Omg just remembered, I have a maths topic test tomorrow D: Must decide whether to memorise the remaining 27 pages of eco or practice maths :((((( Either way, logging off this website will help me immensely (no offense BoS, you're a blessing for homework help but a curse for procrastination as well)

HAHAH always loved I&J, also love their "Rachmaninoff had big hands" video ^ uhh thanks, I'm okay with chords so that piece was do-able but with individual fingerwork I'm terrible so I struggle with even short passages that require fingers 4 or 5 (ugh must practice scales)

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I hate scales with a passion, but I love playing all but one of my Grade 4 pieces. I'll lay off the difficult stuff, or if I'm feeling a little too confident I'll try to perfect op9 no2 and op3 no2. I've noticed that a lot of those difficult runs are actually...

A lot of cheesy things are true and it's great that you still play after quitting, many just stop playing. Thanks, my problem is that I often try to play pieces beyond my ability like Chopin's nocturne op27 no2, Rach op23 no7, Rach op23 no5, Chopin etc. etc. etc. The only two I've managed so far...

Noice! bahahah to me it doesn't even look straigtforward, let alone attempting to play it. The poor hammers of my upright would hate me if I tried that (I can't even trill heheh). Wow, 8th grade, I'm saying that cos I know you (and your friends) can play thirds scales while I struggle with...

Just finished listening to the Shostakovich, so pumped that I doubt I can get any sleep! (great composition despite being a little short)

Part 2 Guys please listen to these, it's one of the most beautiful, rich, mellow movements I've ever heard (ok I'm biased cos Rachmaninoff is my fav hehe)

Yeah seems like that part, I mistook that he was tremelo-ing with chords in both hands; Straightforward??? Lol what grade are you in?

If there's a Chopin/Brahms/Beethoven etc. concerto in a neighbouring hall, sneak into that one :D I know I'd love to do that Hmm never heard of him either, might youtube him later after the Shostakovitch Cello. The feeling of listening to a new pianist who just wows your expectations is just...

I'd really want to try them out then, must discover more of them. Lol this is ironic, since we're on the subject of playable concerti, in mov 1 part 2 of the Brahms at 9:26 there was a freakishly dense chordal tremelo :O I was like, what.is.this.how.is.this.even.possible

:O You lucky one, who's the pianist by the way? I really wanted to go for the Lang Lang Rach concerto 2 in Syd Opera house last year but I was too late :(! I'm going to the Opera house for Romeo and Juliet for English :angryfire: In part 2 of the Brahms concerto, I really like the part 1:26 :cool:

^^^

Listening to this right now, can't help but bounce around a little, lovely main melody and love the changes :) I also like the B-flat/E-flat minor part at 1:15 :) In terms of difficulty, Rach 3 (Cadenza :O. Horowitz played it wonderfully at 75 years of age) and Prokofiev 2 are hard to beat IMO...

It was a simple, but hilarious post! of course i'd rep it, and thx :)

Pretty sure it was on purpose

I've already given mine names :L

Some girl at tutor told me that her brother was forced to do physics in Y11/12 and he screwed up his HSC cos of physics. You have the luxury of choice so do what you really enjoy and since you don't feel like doing med anymore (where's the physics in that? I'd think it's more chem/bio related...

Well English is the only compulsory subject in the HSC (for many, including me, the hardest as well) so I'd want to start my little bubba on it early. That way while s/he's scribbling down essays during his/her HSC he/she'll be thinking about setting, plot, context and not the correct 'your' or...

If you like freaky (but realistically playable, not stuff like Death Waltz) piano pieces, then it's hard to beat her playing: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_videos&search_query=op39+no6&search_sort=relevance&search_category=0&page=
