there are many great women artists that can do just fine without having to be compared by gender. what if we had a stage where the curtains remained drawn. would people be able to tell gender so well? i thought idil biret was a man when i first heard her. she has a lot of strength. and, yet - she is female.
why the arguments? i don't see any. we're both more similar than different. a man always has some feminine parts and a woman - strength and endurance like a man. in fact, some women are found to have more endurance than some men - although probably not as much strength.
who care? i don't care. nothing anybody on this forum could say - would make me think 'oh, it's hopeless - i'll never be able to play like a man.' why would i want to play like a man? we're all made differently. can't we just appreciate each other?
btw, there is nothing religious in this. in fact, for me - i find it strange that there is LESS tolerance from those who propose that we all came from apes. maybe it's a male hierarchichal thing. men are better at everything . ahahahahhaah you are full of yourself, kassaa.
if anything - it is STILL a time factor for women. women generally have both responsibilities at home and at work. therefore less actual work hours (practice time) if they are juggling their own job, practice, children, cooking, cleaning,e tc. and, to be realistic about it - it is very hard to be a concert artist, woman, mother, etc. but it has been done. same for women composers. perhaps this is why many women and men artists prefer to be alone and not married?
somehow, i think personality enters the picture more than sex - in playing beethoven, mozart, and whatever else we are discussing. also, interest. if you play something many years - you become familiar with it's intricacies. murray perahia has studied mozart much more deeply and complexly than most pianists who play mozart for 'fun.'
