19: Educate yourselves

[samuraiprosecutor]

If the videos that inundated my 'friends page' are any indication, your collective musical education is lacking. I don't know how many of you will be able to appreciate this, but it is worth a try.

Fan of the piano?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Among other instruments, yes.

[attorneyatlol]

I am, too. Do you play?

Liebesträume No. 3~!

I see some of the greats are multi-universal.

Not only am I capable of clicking on the link, but I also happen to play the piano!

[cleaver-bitch.livejournal.com]

It's very pretty.

[samuraiprosecutor]

It is. Rubinstein was an exceptional pianist.

[cleaver-bitch.livejournal.com]

Rubenstein? I've never heard of...him.

Our education isn't lacking; we just happen to find that really boring.

And a little bird keeps saying that if you were going to pick any performance, it should've been Chopin. I think he's biased though. What do you say?

[samuraiprosecutor]

And what do you find interesting, then?

I am, myself, biased towards Liszt. Though the little bird is perfectly welcome to post Chopin on his own journal. The people here could only benefit from it, judging by the videos that were posted thus far.

I'd tell him that, but he's likely to rip my stitches out. I like them staying in, y'know?

Your taste is satisfactory.

However, I think such music is superior;

I will admit that music is of a...soothing nature. I've never found it particularly appealing though, especially when compared to Liszt.

[whippington.livejournal.com]

Regardless, it is all far more acceptable than the atrocious noise of the videos that have been played so far.

[notwhatyouget.livejournal.com]

Haha, wow, it's been a while since I've heard anything like that. ♥

[samuraiprosecutor]

What do you normally hear?

[god-thats-good.livejournal.com]

Now that, sir, is what I call music.

A real beauty, that. Lovely taste you've got there.

[samuraiprosecutor]

You as well, obviously, if you can appreciate Liszt.

[re-formed.livejournal.com]

That's very refreshing.

[samuraiprosecutor]

It's a favorite of mine. It soothes and clears the mind, and helps one to focus.

[revered-love.livejournal.com]

[samuraiprosecutor]

That was...exquisite. The scene is from a film?

[dandyfool.livejournal.com]

The piano is truly a mesmerizing instrument. I do not know of this man or piece, but I can appreciate a good sound when I hear it.

[samuraiprosecutor]

It is good to know the tastes of the community at large aren't wholly lacking.
