Intro: Dapianokid

[dapianokid]

Well, I looked everywhere and I could not find an introduction forum. So I did my best to find a good place to introduce myself.

Hello! My name is well, to be announced haha. I am Dapianokid. Call me DK. I have been playing piano for four years and am at an exceptionally higher level than four years. My favorite composers are in greatest to least order are Sergie Rachmaninoff, Franz Liszt, and Frederic Chopin. I am learning Chopin's first ballade in G minor, and Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op. 23 No. 5. But most of my focus is Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 with cadenza by Marc Andre Hamelin which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBygW-3ffOY&feature=related
My best piece is Sergie Rachmaninoff Prelude C#m Op.3 No.2. I have been told by many people that I play it better Emil Giles.  (Basically that means if you had heard me without seeing me, you would never have known I am not professional. )
But what is more important is that piano is basically my life.
Feel free to ask questions. I am open to them and don't wnat to make the post so long and have nobody notice me.

That's nice.

The "Intro" thread is in the Anything but piano forum.

[dapianokid]

Well thanks. But, uh... Haha. That's nice. Charming. Well, I am here now and might as well stay. I found basically my life's study hall.

Hello! My name is well

Hello Well, how are you??

[dapianokid]

Haha. Well, I am ok. I really do study piano all the time... I am listening to HR2.
There is nothing better than that piece performed perfectly by Hamelin...

[thalbergmad]

I really do study piano all the time

Not at this exact moment though.

[dapianokid]

Yes at that moment. Most likely B/C that was about five minutes ago. At this time, I am still listening.

My best piece is Sergie Rachmaninoff Prelude C#m Op.3 No.2. I have been told by many people that I play it better Emil Giles.  (Basically that means if you had heard me without seeing me, you would never have known I am not professional. )

OK, I will be gentle as you are only 12

This might well be true, but perhaps a little modesty until we have heard you would be in order.

We need more youngsters in this place. I find the enthusiasm refreshing.

[dapianokid]

Of course. I am twelve, yet I am proud. I will not tell you why until my third set of recordings has been made in early january. (So yeah, modesty just flew out the window.) I am glad to be warmly accepted. I cannot wait to show you guys.

Oh, and haha. Go ahead. State opinions. I am used to it. Being gentle is nice, but I don't want a false statement.  Here, Two years ago.

[thalbergmad]

And I cannot wait to hear.

Welcome to this forum!

Also, it won't last too long before jakev2.0 comes into this thread and tells you that Hamelin has a bad technique.

This is starting to reek of something I see too often.

I haven't heard your recent performances, but I think you would benefit from playing some easier pieces to build a solid foundation for your technique. Do you play any Bach, for instance?

[dapianokid]

Well, I had learned a minuet of his, at least one, maybe more. I tried a Chopin ballade. I quit after a while.

But, I do see your point. I am a very stubborn child. I refuse to be taught. (Cue everyone making a huge deal about that and to embrace being taught.)
