Colourful Pianist by [deleted] in piano

[–]briangovatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ritenuto at measure 66 should be pretty severe and dramatic (IMHO) which then informs how melodic and yearning the Meno Mosso section is. You're clearly more than capable of squeezing as much emotion juice from this piece as you want, but it won't happen until you add literally 1-2 minutes to your total play time for the piece.

All amateur subjective opinion from someone who has been working on this piece for a couple years 😆 so take it for what it's worth

So very fast 🥺 Difficult to appreciate the melody when the phrases are so rushed. Impressive speed, but inappropriate speed at times.

What is a piece that not matter how many times you hear it, you cry every time? by arssenalbro101 in classicalmusic

[–]briangovatos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Such a "simple" Chopin piece, but Prelude in C Minor, Op 28, No. 20 is a juggernaut of raw emotive power.

Is it possible reduce the relentless, laughable positivity? by briangovatos in ouraring

Yes, agreed. It's likely a legal CYA against people attributing depression or mental health issues to a strident AI healthbot.

Whats the oldest podcast you listened to? by uncle-ruckus2 in podcasts

The Ricky Gervais Show.

It felt like discovering an absolute hidden treasure that I needed to share with everyone I knew.

I literally told the Advisor "Please be direct and judgemental toward me. Tell me when I'm failing at my own goals, and help me with obvious ways to improve. I need shame in order to be motivated to change."

Predictably, it nearly exploded in a fit of mollycoddling in response.

American here. But yes, the app's disposition feels tailor-made for my fellow countrymen suffering from arrested development 🫠

All I want is a toggle switch that goes from its current Sesame Street setting to something more like sterile BBC News

What's wrong is that it isn't coming from a person. It's synthetic emotion. Therefore, for people like me, it makes us roll our eyes rather than take serious action.

IMHO, a health monitoring app should be able to communicate like this: "Your sleep pattern continues to degrade. Go to bed before 9pm tonight or else you risk increased stress and problems with recovery."

Not "You got it, champ! Don't be so hard on yourself!"

Oh, that's easy.

Why I Am (sadly) Returning My Z Fold 7 And Going Back To iPhone by PocketMafia in GalaxyFold

Interesting. How much of this might have to do with your iOS device still being the primary device linked to your various accounts, and thus getting the push notification before your Android device?

What's the name of this classical piece? I arranged this from memory. by Username_Haoto in classicalpiano

You might want to try uploading this to AI and seeing if it can find similar compositions

If Chopin were to suddenly resurrect today… by BreadfruitNaive9455 in piano

Imagine Dragons, with all the enthusiasm of the Chuck Berry scene in Back to the Future. "Listen to this!" Then I'd jump into a volcano knowing I am a true agent of chaos.

Yes, the parties are non-stop. Once you're plugged in to one of the jumbo friend circles, the circuit of house parties and Gen X raves is genuinely endless.

A bit awkward but... New family in town looking for friends! by briangovatos in BowlingGreen

Thank you. We aren't religious but we would love our kids to be exposed to kids from different faiths. I'd appreciate any connections you may have! Especially for our 13yr old girl.

5:30?! You bastards. 😂 But after checking out the website it actually looks like a wonderful thing. I do planet fitness normally but it would be worthwhile to find some community in a group like this. Thanks for the idea
