Honestly, why do people care so much about who's technique is the fastest. It's sort of counter productive  because that is not what music is about.

Richard Kastle

That's almost not even funny... I so hope that guy dies a painful, painful death for slandering the good reputation of the other pianists who he claims cheated, because they earned out reputation through their music - Richard Kastle still has to prove he can play more than 3 frickin' pieces that aren't his own monstrous, inaudible creations.

Me. It's true I can't play remarkably _fast_ octaves but they sound beautiful!
