attention of Stockhausen? And a fine pianist, too. One cannot fit Grainger into any straitjacket yet devised by man. Much of his music to me seems either unduly mannered or point-proving or both; The Warriors and In a Nutshell are two exceptions and there are, of course, other examples. 20th century music would not have been 20th century music without Grainger - yet there could be no "school" of Grainger. Probably his finest attribute is his unspoken (as far as I know) valuing of individuality over originality. I could almost imagine him practising Finnissy's English Country-Tunes because that's the kind of thing he'd have done, had he lived long enough. His broadmindedness was one of his greatest virtues.

Grainger -like Beecham- hated Elgar.  Whatever.  Alex Ross, music critic for 'The New Yorker' (not surprisingly being a Yank) once rated Korngold above Elgar.   That is a very hard sell to me.  I love Korngold, but his music -supremely well written- tends to glitter on the surface, it doesn't probe.  

Each to his own. Alex Ross probably rates Alex Ross over either Korngold or Elgar, only it wouldn't do him much good to admit it. Korngold's best music does indeed probe; try the Weltschmerz-imbued Symphony in F# or the much earlier Sinfonietta (some Sinfoni"etta"!) - and parts of Die Tote Stadt; he's not all young Viennese talent followed by Hollywood slickness and professionalism, you know! But the fact that he didn't write three symphonies of the order of Elgar's is one that I would most readily concede. Elgar is still also much misunderstood, I think; what the best of his music represents is something that Beecham - a very great artist at his best - should well have understood and it doesn't fit at all comfortably with what was once the unfortunate standard English view of Elgar. I fell prey to that view when I was young and was dragged kicking and screaming (almost!) to a performance of his first symphony (which I'd never previously heard) by someone whom I cared enough about to let her do this, despite my grave misgivings and expectations of imperialist pomp and circumstance and outmoded Englishry in the music and my concerns as to how on earth I could force myself to sit through more than 50 unremitting minutes of this stuff; the opening timpani roll foreshadowed the worst for me, the expansive melody that followed seemed to inhabit its own world of artistic dignity without kow-towing to any kind of cheap Englishness (much to my surprise) and then, as the movement opened out, I felt that I was in the presence of a symphonic genius not hidebound by his country or even his time that I'd just not expected to encounter. I ended up having experienced one of the major symphonies of its era, regardless of where it had come from.

But I've always been suspicious of Alex Ross.  He writes well of course, but some of his music reviews I've read of New York premiers seem a bit of a bluff.  He's talking about music he couldn't possibly have seen the score to.  I don't think his ear is that good, I'm not fooled.   But he talks up a good storm, much better than I could ever do.  

All agreed! (except that I have no idea of what kind of storm you could "talk up"!); Ross is the (non Han)slick American Norman Lebrecht, always quick with a catchy phrase and a convenient pigeon-hole into which to place whomsoever he may choose, for the purpose of neatly and self-aggrandisingly wrapping up 20th century music history into - what - a nice, neat coffee-table volume, that's what...

Best,

Alistair

A pound of your best ham please and some horseradish

This form is too long.
If everybody fills out the form for the sake of it, but nobody cares to read all of them because they're too long then that's not helpful for the thread.
Why not be creative, give any kind of information you think defines you.

Agreeddd. It was you in a nutshell. But some of you seem to have extremely big... nevermind  

So five facts about me, myself and I?

i. I go by the name of Kai, it's more psuedo than anything else, although it still is my real name...it's a long story.
ii. Other than the piano, I also play the harp, alto and soprano sax, violin, double bass, clarinet, flute...and others
iii. I have a pet rat. He likes to nibble my ear  
iv. My palms are small but I have abnormally long fingers to make up for it.
v. I like Vegemiteee.

Nice to meet you  

[pianochick93]

Oh, you want a small nutshell?
