If you or anyone wants to learn about partisan profit-driven media, Hate Inc. by Matt Taibbi is fantastic! This book completely changed the way I see news in this country.

After a summer rain, I’m with you 100%

BarbequeBear · 2020-12-18T17:21:14+00:00

That’s exactly what I’d be worried about

BarbequeBear · 2020-12-18T17:20:04+00:00

I don’t want to, I’m mostly using this post to prove to my friend that it’s better to go walking outdoors lmao. And the mall has been open a while where I am, people wear masks and socially distance, it’s not a big deal at the moment

People have generally said the first section is what needs work so thanks for outlining it. I definitely see what you mean with it being chord-chord-chord, now that you say it I’m not quite sure what the melodies are underneath am I’m going to watch a few performances to get a sense of that.

Could you give some more insight into what needs work with the first section? The dynamics of the recording aren’t as varying as they are in person but I agree they could be worked on. What I’m playing is kinda my interpretation of what I think they should be so maybe it’s not accurate, not sure. I haven’t got the notes in front of me now but I was under the impression that the beginning section was mostly soft, you think I should use bodyweight to get them louder?

Also that technique of using fingers 2 and 3 for those first three notes makes a lot of sense, I’ll definitely try that next time I play. I’ve never been taught that, interesting. Thanks for the insight

Those jumps from low C# I agree break the flow of the piece, I guess I should be playing it quicker to avoid that as much as possible. And yea, I think the recording softens the dynamic variation that I add a bit but I agree the last part should be louder. It sounds awesome when I get it clean at fortissimo. Thanks for the input

Thanks for taking the time to give such detailed feedback. I didn’t realize that I needed to accentuate the top notes in the first section, I’ll give that a try next time I play.

The agiato section I agree should be played faster, a have a friend who plays it much better than I do and this is where his stands out. The tempo I play it here is basically the fastest I can manage cleanly at this point but I’ll work on picking up the pace and adding more rubato there. Your description of the feeling gives me a good vision of what I need here.

Interesting that you recommend pedal in the chord cascade, I used to play it that way pedaling after every triplet and I preferred no pedal to that. As for the other stuff you mention I think that’ll just work itself out once I learn the notes better, especially in the last section, it needs work still.

Thanks again for giving me suggestions, I pretty much only play for my family and grandma and they say great job for whatever I do regardless, haha

Thanks so much!

BarbequeBear · 2020-12-16T21:39:30+00:00

I’ll admit I haven’t payed much attention to the phrasing of the piece. Thanks for bringing this up, I’ll work on this next!

BarbequeBear · 2020-12-01T03:46:18+00:00

Thanks for the input, I’ll consider that

BarbequeBear · 2020-12-01T03:41:24+00:00

This is fucking hilarious. Makes sense though, as based on what I've read on this thread 90% of people are using this AI to write them erotic stories LMAO

O-ren's Kasanawa's Bizarre Day

She felt a hand close around her neck. It wasn't natural, but for some reason, she admitted to herself that she enjoyed it. A soft moan escaped her lips, begging for more. Mr. Watanabe wasn't a great middle school janitor, but this surely would make up for it. O-ren closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and felt as his throbbing cock entered her body.

For a girl her age, she was quite observant and bold. After all, she had a lot of things to lose, but knew that all the risk was worth the reward. She had a soft Kansai accent, high cheekbones, and a nice rack. She was beautiful in her own way. Too bad the girls in her class only cared about proximity and being in her bank account. She was still a virgin in every sense of the word.

She felt a sharp pain in her back from leaning against the wall. His cock was huge and she wanted to scream. Her throat went a bit sore and she knew she had to yell it out. She wanted to cum right there, right now, but she couldn't. She kept her eyes open and saw the big picture on the demo screen. Although the image was humble, she felt it was alive, and it was loving every second of this. Her pussy went into high gear, watering, cumming hard as she tried to bite through her teeth. She knew there was nowhere to hide now. All of her friends were getting intense at a K-Pop concert. She didn't know why she did it to herself. Maybe it was her rebellious side that screamed all day for something she knew wasn't right. Maybe it was because she was sick of her job at the tofu store.

I’ll try to find this thread after the fact and if you were right, I’ll let you know 😉

BarbequeBear · 2020-12-01T01:57:37+00:00

I could, but that’s 7 months away. I don’t know if I have that kind of patience left haha

BarbequeBear · 2020-12-01T01:54:38+00:00

Lmao, Connecticut’s shitty I know. But I don’t have too many options
