This made me cry. And still, at the same time, I'm addicted to my phone.

which is some of the stuff that made you start?

[puporing]

@PurpleTree Mostly Chopin, Chopin alone inspired me to keep going with the piano, and Rachmaninoff, Debussy, romantic era music. And I'm also into heavy rock so I'm picking up other instruments to boot

@puporing I'm looking to dive into classical music ,to listen .. Do you have any suggestions to get started with?

[puporing]

@flyingguitarist That's cool, my taste is usually on the darker/intense side so I'd recommend based on that lol. OK there's just a lot:

Chopin Nocturnes are a good starting point (Op.9 No 1-3, Op 48, No 1, Op 27 No 1-2, Op 15, No 1-3) Most of the Nocturnes are actually fairly light with some exceptions. Rachmaninoff's 10 Preludes in Op 23; Prelude Op 3, No. 2, Etudes-tableaux Op 33 No 1 & 2. Chopin 24 Preludes, Sherzi Op 31 No 2, Andante spiano & Grande Polonaise brillante. Chopin's Etudes, and all 4 Ballades to top it off. I like some of his waltzes like Op 64 No 2, Waltz in A minor too. Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 and No. 3. Debussy's stuff's good, more meditative I find. Erik Satie is a minimalist and his ‎Gymnopédies & Gnossiennes are whimsical. Liszt stuff like Liebestraum, Hungarian Rhapsody, Transcendental Etudes. Lesser known composers like Rebikov, Albeniz, Respighi are nice. 

There's so much variety in classical. I know some people who only really want to play Bach for example and I'm like, just okay about it. Some of it was nice I guess, there's a lot to explore with Bach and I haven't gotten to it..

So what kind of piano would one need to play something like "Comptine d'un autre été by Yann Tiersen."? how many keys minimum? I really have nooo clue

don't know if i'd even want one though, generally i want less stuff not more

[puporing]

@PurpleTree For this particular piece you don't need the full keyboard.. most beginner don't, but I would get the full if you're buying one anyway just because you will eventually run into a piece that has the low bass or high notes and you can't play through the whole thing because of the key situation. Plus they're usually better made and if you're talking electric get the weighted keys so it feels like acoustic more. I would always recommend acoustic but I know it's not for everyone's living/budget situation.

Most of the people who rag on society like this don't appreciate the thousands of years of evolution, and their fortune of living in a first world developed democracy.

Yes there are flaws to living in first world late stage Capitalism, but the survival benefits are enormous.

maybe i could buy a smaller one and then see how it goes and if i like it sell that one and buy a bigger one.

i already see myself getting frustrated with this thing and throwing it out  

would 61 keys be enough for that song?

[puporing]

@PurpleTree  No shame in trying it out, yeah the 61 key is more than enough for this one .
