Hello every one. I am a new member here and am trying to get to know everyone. I am a freshman in my second semester of college. A fellow comrade of mine is pianolicious who directed me to this forum. I have been playing piano for about a total of 12 years. My favorite composers are (but not limited to) Godowsky, Mahler, Ligeti, and Liszt. Right now I am working on New music which includes Rzewski's North American Ballads. I am also studying a Beethoven Sonata( Pathetique) and Albeniz-Godowsky Tango. I have a link of me Playing Chopin's etude Op.25 No.12.

Tonite I have been at a friends house studying counterpoint for theory and there's a blizzard outside. So I thought I would introduce myself.





Best,

Rach on!

Glad to have you here Rach On!

Nice lamps!

Nice to meet you, Rach on!

Boy those lamps sure are popular at that school. I thought Pianolicious was the only one who had them! Welcome Rach!

Welcome, Rach on. Thats a cool screen name, by the way.


So Pianolicious is a real person after all?

Welcome Rach!

Welcome, Rach!

That's a killer etude to be playing at 18-19! I played it when I was 25 and I just about died! (then again, maybe it is also because I had just played Op. 25 No. 11 just before it ) How long have you been playing it? How do you like your teacher? Who is it?

thanks for posting this!

Welcome, Rach On!

I like your name as well as I like Elena's sig line.

Thanks! I cracked up when I read it. Can't you just picture it?

One of S.O. Xmas gifts was a book of musical quotations which is hilarious. So I have enough sig. lines now for the duration of this forum!

Welcome Rach!

Welcome to the forum, Rach On! (Though I must admit I'm a teensy bit nervous about what you may have heard about WTF from pianolicious ).

Do you think I can get those lamps on e-Bay?

Welcome aboard da board.

Welcome!
