simply amazing.

well, i had myself a lovely little epiphany when at luch today i listened to horowitz playing beethoven's moonlight sonata. i could not believe the dynamics and expression that can go into a piece that does not seem that difficult. anyway i proceeded to listen to the other parts like the allegro and presto, and was blown away by the presto!! it made me realize i want to play like that, and not accept the fact i was working on things that were too hard. it is a wierd situation, because i understand them musically but my hands are semi  retarded at this point. i dont know, i guess i feel like time is fleeting and i need to get good fast,(a normal state of being im sure!).

Greetings.

I can relate. When listening to certain artists performing music that I previously listened to, I hear their interpretations and sometimes I almost just slap myself thinking, "Oh how amazing and marvelous", because some pieces can have limitless interpretations that may go unnoticed. Some are very witty, romantic, sentimental, or just otherwise plain different, but nevertheless fascinating.

I find musicianship and correct tone, line, balance, etc. more difficult than the technical aspects of playing.

do you agree when most non musical or so called "musicians" here stuff they really don't listen to what is going on. it seems like it is just a passing thing that they learn to say i can play that!.but for me it has always been about the way i hear things i listen to them not just hear them. and it sucks sometimes cause you can't really get a good judgement unless someone who "listens" hears it, and says you know it would sound better if you did this you know what i mean?

I'm in the same boat as you are I want to play stuff which is to hard for me, my hands are retararded (so to speak) I can't seem to get them to do what I want them to, And I feel like time is fleeting. I guess that the only encouraging thing is that there are other people like me out there. You are right It is a normal state of being.
