Chopin hated gaudiness and found it repellent. [He] would despise it.

... And now he's dead.

[chopiabin]

you are so correct. I guess it was his haterd of gaudiness that did it.

I have seen Ali in concert, in Asia.  I went out of curiosity.
No comment.
Elle n'est pas importante.
She is highly "involved" with her manager, I understand.  There was a spam website about it at one point (I believe she had it removed)

in case you all havent noticed, she's also a Yamaha artist...she must be quite naive for choosing Yamaha...if you have ever tried playing on a Yamaha piano, they sound and feel like MIDI pianos..aweful pianos they are

Thanks to this thread, I now know who Ali Wood is and what the Ali Wood package is all about. You guys are doing such good publicity on her behalf. She should come post here and thank you all.

if you have ever tried playing on a Yamaha piano, they sound and feel like MIDI pianos..

Not true. I have played the GA/GH-series, all models in the C-series, an S-6, and a modified CFIII. None of them sound or perform like a MIDI, though Yamaha do sample their CFIIIS concert grand for for use in their digital pianos.

I suspect some of Wood's online music clips were produced on a digital piano to begin with. I am pretty sure that's the case with the "Entertainer" rag clip. No acoustic piano I have come across can sound that "sterile."
