Out of topic yet fascinating.

[mjames]

That only works if you're good looking too. Then agan, if you were that good looking you wouldn't need a piano to help you get laid in the first place. Video is kinda pointless ;(  


yes I know it's a joke

Out of topic yet fascinating.

Piano playing has never gotten me laid, nor has it had me struggling to catch my breath over someone. Also, I posted that video to show how being sexy can go so wrong!!! haha

[kakeithewolf]

If learning to play piano gets me laid, that's an incredibly strong incentive NOT to learn how to play piano.

[Bob]

I think this was posted before. 

You just need to have an instrument in your hands from what I've seen. 

The other catch is the "be careful what you wish for" idea.  Someone dumb enough to go for someone who looks like a musician might not be worth it.


How long does this effect take to kick in by the way?  A few decades?

No sarcasm intended it was rather fascinating and amusing, specially the Rubinstein part.

You could always skip the laid part and frustrate the fan girls even further to the point of stalking.

The piano is special. You know it to be true, look deep inside you its the whole monochromatic theme perhaps.

[Bob]

I think I know what's going on here now.    ...Except for the space part.

Now THAT I could live with.

[alistaircrane4]

I don't know about laid but it works to wow a girl easily. I can't tell you how many girls i played pathetique second movement for and said i wrote this for you and they nearly passed out lol. But when you compose a real piece for a girl they go nuts I've composed for so many girls and they have begged me for more pieces

@ senanserat

A very good piece to make a girl's heart melt:

 
Disclaimer: you may have to practise until you reach an age at which fulfilling your ultimate desire becomes rather problematic...

[flashyfingers]

Also, play some Schoenberg for me and turn me on...said no girl ever.

But since I am a classical musician, I really love hearing THIS. It's nice and it's different type of expression.

Talk about making your heart melt.

Is that transcription so difficult? Sounds sight-readable at a moderate tempo to me. Am I awfully wrong?

Do not assume such things! Plinky music can be very sexy

The notes are fairly easy to understand and learn (you can actually do it by ear alone). It's the requirements of tone production and timing, however, that will prevent the average Joe from opening a chastity belt with this magic key anytime soon.

I'm sure I can do a decent job with a higher purpose in mind

Are you quite certain that neither Mrs Schönberg ever said that before they became Mrs Schönberg?

Best,

MAAAAN,...I wish someone would call me mrs Schönberg!! I would be so proud

[Bob]

I think Schoenberg could do that.

[flashyfingers]

I think Schoenberg could do that.

my balloons just popped...

[coda_colossale]

Do you guys (esp. flashyfingers) think the symphonie fantastique trick is cool-efficious? I think I might start composing one for future use 

[flashyfingers]

Do you guys (esp. flashyfingers) think the symphonie fantastique trick is cool-efficious? I think I might start composing one for future use 

Of course!!!



A large scale work like that is more like saying "I am in love with you" or.."will you marry me", in my opinion. hahahah

[liszt1022]

So we're clear, she missed the premiere. Then when her career was pretty much over she attended a performance, then she and Berlioz had a very unhappy relationship.

Impromptu it is then... Or Fantasy-Impromptu?

But, what is the point of so much work if your relationship is already at that level? I was looking for a head-starter. Being the not-so-attractive snob I am, I don't think I have a good chance at such things.

So we're clear, she missed the premiere. Then when her career was pretty much over she attended a performance, then she and Berlioz had a very unhappy relationship.

Just when she was most vulnerable. Bam!

But what if you know about the personality of the dedicatee? That she is not merely a physical representation of your "idee fixe"?

[senanserat]

I think playing more obscure pieces works the best. Obviously not everyone but I've found that most people that aren't used to listening to older music gravitates toward a more...cliche pieces.

I really don't like Fur Elise (too mainstream yo) but the average girl seems to love it for some reason. The thing is that playing something more obscure shrouds you in an aura of mystery.

Also I tried the composition thing in the video for the lols the other day and the results were amazing, I had to run away shortly because I couldn't keep my giggles to myself (I'm a bloke)

This is going to my "..to be learned" folder inside my head in the C: root. Amazing, doesn't seem that difficult yet it convey a "I gonna use you like a fast food napkin" feeling. I wonder if the sheet is free.

men disgust me and this is why I am completely and utterly done with finding "love".

[outin]

But not the B-men I hope?!

Besides, men are fine, you just need to lower your expectations a bit  

Edit: Some typos are just too much...

[j_menz]

you just need to lover your expectations a bit 

Freud would be so happy.

so you is a lezz? I love lezz's, i could marry one.

[dima_76557]

I don't think it has been published officially. There is some info here about the author with an e-mail to contact him: https://oeis.org/wiki/User:Karol_A._Penson

Another option is to get the original Francisco Tárrega guitar version (free public domain from IMSLP) and use that to get everything right. The Penson transcription follows this version very precisely. If you want to hear how guitarists play this piece, listen to Pepe Romero.

[flashyfingers]

so you is a lezz? I love lezz's, i could marry one.

Well, I'm not lezz, but if I don't have to have sex with you, we can get married! SHA ZAM!

Or, rather, I would tell you I am lezz, and marry you and never have sex with you. (I guess that's what I meant?...I'm not funny :[

[senanserat]

What about more feminine men like those lads from those boy bands? Dem cute amirite?

[theholygideons]

yeah, like them wiggles.

I love that someone is actually talking to me. omg, omg.

Then again why bother? I did housetrain a couple of guys on my younger days, but I don't think it's really worth it to share your space/time too much. Cats are better... Or dogs in your case

Cats and dogs are way better than men. This is true.

LOL
Housetrain, I get it! Because they are sort of like pets...BAHAHAHAH

take that, you perverts!

You are an awesome human being.

[coda_colossale]

Wow, apparently Berlioz was engaged to Marie-Félicité-Denise Moke at the time he wrote the symphony. Not only that, but he also plotted to murder her and her family and then commit suicide when she called of the engagement.

[flashyfingers]

You're sweet!!

WHAT?!! Is this serious?!

Like a boss. He prolly had all the monologue down in his head as well.

[flashyfingers]

 Is that crazy? I thought everyone did that!

[coda_colossale]

He must have sucked at picking up chicks.

Are you telling us that you have a monologue prepared in case you decide to kill your future fiancé?

I can't tell you how many girls i played pathetique second movement for and said i wrote this for you and they nearly passed out lol.

HAHAHAHAHA. I have to try that with a Chopin nocturne

[outin]

Are you telling us that you have a monologue prepared in case you decide to kill your future fiancé?

Remember, you're talking to someone who's pick up line is something like "Wanna break some bones with me?"

But it would be more important to have a good plan on how to get rid of the body...

This is freaky!! Have we met before?! You get me!!!

I'm no pianist, for sure, but it nevertheless occurs to me that the acts of playing the piano (or learning to do so) and of lying down seem somehow to be physically incompatible, for what that nugget of information may or may not be worth as a contribution to this thread (for what said thread may or may not be worth)...

Well, I've seen someone play piano upside down, so lying down shouldn't be impossible.
