“The Sound Always Comes First” — Andrea Bonatta on Teaching Liszt

Italian pianist and scholar Andrea Bonatta has spent decades exploring the contradictions of Franz Liszt, from performer to man of faith, virtuoso to poet. Here, in conversation with Piano Street at Liszt Utrecht 2026, he shares his vision. Read more

Hi Drooxy
I am going to disappoint you as I don't know if they are good or not.  I had a look at the site though and would really be interested to know what others think and if anyone has tried the CD's.  I would love to learn some tricks but wonder if it is just wishful thinking to skip the years of practise.
thoughts welcome from the experienced people here on this forum
Thanks
Patricia

They are all chords. It's for keyboard. That might be good for playing in a band though. I'm sure it would help me.
Ahh llamas......is there anything they can't do?

Hi Drooxy

playpiano is very good if you want to comp along with your singing as the initial Cds revolve around singing the melody and playing chord patterns...fun if you can sing...but, if you sing like a strabgled frog (like me)...then its pretty pants ??? so my Cds are gathering dust as we speak

there is better out there if you want to play the melody, and chords with rhythm to popular songs...but, if you want to play classical music? ..then a good teacher would be your best bet

hope this helps
