Chopin
I try to limit my writing to about 1 post a day so as not to overwhelm reader(s) since I've been constantly reminded to write less. There's also the fact that I don't have stuff to write about sometimes so I should in fact save some stuff for rainy days. Not happening.
Nothing screams ownage on the piano like Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu. I may not know much about the piano since I don't know how to perform on it, anyone can play a piano, making music with it is another thing. So even with my limited knowledge of said instrument, I KNOW fora fact that this is THE PIECE that OWNZ. Anyone who can perform it and play it well MUST be good at piano. I'm also confident that pretty much EVERYONE's heard it before thanks to, surprise?, Nokia. It was one of the first default polyphonic ringtones and come packaged with many Nokia phones. Because of that, I get to hear ah-bengs curse at their phones when they hear this superb classical piece. Interesting irony.
Written by Chopin, one of the few classical composers I know of so he must be good, whom I rank amongst Beethoven, Bach & Mozart, pretty much ALL the classical composers I know. Then there's Schubert whom I know only by name thanks to one of those TV Innovations commercials I saw on, duh, TV back in primary school. Everyone knows that Chopin owns the piano, some call him *TEH MASTER. I acknowledge Chopin as the master based on Fantasie Impromptu alone.
Then there's the mistake, even I, made when I first saw the word Chopin. Many people, in fact most, without any knowledge of Chopin will say Chopin(Show-pun) as Chopin(Chop-pin). I why I mention this is, well, for the sake of bringing this up.
I'm fortunate to know, not 1 but, a few very talented friends who are able to play the piece, of which 2 can play it from memory! There's Fontane, my favourite moled friend; Qinyong, a guy from my primary school that I remember as one who does weird algebra no one understands but yields results; Zhihan, 1st trombone player from SAFBAND B; Yixian, my most holy of friends.
*I wrote THE as TEH for effect. People often type teh instead of the, a common transpositional error when one types too fast indicating excitment.
