the big p. trying to show us a "different" conception of this music. Somewhat metronomic....Fabulously gifted pianist....Lousy interpretation....S... happens.JG
Please, don't. You'll learn it, master it, play it a couple of times, and then throw it away because it is way overplayed (just what happened to me).
Yeah it seems that it is overplayed. But is it really? Can anybody of those people who "overplay it" play it really well? I doubt it. We are fed up with it, not because it is overplayed, but because everybody and their dog stumbles clumsily around in the first few bars of it.
I don't get that post at all. Who is the "big p."?
Why would how often someone plays a piece have anything to do with what other people do? I like chocolate pudding. The fact that millions of people eat chocolate pudding doesn't make me want to never eat it again. I learned it when I was young because it happened to be part of the music somebody passed on to me. Anything that didn't have lots of sharps or flats was fair game. It sounded nice. I had no idea that lots of peopled played it until I came to forums. If I had, it would not have mattered. I played it on for a few years. When I lost the piano and my parents got me a guitar, I played it on classical guitar --- on and off for decades.
Suppose you have chocolate pudding for desert every day of every month of every year. After, let's say one year, would you still like to eat chocolate pudding? You would surely stop liking it, because you have eaten it every day of the last year. The same happens with this piece. At first you like it, until you start listening to it everywhere and begin to hate it.
Your chocolate pudding every day of the year makes some sense. Although I've been eating the same sandwiches for lunch for years and years and still not bored with it, and as a kid we would have the same dessert on most weekdays, with a little variation. But it makes some sense.However, can you explain why someone would come to hate chocolate pudding if other people start to eat it every day? I don't necessarily need to watch them eat it.I've been playing for almost a year now, maybe that's to short to start hating a piece, and although I play it less now, I still love to play around with the first part of für elise.
What I want to ask is... My friends who study in different place with me already played it when they're grade 1 or 2. But when I asked to my teacher can she teach me to play that, she said that I'm not ready for it, I better work on my currently learning pieces right now.
