Music

Im dissapointed. i thought it was going to epicer…

Yeah.

Who's Family Force 5?

Dies Best band ever. Well not anymore, with there new singer. :(

To all of you piano experts, what do you think of Frederic Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu, Op. 66?

I'm actually working on perfecting that very piece right now. It's painful, but playable. :P

I think its absolutely beautiful! :) Are you playing it?

Have you ever played Nocturne op 55 no 1 by Chopin? (I am working on it for next years piano competition…. :) ) Or Copland's Cat and Mouse?

How long have you played piano?

Haha, no. It will be a long time till I can play that.

Have you ever played Nocturne op 55 no 1 by Chopin? (I am working on it for next years piano competition.... :) ) Or Copland's Cat and Mouse? How long have you played piano?

I don't believe so… I'd have to look it up to make sure though.

I've been playing for at least 10 years now, my mom probably started trying to teach me more like 12 years ago. :)

Wow, that's a long time! I wish I had started that young….I was almost 11 when I started. :(

OK. :P I like your picture!

OK. :P I like your picture!

Yeah, I'm not that good at piano. I've only been playing for 3 years…so I'm learning stuff more like Maple Leaf Rag, Golliwogg's Cake-walk, Sonata K. 545, Rage Over a Lost Penny, and such.

Haha, thanks - it's my double! xD

Oh, wow! You are really, really good for having played for 3 years! I thought that I was decently good for having played 5 years. Now I feel bad! :D

Don't listen to Rosie say that she's not good at piano…she's really good! :) I've heard her play!

Oh, wow! You are *really, really* good for having played for 3 years! I thought that *I* was decently good for having played 5 years. Now I feel bad! :D

Well, they are definitely challenging, and will take me months to complete! I wouldn't say that I am 100% up to that level though - I still have a lot of music "knowledge"/theory to learn!
I'm sure you play great!! =)

@Bethany - I might be able to play some really good pieces, but that isn't what makes a pianist good…so I don't think I'm very good in that sense.

I had an idea…I've done this with some friends before, but I thought it'd be fun to do it here. Why don't we all make lists of our favorite music? But, not just in any slapdash form, in an organized format; Christian music would be arranged by artist, while secular music would be arranged by genre or artist. For example:

+Christian Music+

Tenth Avenue North

• Losing
• Hold My Heart
• Let It Go
• Don't Stop The Madness
• Love Is Here

+Secular Music+

Dubstep

• First of the Year (Equinox) - Skrillex
• Lights - Klaypex
• Boss Wave - Xilent
• Sierra Leone - Mt Eden
• Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites - Skrillex

You might have other categories, such as "Calming Songs", "Songs For When I'm Depressed", etc. I'll post my list later. What do you think?

You like tenth avenue North!?!? How could you!?!?

You like tenth avenue North!?!? How could you!?!?

Easily. They're an awesome group.

So, are you gonna make a list?

Yea, to pass some of the boring time on the way to Ohio.

Great idea, Sam! :)

Great idea! I'll work on it and then post it. :)

I might.

In reply to Sam

I would totally say she is really, really good!! :) Do you play piano?

Your right, the difficulty of a piece does not determine how good a pianist is… but hard pieces sound impressive!

I have a lot of different music that I listen to. I’m sure they aren't all listed here. But these are a few. I may change it a lot after I see what other people’s lists look like. I was just trying to follow what Sam said…

pops in Jsyk, Sarah, Mark Schultz is a Christian artist. ;) You should check out more of his songs; you'd probably like them a lot. =)

Yeah, I kind of knew that… but I was just putting a bunch of songs in "Random Favorites." I'll figure out some way of changing it. I will check out more of his songs sometime. Thanks! :)

That's a great idea! It'll take me a little bit to put a list together though. I like so many songs. :)

I suggest "Time of My Life," "Walking Her Home," "When You Come Home," "He's My Son," and "I Saw the Light."

All of those are really sweet, poignant songs. Some may even make you cry. =o

Um, that would be Maple Leaf Rag by Joplin, not Chopin. =D
