Chopin is awesome.
Bach, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff are mind numbingly awesome.
(IMO)

We have some very intelligent postings on the Piano Forum. Usually.

I do think that when Chopin is disparaged as shallow or merely "pretty," or as not very good, we are not operating at a very high level here.

A person has to question how well some of the respondents understand the history of music, and the history of piano literature.

For instance, if there were not a Chopin there probably would not have been a Debussy.

Well, no sense in protracting all this --------
