How would you break this piece up to practice?
What are the most difficult elements/parts of this piece?
No, I didn't miss the point. I realized there was no point so I preceded to make fun of it.
The photographic comment was sarcasm. as should have been pretty obvious from the context. If you read my original post you'd realize that I hadn't actually started practicing it yet. I'm coming back after a period of relative inactivity with the piano and was curious whether anyone had any helpful advice.
Also, because we're both members of the homo sapien race, presumably there might be some similarities between our cognitive processes...

By the way, as a superficial douchebag prick you make a great addition to the forums, welcome! You would think the statement is sarcasm, but it's not. I love going on these drunken derisive rants, and posters such as yourself are perfect targets.
For some reason, I actually assumed that you touched the piece a little bit from your initial post. However, there were like 3 days in between your original post and your response. I assumed that someone curious enough about a piece to make a forum post would actually go and spend some time on it
So my suspicions are confirmed. You're not pompous, just a prick. I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were a little kid that wasn't being sarcastic. Perhaps you're both a prick and a little kid? I hope I make you cry
Quote from: chickenfried1 on August 31, 2013, 12:56:58 AMAlso, because we're both members of the homo sapien race, presumably there might be some similarities between our cognitive processes...You've been upgraded from prick to douchebag now.
One point you keep harping on is that "problems are particular to the student." You're definitely painting it too black and white....
Closely connected to this point is your point that "people learn differently." Despite this you presume way too much about my learning style....
The fact that this is not your particular learning style is irrelevant....I'm not quite sure how posting a forum doesn't qualify as "spend(ing) some time on it."...
Any advise on how to tackle this piece? I'm just getting started.Thanks in advance
Another thing I find interesting is your choice of words in insulting me. Seems just a little childish. Irony, methinks?
Since you're particularly thick headed, I'll elaborate. Let me ask you, is it efficient to discuss the set of all problems a1-an, when you only have problem a2, a12, and a888? Addressing all problems in general, whether you belong in class A which includes all students that have problems a1,a2,a3, in class B which include all students that have problems a3,a4,a42, or in whatever class you're actually in is a huge waste of time when we're offering to address the problems specific to you.Getting an overview is fine, but this wasn't you seeking an overview; you were procrastinating.
You consider writing the following 3 sentences spending time?
I never claimed that I wasn't childish. I would actually say I'm VERY childish! Also, I'm a total prick. Based on your response we could potentially remove douchebag from the list, however I prefer to escalate things:I will always remember you as that superficial, douchebag, f**ktard that asked for advise.
Um, who's bringing superficial to a new level now?I could go on, but I don't want to stretch your attention span to too great lengths otherwise you'll get distracted and just start making mindless insults again.
With respect to the actual conversation , at least make an attempt to be consistent....Am I wasting time, or am I not? You can't have it both ways.
Was I asking that we address "all problems?"
I'm not sure what it is, I guess you just have a tendency to look at music in a very confined, mathematical (not quite the right word, but can't think of the right one right now) manner, like there's a set grocery list of things I have to check off. Or at the very least, you are a proponent of rigid militant efficiency. Not exactly a very musical perspective.
This might be a characterization of you; maybe you're actually genuinely concerned about me and others wasting our time. But if you're concerned about your precious time, then why waste time responding?
How is spending time on a forum not procrastinating? You claim to be "getting an overview", but what are you really doing (or not doing in this case)? You're NOT learning op. 10 no. 12. You might have only wrote 3 sentences (in other words you initially didn't procrastinate much), but what about the time spent coming back to this thread, reading the responses, and replying (like you are right now!).
Anyway, by using the phrase "cognitive processes" you're implicitly acknowledging concepts from psychology. If I remember correctly, according to Jungian psychology which first defined cognitive processes, people have differing levels of mastery over the various cognitive skills. In other words: people learn differently.
In your reply, you previously stated that the number of problems are not infinite and that you would only have a certain subset of all problems. Why not approach the problems you encounter when learning a piece and mentally make a list or problems you need to address much like a grocery list of things you need to check off? I personally do this. Claiming that this is not a musical perspective is reaching and superficial (you're not making any inferences).
written* 3 sentences, you ignorant savage.
i doubt theres a cognitive skill in the brain that specifically determines your ability to play arpeggios, one that determines your ability to play trills, one that determines your ability to play scales. so, in terms of piano technique, people don't learn differently based on jungian psychology. unless playing arpeggios and playing trills are controlled by distinct cognitive areas. (which seems retarded, l0l)pls go bak to barbairan land wher u andur horridgrammer and uninformd oversimplications will fitin with sositey. jk
I am seriously wondering if you're retarded.
I'd say schizophrenic.
Wrote is active while written is passive. Should I elaborate?Who is ignorant now?
Either someone has a keyboard incompatibility issue or is in need for typing/grammar lessons...
u have conceded defete 2 my superior intelect
I've generally found that people with a superior intellect can at least spell it.
This thread is gold. Hehe.
This is probably the best thread ever. I had my fun reading it over and over and over.
Wow! Just Wowww. Was planning to respond to lojay, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the hilarity of this thread. So, yes you might say I'm procrastinating, that is with respect to responding. Or at least procrastinating with respect to procrastination. I mean, why put it off? Procrastinate now! I'm a little curious how I'm schizophrenic though. Not denying it, just curious. Can I have some examples, @perfect pitch (or lojay since you apparantly know what he's talking about)?

Clearly, that wasn't directed at you lol.I'm not even going to bother with swagmaster420x. Full troll.
At least I know basic grammatical rules, you ignorant swine.A wise philosopher once said that people ignore that which vexes them the most because thetyre retarded.
My typing wpm is 99th percentile, 100th if u round to the nearest whole percentile. Plus i thot it s already been established that i have gotten a perfect score on the grammar section of a national aptitude test, so i am lacking in neither of those areas. Please dont rush to hasty conclusions about people u dont know, there is in fact an adjective for that its called faggot .
He's lying. It's obviously all made up, so why are we even trying to respond to him?Seriously, you guys have no sense of when someone is trolling you. With a name like "swagmaster420x," you guys continue to even respond to him. I feel like the responses i got in my "suggestions for advanced pianist" are echoed throughout this whole forum.
Also, what's your steam? :3
