    I know I'm not here often, but I'd still like to spread the word for someone in the Twitter community I'm in. Hope this goes out to anyone who has the wish and ability to help and support her... Thank you! http://fernandonanuk.tumblr.com/post/85335686505/please-help-art-auction-benefit-for-bindi

    Oh?... Perhaps Liszt hasn't come across your mind yet... Here's Liszt's Dante sonata, just for an easy reference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeqfQCnMusE Beethoven does have quite a lot of power too though... Same goes for most other composers heralding from the German school of music.

    As a musical classicist myself, I enjoy classical music a lot(, perhaps to the extent that it could be considered second nature to me). I especially love the music of Mozart and other Classical Era masters, like Joseph and Michael Haydn, Beethoven, Clementi and Salieri, just to name a few. I also love opera a lot, especially those by Mozart and the so-called 'bel canto' composers. (More of Rossini and Bellini though. Haven't listened to much Donizetti yet though. And since 'bel canto' is more of a technique used in singing, there's technically no such thing as a 'bel canto' composer or opera, hence 'so-called'.) I also love quite a lot of music from Baroque and Romantic composers like Bach, Vivaldi, Strauss Jr., Chopin, Liszt, etc. I also like the interpretations of performers like Maria Callas (soprano), Diana Damrau (soprano), Natalie Dessay (soprano), Dorothea Röschmann (soprano), Pavarotti (tenor), William Bennett (flautist), Rudolf Serkin (pianist). (This list is not exhaustive though.) Glad to know that there're quite a number of classical music lovers here.

    Favourite female singers? Maria Callas Diana Damrau Natalie Dessay Dorothea Röschmann Because... Opera... And they have relatively good vocal technique and lovely voices...

    Personally, I don't believe in any superstitions. However, I do have a little of OCD... When walking up stairs, my right foot has to reach the top first, and when walking down stairs, my left foot has to reach the bottom first. When having meals, I tend to leave the best (most favourite dishes) for the last. Order is also pretty important, I guess... (Can't think of others at the moment. ) When I was younger, I used to have a compulsion to 'take my glasses off' before showering even though I had already taken them off. Yup, that's the weird me.

    Usually we just have dinner as a family, but we do go out together quite frequently, once in every week or two perhaps... And we do have a pleasant time... Well, at least most of the time.

    I guess I might be unable to be on here regularly... School's getting pretty busy... >.<

      MLP Forums>School.

      Just kidding, but that's too bad! How is school?

      MaestroNep9997

      Oh, sorry. Just seen your post. :P

      Yeah, it's been good, but still rather busy... :/

      But there're only 2 more months till the end of my exams this year, so I've just got to hang on for a little while more. ;P

      I meant reply instead of post, btw. :P 9_6

    At first, I thought Fluffle Puff was just Fluttershy with overgrown pink hair because of the similar colour scheme (eyes, hair colour and such), but then, as I watched more of the animations and comics, it somewhat became much cuter in my opinion. And hilarious too... And it's really interesting to see Fluffle Puff playing around with Chrysalis.

    It'll definitely be one by Mozart for me, since I'm a Mozartian here. But out of all his beautiful compositions, I feel that his Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra in C major, K. 299 is one of the most beautiful (and well-known) of his compositions. The second movement is exceptionally beautiful, in my opinion. And what's even more surprising, was that the flute and harp were two of Mozart's most hated instruments (probably because of the tuning), and yet he wrote some of the finest and most beautiful music for them. Now, presenting to you, Mozart's Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra in C major, K. 299... (You may skip to 10:10 for the 2nd movement. ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoGg1OWOy7Y Oh, and just some other beautiful music works: Second movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467 Anything from Mozart's concerti in general... They're all so lovely Mozart's 'Le nozze di Figaro' (The Marriage of Figaro), K. 492 'Ah, lo sento' from Salieri's 'Europa riconosciuta' (Europa Recognised) Quite a number of other classical music works.

    Probable things I might be doing: 1) Sleeping/Taking a nap. 2) In school studying. 3) Playing the piano. 4) Taking a shower. 5) Hanging out with friends/classmates. 6) Having an outing, with my family perhaps... 7) Sketching, but I might be doing it in front of my computer, so... 8) Composing, but sometimes I use some computer programs for help. And just a note, this list is not exhaustive.
  12. MaestroNep9997
    Two main programs I enjoy using: 1) MuseScore: A free music scorewriter software. Easy to use and comparable (in terms of functionality) with famous programs like Finale and Sibelius. I usually use it for composing, apart from pen-and-paper. And trust me, it's really good, if you're looking for a free music notation software. 2) TweetDeck: Just for the usual Twitter stuff, though it does derp around a lot. Yeah, just gonna list these few. There might be some others though, I guess...

    Being a semi-closet brony, I'm actually fine with closet bronies. They'd probably have some personal reasons as to why they won't want others to know about it. And they're still fans of the show, so there's not really much reason to consider them outside the brony fandom. And it's alright if someone finds out I'm a brony. I just won't go around telling everyone publicly that I'm one, that's all.

    Based on what I perceive myself to be... (And what I personally am, probably...) ~60% Fluttershy... Because I'm a shy and socially awkward introvert, usually outspoken or hiding behind people in a group despite being relatively friendly, I guess... I find birds and small little animals cute too... :3 ~30% Twilight... Because I'm really involved with studies and academic work, but I am not well-read at all. ~10% Derpy... Because... Derp. And yes, I'm sort of a klutz. ;P And I think I've just found out that I'm an INFJ using the MBTI personality test, a ~50%S ~35%C person based on the DISC profile... So... Erm... Yeah... Guess I'll just make my way out of here slowly, if it's alright... Heh...
  15. MaestroNep9997
    Definitely classical music, coming from a musical classicist like me. I love the music of Mozart and quite a number of composers. I especially love opera. <3 But I can't seem to appreciate much modern/20th-21st century music though. Not really suited for my music taste...
  16. MaestroNep9997
    Well... I've made quite a number of friends on Twitterponies, a few from my local brony group, and a few over here in the forums... And yeah, I do have pretty close relations with some of them... And nope, I haven't met any in real life before.

    Back then, I watched 1 or 2 episodes every other day. Right now, I don't really watch much, except to check some details here and there.
  18. MaestroNep9997
    My average sleep time during a typical school day is ~2am local time, though there are a lot of times I stay up till 3 or 4... And then, I wake up at around 6am... There are times I even go without much sleep at all... It's a miracle I'm still alive... And yes... Too much school stuff for me to handle... >.< Plus, I'm a very slow worker indeed...
  19. MaestroNep9997
    Me: "Derpy?" Derpy: "Derpy?" Me: "Derpy?" Derpy: "Derpy?" Me: "Derpy?" Derpy: "Derpy?" Me: "Derpy?" Derpy: "Derpy?" Me: "Derpy?" Derpy: "Derpy?" ... Hm... This might turn out to happen if it's real...

    I might be able to imitate quite a few characters on the show, given that I'm able to execute my falsetto voice quite decently...
  21. MaestroNep9997
    Last thing I drank: Water... Last thing I ate: Pears. Hm... Yeah... Probably not that interesting down here. Had rice with assorted dishes, and some barley dessert before having the pears though.
  22. MaestroNep9997
    If I remember correctly, I haven't walked into a wall before. I walked into a glass panel real hard though... I walked in a certain direction, then started wondering where I'm headed to, before realising that I had walked in the wrong direction, then started changing direction. Almost went down/up the escalator in the opposite direction. Yup, I'm probably a klutz...
  23. MaestroNep9997
    If singing with my falsetto voice like how an operatic soprano would sing with her normal voice is considered girly, that'll be it. And I like the colour pink too... Plus, my personality's kinda like Fluttershy's... And yes, I'm male. A natural bass singer, in fact.
  24. MaestroNep9997
    The following would either be what I tend to do, or what would help me effectively... 1) Spending time with classical music. 2) Spending time with family and friends. 3) Sleep.
  25. MaestroNep9997
    I've had ingrown fingernails and toenails quite a number of times before. It happens more frequently for my fingernails though. And yes, it's pretty annoying, but I've gotten quite used to it... Well, sort of... Oh, and I usually get them out by myself, either with the aid of a pair of scissors or a nail-clipper...
