I'm just taking a stab at it, but maybe he/she is making a joke about how an overwhelming amount of the threads in this forum have to do with "this is harder than that" and that it seems like piano culture (or whatever you would call it) is just heading in the direction that one can only be a "good" pianist if they started playing 10 hours a day at age 2 and had all of the Liszt Etudes memorized by age 5. (Sorry if that example isn't impressive enough, and if you think the Liszt Etudes are laughable at best.)

Or maybe it's not that deep.

(Sorry for my ranting, but I'm just getting sick of hearing about teenagers killing themselves to master the Rach 3 or some other extremely difficult piece for some competition. In the words of Bartok, "Competitions are for horse, not artist.")

No.  All of this person's posts are equally moronic.

What the hell is Chopan's moonlit sonatine?
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

Your response here suggests that you are taking the original question seriously; does it really sound like a serious question to you?

Careful now! Do not forget that a scholar has prepared a Beethoven 10th Symphony score (although admittedly I'm not aware that anyone has made a piano transcription of it yet...).

You'd need your finger in your missing ear for that one, wouldn't you?
