[genidevil13]

i play about everything, i guess (classical, baroc, romantic, a little bit of modern) i really like romantic music heart i'm really good at expressing the feelings you're supposed to express in romantic music. i used to hate Bach, but now i'm starting to like him more and more 'cause of the piece i'm playing right now. heart biggrin

Wow, me too! I always thought of Bach as technical with no emotions, so it was hard for me to play. I also never looked too much into the structure cause I thought my brain would hurt. I played mostly by ear. But ever since my music history class, I appreciate Bach more than ever before. heart His music is actually easier to perform than some Romantic music. Although, I guess they're both demanding, but in different ways. 3nodding

I love bach music. I find that style of music much easier to play than most of the other pieces.

BUT OH GOD I HATE PLAYING MODERN x___X;;;

I used to, until I started working on Lowell Liebermann's "Gargoyles." It's wildly exciting and frighteningly difficult. I wouldn't recommend it to a pianist of eight years, but I'd totally keep it in mind for later.

i took piano for 12 years and then stopped because out of all of those years had only learned one good song that i actually enjoyed playing i still that song and i've perfected it as much as i can without having a piano myself but sadly enough i gave it up xp

It's too bad that some people lose interest in piano. I had to play for five years before I actually started enjoying what I was doing. I was going to quit, but then I got sheet music for Billy Joel and Elton John and I've been playing happily for 4 years since then. I am starting to apreciate classical music now as well... xd

[Headmaster SS]

only because pretty much everyone here has said it already...JAZZ ROCKS!!!

[omrianh]

Yeah, same here. It took me 9 years before I actually started liking classical piano. It was all because of Debussey's Clair De Lune (sp). Loved it and couldnt give up till I knew how to play it. Loved romantic/impressionist music ever since ^^. I'm in my hs's jazz band too, so the jazz bug is startin to get to me too...

So what composers you guys like? mine are Debussey and Chopin (sooooo soothing and.....sooothing)

[Cat.on.the.Hill]

I've been playing piano snice i was in kindergarten(now 17) though it has been on and off. I've gone through a few teachers, one died, one went to college, and the other one well it really didn't like her. So in between times I've dropped it, sworn never to touch a piano again but still there something that calls to me when i see a piano. I may not be as good as i would like to, but i play and teach myself off of what i know already. Anywho, I LOVE classical music and that's basically what I play, guess you can say i was trained in that becasue that's what istarted off with. I enjoy modern music as well. As for favorite composers I have to say Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and a few from other composers.

[The rad ranter]

Chopin, Brahms, Mendelsson, Burgmueller and Kalinakoff. ((I have no idea if I spelled any of these right besides Chopin. Heh. Heh.))

[Quattroporte]

I like playing Beethoven sonatas. I know some of the Pathetique sonata and the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata. At first, you'd think like, wow, I must be progressing so much since I'm learning these songs.

Half a year later...

I've only played these two songs....

My friend who always has crazy idea is thinking of forming a band with me as a synthy. I played synthesizer in drumline last year. It was fun, but now, i have the stupidest band teacher so no drumline crying

I was also gonna play piano in a jazz band, but unfortunately, I'm the only baritone sax player in the whole school so i was stuck with that...
