I'm young so I've got nothing but time to waste

I downloaded the Vince Guaradli Trio's A Charlie Brown Christmas yesterday and I've probably listened to it four or five times now. I fucking love that album. I think one of the reason's it's so good is that it's only good at christmas time, at least for me and it was played a lot during my childhood before I even new what jazz was. It could

>>It could probably do without the minute-long Fur Elise only because it's kind of played out

Dude, Fur Elise is so played out. I remember when I was a kid and twice a year at piano recitals some kid would play that song. At first I thought it was tight and I wanted to learn it, but when I finally got advanced enough to play it I was like, "uhhh, how about not?"

Ridiculous!!! And what the hell kind of essay do you write for a music theory class anyway?

We have to juxtapose two pieces which we are given in advance, comparing and contrasting two aspects from the follwing list: rhythm and meter, melody, non-chord tones, harmony, and form, which are determined at the time of the test.

And sometimes multiple kids in the same recital!

At music camp the other counselors would all sit in the back and either make fun of the kid for playing something played out (like Fur Elise and other things which I do not know) or talk about how cool it was that someone was playing something unique or which they particularly liked. It's probably good that you didn't play Fur Elise, because having your piano teacher make fun of you behind your back would kind of suck. Even if you didn't know about it.
