The Piano: What can you play?

**Creation X** · 08-02-2009 05:20 AM

Serious thread is serious.

Well, today I just learned the Song of Storms from legend of Zelda, and feel pretty damn accomplished.

I can play the following
Heart and Soul (both parts, not intro)
Dark Blue by Jacks Mannequin
Song of Storms from Legend of Zelda

I tried learning Lilium on piano but haven't gotten far

Then again, I haven't really tried...

**Creation X** · 08-02-2009 05:41 AM

I don't blame you slayer, catgirls are hella' sexy ;D

**slayer** · 08-02-2009 05:46 AM

It's not from a catgirl movie

Those are horns on their head, not cat ears

Working on learning "canon in Z" by tay zonday

**baronbrocoli** · 08-02-2009 07:42 AM

I could play Fur Elise up to the third movement... lack of practice has made that impossible

I plan on learning Moonlight Sonata's first movement and a few zelda songs (zelda RUUUUULEEEZZZ)

**Zhaylin** · 08-02-2009 08:14 AM

I can play pretty much anything I hear, but I can only play basic notes. My brain and hands aren't dextrous or coordinated enough to play chords.
And I can't read music to save my life.

Congrats on your accomplishment!

**Oneironaut Zero** · 08-02-2009 10:48 AM

I can play about the first page of Moonlight Sonata, and Fur Elise.
Greensleaves
Heart and Soul (both parts)
Chopsticks
Theme to Mortal Kombat (first movie)
The Entertainer (treble clef only)
Theme song to Tales from the Crypt
Theme song to Beetlejuice
Used to know how to play "Fallen" by Alicia Keys, but it's been so long, I don't remember it.

**ninja9578** · 08-02-2009 02:50 PM

I used to be able to play really well, but I stopped

Maybe I should start up again.

**Sesquipedalian** · 08-08-2009 03:28 PM

I could play quite a few songs, and then I broke my left ring finger. Now I am unpracticed on piano, violin, mandolin, and ocarina. yay.

**Creation X** · 08-08-2009 06:39 PM

I thought about playing the ocarina but...eh, not thanks

Also, I'm going to learn the other father song from coraline, and Hello Seattle by Owl City

**baronbrocoli** · 08-10-2009 05:58 AM

I hurt my finger recently as well... it really sucked I couldn't play for a month and when I got back I was all stiff and I couldn't move very well. It took me a little to get back to it now I'm learning this song

reading sheet music and playing jazz is like riding a bike and Tom Cruise. Completely unrelated.

**Creation X** · 08-10-2009 01:38 PM

lol Artelis. Tom Cruise doesn't ride bikes...bikes ride Tom Cruise.

anyway, I learned the Song of time(? I think that's what it is) from ocarina of time

I also want to learn this song

**Lord Bennington** · 08-10-2009 01:43 PM

K, so you know when you were on your bike in the original Pokemon games? Yeah. I play that song. It's great at parties.

**Creation X** · 08-10-2009 01:50 PM

holy cow Lord Bennington, that's freaking awesome.
for some reason, you reminded me of Bo Burnham when you said that.
(youtube him, if you don't know who he is)

I don't think you quite got it.

I play mostly rock piano, but I've recently started getting into modern jazz. The Bad Plus is incredible.

**KingCarnie** · 08-11-2009 05:07 PM

I've been taking piano lessons for about a year now. Songs that I can play are:

Victor's Piano Solo - Danny Elfmann

Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park

Will of the Heart - ???

**Kael Seoras** · 08-11-2009 08:07 PM

J.S. Bach's Prelude in C Major from the Well-Tempered Clavier
an arrangement of Henry Mancini's Moon River
a really simplified version of Herbie Hancock's Chameleon (bass and melody)
a really simplified version (bass and melody) of The Chicken (often attributed to Jaco Pastorius, I can't remember who actually composed it)

...as well as some stuff my friend and I have composed.
