Perhaps having played a single bach transcription may help?

Everything but your sanity. Try a transcription of one of the Organ Preludes and Fugues. There are very good ones by Liszt, Tausig, Busoni, Reger, Siloti and Brassin.

The easiest ones are the Liszt.

That aint a sentence you hear very often.

You know I wasn't seriously suggesting that made the movement impossibly hard anyway..  it can be split into to hand positions that are only an octave in width..

Love you.

Please, you're suffocating me.

And now for my annoying pedantic action of the day!

Two octaves and a sixth is a 21st, not a 22nd. (EDIT: Actually, it depends on how you look at it. Eh, whatever.)

Actually, looking at it for more than a second it seems 20 is the right number. So we both lose.

God knows how I hit 22...  probably 8+8+6..  should've thought about it before posting I guess.

also i can't think of a good use for knowing intervals beyond 13ths, so can't say I'm phased..  Other to avoiding looking like even more of an amateur than I already do on pianostreet...

Thank you for not pointing out that my incorrect spelling of the word "two"

It was my good deed for the day.

[chopin2015]

@menz....hahaha!

@rach4
I will! Im so excited! I hope it turns out good 

[outin]

I will! Im so excited! I hope it turns out good 

May I ask which part of your body will it be? 

[chopin2015]

The whitest part, inside of my bicep. I also work out so itll stay smooth for a while, i hope. What do you think?

[outin]

Well...here's something to think about...you meet Mr. Wonderful...get slightly intimate...he sees a picture of a grazy looking dude tattoed in your skin (assuming he is not a pianist)...do you think that might put him off a bit? 

Why not a picture of a nice piano instead? You could then carry one with you always 

[chopin2015]

Haha i was also thinking of getting the ol hammer and sickle. But wait...intimate? Pffhahaha

Im already tatted up, btw! I have a lot on both right and left hand, including a tuning fork with lambda symbol, and my whole neck in the back. Lol ill share that one in a sec, its pretty cool one

[rachmaninoff_forever]

May I ask which part of your body will it be? 

Lol I immediately thought of a tram stamp!

[chopin2015]

Lol I immediately thought of a tram stamp!

Haha...i dont have one there...but a beethoven tstamp would be unfair to everyone.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Why wouldn't you get a tattoo of Chopin?

I mean...

Your name IS Chopin2015 right?

[chopin2015]

Outin, heres my neck! Its really big and my parents were really dissapointed! Its a peacock male. I kinda like tattoos...havent got old to regret them though! Haha

[chopin2015]

Yeah hes next! I want a suuuper fancy one of him. I found an artist just now and he said hed rather draw beethoven this time, im ok with that. Theyre my 2 fav composers of all time.

[outin]

Beethoven and Chopin it must be then... You might find new favorite composers as well, I hope you don't run out of skin before you get everything you want

[chopin2015]

Nah, these are the ones. Ravel is a top fave too, and rach, but they dont represent my favorite century or childhood memories...and so on.

Although rach is russian,...beethoven and chopin will suffice.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

If I ever wanted to get a tattoo, I would get one of Valentina Lisitsa.

[chopin2015]

If I ever wanted to get a tattoo, I would get one of Valentina Lisitsa.

But shes still alive! Lol

She looked really pretty playing chopin etudes.

[outin]

But shes still alive! Lol

They use the dead bodies to create the Tattoos???

rant thread. ok. I've been wanting to do one for a while. here we go.

why is sword spelled like sword? like, where does the W come into play? like really, W likes to get in there on random words. like who, where's the W in that? it sounds like hoo. not Whoo. english just doesn't make sense some(all)times. then to make it even more confusing they add the ' just to make it more confusing! what's the point of adding a ' just to cut off a space and a letter? pointless I say! but everyone does it! it's proper grammar apparently! and now I have to go, cause my record needs to be flipped.

GO BEATLES!

Because that's how some words are in English.  Word evolution, random grabbing from other languages.  That type of thing.

Nice!

Well i could rant about being turned down by the music school of my choice in the most cold, heartless manner....but I will probably just start crying again. Its late here and cant play piano too loud...so it would be pretty pointless to get upset right now. I dont know what to do with myself except continue getting rediculously good and taking life as it comes. Im in hock up to my ears right now with a new piano and all...school sucks! I wouldnt feel so crappy if it wasnt for school. Spring break is in a week. I have plans to stay at home. I really hate a certain professor right now, for not caring. I might have to move in 6 months! That would really suck for a lot of people, apparently. Wtffff somebody please find me a competition or a festival that is coming up! Please!

Never enough time, money, etc. 

I believe this is a new low point in my life.  Yet, it's the outside world that's changed really.  Not me.  Stinks.

Women who park in the middle of the road to drop their fat kids off to school should be machine gunned.

Women who park in the middle of the road to drop their fat kids off to school should be machine gunned.

Aren't at least some of them more likely to be run into from behind by someone in another car?

Why only women?

Why only obese children?

Why a machine gun rather than any other kind of weapon?

Who should do the machine gunning and at whose expense should it and the inevitable subsequent police, legal and judicial proceesings be?

Best,
