I was wondering if any of you out there have a favorite piano piece? Ever since i heard my music teacher at my Elementary school play this piano at school i feel instantly in love with the sound of the piano. I always wanted to learn how to play one, but my parents cannot afford any instruments or piano lessons. A few years ago i heard this piano piece titled fairytale by Tong Hua and thought to myself maybe one day when i become as good as a virtouso musician that i can compose master pieces such as that. Although it sure does seem a long time before that could ever happen. Some days i listen to piano music on my laptop for hours or go walk near this place where they give piano lessons to people who want to learn how to play piano and have the money. Do any of you know how to play a piano or any instruments?

Hi Rynae,

I played trumpet all through school. And later I played an acoustic guitar. I would like to learn how to play violin, mainly because it really brings out emotion.

I'm with you on wanting to learn the piano most. It's such a versatile instrument and really allows the creativity to flow.

Pachelbels, "Canon". It was played in D the first time I heard it and fell in love with it. It wasn't originally a Piano piece, but listen and see if you don't love it too :)

I really love the schindlier's list version of the violin. Do you have a favorite violin piece? I tend to favor both classic and modern time music.

I play the piano, and I am mostly self-taught, and the piece that inspired me to seriously work at being able to play the piano is the Tarantella by Chopin. Most of Chopin's pieces need an opus number or a key for you to identify them, but he only ever wrote the one Tarantella! Other favourites of mine are the 3 Intermezzos by Brahms (Op. 117) and Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin.

I've been playing piano for 11 years. I actually went to college for a bit to be a performance major but left because the department fell apart... At the moment I'm learning Handel's Keyboard Suite in F minor Hwv.433 though Chopin is definitely my favorite composer, I play a couple of his waltzes as well as some of the mazurka and a nocturne or two and a few of the preludes. My favorite piano pieces would be probably the Beethoven Pathetique Sonata, Moonlight Sonata (3rd Movement) and the Chopin Nocturnes, Ballades, and Berceuse.

One of my favorites is the Grieg Piano Concerto - I have always loved the use of the range of the instrument in dynamics and really a lot of different emotional phases as well as the actual octaves covered.

Just a little note here - I attended Texas Christian University when the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition was held entirely on campus including the finals - as a member of the Professional Music Fraternity I was able to hear a lot of the performers practicing - INCREDIBLE!

It can be simultaneously awe inspiring, motivational and discouraging to hear so many fantastic musicians and realize that most of them will not make the cut.

Love ya,

Sally

I play the piano though I only play pieces from anime shows that I like. I never had any formal lessons cause I don't want to be forced to practice pieces that I don't like. Oh and I can barely read the notes.

I love so many pieces it's really hard to choose. I love Beethoven's odd numbered symphonies. I guess my favorite is the 7th Symphony. Each movement is incredible (I'm going to play it right now). I really like Vivaldi's Four Seasons too.

Piano pieces, oh lets see. Maybe NOBUO UEMATSU - TO ZANARKAND?

If there is more a brilliant or sad song, I have not heard it. And I listen to many a composer. This just ripped my heart strings asunder.

      We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff!    I'd love to frame their rejection letter.   Carolyn Marie

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.
