It is how you play them, not wich pieces you have played that counts.

Lol, hanon backwards? I play them without even touch the piano! I just look at the piano with my very virituostic eyes, and the piano start playing Hanon. I also played Chopin's second piano concerto at the age of -3.

I play all pieces in the world very well, and to perfection.
What can I do to improve?

can you play op.25/11 in octaves?, if you cant do that, well, then your pretty average...

besides, i can play all 10,000 of czerny's pieces in every key. with my eyes closed, and that was just my technical training, i then graduated from every music academy in the world and now i am composing my 63832nd sonata, nearly finished.

What? Do you say there's people who DOESN'T play that eutde in octaves?!
I play it like a canon, in 11 voices. I can only reach 6˝ oct. between 4th and 5th finger, so it's quite difficult after a while :(
So you also compose your own pieces? I just finished my Etude op 200 000 000 nr 200 000. It's a small group of etudes, which all has got atleast 6 voices. and should be played in 400 bpm. :)

 :o surley by now you have completley worn out your fingers so much that bone can now be seen from your fingertips.

still not as good as liszt imo.. theres something missing..

I am posting on thalbergmad's behalf (he's too modest). I heard he once played the Godowsky studies on a banjo with his teeth.  :o
