Yeah, piano rules!!!
I love all instruments, but as piano is my first instrument and I enjoy it so much, I would love to join the club!

After ten years piano lessons I've totally fallen in love with the piano! shame that my arms hurt sometimes when I play...

Come on, let me join!!!

Sorry, violin comes first for me! I've wanted to play it as far as i remember. I was sort of forced into piano. My parents just told me I was starting piano, without asking me. But now I love it (not as much as violin though!!)



Regards, Hellokity xx

PS: May I join PINTQOI too?

Hmm...virtues for strings and piano...cello is definitely my first instrument so I guess I have to ask if I can be a member of PINTQOI too...

Hi...

Can I be in the club aswell?

Yea, you're in.

Rebels....

I don't understabnd this silly club, the violin is the unarguable king of all the musical thingies, even the ones that can't be counted as instruments, (Such as the human voice).

I used to play piano but I quit because it was getting boring, besides the violin makes a challenge, you have to actually do something to play the simplest of notes, (Rather than just pressing a key).

Rule, violin, violin rules the waves violins always always always are the king

pffth..... mushroom how can you be so rude! my piano is offended!

It least piano makes a nice sound from the beginning- i need to put earplugs in when my sisters practising.
*scrape saw scrape* it does sound terrible.

And playing the piano is a lot more than pressing a key- you need to press the right ones for a start and coordinate your hands. "just pressing a key" indeed!

go back to where you came from to your viva strings forum or where ever you go when you're not dissing amazing clubs like this one! PITQOTI rules!

You need to press the right keys/put your fingers in the right place, and coordinate both hands and for strings and woodwind too - as well as coordinating breathing etc for woodwind and doing two completely opposing things for strings.

No contest

You lot don't understand!
I mean that on a piano you have to just press a key to play a single note, not a whole piece. Whereas on a violin you have to put your finger in the right place, (and judge the right place yourself) to play a single note (Unless it's open strings.)
I realise that you can't play a piece on any instrument by vpressing a key, but you can't even play a simple note on a violin without working something out. this can be very hard when playing 'Napolean crossing the alps' which makes you come off one note, move to a different string, and put three fingers in the right place in the time it takes to play a quaver!


Besides sarah-flute, I never said anything about woodwind, and I know that can be hard, as I have a freind who plays brass which is similar in the fact you have to breathe in a special way in order to play, but I STILL THINK THE VIOLIN IS THE BEST! (Come on Janexxx, back me up here, I'm supporting the violin. )


P.S Can I be a member of the Piano is not the queen of all instruments club?

Well , if you believe so much that violin rules, why don't you establish another club??!

me, only because trumpet is king!

I was backing you up, mushroom! (I play strings as well as woodwind!)

Can I join please?

Yes, please.
I'll add youto the list.


Oh my Goodness mushrooms,
if you say the viola is the king i won't be so angry, not the violin....
to be honest and this isn't mean to offense anyone, but violin is my least favourite instrument !! I played the violin and was completely sick of it... if you say viola, cello, flute it's better than saying the violin....my goodness, how CAN people like the violin?? It's too common, it's like a clich in classical music/orchestra...have a good think mushroom, i hope you'll change your point of view.

How dare You Pianist 1210? The violin is well better.

Have you ever wondered why there are loads of violins and only 1 piano in an orchestra? Because the Violin is so much better. The violin is also much older than the piano, so the piano should respect it (Respect your elders!)

I really don't think I could possibly change my view, the Violin is better than the Piano for now and forever.

Plus, Violins get BETTER as they get older, so once you stop growing you should never have to buy a new Violin, they can be passed down for centuries, my first teacher had a Violin that was 100 years old, and still young!

Have you only ever seen black pianos?

I'm in PINTQOI

At the risk of being argumentative again - cool it, people, even if it's in jest - why does the Principal Horn get paid more than anyone except the orchestra's leader? Is it because the Horn is better than all the other instruments? (While it'd be nice if this were true, it isn't).

The way I see it, there are more violinists to cover up the mistakes and dodginess from the rest of you lot

*sidles out before she's lynched by the violinists*

The fact that there are many violins is what enabled me to be in good orchestras in my last few years at school. I'd've been stuffed if I'd had to be good...

Quality not quanity, mushrooms! Only one piano in an orchestra means that it is unique, and hundreds of violins are not.




That just prove the violin is OLD.....
Means nothing more to me

This is because PIANO IS UNIQUE

Because they are not loud enough, cannot project as well and cannot play many notes at once!

Okay, enough....
In order to show that us pianist are polite, we'll no longer argue with them...

To sum up, I believe piano is my best-loved instrument, but i guess violins are their merit too...
(Just been playing 'Mediation" on the violin....

MEDIATION???

What on earth is that?

Sounds like the violins and pianos have gone to ACAS to sort out some sort of industrial dispute????

Arhh....better go and check the proper name of it....it's in D major and goes something like: F#,D,A,D,B....it's very famous, so you sure you don't know about it??

http://mhstrumpets.tripod.com/handbook.html

Andy - you just can't spell - Meditation from Thais by Massenet, is the piece I believe you're referring to. Mediation means quite a different thing altogether. (I expect PJ probably knows really...)

So glad we got that cleared up!

Next thing we know we'll have pathetic sonatas from Beethoven.....

Who knows where that could end??!

Current favourites...

Rachmaninov's Vespas

Handel's Harpsichord Sweets

Loot music by Dowland

And Corelli's Gross Concerto (truly gross!)

That one I like a lot.

I... just can't think of any good ones. I'm sure the Moonlight Sonata should be mangle-able...

Ken Bruce announcing the orchestra I was playing in as performing "Beethoven's 1812 overture" on live radio takes some beating though. Go Ken...

Romeo and Julie ate over at yours

Fine, whatever, I can't spell. YOU try to write that in Chinese and you'll know.

There is of course my favourite ClassicFMism of all time. After a broadcast of "Dawn" from the Four Sea Interludes from Britten's Peter Grimes, the presenter commented, "Thank goodness she wasn't called Tracy".

that's bad!


I don't speak Chinese - all I was doing was explaining and rectifying the mistake.

I'm in !

Yes you indeed are!!

How many members are in the club now?

May I join? Piano rules!!!!




please!!!!!!


*Keira* xxx

HEY~~~don forget bout me~!~

Yes you may.


Of course!!


19~
(please read my profile for all the names for the members)

Well, the truth doesn't often go unnoticed, so, Im afraid..... ....I'll have to join you as well, as it goes....

How dare you Pianist 1210, they only put one piano in because if they put loads in, it would sound awful, because it is soo rubbish, they can put loads of Violins in because they sound great and hence they want the sound of Violins to cover up the Piano!

This may be a stupid thing to say, and I am sure you have a legitimate reason, which you would most likely enjoy sharing with us and we would unquestionably love to hear, but if you hate the Piano as much as you obviously do, why bother coming in the Viva Piano section in the first place? Surely your best bet would be to stay clear, and move to the viva Strings instead.

Just a thought...

oooooOOooooo! everyone's soooo protective over their instruments!! I, of course, am a lover of allllll instruments in the land. Despite this, count me in!!

Yes, I totally agree with you Maple Syrup..
That is exactly what I wanted to say...

And that talking about " Piano is Rubbish"and "Violins cover up the piano" isn't exactly the best thing to say on a Piano Forum.. So either respect us or please don't post here...

Granted...


Yah, you're in!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
now having you means that there will be 21 members in total.

I know this is late, but I have to explain.

I come on here becuause i heard about the club via someone else who goes on dese forums who i know, (Won't say who), and I just had to state my point of view.

And by the way, i can't move out of here, because I live in the Games Zone thankyou very much, do you have a problem with that?

well, game zone & viva piano...what's the relation to that??

we're welcome you to stay as long as you watch out on the use of language, get it??

Can I join, if I'm not too late? Though I'm normally of the same mind as Groucho Marx, who famously remarked "I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members."

Edward

You can definitely join, it's not too late.
Why?? We will all love to accept you.
