Well, I fell for it hook line and sinker.Now I wonder if recordings posted by slow were fake.Can anyone really be that good??Thal
I think m1469 was one of the first who smelled a rat. But I didn't believe her (sorry m1469!)
Well... at least now I don't have to feel bad about being too childish anymore Because since Becky came here I was feeling kinda embarrassed about being so childish compared to her... At first when all the people started to admire her sooooo much I felt really jealous and for a while I didn't even feel like posting very much... and I thought she was pretending to be more grownup than she really was just to make grownups like her and admire her... but then after a while I got over it and wasn't jealous of her anymore! So I was happy about that! But well... so now I can start posting pictures of my toys and all that again Oh... but I can kinda understand why someone would do all this... I mean it's like a game!! You know like when you play something and pretend you are some other people and all that... I mean that's really fun So maybe it was kinda like a pretend game... and I'm sure whoever did this didn't mean anything bad and wasn't trying to make fun of anyone... And I thought Lady Pianist was really cool! I mean even if she's not really real... but movies and people from movies and stories are usually not completely real either but people love them anyway and they talk about them as if everything was real... and me and my friends have imaginary friends and we talk about them as if they were real! So... well... I don't really think this was all so bad. I think there was a lot of good things about it too... It's just sad that they're gone for ever now... like as if they died now Well but I'm sure noone will forget them And I'm still thankful and very happy for their very nice and great comments!
Littletune, I love your posts, and I'm sure everyone else does too. You don't need to feel "kinda embarrassed" by them And you sound way more mature than my 12 year old sister. Your posts are much better than mine ... how old do I sound ? Take your second paragraph for example... I couldn't have said it better myself.
I second that! Much better than my posts when I was 12... In fact, let me say that I would be more upset if YOU were a hoax than any other member
I don't understand why you get so upset.. Do you really care that much if some total stranger from the internet lied to you? I mean, they both came with some great advice, and I really enjoyed their recordings...
She is not part of a cult, she is a cult.Foxyism.Thal
What are you? Some kind of a saint?!
And let me third this.I also want to point out that while Becky and CrazyPianist had celebrity status, your thread about practicing is like... 90 replies. Becky never even touched that with any of her posts.
I think it must have been somebody with a lot of knowledge about piano. So, well how about a little competition . For instance Nils could offer one year gold membership for free to the person who is able to identify the villain
Thanks! I really don't think my posts are better than yours! I'm not sure how old you sound I haven't really been thinking about it Maybe like... 17 or something I hope I don't offend you or something... I just said the first thing that came to my mind
I'm just really curious! What if they're really an alien?? And they're trying to learn about humans?!!
A little common sense goes a long way, if you believe a 70+ year old lady can play the piano like a younger concert pianist with such strength and fluidity, then that merely highlights your own lack of piano knowledge. I use to shoot down the fraudsters but the moderators got annoyed with me thus I merely ignore them now.

I use to shoot down the fraudsters but the moderators got annoyed with me thus I merely ignore them now.People get bored very fast on the internet. Some people post all they can and then need to conjour up some ideas for attention. It is like a child who is never played with, they will start acting up to attract attention from anyone they can, whether that be crying, messing up the place, making noise what have you. Looking through a users post history can reveal a huge amount about their posting style and you can notice irregularities in what they have posted which discredits them.Serious users also get bored with this forum sometimes and respond to people being stupid (or extending/removing the truth) merely because it is something to respond to and different to what has been discussed before (even though its based on something "made up" to encourage response/attention).
why would you go throught that much trouble to identify a fraud, when it doesn't even affect you in the first place?
Foxyism? Hmmm. That sounds a lot like Fuxism, which I imagine is the cult of counterpoint.
Indeed, a very important difference. In German it's called Foxologie.
The passages posted on pianostreet that where supposed to be an older lady playing some technical monsters without ever sounding taxed of energy and passages crisp and clean, just highlighted to me and spoke to me of a hand that was young and full of energy.
I'm wondering what harm they've done to the forum, other than give good advice.In fact I'd say the people who exposed this has done more harm... now everyone's pissed.As they say, ignorance is bless
I just noticed that all the hoaxes threads are gone....
Oh well... that's kinda sad... Well I know I'm stupid but I just have to say that in one thread Birba said: Littletune you are priceless (I think it was like that) And I also wanted to say that Pianolady said that Littletune and Enzo and... (well) Becky... inspired her... and I was really happy and proud about that! Oh well... And noone sent me a message yet and told me why they did it! I'm still waiting! Although I think I kinda understand it... but maybe I understand it wrong Oh but one thing I don't understand! Why did they post recordings of other people? Like if I imagine playing or pretending to be different people... I think I would wanna play all of the things myself just as a different person, and then I would wanna see if imagining being a different person would make what I was playing sound any different... I really wanna know if it would! So well I don't know exactly why would you want people to comment on other people's playing... but I guess you can learn something from that too! So I guess that's why they did it... to learn something... But they were also really nice and helpful to others... so I guess they wanted to teach other people too... so I don't know why people are so angry... because I think it was all meant in a good way! I'm really sure! I mean Piano lady even wrote when she deleted her threads in the audition room that she wished everyone all the best! So I'm sure the person who did this really does wish everyone here all the best! I just know it!!! I'm sure! I'm COMPLETELY sure!!!
Yep. You're a saint.
17!???! How could you think that I'm so old!? ...... Just kidding, you're pretty close actually. I thought you would guess 10 or something. So I'm glad I sound somewhat mature. Sometimes I feel like Peter Pan, never wanting to grow up.And now I feel really guilty for bringing this thread so off topic. Sorry again! :/
Oh you know... I think maybe I wanna stay 12 too I mean I'm not really looking forward to being 13... I mean I don't really wanna be a teenager! Cause then you're supposed to think about stupid boring boys and stupid boring clothes and stupid boring makeup and all other stupid boring things teenagers are supposed to think about! And I wanna think about toys and music and piano and my imaginary world and being in nature and all that! So... I don't know
