Nanosecond Piece - Piano Competition
on: May 29, 2013, 11:55:34 AM
Next week, I am entering a competition and need a piece that is a billionth of a second long.

I can play the complete works of Xenakis but struggle with Fur Elise.

Does anyone have any suggestions??

xenarkis is a song by abba right?

If there is even one note in this piece it must be hardest piano piece ever written, since it is played so fast! :o

Wow, very amusing. I am splitting my sides laughing at your wit.

Do you have some sort of personal vendetta against me? Everything I have told you is true, yet you seem unable to believe it and have the ability to say nothing but negative things.

Would your prefer if I refrained from posting on the forum? I shall, as I don't suffer fools.

No, I do not.

Perhaps I have been here too long and have seen too many claims from too many members that have turned out to be utter rubbish.

We have all be fooled before, so you must forgive my suspicions. Nobody would be more happy than me, if you were to prove me completely wrong.

Perhaps you could commission Plinkovsky to write something especially for the occasion.

Thal,

That is fair enough. I apologise if I overreacted.

I understand the annoyance of people spamming forums. Perhaps this one gets much more than others as it is a classical music forum which is not popular with the new generation, particularly the internet trolls.

I am just frustrated as I am completely genuine, although even I admit what I have said is quite far-fetched, particularly to people who do not know me personally. In any case what I have said is perfectly true, I have no interest in annoying people online, that is a waste of time.

I shall prove I am genuine.

And I also promise I have no idea who this 'the89thkey' is.

Thalbergmad, you always make me smile  :)

You are one of the persons who make me staying on this forum despite the negativity that is present on some threads. And I miss your posts when you are a while without posting. You have a very healthy and intelligent sense of humor which I think is very necessary on these days.  Fortunately we have persons like you and others.

Thank you very much, everyone.
