...My piano MASTERPIECE!!! 🤣

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

Yes, my MASTERPIECE! Sounds like Shostakovich, on a bad day...☹️

...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...🤣

...Tchaikovsky might have! 😆

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. 😉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!🤣It'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! 🤣

@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?

Henry

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?

It’s obvious the guy is trolling us. He thrives on attention. His music - intentionally or not - is trash. He repeatedly comments on his own posts to maintain maximum visibility. If that’s his game, don’t feed his energy. Ban if you must, but - dare i say - he will just make a new account.

Once a spammer is identified, banning them is as easy as pressing a button.

Jesus, listen to ALL of my music, not a little Shostakovich-when-drunk-on-vodka piece! I am thoroughly trained, but not as good as Beethoven! Can you not take a little joke? I am NO TROLL; just a talented but not "Genius" neoclassical composer! 🤣

1996, age 27, in some bar or coffeeshop on East Boulevard, in Charlotte, NC. I think it is pretty cool given all that!

I'm reading through all this and I must point out that this is kind of wrong. Not that he didn't have deep friendships with women, guess that's probably true (though it was definitely not a friend of his brother's wife*). What I wanted to state here is that many did find Beethoven attractive in his youth for certain manners he had and he did date various girls, including some "precious one" or "beloved one" whose identity is not really clear.

Now, regarding your issue here, which I'm not sure if you see or not Mr @Churchcantor : the problem here ain't your sense of humour. I would say it's not really that you overextend on your personal life. The problem is that you do that in posts from people who are asking for feedback, criticism, or any other commentary relevant to the piece, WIP work, set of pieces, etc. that they are working on! Look man:

In this post by one fellow old user of this very forum, which showcases ten preludes for piano that his user made, you replied:

Hey, these seem very nice! I will check them out. Already "liked" them, I can just tell from glancing at a few of them...Yes, I'm worried about my best friend Jackie, wheezing/breathing problems, but she is probably ok; needs her Albuterol/Ventolin inhaler. I'll probably get some beer to help calm my nerves and listen; after all, my own music sounds better to me after a couple beers!😆(I sure don't want to hear my sonata again unless I know she's OK, it's about her! I had to listen so many times to edit, anyway, seeing that I can't even play piano.)

You know this part I marked in bold and cursive. That's outside of the feedback. Your feedback is: "Hey, these seem very nice! I will check them out. Already "liked" them, I can just tell from glancing at a few of them..." And then you, all of a sudden, proceed to talk about you, your piece, your friend, etc etc etc. That's uncalled for, as simply as that. But you kept going dude, what?

Jackie is just fine, but I feel like something fun, like good Classic Rock right now, to calm my nerves!

Good man, this ain't a personal chat with you and a common friend of yours. Guy doesn't know Jackie, most likely. Guy doesn't know you either, and now for some reason whenever he turns on the PC and sees some notifications, instead of actual feedback you know what he will find? You, talking about yourself, about your friend that needs xyz, about oh wait is this some actual feedback?

Anyway, carry on! I will listen to these even from a cursory glance very good piano pieces in their entirety when I can truly pay proper attention to them, and you have my word on that.

Ah welp, no it's not. You didn't listen to the preludes, but you already posted 3 messages there and 2 and a half of them are about you, and the other remaining half is split between saying that you didn't listen to the set of pieces & that you "liked" them. And finally, yet another message:

I do not understand why you are confused, Henry Ng, a composer surely as good as I am! I am just concerned about my friend, but she is quite fine now. She will come tomorrow and help me clean the house! Why is this so big a deal, to have a good friendship with a member of the opposite sex, when we have both agreed that it shouldn't be sexual? There is more to life than THAT, though it is very useful, Wirklich auf Deutsch, for reproduction. We are very loving friends, but only that. She is sort of my Muse, lately though. I could almost swear that she wrote 40% of my only, and fairly decent piano sonata in 38 years of writing music, even though she can't read music herself. Sure, I, like anyone, have sexual desires myself sometimes, but not for her: our love is pure friendship, and purer than all that, even if we drink some beer together sometimes, and laugh at silly things!

Did the Henry guy ask you about you or your friend man? Or the original poster of the preludes? Do you realise you're still replying to a post that consists on an user posting 10 preludes and awaiting for feedback? Didn't you think about sending Henry a private message in regards of his confusion? Don't you see why he's "confused" at best?

Cool dude. What if you, instead of going to someone else's post to talk about that, don't proceed to give us all that speech in your own post, with your own music? If I wanna talk about myself, look at what we got:

If you feel that what you want to share of your life is too long for this "About Me" section, my best advice would be: host a web, make a blog, and let your friends know. This is not about trolling or not trolling, being funnier or less; It's not even about you yourself Churchcantor. It is about not spamming your life on someone else's posts when it's absolutely, completely, categorically and unequivocally uncalled for.
You got me, right?

Well, he survived Smallpox, for God's sake! His beauty was in his music, not in his Face! He had deeply penetrating eyes, so they say, but he was described by women as being short, swarthy, and ugly! His MUSIC, however, was beautiful, and will last for all eternity, as long as we do not fick up this world so much that no one can survive...Just write your music like anyone else, who has a taste for that sort of thing. It will outlive you for sure, when you are in the afterlife, if you deserve such a thing. Don't hurt innocent children, and be a basically good person, and you will have a very good chance! Bon Chance!

Yeah, whatever. I just post my pretty-good music, and express my opinions, such as they are. I am human, like anybody else.
