Greetings

I can see that the mask could be used to obscure identity, but eliminating the gloves would help with the wrong notes. Nevertheless beautifully played...

If I was to leave a vote, it would be to something like "Interesting." Of course it could be a little more elaborate than that...

On a side note, I did see this video before, but never thought of it as disturbing. I still don't think it is disturbing.

Ok.  That was a bizarre experience.  You've got to admit though, major respect for playing that piece with gloves. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

I added the option for "interesting" so you may vote now.

I can think of better things than listening to Chopin's op 10-3, even worsened by Godowsky.

But I really like "Kuniko plays Debussy"

If it doesn't work - try something different!

I find it disturbing, but I don't know why...maybe because I can't tell whether it's a guy or a girl :-X

I'm pretty sure it's a guy. The legs look a little too chunky. Maybe you should add that to the poll.

Let's settle the confusion.  I just found this doll's homepage.  He says he is a male.  And he says he is not homosexual.  He is married with a son.  He says he loves to dress like a doll, it is his fetish, and his motto is, "I want to wear pretty clothes."  We can add that to m1469's thread.

Now, that should relieve us. Or should it be even more disturbing...  ::)

I wish you had added the choice "perplexing" to your poll.

That was my reaction.

LOL!  Love it.  Reminds me, too, of Baby Jane Hudson -- on acid.

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.
