If you had the fastest fingers in the world..

Poll

if you could..you would..or not?

I'd use my ability to the fullest: 32 (37.6%)
I wouldn't 'abuse' this ability, and only play the music at a tempo I find musically appropriate: 48 (56.5%)
I would be embarrased by this skill, and feel a need to play many slow pieces to prove I am more musical...: 5 (5.9%)

Pogorelich is a chimera cross breed between a snail and a human, what do you expect.

Snail?!?
Have you heard his Chopin 2nd and 3rd sonata (especially last movement live)?

And btw., Pogorelich is a genius.

When he wants too, yes.

For some reason the snailside seems to occur more frequently during recent years.
