In Reply to: RE: David, you seem to be bugged, but I'm not sure what's bothering you. posted by Analog Scott on August 09, 2014 at 13:02:01
"It does seem you do have a problem then. 1. You obviously aren't getting the jokes. 2.If you have a problem with young women who dress to look good that is your baggage not ours and not theirs."I'm not talking about "dressing to look good."
"You seem to have this idea about what is and is not acceptable attire for musicians."
I have zero say in what musicians wear at the Vanguard, regardless of ideas you may think I have.
"Seriously, do you think young up and coming classical musicians are being denied opportunities because they are not dressing sexy enough?"
Absolutely.
"Can you name one musician that is making it on sex appeal and not on talent?"
Can you say with certainty that Yuja's ticket and album sales have nothing to do with her dress and appearance?
"I stated a fact. It is easier Yuja to play in 4 inch heels than in flats. Apparently you have so much baggage when it comes to this subject that you can process reality."
You also said she dresses that way at home. Funny how men have failed to take up the 4-inch heel advantage.
Apparently you have so much emotional investment that you are unable to have a discussion without being rude. Little surprise.

Sorry if you find my responses rude but just know that you are simply completely wrong on this subject. Even on the subject of shoes and playing piano. Here's a piece of trivia for you. Most male pianists have substantially longer feet than Yuja. Think about it.
I'm completely wrong on this subject am I? How convincing.
And the bit about the shoes is still complete bullshit. Foot size, really? Too funny. You're entitled to your opinions, but I have no time for bullshitters.

"I'm completely wrong on this subject am I? How convincing."
well, yeah, you are.
"And the bit about the shoes is still complete bullshit. Foot size, really? Too funny. You're entitled to your opinions,"
It's not an opinion. Yuja told me as much herself. but what would she know about what works best for her playing the piano?
"but I have no time for bullshitters."
This coming from the guy who is just completely making shit up in his head and spouting it as fact?
I was referring to your opinions generally. I'm not surprised that she told you that, seems like a better answer to give someone than "I enjoy playing up my sex appeal".In light of this information it seems vital that boys and girls studying piano immediately go out and get a pair of Jimmy Choo's because of their small feet, and of course for those under 10yo they need bigger heels than a mere 4". What is really needed is a treatise on the topic complete with chart matching foot size with heel height, including whether men with larger feet should be demanding a small hole be cut in the stage to allow optimal compensation for their large feet. Perhaps you would take up the study?

Dude, do actually know ANYTHING at all about how a piano is played?

Take a good look at this picture. Got it? Now take a good look at this picture

Take a good careful look at her leg and foot position and try to imagine where her foot would be without the heel.
I just have to ask, do you really think that a world class pianist like Yuja Wang would wear shoes for concerts that would be anything less than ideal for her performances? Really?
Yes I'm somewhat familiar with how the piano is played.
Time to demand those boys and girls get their Jimmy Choo's!
Dave
When Scott says you're just wrong, you just are. What do you know about getting up on stage and playing music? Or the music business in general? LOL.
I'm just curious, what do you think Yuja Wang knows about getting up on stage and playing piano? Do you really believe that she habitually wears shoes that inhibit her ability to properly pedal? Do you believe that she is making false assertions about the advantage she gets from pedaling in high heels due to her small feet?
Don't kill the messenger. I mean if you really think Dave knows more about how to properly play the piano than Yuja just say so.
Have you read any of the many references I provided for Dave on pedaling? Have you looked at the pictures I have linked?
"Yes I'm somewhat familiar with how the piano is played."
Fooled me. I would think someone who knows anything about how the piano is played would understand the basics of pedaling. Maybe your familiarity stops at the hemline? That's where you seem to lose it completely.
I asked the question.
Analog Scott asked the question.
But none of the anti-babe folks ever answer it. Because they can't. And since that pulls the rug out from under their anti-babe complaints, they just ignore the question and post away in delirious anti-babe denial.
Here's the question:
"Can you name one babe musician that is making it on sex appeal and not on talent?"
So I say to the anti-babe folks, answer the question or shut up. :-)
