I would like to know if you are really serious in everything you expound.  Or is this a Holloween trick-or-treat?  You talk about arrogant people and teachers who insist on the "wrong" interpretation.  I think YOU are about one of the most arrogant people I have ever come across in my life.  Because you seem to believe that what you teach is the ONLY way.  I, personally, have never heard anyone play the intro like you say they do.  Except maybe a beginner who is playing his first Chopin.  But, like I say, I don't know whether you are trying to pull our leg or are really serious about what you are doing.

If you turn off the sound, it becomes "How NOT to play" ... full stop.

Oh, anafressari has made my day If I played Chopin Nocturnes like him, surely I will be killed by someone... But I think he was jocking with us. And his face, his voice... some moisture of wine with music? I dont know...

I know.  I can't but help thinking the same thing!
