So I made a bet with a couple people doing the talent show this year.

Whoever doesn't come in first place has to wear leggings to school.

And if nobody comes in first place, everyone has to wear leggings except for the person who placed the highest.

But I'm pretty sure one of us is gonna get first. 

That La Campanella should freaking seal the deal!

[ajspiano]

That La Campanella should freaking seal the deal!

The ability to play it well should also be impressive enough to counteract any negative effects of wearing leggings in public.

Interesting business model.

I always figured if I every recorded anything I might as well just give it away since it wouldn't make any money.

Bob created the longest-ever thread in the history of pianostreet...

[unholeee]

hrmmm i liquored my housemate up the other night with cider.
jumped on his bed today (as he doesn't like to get up before 3pm, i cant say i particularly like to either) to go to a piano recital.
he said really good player. plays the ravel sonatine..much better than me (that's a given).
And said he didn't like the last piece at all (prokofiev op 83 no 7).

Then he ditched me to meet someone at uni, and i had to catch a bus home! and then a bus back to work. To be fair she sounded really cute on the bluetooth in the car - i have no idea what she was saying though. But i told him he's in for it now, im going to practice that prokofiev just for him. And then imslp is saying its in copyright!!! noooooo

[unholeee]

yes, f u proxy lists and imslp. found the score on here. yay!

Who the heck is Frank Liszt???

I see the intro one is longer.  I thought there was a 'fall' word association one that was the longest.


On my mind... I'm freaking exhausted.  And I still have to practice....

[Bob]

Funny.

Where the freaking heck are my freaking glasses?!?!?!  I am SOOOOO mad right now!!!  I only got them less than a month ago and they're SOOOOO freaking expensive what the heck?!?!?!?!?  150 freaking dollars!!!!!!

I remember where I last had them and where I put them, but now they're gone what the heck?! 

One word...

THIEF!!!

And I'm not saying that just to defend myself, I've ruled out all other posibilities.  So someone freaking stole them!  But why the heck would you freaking steal prescription glasses in the first place you freaking douchebag!!!

[perprocrastinate]

[!!!]

I stole them and sold them to the black market. I'm sorry. I had to pay for my AP exam fees. My school is practically robbing me, with each AP exam at $89.

La Campanella
Beethoven sonata Op. 13 No. 8
Bach p&f in WTC 1 in a flat major

[birba]

Please tell me you didn't write down the beethoven sonata like that...
It was the campanella that did it, i bet.  I can just hear you now...

[j_menz]

Sweet! Congrats! 

(I only just now figured out "freaking scholar freaking ship"  )

I use google translate on R4's posts - makes life much simpler!

Oh, and I actually bet it was the Bach.

That sonata has the freaking dumbest name ever!  Almost as dumb as the moonlight sonata!

Yeah, the Liszt probably did it.  I'm also playing it for the talent show.  Yes boi...

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Oh, and I actually bet it was the Rach.

But I didn't play the Rachmaninoff for this one!

It took me a while to get what happened, but congratulations and it was deserved!

I am sure it was not the Bach...it must have been your modern piece with the composer whose name I can't spell 

[birba]

But I didn't play the Rachmaninoff for this one!

Only a genuine hacker would be able to change the "B" to "R" in the quote from jmenz's comment.   

[birba]

And just to set the record straight, Rach4, the beethoven is presented thus (if you insist on using the chronological number of the sonata):
 
L.v.Beethoven    -     Sonata no. 8, op. 13
                       But better:

L.v.Beethoven.    -    Sonata, op. 13 ("Pathetique")

With the accent aigu over the first "e" of course...

 

[starlady]

Congratulations, Rach4; that's a very good school.

If our blood was based on Iron, turning it green, what color would the stop lights be?

[j_menz]

Do you mean copper?  It's already based on iron.

The colour of stoplights has to do with visual perception of colours, which is unrelated to the composition of the blood, so I would suppose they would carry on being much the same.
