Music for the girls!

edit

Uematsu. Arrangement by Nakayam. Theme of Love from Piano Opera FF IV/V/VI, I've been reading through this lately, and there are some really nice creative things happening between the hands in the middle section.

Not so much a nerdy type of guy, although the music sounds nice I feel my efforts be best put to another area. Thanks though

different folks different strokes.

perhaps a Bortkiewicz etude, this one has a nice story leading to it being called the 'betothal etude'
stunningly beautiful. i just about fell over out of my chair when i first heard it.

That's a really nice piece, thanks!

Women are generally dumb, so the theme from Eastenders or something the silly cows have heard in a film is likely to get better results than anything from the classical world.

Don't listen to these jerks, I am a woman and you should take my advice and learn a Fantasy or Fantasie. If you can play extremely fast in a part or two you will have better luck, because seeing a man or a woman play fast is very exciting. You can guess why?

Really enjoying learning Chopin's Fantasie Impomptu at the moment, and it's rather a famous piece too. Wow everyone seems so particularly subtle in their sexual humour! Or maybe I need to get my head out of the gutter?

There are minors on this forum you know...

But the fact is that if I happened to run into a (pleasant looking) guy who would play certain kind of music on the piano, that might have an effect... whether he plays fast or not

Fair enough, I guess I just didn't expect it!

MIght I suggest playing some music that is not of the "long haired" variety.. you'd probaby have a better chance of scoring with the ladies if you play some contemporary music.  Unless you find one who's really high class and likes to listen to classical piano music.

My soon to be 17 yo Grand Daughter said when I played Paul Simon's, Sound Of Silence for her and her sister, "Ooh I like that ". My wife loves and I mean absolutely loves David Nevue's, Winter Walk when I play it. My oldest daughter ( the 17 year old's mom) has always loved Fur Elise. My 36 YO daughter loves my arrangement of the theme song Ice Castles. And my X-wife loved my version of Chariots of Fire though I have not played that in 30 years now but when I did she loved it.

So all females liking relatively uncomplicated music.  Don't get me wrong, they like other music as well, just saying ! They like it moody, played well and smooth presentation. Bring out what counts in the piece, you don't have to get extravagant with composes etc, IMO.

I have so many females in my life I wouldn't dare even consider calling women cows, or dumb, by the way ! For one thing they aren't either one and I enjoy their company immensely but my Grand Daughters in particular are highly cherished individuals by just about everyone they meet, and all honors students with advanced academic classes. Far from dumb and total knock outs. They will be going on in school on scholarships, the whole family couldn't be more proud of them, myself included !

I know this is different than romantic stuff but then again maybe not so different in what they like for music coming out of the piano..

indeed. i'm a c sharp minor.

indeed. i'm a c sharp minor.

Judging from the post on top of this page I wouldn't be so sure about the sharp though... Maybe B-flat minor?

c# harmonic minor then. i'll take a b flat.

all my nonsense aside, this is sappy but i think chicks prolly dig it. i think they're probably responsible for all the (residual) royalties income on this stuff nowadays right?

It's true, you're better off playing some jazz.

Play My foolish heart transcription. I like Bill Evans.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Has your google broken?  

Hey what the heck?!  So that's what you meant when I made that thread about Valentina Lisitsa?!

I don't need a freaking cold shower!  I love her for who she is!  It's not sexual in nature at all!!!

 

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Try Le Gibet

Le Gibet?!

Come on now, Ondine is where it's at!

[49410enrique]

also some jazz arrangements of non jazz tunes can be quite nice. I have this album and it contains some beautiful arrangements of Beatles tunes in solo jazz piano style. this guy does a nice job w one here

[rachmaninoff_forever]

LISZT!!!!!!!!!! MY GOSH guys, he was by far the best show off in humanity for the piano/

I heard that he was like the Justin Bieber of his time.

He would play in concerts and all the girls would like jump on stage for him lol.

Now I feel like I ruined this thread for some... the photos were not that bad really 

[rachmaninoff_forever]

I FREAKING TOLD YOU GUYS THAT FROM THE FREAKING BEGINNING!!!!!!!!!

No but yeah ANYWAYS, if you guys wanna impress anyone irrespective of race, age, or gender, all you gotta do is play something loud and fast and you have them by the neck.

nah wasn't you, but it's a good thread and i think 'decency kitty' didn't want anyone hitting that complaint button and having a mod yank the thread. that was all. no worries

I'm afraid you missed them...

Hmmm...  Very well then.

The good thing is that you won't need a cold shower

I wouldn't point out to the world at large that it has taken you, what is it? 2 months to get that joke. 

[ajspiano]

I am 19, and I can recall countless experiences where I've been at a party, there's a piano in the corner and I'm forced to play something for some girl.

..you'd be better off teaching them something.. More interaction, and there are a million legitimate reasons to touch their hands or arms.

[perprocrastinate]

Tried doing that last weekend to my mom's friend's son. I played a mediocre Chopin Ocean Etude, he said it was just noise. Probably wasn't him though, considering how I played it.

LOL

But I wonder how he would react to Ravel's Scarbo..

I get the joke, but I still think it doesn't make any sense.  

[j_menz]

If he doesn't run screaming, you're playing it wrong.

I've played little excerpts of Scarbo for some people and they all said it sounded like disgusting music.  They weren't even excerpts, the were like little blips.  

No but yeah, creepy piece.  

Sometimes you don't really have to play anything.  One day I was warmng up and the janitor was baffled by this f minor scale.  He thought it was a piece by Beethoven lol.

Genius!

Nice

[pianoplunker]

Ok so I'm looking for some new pieces to add to my repertoire, and as you can probably tell by the title I'm looking for something to win over the ladies ^_^ and of course for my own sense of achievement/enjoyment.

I have only just picked up piano again recently after a year break (piano exams caused me a lot of stress and laziness, forceful motivation led me to want to give up, nevertheless I now realise how stupid it is to put something I'm good at/enjoy so much to waste). I have been playing for almost 14 years now and over the last few days have picked up Clair de Lune again.

Any suggestions?
Cheers 

Something short, sweet, and written by a lady. You might have to venture out of classical though.

[camille101]

Anything by Sorabji will do.

You are likely to be offered sex to stop playing.

Thal

Oh that is gold.

[ahinton]

Oh that is gold.

Are you sure about that? Some people might well offer all manner of incentives to someone else to stop playing if the playing, regardless of the repertoire, is bad enough!

Best,

Alistair

[unholeee]

As you know, I see far too many cows around where I am right now, but I've yet to encounter one watching a movie and listening to its soundtrack.

maybe they're too dumb.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

What about music for the guys?!   

Just so you people know for good measure, my heart is only aching for Valentina Lisitsa.

Hope that clears up any misunderstandings before things get blown WAY out of proportion like usual.

Make up your mind. 

[perprocrastinate]

I believe that this forum is at least 90% male. That should be pretty easy to figure out.

[j_menz]

Believe it or not, they actually track that. Currently, there are 2.2 guys for every girl, which makes it 69% male.

Wow, I never knew that.

But that's not taking into account the number of 'unknown gender' or hermaphrodites.

[j_menz]

Then the first is irrelevant to it's original purpose.

You mean when I said that it's not sexual in nature? 

Please....  Elaborate!

I meant the first I quoted, not the first you wrote.

On an unrelated note... I can't believe this is one of the most viewed topics of this forum.
