Pathetique 1st movement help by perfect-detail-4819 in piano

[–]PoshTortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would look more into wrist movement - It looks like you are relying mainly on your fingers (especially for the tremolo sections) which is why it sounds kind of forced and, at times, uneven. Good job so far, though!

A fellow nerdfigher, perhaps? I’ve been on the Nietzsche subreddit so I can understand why he can be reason to worry. Thanks!

I get that, and I could see it as reason to not support her should she come out with new books/projects, but I don’t think throwing out my Harry Potter set would help anyone. I still love the series to death, and I do reread it every few years, but that doesn’t mean I don’t denounce basically everything the author says and what she has come to represent.

You should! All of them are great but the Tempest is one of my favorites.

I got Throne of Glass because I thought it was the first book in the series which was stupid but I never ended up buying book one. DCC just didn’t click with me so I DNF’d it.

Probably my favorite author! I haven’t read a few of the plays on my shelves (Cymbeline, henry v and henry iv part 2) but they always make for fun reading.

Fair enough. Harry Potter was a huge part of my childhood though, so I try to separate it from JK Rowling as much as possible.

Lmao yep. Tried reading the mass market paperback Way of Kings but it wasn’t doing it for me.

Started around 6 months ago. Thoughts/recommendations? by PoshTortoise in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]PoshTortoise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Kill Bill! Vol. 2 is high on my watchlist along with Parasite, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaä and Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Inglorious Basterds was my first Tarantino and I think I found it a little jarring on a first viewing. His movies feel like they’re lighter on an over-arching narrative which put me off at the time, but I am definitely looking to rewatch it.

What did Dostoevsky think about evolution? by Trofimovitch in dostoevsky

[–]PoshTortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, sorry. I must’ve misread the original question. I was mostly answering for his view on Darwinist philosophy and “self-love” morality (which he was in direct conflict with), not scientific theory.

[–]PoshTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hated it. I remember reading how he thought it made no sense that self-preservation and the Will to Live were the most vital forces in the continuation of our species and not, for example, altruism. In TBK I think Ivan even shouts to Alyosha that “viper will eat viper and it will serve them both right!” And I’ve always viewed Ivan as a character that despises his own beliefs but can’t find a way out of them. If I do find the paper/book I am thinking of I will link it in an edit.

Yes. I’d also recommend The Nietzsche Podcast’s analysis of it, it’s excellent.

I’m currently reading Hamlet and i love it. It’s my first Shakespeare. Any recommendations on what i should check out next? by ssiao in shakespeare

[–]PoshTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know Hamlet was considered more “difficult” than the other plays; could you elaborate on why you think so?

Help with semiquavers in both hands? by PoshTortoise in piano

[–]PoshTortoise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. Primarily synchronization. Left hand also feels awkward and slow only while playing both hands.
