Hi. I want to start reading a new thread about the ranks of difficulty about Chopin pieces. Can you please list all the Chopin pieces ranking threads and rank them for me and why? Also if you ahve thoughts on rank thread rankings and the individual levels for them for other pieces/composers. I want to read those too. For reference I have just finished the latest ranking thread if that helps. Thanks.
You evil lad! For the record, I rank them all as pretty rank.
...its not the musicality with which you play that makes you a good pianist, its the extreme difficulty of the pieces you can almost play.I would like to grade all pieces as being "as hard as you're attitude and lack of patience makes them"
yes i think i understand. but then which ones are more rank than others? like is the etudes rank less so than the preludes and nocturnes rank? what about if we add Liszt and Ravel to mix, how does that change things? i really like a lot of them i think if i had the rank rank, and argued about it, i might be able to narrow it down.
...or of pulling rank.
..or leap away screaming. so it is with all that jump rank. i guess i 'll just have to wait a few weeks and repost the request in similar or not so undifferent terms, perhaps on another board. i mean i don't want jump ahead more than i should like this guy.
** amused myself changing some "r"s for "w"s
What the heck is with all of these ranking of pieces all of the sudden?
This thread is not about ranking the pieces, it's about ranking the rankings. We'll then move on to rank the rankings of the rankings. And then we'll move on to..... [at some point Nils will step in and kill us all].
Unless my perceptions are way off, there's a whole lot of sarcasm going on here. As someone who gets the World Almanac for Christmas every year, it's safe to say I really like lists. I also have titles like 'The top 10 of everything' and 'The big book of lists' in my bookshelf. I also like tables, rankings, charts, graphs, etc. I'm a technical thinker, so I find them fun to think about. Is it a relatively pointless exercise with music? Sure, but that doesn't stop every music webpage I've ever seen from being full of 'rank the albums by this band' threads.Why do people do it? Because it's fun. It's another way to think about and get something out of music you've heard 100 times over. It's a way to share your opinion and talk about something your passionate about. If you don't find it fun, don't participate in it. I'm not familiar enough with whomever this thread is imitating, but clearly there's a notion of his/her silliness in ranking things. Well, I don't know enough to say anything about that person, but as someone who just posted a 'ranking' thread, I can't help but be a little insulted.
I am not a ranker -honest.
nothing to be ashamed of. these are some big time rankers...Senator Kevin Ranker... Professor Jason Ranker
Does a state Senator Ranker outrank a Professor Ranker or are they to be ranked in different rankings and so Ranker is unrankable with respect to Ranker?
their respective jobs are like.. .. ..apples and oranges, or... .. ...octaves and arpeggios...
oh i almost forgot this can be turned in to the higher rankshttps://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/legalfiles/gates_letter_sept09/attach_1.pdf
