1. If you are using Firefox, switch to another browser.

2. Clear the cache of your browser.

3. Try again.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

It's only Manhattan School of music. 

I just uploaded my Beethoven to NEC, and I didn't have a problem with them. 

No, I don't think I can zip them together, I'm not using firefox, and I'm gonna clear the cache in a sec.

I saw that video. It would make me happier if he knew anything about what he was talking about  When it comes to music at least. He got all the math and sciencey stuff down... I guess?

A notable violonist (Joshua Bell) is playing an amazing and extremely difficult piece by J.S.Bach.
However, almost nobody cares about it!

[oxy60]

This is the perfect example of why a classical music station could only count 350,000 listeners out of a population of 20,000,000!

[rachmaninoff_forever]

So I gotta submit my college apps by Saturday.

But today my father told me that he's not paying for for music school applications.  *** you dad.

I'll see if I can get my music theory teacher to pay for some of them.

What's affected - which applications?

[rachmaninoff_forever]

What's affected - which applications?

Roosevelt (CCPA)
NEC
San Francisco conservatory
Boston conservatory
Manhattan school of music
Oberlin conservatory

And even the schools he TOLD ME to apply to:

UIC
Depaul


I'm pretty sure I can get my music theory teacher to take care of some of those conservatories, but after that I have to worry about traveling expenses.  My former teacher said that I can crash at his place for Boston and Manhattan, and my aunt will take care of San Francisco, but Oberlin and U of I my dad's not gonna drive me there.

[outin]

Parents...

Don't you have anything to blackmail him with? Like tell him that if you can't apply you might as well go smoke some crack...

You could of course sell your boards and cubes...

[Bob]

I wondering where I should get another "Genius at work" sign.  I put one out while I'm practicing.  My current one has worn out.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Today is the day that I perform in front of judges for the first time.

And do you guys know what I'm wearing?

MY WOODEN BOWTIE!!!

























It's magnetic

[outin]

^Be careful...there's some iron inside pianos, you know...

[j_menz]

It's magnetic

How do they magnetise wood? 

Oh, and knock 'em dead!!

[rachmaninoff_forever]

You could hear them writing while you were playing, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Everyone was freaking Asian and there were 300 people there what the freaking heck?!?!!?

We find out tomorrow, I hope I get into the gold medal recital.

[outin]

We find out tomorrow, I hope I get into the gold medal recital.

Was it a competition? what did you play?

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Was it a competition? what did you play?

I still don't know what it was.

I play the first movement of the Beethoven sonata.

It wasn't as good as the recording in terms of stray notes I don't think.    But...  Whatever dude.

EDIT:

It turns out I broke one of the rules.  I was supposed to play it without repeats.

[vsrinivasa]

I need to go get a new E string for my violin, and make rice, and call my cousin, and call the piano tuner, and email Trinity about LTCL prerequisites, and...

I have too much to do, AND it's my birthday...

[unholeee]

[outin]

I play the first movement of the Beethoven sonata.

Maybe next time play the Bach or the one that I can't spell 

Hope it was a nice experiment!

[dinom]

Thinking of gangnam style. Psy will perform in Singapore.

[Bob]

Do think the serialists, Second Viennesse School, or anything one like that... if they had a significant other.... that they had "a song" that was theirs?  "Honey, do you recognize that 12-tone row?  I think they're playing our song."

[Bob]

In the South, during olden times, did they say "ye all?"

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Gold medal!

Valentina Lisitsa must've answered my prayers!
 

[outin]

Gold medal!

Valentina Lisitsa must've answered my prayers!

Wow, congratulations!

So you are praying to her now...

[rachmaninoff_forever]

So you are praying to her now...

That's because I can't live without her!

But to be honest, the judges probably just wanted to ask me where I got the wooden bow tie.

[vsrinivasa]

what is the day of ur birth?

December 1 (do you mean year?)

The 15th in the cycle you posted by Schoenberg was actually written in response to his wife (temporarily) leaving him for the embrace of a young Austrian painter. It was his first piece not written in a key. 

Perhaps that 12-tone row would not have brought back happy memories (at least for him).

[chopin2015]

Gold medal!

Valentina Lisitsa must've answered my prayers!
 

Congratulations!! Knock em dead!

[vsrinivasa]

Congratulations! I heard some of your playing in the Audition Room and it was great.

I have this calc test tomorrow.

I know everything, but I'm going to fail it anyways.

Why? If you know everything you should be good to go, but if you really think you're going to fail, there's always the Pianostreet Calculus Group...

Lol I made the group.

It's been like that for almost every test in the class.

Prior to it, I know everything.  During, I know nothing.  After it, I know everything. 

I've only passed like two tests and a quiz.

I know the feeling. I felt like that when I took the DipABRSM. I felt like I had prepared enough for the Viva Voce before the exam, then, during the exam, my mind went blank. Afterwards, I thought of LOADS of things I could say. I still passed with distinction though!

[j_menz]

Prior to it, I know everything.  During, I know nothing.  After it, I know everything. 

The secret is to change the order.

Prior, know nothing, during know everything, after know nothing.

Starbucks double espresso shot.  Nice small can. Tastes like coffee (because it is).  Nice caffeine kick.  Beats Red Bull I think.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

I have to go to freaking bed.
