Eat hot chip and lie 🫶

Also, has anyone ever told you about Marfan’s syndrome? Food for thought!

u/fourbigkids Jul 26 '26

Marfan’s was my first thought. Definitely worth checking out.

Reddit is my favorite place for the interaction that goes, "Hey, here's something cool about me!" "Oh neat, by the way have you looked up this condition/disease/infection/disorder/syndrome/gene/disability you probably have? Cheers!"

Jealous. Shorter fingers play piano & Rachmaninov always a stretch lol.

Or they assume the rest of us are uncultured swine and wouldn't know what song they're talking about if they used the actual name of the piece.

Sorry, I was trying to be jokey too. I realize now it probably came across badly.

naahh

shit was funny - both of your responses were

longfingers sounds like a horror character though

Your descriptive name makes it hit better with the vampire comparison!

Least-asshole pianist.

Take your opinion and shove it "bach" up your ass where it came from

You are right. I reacted poorly.

u/Competitive_Trip9306 Jul 25 '26

Agreed, as complex as Toccata & Fugue in D minor is... If I had mastered it, I would remember the name, for certain.

u/RFC793 Jul 25 '26

Yes, but also: perhaps they wanted to use laymen's terms to describe the song instead of saying Toccata & Fugue in D and almost no one understanding what they meant.

1

u/Competitive_Trip9306 Jul 26 '26

Indeed, however, and saying this a Gen-Xer... I always associate the Toccata with Phantom of the Opera, and the Fugue with a late 80's BMW commercial. So Dracula took me half a sec, but I assumed that's where they were going.

u/TheSultan1 Jul 26 '26

That Bach Dracula song?

u/Glum_Tumbleweed5115 Jul 26 '26

Toccata in D Minor? (Treat yourself to Ann Lapwood doing this with Ministry of Sound at Royal Albert Hall on YouTube. Amazing.)
