I see we've been dealing with a recent influx of imbeciles. Not to say that...all of the 'newcomers' are imbeciles but a fair number of you leave quite a bit to be desired. To those of you seemingly sane, please do enjoy your time with us. To the rest...please leave as soon as possible.

I would, yes.

Would you prefer if I asked about a specific piece?

[chopin-rage.livejournal.com]

However you'd like to go about this, miss.

It's the Twelve Variations. I'm all right up until around the fifth.

I see...if this person sitting here typing for me had been able to make it through the five minutes I'm sure I would've been able to provide you with much better advice than just playing it slowly and gradually speeding as you've got the correct notes mastered.

It's a tedious song sometimes, yes.

In any case, I noticed that quite a few of your composers hail from other countries. Notably Chopin.

They all got famous in Vienna. There is no need to discuss this.

Oh, it wasn't meant to be a criticism at all. I was just thinking that I wish I'd lived in Vienna at a time when it was so open and expansive. You're a generous sort, aren't you, Austria?

[chopin-rage.livejournal.com]

I suppose you could say that.

...only to the gifted?
