Ravel's Ondine. Mysterious, large dynamic changes, and terribly difficult. It would be cool if the neighbor interrupted at like 3:52 when it's about to explode. I don't know how you would convey that though.Cool story BTW, I want to read it when you're done.
Emily's soulful and passionate rendition of Ravel's Ondine was the best ever. No one can even compare, especially Pogorelich. Today, what is left of her will be placed in the kitchen of the Temple of the Great Boddhisivatsa Emily.
The 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody by Franz Liszt--
This is amazing! The dynamics at 3:52 is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks so much! I promise that I'll post a link to my story here when it's finished and edited. Thanks again.
You do like that one, don't you?
Ah yes, the pinky extends...
Is this a reference to the so-called Chinese middle finger?
Bugs Bunny, genius.
Oh, whew, I thought you were on Kyle's side
I kind of like sitting on the fence, it makes it very entertaining.
well, did you see Kyle's Karma Danger Powers run out? His racist statements got him kicked out or something.
You're quite the one to be talking about racism...
OMG, if you try to write W T F, PS changes it to "what"
what what
what maaaaaaanand what's this about kyle and racism... have I really missed out on that much stuffwho even is kyle and if it's "kypiano" I mean I thought he was pretty chill this whole time...
I don't get it... are these "pianostreet" inside jokes?is it even possible to be serious in school while not being cut off from the outside world?and why are you texting in class...I have no school today but you??
ok an older musician listening to a senior piano major perform ... I am going to go out on a limb and give you a very well-known piece for your character to be rehearsing.The 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody by Franz Liszt--in the older musician's time... it was the barometer piece for how talented a pianist was... (this was true up through the early 90's -- after that there really was no "barometer piece.") now this piece is rather cliche... but it would make perfect sense that the older pianist would be familiar with certain things about this piece that maybe even the student's teacher at university, is not aware of.there is a bunch of "circus fare" in this piece which, if not played correctly, makes this particular piece of music impossible. At 7:33 or so there is a commonly caked spot where students then to really pound it out and run out of energy in their hands because they are holding on to too much tension... if your older pianist interrupted there and showed your character how to overcome this... it would be believable.. I don't know it it will work for your story.. but it's believable...
You guys are a riot. Be careful, you may end up in the story, haha.
The clouds covered the moon, blocking off the little remaining light. In desperation, *the character* dashed to the home of schumaniac, where pencilart was playing a mysterious prelude. He stumbled out the door and almost bumped into rubinsteinmad, who quickly punched him in the face."Oh," said rubinsteinmad, "I thought you were kypiano."
Do you happen to have sheet music for "Ondine?" I'd like to know the specific measure that has the moment of explosion. It might be easier than counting the measures from the YouTube video, haha.
