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.

[maraich]

Liebesträume No. 3~!

[attorneyatlol]

I am, too. Do you play?

[samuraiprosecutor]

I see some of the greats are multi-universal.

[maraich]

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

[samuraiprosecutor]

There was never time to take it up. If I were to learn I think I would have preferred the violin, at any rate.

...What style do you prefer?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Indeed? Favorite composers?

[maraich]

Right now Johannes Brahms is a family favorite. I'm sure you can imagine why.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Of course. You play for Matthias?

[attorneyatlol]

Well, it's never too late to learn, right?

Uh. Style?

[cleaver-bitch.livejournal.com]

It's very pretty.

[maraich]

Of course. I promised Demyx I would practice. He went through all the trouble of getting a piano in my living room, after all.

[samuraiprosecutor]

It is. Rubinstein was an exceptional pianist.

[cleaver-bitch.livejournal.com]

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

[samuraiprosecutor]

...By himself?

Hm. Steel Samurai DVDs and classical piano... Matthias shall grow to have excellent taste.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Perhaps, if time weren't still an issue.

Somehow you do not strike me as the type to prefer classical. Though I suppose I could be mistaken. It wouldn't be the first time.

[maraich]

He used his dark portals.

Would you expect any less?

[samuraiprosecutor]

...I imagine it was still a feat.

Of course not, considering.

[attorneyatlol]

True. Maybe if you took on a lighter workload..?

No... It's not my favorite style, but it's not like I have anything against it. If you want to know the truth, I like anything with a piano. It's my favorite instrument.

[samuraiprosecutor]

A Polish-American pianist of the 20th century. His brilliance was widely recognized by his peers. This piece he's playing is also a particular favorite of mine.

[maraich]

The piano got tossed around a bit.

I'm still looking for a DVD player.

[cleaver-bitch.livejournal.com]

Wow...you're very smart, sir!

[samuraiprosecutor]

My workload is at that level by choice. It serves a purpose, and I believe my time is better spent there, for the time being.

Indeed. Surely you have preferences beyond the instrument?

[attorneyatlol]

Fair enough. It doesn't hurt to take some time for yourself every once in a while, though.

I guess. Something like this, maybe...
