I guess I need your computer to give mine a lesson in magic. I tried all over the middle of the pictures and no red rectangles appear. No little Mickey Mouse glove shows up anywhereIt is the latter because I also use a MacAir.
Simply go to the middle of the picture and you will see the red rectangle with the white arrow of youtube... and click... magic
they are already on the image... they don't need to appear : you can click anywhere on the image.... unless you blocked that feature in your settings.I guess I need your computer to give mine a lesson in magic.

I believe that every song in the world can be skated to. Not by every skater But I also believe that the best skaters can make anything work. It's the same with performers... the great actor can have a specific kind of character they can portray... the greatest actors can do it all.I would rather list the 10 songs I hope to never hear again from an ice skater. As for modern music, it doesn't bother me as long as it's skateable. Some of the songs people have listed in the other thread just do not make sense to me and I felt like they were mentioned because the poster liked the song or the artist - rather than could it be skated to. I also think music with lyrics can be VERY distracting if it isn't subtle. And then like El said, so many of the junior skaters were besieged with music that just didn't work. Maybe it was a financial decision but I really wish the choreographers (some of them well-known) would be a little more creative.
I'll get the next teenager in the family who visits to take a look at that. I have a notorious black thumb when it comes to electronic devices and don't set them up myself. I was given an iPhone last Christmas and although the giver set it up for me, I managed to get it Locked to Owner in the first week when I attempted to add my fingerprint as ID. It took three visits to the Apple store before they finally managed to get the thing unlocked. I can listen to 4everchan's choices by writing down what's being played by whom and then going to YouTube and entering that request directly. Just can't get them to play here (nor can I always watch the video clips people post, although I could see yours, thanks!).There must be something wrong with your computer settings?
My computer is so old that ithe operating system can no longer be updatted. My browser can acsess only about half of the sites I try to go to. But all of the beautiful posts that 4everchan put up today work like a charm with a single click.
And speaking of the Mendelsohn violin concerto, here is Sassha Cohen at 15.

Let's say there was a list of 10 songs or pieces of music the skaters could choose from - only those ten. Which ones would you pick for that list? I am thinking of single skaters; you would probably need different ones at least for ice dance.
Back in the day this was known as the compulsory dances
Oops. I wrote a lengthy reply about Alec Guinness's versatility, and then decided it was way too far off topic. Must have hit Post while I was deleting my reply and moving on.I believe that every song in the world can be skated to.

But leaving aside novelty, who would you give these two pieces to? (and yes, I am being just slightly evil but I do use the former to write to... and the second has had many covers, including this one)
I'm not going to include the million really really novel novelty or just plain strange songs I can think of... because skaters are not that cruel and/or suicidal.
The cage: 4.33 is a conceptual piece where the music is created by the surroundings of the performer... Nope... i won't bother listening to the one you put there... because you cannot have a willingly created "cover" of that piece. I have actually performed 4'33 myself and the indications are clear and do not include a metal band So yeah... it's just not a concept that would fit a figure skating program... though I can imagine Keegan Messing skating on the "music" created by the audience...
I think we could all do that... and there would be usual suspects aplenty.I would rather list the 10 songs I hope to never hear again from an ice skater.
it's not quite the same as a regular piece of music... it needs to be created by the surrounding sound, the audience... not by silly death metal bands,without any audience posing and playing air guitar... the "silence" is not real silence.. that's the whole point.. anyways... i am going to give up on the musicology class here... i know you were just being evil and fair enough, maybe I was going a bit too far in making a bold statement... but the point i really wanted to make is that all the music i shared for instance, most of it wouldn't cross the mind of most skating fans is actually not that hard to skate to.... there is so much good music that people have never used because they either do not know it or imagine it's too hard to skate to... and I disagree. Now, the Cage's only positive thing is that it fits the LP time requirementsHey, if a piece of music can be created it can be covered
I was just using the word evil since you used it yourself no worries.Sorry. I'm not actually trying to be evil, and I really do respect your knowledge of serious music which is very much greater than my own. I suspect it's just the different mindsets we bring to things.
