...My piano MASTERPIECE!!! ๐Ÿคฃ

It is by Outis, Ancient Greek for Nobody, so obviously, free to play around with; public domain. It is such a masterpiece, though...๐Ÿคฃ

Yes, my MASTERPIECE! Sounds like Shostakovich, on a bad day...โ˜น๏ธ

...like too much Vodka and strong Russian cigarettes! Lived to 69 or so anyway...I LOVE Shosty! Moi griazniy malenkey malchik... (My dirty little boy.)

Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet No. 8

Three days for this quartet, after viewing the firebombed ruins of Dresden. The German Leute did not commit the crimes of the Nazis!

I really can't listen, it makes me too sad; the humanity...

...but a great quartet in very little time. I mean, the dude beat Mozart Speed and still wrote a great, but sad quartet!

Shosty was the most handsome of modern Russian composers, not that I love him in that way...๐Ÿคฃ

...Tchaikovsky might have! ๐Ÿ˜†

I'll get to the other prelude eventually. It is a cool polychord!

(Thank you, Peter.)

My friend Jackie, piano sonata dedicee, had some wheezing and shortness of breath, she mentioned needing a new Albuterol inhaler, and I think she was worried enough about it to call EMS, but she does not live with me now, just down the street. I am more worried about her right now than music, though I am looking at some music just to take my mind off the situation until I know she is ok. No intimate relationship between us; I am eighteen years older, and very ugly in my old age!

Yes, the house mice I can never get rid of like to chew up my manuscripts for bedding; at least they have good "taste" in music! That's from my Bb Major Requiem; it is already in the computer. ๐Ÿ˜‰That is from probably the weakest movement in that piece, anyway. My two pet rats are too polite to munch on my scores. One of them likes to hunt, slaughter, and devour any mouse he can catch though, Baby, my friend Jackie's rat, really.

Actually decided that I have a soft spot for this little joke piece; very funny!๐ŸคฃIt's like (well, I meant it) the rocket went up then crashed hard, and the low piano bass is saying "Sorry, no dice" or something! So-called AI says:

The phrase "sorry, no dice" is an informal American idiom used to express a flat refusal, a negative outcome, or an unsuccessful attempt. It indicates that a request has been denied or that a desired outcome is simply not possible.

Kind of like North Korean missile launches! ๐Ÿคฃ

@Churchcantor

I have received messages from members with the concern that you're not registering any boundaries. The Young Composer's Forum is a public forum but you're using it as a place to over-share details of your own personal life in a way that's not only off-topic but concerning to others. Another concern is that you're using it as a place not for interacting with others but only to talk about yourself and alienate others in the process without any insight or knowledge that you're doing so. Members feel sorry for you and are concerned about your mental state. Also, the following post has almost no bearing on the @SergeOfArniVillage 's original post and music and is very off-topic and inappropriate:

How would you handle this if you were a staff member?

You are welcome to be confused if you like, Henry, and this little joke piece really does not deserve its own thread! I wrote it as a relief from working on my piano sonata. You or Peter are welcome to delete the thread if you like; it is posted in the piano sonata thread anyway.

Really, not everyone gets my sense of humor! It can be somewhat Monty Pythonesque, but I mean no harm! Even my Moll/Dur, minor/major piano sonata is not profound, yet it is heartfelt!

You know this and still do it so you know the consequence you may bear?

The consequence of having a deep Platonic friendship with a woman much younger than me, who has become a part of my music? Such things exist, you know. Neither of us want to ruin our deep friendship over something so silly and momentarily pleasant as recreational sex, but the consequences of THAT would be very bad for our relationship as true friends. Honestly, I do not know what the problem is.

What are you talking about? Henry was referring to the consequences of continuing to post the details of your personal life in the forum. Nobody cares about the nature of your relationships! That's the problem - you keep talking about things that have no bearing on music and is totally irrelevant and meaningless to other members posts!

Well, if you don't care, that is fine, but it is a deep, non-sexual friendship, and she has been having a profound influence on my music lately. Personal relationships, romantic or not, can have a profound effect on one's art; look at Beethoven! He had deep friendships with women, even if they did not find him attractive in that way.

This is what you don't understand. This kind of sharing in this forum is inappropriate. We are currently voting whether to ban you from the forum. You do not understand basic personal boundaries. You are over-exposing yourself and the personal details of your life - things that nobody on the website should have to read through and care about if they are coming here to listen to music and get feedback on their music. The nature of your relationships irl are TOTALLY IRRELEVANT.

I think you are taking this far too seriously. Just delete the posts you do not like! You are driving me towards buying some beer, getting a bit tipsy, and just listening to something technically proficient yet fun, like Gilbert and Sullivan! Would like to hang out with Jackie, but it is about to storm, and she is very busy with online managerial school, 4.0 average, and I don't want to bother her! Really...

It is YOUR responsibility to keep your posts appropriate not ours. We are not paid moderators, and we do not have to babysit and police everything you do. ALL the other users on this forum understand this and are able to police themselves and use their own good judgment - but you do not, hence why we are considering banning you.

It's like when you steal and get caught and then you tell the police, "just return it to the owner and it's fine!". Do you think it's proper when you don't bear consequence for posting all these irrelevant content as a harassment to the forum?
