a common yet effective showpiece. i’m going to assume you’re talking about liszt’s adaptation. i’m not one for concertos and typically stick to sonatas, études, solos. something something snobbish piano player, i know. i enjoy my instrument.

la campanella is unique among liszt’s pieces because, well, it’s not his composition. i’m sure you’re aware it’s originally from niccoló panganini’s violin concerto which features a handbell, that liszt quite accurately replicated on a piano. that’s also assuming you didn’t do a google search of romantic era composers and choose the first one.

it’s quite a good showcase of technical skill, requiring one to have command over their instrument with little room for error. large interval leaps — including fifteenths and sixteenths — fast, and a challenge for both hands to play. it’s one of the most famous virtuoso pieces for piano, and for good reason. in addition, la campanella has it all if you’re looking to impress an examiner — flashy, difficult, and memorable coda anyone can keep up with. accessible enough for individuals not familiar with classical pieces, challenging enough to show off all your piano skills in under 5 minutes. essentially the equivalent of a michael bay film on a piano.

widely considered one of the most difficult virtuoso pieces, and, it’s playable! unlike my most hated “composition” ever. it’s also sometimes called the carpal tunnel concerto for this reason. brownie points for you, anon, for mentioning one of my favorite romantic era composers. impressive.

i am technically into subs, though my preference is doms. the sub list has far more criteria to meet, however. i don’t enjoy submission right off the bat, or being just given it doesn’t do it for me.

i do actually have a sub, who i enjoy domming for very much. so the dom/sub dynamic is something i like, but there’s a very long list of boxes that need to be checked (like any dynamic).

course i don’t mind you asking.

1. any unexpected ways kink has improved your life? if so, what are they?

kind of corny but i’ve made some of my best friends through kink. it’s drastically improved the trust in myself and others, and i know myself better, including boundaries. man am i so much better at communication and boundaries because of being a freak.

40. tongue or no tongue while kissing?

too much tongue doesn’t make for a very good kissing experience, but i do prefer tongue. i can be a little shit and bite on it and the response is always fun.

50. best sexual ego boost received?

at the expense of sounding arrogant i truly adore when people tell me they’re the best they’ve ever had. i had someone unironically tell me i ruined them for ever having sex with someone else so, win i suppose?
