A small group of respectful but differently minded students sounds wonderful, although I love teaching myself things, too.
Are "manners" really about mutual respect?

Are "manners" really about mutual respect?
Maybe, but they're also about familiarity with custom, and therefore cliquism.
Rachmaninoff or Liszt?
Rakh or Liszt, that's a tough question. Rakh has the PCs, preludes, and most of all the All-night Vigil and Symphonic Dances on his side. Liszt Années de pèlerinage, the PS and gobs of other music.
I think I'll go with Rakhmaninov, if forced to choose. Perhaps.
Stravinsky or Sibelius?
Liszt of course. And Sibelius I guess.
Sweet or sassy?
Can't I have both??!
Christmas or your birthday?
My birthday. Cheaper and less obnoxious music.
Okay, innocent or slutty? (Hey, you're 22)
Slutty, not in the sense of 'will sleep with other guys if I'm with her," but "really, really likes sex."
If you were a lesbian, would you be the butch or the lipstick one? Speaking strictly visually here. If you ARE a lesbian, welcome to the forum.
I think that's another thing you can't really choose. In any case, I don't know the answer.
Keeping a fish tank: family fun or cruelty to animals?
Family fun, the fish are probably better off.
Keeping birds (in a cage) as pets?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
Both! Haha.
EDIT: Birds in cages? I wouldn't.
Richter or Horowitz?
Richter.
Argerich or Pollini?
Haven't listened to Argerich except for the Tchaikovsky PC, but Pollini's Chopin is wonderful, so him I suppose.
Richter for me too.
Amarcord or La Strada?
Haven't listened to Argerich? Try the Ravel PC, all of her Chopin, particularly the scherzi and Barcarolle, Schumann Kreisleriana & Kinderszenen. And then there are the chamber music recordings - the piano duo discs with Freire and Pletnev are superb, as is the Prokofiev VS disc with Kremer.
Haven't seen either movie yet.
Tchaikovsky or Brahms?
Brahms is deeper of course but that also means his pain is deeper. But still Brahms.
Okay, man, I'll listen to a bunch of Argerich and you watch some Fellini okay?
Ravel or Debussy?
You're right, Brahms is deeper, although that doesn't make Tchaikovsky shallow, of course. But to say that Brahms's pain was deeper than the man's who composed the Pathétique Symphony, the Manfred, Swan Lake even, and the Piano Trio. But, in any case, I'd take Brahms over Tchai, too. Not least for all that chamber music.Originally Posted by Lykren
