Last post wins!!!!!

Monospace, too.

That's what's so awful about it. A lowercase 'l' takes up the same amount of space as a capital M, which is not the way we would write it.

Sure if you're a detective in 1940's New York and you own your own detective agency, and you've just been given a typed note from your secretary...

But not in the 21st century. I think we should ban the font entirely!!!

I'm starting to like the new guy... but yeah, there are tons of pieces harder than La Campanella; and there's no way Cziffras recordings were sped up. He was basically a genius at piano.

Welcome to the forums Chopin39... and yes, the 2nd to last post wins thread is rather meagre and pathetic in my opinion. A vain attempt to try and win at something else... (not that I have anything against transitional or anything)

Still think that after he said he doesn't know what "Bach WTC" is?
And no, STLPW is superior in every regard except for raw post count.

TBH I was expecting some form of reaction to the fact that he doesn't know who BACH is...

[frodo5]

A: La Capanella is the hardest piece ever written.
B: No it's not.
A: Yes it is.  It is on many top 10 lists as the hardest piano piece.
B: You're crazy.

I don't particularly enjoy his pieces, but I wouldn't say he sucks.

This guy does, though.

So does this guy.

I've never been a fan of Ludovico Einaudi... however some of his scores wouldn't be too bad if they were accompanying film scenes which is probably why he's as successful as he is.

He's one of the only people who have tried to make 4 or 8 chords repeatedly interesting... and many a time failed.

Well, I have some good news.

REALLY??? You're going to compare Scott Morrison; a pleb, an idiot, a moron and a schmuck who is so desperate for attention that he grabs people just to shake their hands... with Trump; a pleb, a moron... and a...

Okay... at least Morrison didn't have as big an ego as Trump, and he sure doesn't have indictments against him.

The opposite of confirmation bias is falsification bias, which is the tendency to actively seek out evidence that disproves one's current point of view.  I AM LOOKING FOR falsification of my ideas please - but not from a certain individual - only because that individual needs to learn to discuss in a civilized manner.  Too late now though on that subject.  Sorry - maybe next subject if a civil tone is shown.

How can you be looking for falsification of your ideas if you refuse to accept any such falsification as having any truth to it?
Also, please, quote where I was being "uncivilized" in that conversation. I would like to correct my mistakes in the future.

Where are the scientifically minded people here?!?! - OOPS - My bad.  Brogers70 gave me a tongue lashing for this.

This was in response to essence who said "It's a funny thing, hardness. Very subjective. Everybody has a different body and skills. Musical? Physical?"

I see that he is a scientist and statistician.  But he did not appear to have his scientist and statistician hat on when he made his comment.  I agree - difficulty is subjective for an individual.  But I was referring to an average of a large group of world class pianists.  I will respond to essence should he comment.

Again my bad.  This concludes my conversation here.

Well think of it this way, I assume you are not an expert gymnast? Would an impossible flip A be any more difficult than impossible flip B if both are impossible for you? The relative experience is that both are impossible and describing the difference in difficulty of both would just go over your head and be meaningless since you cannot experience it.

Of course considering the top 100 pianists in the world would also express an answer that would just go over the heads of the vast majority of people you are trying to explain to. Also the top 100 pianists would find practically a huge amount of repertoire "doable" and difficulty is merely measured within a time factor not a skill one.

Difficulty measurements in piano really then don't make much sense to most people other than just a very broad level tag to allow for the subjectivity of the measurements. If we are talking to highly skilled pianists who have the capability to actually feel the difference in difficulty then we analyse exact bars of music and contrast and compare, funny thing is that interest discussions usually never do this, because those measuring the difficulty would find them all impossible and thus have no concept of what impossible is more impossible.

How about you get your own 'Winner' banner, you lazy bastard.

Can't quickly do a google search? You have to copy & paste mine??? That's almost as lazy as your pathetic attempts to win by merely typing:

[my] pathetic attempts to win by merely typing:

You have still not provided any proof of me saying that.

[perfect_pitch]

Your argument is invalid since my statement about you posting 'win' as a mere post was relevant.

I never said you called anyone a 'lazy git'. You merely quoted my post but didn't realise that by quoting my post, it wouldn't include the quote of you saying 'win'...

I wasn't deflecting... my point about your laziness in one word posts was the crux of my arguments. If anything, you're the one who tried to deflect by trying to change the argument. Seems like the one using deflection was you.

You were wrong... deal with it.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Then what's this?

You don't understand what a strawman is, yet constantly use it?

You still not provided any proof that I've ever called someone "a lazy git."

If so, then I'm correct and none of this should have happened.

Were you supposed to keep that thought to yourself?

Eh, doesn't matter. I can demonstrate my winningnessability at the same time as your losingnessability without trolling you.

[perfect_pitch]

Yeah... you're also great at displaying your shitty spelling and failure to wield grammar as well.

Maybe learn to spell and use words correctly, and then you'll be allowed at the big boys table.

Take your "losingnessability" (not a word) and bugger off.
