no offense or anything but you should really perfect a piece before posting it here.

finally. someone who understands. i mean this was a competition of sorts. to see who could play it without having seen it before. i'm waiting for opus10no2's reply. but, apparently he's off romancing. i suppose i will be stuck with this chopin etude op 10 #4 forever.

he sent jake to plague me with a reality i already knew about. i * at etudes. in fact, when i went in for lessons at west chester - and the teacher gave me an etude - i blankly said 'i can't play those.' then he said...'yes you can . i'll show you how.' well, the thing is he gave me some great tips and i CAN play chopin - but i'm sort of a beginner with chopin etudes - he can't exactly give me his brain. i get so far into the piece and then some sort of neural connection breakdown happens and even if practiced a section over and over - one note does the whole thing in. i've been recording and rerecording over and over this stupid etude and i can't get the whole thing in one shot. it makes me want to kill myself. unless i record it slow - which i won't do to opus 10no2's satisfaction.
