Second to last post wins!!!!!!

[orgarnic]

Will this be the next page?

[orgarnic]

Yes! New page for me. Also, you guys realize you can change the number of posts on each page to whatever number you want, so the only way you can't have your post on a new page is if your post number was prime.

[orgarnic]

Where is it? I could have sworn I saw it somewhere...

[liszt-and-the-galops]

La Campanella is just show-off music. There is no question about that. It is just for people to say, I know how to play the "hardest song" ever made.

You may flame me for this, but I believe that moonlight sonata has some degree of musicality included; it isn't just some mindless trash. (This is without regard to the 3rd movement, which is also show-off music)

Quintuple posting for a new page is ridiculous...

I've also already set a precedent on the New Page Tracker that posting more times in a row than specified by the thread to get a new page isn't allowed and won't count, so this post is technically the one that "wins" the new page.

Meanwhile yqxpiano's claim of getting page 23 didn't work out either way.

I'm aware of this; in fact I track the New Page statistics for 5 posts/page on the unofficial New Page Tracker (in addition to the standard 50 posts/page). Though there's not really a point in tracking anything other than those two.

[orgarnic]

But... why? Why would you make a "New Page Tracker" for something like this? ehhh.. I do weirder stuff when i'm bored

[orgarnic]

Such as quintiple post for a new page...

[liszt-and-the-galops]

But... why? Why would you make a "New Page Tracker" for something like this?

Because I'm obsessed with statistics and find it fun to keep track of. Gives me a little more motivation to keep posting here, too (though with transitional being largely inactive, any semblance of competition in the categories that I'm tracking is rapidly fading away).

[liszt-and-the-galops]

In regards to your font size thing on LPW, the biggest it can go is 99pt, I think.
Extremely oversized example.

[orgarnic]

[size=100pt]Trying if 100 works[/size]

[orgarnic]

yeah nah

[liszt-and-the-galops]

[size=100pt]Trying if 100 works[/size]

Nope. ;)

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Dang it, I was trying to reset my record for fastest response time but I was a second short of tying it. :(

[yqxpiano]

I admit defeat to LATG, but orgarnic you really didn’t have to quintuple post to try to get a new page. Please.
Also odd reply

[liszt-and-the-galops]

I admit defeat to LATG, but orgarnic you really didn’t have to quintuple post to try to get a new page. Please.

Starting to seem like you winning post 1000 was a bit of a fluke, honestly...

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Starting to seem like you winning post 1000 was a bit of a fluke, honestly...

An impressive fluke, but a fluke nonetheless.

And I'm going to preemptively say that I'll withdraw these two posts if yqxpiano gets the next new page on this thread.

[yqxpiano]

Sonata no. 5 Opus Archimagicum is long, beautiful, and very much Sorabji at his best.

Le Jardin Parfume is also pretty good and a bit on the shorter side.

If you want earlier Sorabji then probably his Spanish Fantasy. Fair warning though: it's even more horrifying than Liszt's, lmao.

Sonata V is also more horrifying than Liszt lol. 8 hours of torture.

[yqxpiano]

Not sure about le jardin perfume, but from what I know about sorabji it’s probably still difficult.
The opus archimagicum (sonata v) is honestly very nice.
Some beautiful chord progressions only sorabji could dream of.

Too bad nobody can perform it, 

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Sonata V is also more horrifying than Liszt lol. 8 hours of torture.

Oh absolutely. It easily gets my vote for the hardest piano piece ever written.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Sonata V is also more horrifying than Liszt lol. 8 hours of torture.

The reason I pointed it out when I was talking about Sorabji's Spanish Fantasy is because Liszt's most difficult piece is also a "Spanish Fantasy."

[yqxpiano]

The reason I pointed it out when I was talking about Sorabji's Spanish Fantasy is because Liszt's most difficult piece is also a "Spanish Fantasy."

Really? Not grand galop chromatique?

[yqxpiano]

Yes, spanish fantasy is hardest Liszt. So hard Liszt had to downgrade it to Spanish rhapsody. I searched for a recording on YouTube and I couldn’t tell if it was sped up.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Really? Not grand galop chromatique?

Not even top 40. Galop in A Minor is up there though (probably top 20-ish).

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Yes, spanish fantasy is hardest Liszt. So hard Liszt had to downgrade it to Spanish rhapsody. I searched for a recording on YouTube and I couldn’t tell if it was sped up.

This is the only worthwhile recording of it:

Plus, there are other pieces that Liszt "downgraded." S. 137 Douze Grande Etudes --> S. 139 Transcendental Etudes, S. 140 Etudes d'Execution Transcendant d'Après Paganini --> S. 141 Paganini Etudes, and S. 142 Etude de Perfectionnement --> S. 143 Morceau de Salon all immediately come to mind.

[yqxpiano]

Not even top 40. Galop in A Minor is up there though (probably top 20-ish).

I thought you would prefer, you know, galops. 

[yqxpiano]

Though of course if we are talking about liszt’s hardest work then galop is not it.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

I thought you would prefer, you know, galops. 

I do like a lot of Liszt's Galops (S. 219 Grand Galop Chromatique especially). It's how I got my username.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Though of course if we are talking about liszt’s hardest work then galop is not it.

But yeah, compared to stuff like the Douze Grande Etudes, La Clochette, Lucrezia Borgia, or the Beethoven Symphony Transcriptions, they aren't that impossible.

At this point we could make an entire Matt Rose video on your posts...

Okay, those are actually pretty good. Nice find.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

This is the third or fourth time in a row that you've posted an "I win" image.

It's also the third or fourth time in a row that you've failed to win after posting an "I win" image.

[gasplamey]

Okay, those are actually pretty good. Nice find.

Tahnkbs.

A one-word, horribly-misspelled response that wasn't even in Courier.

Caut yuo batwen postgsz.

[orgarnic]

we should converse in leetspeak, though not ultra 1337

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Caught you between posts, I guess.

I was trying to find an image that said something like "yay...?" but apparently those take more than a few seconds to find, so have this half-_ssed response.
