Not another midi please!!!  :(

...and if you post a midi, the tempo could be a bit faster - it sounds better  :D
If it doesn't work - try something different!

Clearly, it's a midi.  How dumb do you think we are?

How come you can't tell the difference between a live recording and a midi?

He does not need to.

Only the ability to tell the difference between a genuine poster and a SDC styled idiot is required here.

I think it's a bit too slow. I Also noticed that this is actually a lot easier to play than the original chopin version.

Some rubato programming would've made it more human-like.

So I'm wondering, can you record for us some cluster playing, or some bangity bang bang?  Like random notes, and uneven scales or something?

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

I'm sorry but I can't. I am too sophisticated for that kind of brutal nonsense.

I much more prefer to play a musical and profound interpretation like my recording of this piece.

tehpro, this is obviously a midi, most of us are at least advanced amateurs and we can definitely hear the difference. Also, turning on a metronome during this piece proofs it :p

go back to your playmobile,

I agree.  Button pushing takes little skill compared to the level of musicianship required for the Chopin 25-1.
