Guys,
We have to all come to the understanding that two experienced/accomplished teachers and pianists such as yourselves are going to have different viewpoints about a wide range of things. All that we can do to preserve some measure of friendliness here is to learn to respect those viewpoints. It's fine to respectfully question others' ideas, but not to dismiss them as pointless and attempt to discredit the other. I would feel comfortable asking either one of you how to finger a C# Minor arpeggio, and would simply choose the one that worked the best for me. Who knows, I might have chosen keyboardclasses "f'ed up" fingering. Obviously he has a reason for using that fingering!
Many of us here, not including me, are very accomplished. That also makes many of us strong willed, and it is easy to get in fights with others. Chppin and Liszt both had different ideas about how things were to be played, and the best of friends soon became the worst of enemies, if my historical facts remain correct.
I haven't read the previous thread to which you are both referring, although i'm sure both of you could have handled it better. Offering an alternative solution to his fingering, and saying "have your student try this, it works for me" is a much better and EFFECTIVE way of transmitting your point. Simply arguing is not.
I like both of you guys (from what I have read) and have found both of you extremely helpful. I would be crushed if one of you stopped giving advice because one person didn't like it. The reader can choose which advice to take, simple as that.
Anyway, I have rambled. This is a friendly place! Can we accept that these disagreements are going to pop up and handle them like gentlemen?
Thanks!
Spencer
