Chopin Tattoo
on: August 22, 2004, 10:32:45 PM
Hello everyone i am new to this message board. I am 22 years old have been playing classical piano for about 15 years now and took piano performance in college for 4 years. I look forward to further discussions with you all. I would like to share my Chopin Tattoo with you. I got it about three years ago and its the first couple bars of Chopins Ballade in G minor. The picture shows only one side of it, it actually goes around my arm. It is my favorite piano piece of all time and Chopin is the most influential composer to me. Please take a look  :)

Welcome to the piano forum! But I would take a different fingering in the first measure...  :P

That's taking the piano to a new level of obsession-  and I thought I loved Chopin  ::)

This is a little dirty and off topic, but I once knew this person who wanted to put a W on each buttcheek, so when they bent over, it would read "wow". :o
