pianoist d'amore Full Member Registered: 09/24/10 Posts: 179 Loc: El Macero, CA, USA	Totally off topic but I am really curious to find out whether there might be some potential link between signs and musical talent. And whether piano players out there have a tendency to play pieces by composers from same or compatible signs. While Bach is Aries, Beethoven is Sagittarius, Mozart is Aquarius, Chopin is Pisces... I am an Aquarius myself and I do find a relatively easier click with Beethoven and Mozart, whereas Bach and Chopin are a lot harder. And the contemporary musicians that I like tend to be Aquarius too. Very interesting... What's your sign? And what's the sign of your favorite composer? Edited by pianoist d'amore (10/12/10 01:16 PM)

JeanieA Full Member Registered: 11/03/04 Posts: 440 Loc: Reno, Nevada	I'll have to look to see which composers are Scorpio/Sagitarius; I'm on the cusp. Interesting theory. UPDATE: Scorpio composers (among others): Aaron Copeland, John Phillips Souza, Johann Strauss, and Domenico Scarlatti. I really like these guys, so maybe there's something to this!

Escher, Gene Wilder, Clint Eastwood, and Brigham Young. I don't know what kind of company I'm in, but it's company. _________________________ (I'm a piano teacher.)

Rui725 500 Post Club Member Registered: 11/19/09 Posts: 953	It's quite possible that Chopin was an Aquarian, as back in the old days, documented birth dates tend to be a bit of time after the real birth.

Mr Super-Hunky 4000 Post Club Member Registered: 04/17/05 Posts: 4052 Loc: Arizona.	Yes. Although the new "swagger" old spice product sounds appealing, my favorite is still the original round stick formula. TMI apply?

pianoist d'amore Full Member Registered: 09/24/10 Posts: 179 Loc: El Macero, CA, USA	I've never heard of "moon sign" either. How come my moon sign is the same as my sun sign? I guess I can't be anymore Aquarius. Maybe I should seriously consider learning Jazz now since spontaneity and creativity are core signatures of Aquarius...
