Well opus10no2,
Men with dignity don't publically name names in such delicate matters. It is just so low...
She didn't seem to apply the same 'dignity' you'd require when she was boldly crying my name out in extasy through the window, during the act.
What the hell has size of the brain got to do with it??? Or having two different sides to me playing comes from the soul not the brain. Since there is an obvious handicap which I feel is unecessary comes down hand size. Women do generally have smaller hands but why should they be disadvantaged by it. There is a new piano that is made to suit the hands of the player rather than one size fits all. Piano started in a time when males dominated society particularly in the arts. I have heard plenty of female pianists that have equal technique to males that I have heard. Strength, I don't think that if your able to pummel out a FFFFFFF x 1000 that makes you a better pianist, once again though I have heard plenty of female pianists that have obtained what I feel to be a great strength coupled with emotion and technical ability. It's the training, maybe females have to try harder but as usual men have the advantage of larger hands and strength whereas woman (as they do usually have smaller more nimble hands) are also at an advantage. It all depends on what your outlook is.
And what I read earlier about men being more obsessive about piano that's just BULL I'm totally completely obsessed. I think males are too, there's no difference in that respect. Anyway I hate comparisons of women against men it annoys me.
There are exceptions, but on the whole - females ARE less single minded and competitive, and therefore end up being happier with an average level of technical ability for a concert pianist.
I wonder what the biological difference between the functioning of males and females have on pianistic potential.
Basically, on average, a larger part of the females body is designed for reproductive functioning than males.
The breasts and hip size of females are there for reproductive functionality, so their bodies are, in most all sports, a slight handicap of sorts, and this is why there are always seperate competitions and events for males and females, for the differing standards.
Only the penis and testicles of the male are made for reproductive function, and apart from this, the shape of the male body is designed for everyday functionality, and athletic prowess.
Now, when it comes to the piano, I don't think anything but the lower strength, and testosterone are physical factors which effect females in this way.
Intelligence and the brain element is negligible, I only think the main difference is competitiveness and intensity of intent is more common in males.
Females are a bit less driven on average, but I think they have virtually equal brain potential.
