ok, i have listened to some of your vids, and guess what? i got a couple of things to tell you. i know that some people would disagree with me, but that is really besides the point. all i wanna do is to tell you what i need to tell you:

1. you are extremely talented and very original.
2. you need(ed) really solid training to accommodate your intense artistry.
3. be humble
4. keep working hard

all the very best to you!

be enough smart to overcome your fear to be rejected by inferior minds because your point of view is independent.... they're absolutely useless.....

You're right - your videos are absolutely useless.

Maybe you can learn from this and start aiming for a higher level of playing, instead of pretending to be a smug little b@st@rd on these forums who thinks he knows everything!

Hello, i have seen some of you videos, and this is my take about it.
You seem to have a strong sense of interpretation.  I admire that, but you did have some trouble with playing the right notes in some places.  I would advise you to play the pieces really slowly with every note, perhaps it's a bit boring, but after you master it, you can go back playing the same you do in the videos, but you will be more confident in striking the notes.  I appreciate people who have a strong sense of musicality, but i think this type of playing needs to be backed up with playing all the right notes :) anyways, you are on your way for being a great Chopin interpreter. Keep it up :)

I have an enormous craving for Chopin's music, which is unusual for most normal and not normal people out there.

I doubt there's any point in offering false hope to someone who is so thoroughly deluded already.
