My summer reading assignment is for Huck Finn but would I, I guess, miss out if I didn't read Tom Sawyer or would it not make sense to me?
2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoIs Bach's Prelude and Fugue considered a solo piece?
For a competition, they ask for two contrasting solo works, and I plan to play both the Prelude and Fugue as one of the solo works. Would that work?

How well do you have to be a pianist to play a concerto?
I've been playing piano for 10 years now and I'm really considering going forward with piano from everyday hobby that consumes 40-1 hour of my time to more. I'd like to start playing concerti, but when people first start playing them...? My teacher is a teacher that I absolutely adore, but she hates arrogance (especially among her students) and here I am, curious on how well are pianists who play concerti. Approximately how well/how long when you first played (serious) concerti? Any ABRSM or levels in music attained? Of course, I know it depends on the concerti...how about, Mozart's last 8 concerti from K.466-K.595 and the like? Thanks!

19 AnswersOther - Australia1 decade agoHow can a stubborn 48-year-old lose 80 pounds?
Let me explain the situation: my dad is 48 and he's 212 pounds. He still thinks he's healthy (weird isn't it?) and he's a very stubborn guy. He practices Tai Chi, and he's a businessman and has very little free time. When he does have free time, it's spent watching television. When he was young, he used to be very skinny like 110 pounds. But around his thirties he started getting more obese until he reached today, around 212 pounds. Not to say that Tai Chi is bad or anything, but he rarely practices it and it's not really working. How can I get him to lose weight and how long will it take for him to lose 80 pounds if I get him to exercise?

Lamb and Lynx Gaede
Right now, they're 14, and:
They say that Adolf Hitler killing over a million Jews is perfectly fine (they're of German heritage).
They also say that the person who killed Martin Luther King Jr. is a hero.
They're from Bakersfield, California, but currently reside in Montana because "Bakersfield just isn't white enough."
During their ABC interview, the girls said that,
"Adolf Hitler was a great man with good ideas."
Their grandpa has swastika signs all over his property because he really believes in Hitler.
"Our race is Nature's Finest,
So I can't understand people's blindness.
ALL the mud races must be banished,
For look at the world they have damaged.
Look around and what do I see?
Ugly brown faces staring at me.
Our people must look like my mom and dad.
They don't now and that makes me mad." (part a poem by Lynx).
5 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoShould we have racial profiling?
I personally think that even if we DO have racial profiling it WOULD NOT work. Notice that Islam is a RELIGION NOT A RACE...there ARE Americans who are Muslim!
