Kudos to Jace

Kudos to Jacetheacetheacejace for playing piano pretty well. While he's not a pianist, the potential is DEFINITELY there, and given piano instruction, I'm sure he would play well. (He's self-taught)

I saw him after a Mozart concert, and I asked him to play some Chopin pieces. It was good.

(Had to brag for ya) =)

LOL! Oh man you did not just post this message hahahaha j/k. Hey, I was more impressed with you - with your Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor and that other Chopin piece you played (crap I can't remember which one that is... but I have the music for it. I'll check it out).

Thanks for the compliments, it's greatly appreciated.

And someday...I'll get piano lessons...

Oh...okay I remember what song you played. Chopin's Ballade Op. 23. I wanna learn to play that one after I work on Fantasie Impromptu over Winter Break (if I ever succeed at playing at least most of it).

Here's the sheet music, where I get all my music for free:

I can play this one! http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/com...b/jop_mapl.pdf
You should give it a try...it is a great song. So good, that I made a point to memorize the entire thing.

Hey you know that one too? I played a little bit of it for Angel tonight. I played that song so many times that my sister HATES it. But hey, I was just practicing it! That song does get on people's nerves after hearing it twice. ...the only rag song I know from Scott Joplin. The Entertainer I will refuse to play cuz that was the jingle that the stupid Ice Cream man blasted throughout my neighborhood when I grew up.

AngelFuree · November 23rd, 2005, 04:27

Hehe, thanks Jace!
...just a correction though...
The segments of the pieces you heard were Rachmaninov's Prelude in C#min, and Chopin's Posthumous Nocturne in C#min.

HAHAHA, and I agree w/ your comment on The Entertainer!!

You're right, I was thinking about that right after I shut my computer down and went to bed. It WAS the Opus Posthumous...

Everyone in my family has that same feeling about the Maple Leaf Rag when I play it too!

LOL

Real men play the Violin. ; )

I play my IPOD

j/k I don't own one, don't need one.

UAL747400 · November 28th, 2005, 18:37

Wow, you're self taught and play that? Im impressed.

I've been self teaching myself to play the drums for about 4 years now. That was frustrating as hell starting out. I cant imagine how bad the piano must have been. Kudos to you indeed.

Dj To Rule · December 1st, 2005, 05:31

Hey, I got a drumset as a high school graduation gift, I played percussion in band and loved the drumset, but after a bunch of beating without a band it got annoying, and I turned to turtablism. I never really got a chance to really practice with the drumset much. Here almost 5 years of no playing, Im really rusty.

I wish I would have done percussion in school. I played the alto and then later the baritone saxophone. While that is fun, I get more enjoyment out of laying down a really complex beat out of the drum set than I do playing difficult jazz music on the saxophone.
