How will you know if someone does the dare he/she was supposed to do?

Are there any banned questions?

Anyway, my actual question is who is your least favorite pianist?

I enjoy different pianists for different reasons, but there are some general characteristics that carry over between the ones I have enjoyed the most, although they are still very individual players/people to me. 
 
The pianists I have chosen to listen to the most repeatedly and in-depth are Marik, and Alexandre Dossin.  Gould is somebody I will listen to, Horowitz, Richter, Brendel.  I had a time of listening repeatedly and in-depth to Mark Westcott.  And then I've listened to numerous others, of course.  But, I am a person who actually does not listen to music in general very much - a little bit goes a very long way for me, so it's a very big deal for me to listen to somebody repeatedly.  I am extremely particular about what I listen to overall, of anything, and often prefer silence or listening to the world around me.  Sometimes if I can't sleep, there are particular things I'll listen to.

Make a really terrible short improvisation and post it to Audition Room's improv section, asking for serious feedback. Let it stay there at least 24 hours before you say it's not serious.

I rolled my left ankle again.

And got it on camera!

I kept trying it until I landed it though.

THEN I went to the doctors office.






Yeah yeah guys, I got you tomorrow or something.

And I hope you know I can just turn down the volume on the piano right?
