Don't start that crap again! That bloody statement that Chopin is overrated... I would have never thought of that. People just can't admit that Chopin is awesome! I'm just playing... It's all good

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 --------
