NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ZIMERMAN


except for cortot

[rubinsteinmad]

Well, Zimerman's still the best, but by 2025, I think it could be a different story

[rubinsteinmad]

No, not 2025. I had a typo. I meant 2052

[ajlongspiano]

I think its kind of funny how I start virtually every new page haha

[chopinlover01]

You're the starter of new ideas, I suppose?
In other news I just had the greatest practice session of my life. I worked on the Pathetique for about 75 minutes, then my Bach Prelude and Fugue, then relaxed with some Chopin (the Nocturne in g minor, op 37/1 if anyone cares).
The Chopin, although the really long chromatic run starting on the high "A" (so specific I know) needs some work, went amazingly well, especially the choral.

Cool

HOW DARE YOU!!!!

And Blechacz is second

[rubinsteinmad]

BTW, I cant find Blechacz's playing of that Ballade anywhere. It's not on YT, nor is it in his discography.

[rubinsteinmad]

OMG TAMILA SALIMDJANOVA was AMAZING. In the exposition of her Ballade (I didn't like her intro), she was able to play metronomic, yet without making it sound like a waltz!

OMG I HATE THAT B!TCH TEACHER SO MUCH NOW. I WILL NOT BE JOINING YOU GUYS, PENCILART AND IVETT AND AJLONGSPIANO AND DAVID123456

[rubinsteinmad]

And the sounds the Hamelin was able to make on that Yamaha were WONDERFUL

[ajlongspiano]

Ivett <3

[rubinsteinmad]

Ivett <3

Shut up. Ur causing me:
1. To become jealous 2. Release poisonous things into my bloodstream (that's what happens when you have negative feelings) 3. have an earlier death.

[ajlongspiano]

Why are you jealous?!?!? hahahaha

[rubinsteinmad]

Why are you jealous?!?!? hahahaha

I'm jealous of Ivett, not you hahahaha


hehehe
lelelele
I'm not really da bomb

[pencilart3]

[ajlongspiano]

Perfect meme, Noah. haha

[rubinsteinmad]

Well, I CANT find Blechacz's interperataion. Instead of mocking me with your meme, please send me a link where I can find it. The End,

[ajlongspiano]

Julian did a great job.

Not as good as Zimerman.

[rubinsteinmad]

OMG Some people online are COMPLAINING about the results, saying "all their favorite pianists were knocked out", and that the Chopin Comeptition "was a scandal, and has been since 1980". what. They must be some stupid *insert b!tch teacher's names* students who have no taste.

Oh, and by calling the Chopin Competition a scandal only makes people write you off.

All my favorite pianists got in <33333333333 (I only heard a few people though, so that doesn't count )

[rubinsteinmad]

BTW, I think Yeoul Eum Son is prettier than Ivvet.

[ajlongspiano]

nope nope nope. People are mad because Tiffany Poon got cut lol

[rubinsteinmad]

nope nope nope. People are mad because Tiffany Poon got cut lol

Well, after hearing Hansen, Poon can't stand A CHANCE.

Besides, tomorrow most people are playing the ASGP lol lol.
BUT NOT YOUR STUPID IVETT
....

Julians playing... FANTASIE IMPROMPTU lol
Seong-jin Cho's playing SONATA #2. what is he going to play 2 sonatas?

[david456103]

i'm pretty pissed that tiffany poon got out, she was one of the best

[ajlongspiano]

She had great technique but was pretty straight forward in my opinion. She's immensely talented but there are too many special players this year

[rubinsteinmad]

ikr there are many great people

I agree, shes really straight forward and usually doesn't really spend time to enhance the music.

[rubinsteinmad]

Psh Olof "Olaf" Hansen > Tiffany "Elsa" Poon > 1000 "Hans"> 100 "Kristoff"> 0 > Me "Ana"

[ajlongspiano]

If you ever call her stupid again crap is gonna go down

[chopinlover01]

With all due respect, you sound not menacing at all when you explicitly use the word "crap", lol.

[ajlongspiano]

Exactly my point hahahaha. It was a joke pulled off quite convincingly I suppose!

[schumaniac]

?

[rubinsteinmad]

what is this??? The 2nd round got announced??? holy sh-t

yes, despite the efforts of people like you

[schumaniac]

yes, despite the efforts of people like you

what do you mean........

[rubinsteinmad]

what do you mean........

HAnsen got in despite the efforts of people like you who imply you think Poon is better.

[schumaniac]

HAnsen got in despite the efforts of people like you who imply you think Poon is better.

yeah I wasn't making an "effort" to keep someone from getting in -_-
I'm disappointed she didn't get in though

[schumaniac]

additional comment:
Ji-yeong Mun won the 2015 Busoni... and also the 2014 Geneva (it's not nearly as big as it used to be though)... how will she fare in the Chopin? in any case... that's pretty aggressive, trying to garner all these competition wins...

I think she got kicked out.

I found her playing at the Busoni solo rounds (I didn't listen to the final round) even plainer than Youlan Ji's. (By far, actually).

Oh did she?

That's not good... of course, she has a lot to brag about on her bio already but losing a huge competition after winning a bunch of other ones... :/

None of those are the same as the Chopin.

For the Chopin, even ONE prize can cause an uproar that lasts for years. (I. e. Avdeeda vs Bozhanov vs Wunder vs Trifonov, Pogorelich vs Dang Thai Son, etc.)
For the Busoni, several misplaced prizes only leads to some skepticallism for a few weeks at most.

BTW, her name is Chloe now, not Ji-Yeong. Look it up on the Busoni FB page. It calls her "Chloe (Ji-yeong) Mun".

[evryali]

In my opinion I think That Richard Hamelin, Dmitry Shishkin, Eric Lu, Lucasz Krupinski, Zi qu will be among the finalists.

And I am still confused on how Yike Tony Yang got past stage 1 I found his playing sorta timid and stuff.

[rubinsteinmad]

Me too. I thought Tiffany Poon was far better.

[pencilart3]

1. Eric Lu 2. Krzysztof Książek 3. Richard-Hamelin 4. Aimi Kobayashi

[rubinsteinmad]

1. Eric Lu 2. Krzysztof Książek 3. Richard-Hamelin 4. Aimi Kobayashi

Why is Eric Lu at first? The judges aren't ready to give the prize to an American. 

Besides, there are other great people, too.

i.e. Seong-jin Cho, and I didn't hear the other people, but apparently Ivett is pretty good according to PS's unofficial boss

If were doing it by country then Lucasz Krupinski already won
