I practice 3 hours at the least, the most I've ever practiced was 6 hours. I don't like to put my hands through anything that hurts so I usually do not try to do more than 4 hrs with 10 minute break at the end of each hour, and if I take a lunch break (20 mins) I feel even better and get to play longer.

What's your greatest accomplishment?

Learning that Bach prelude and fugue.  I'll never be able to accomplish something as difficult as that again.  It still sounds like Liszt trying to play Scriabin, but a Bach p&f is still a Bach P&F.

[patrickd]

A: No

Q: Favorite sonata composed in the 20th century?

[davidjosepha]

A: You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

You kinda ruined what I thought would be a pretty interesting question there. Oh well.

Pieces I have played, or pieces I am currently able to play? For pieces I currently am able to play, basically the things I'm working on (see signature) as well as the second movement from Grieg's sonata, and Brahms' two rhapsodies, op. 79. I don't really keep up with pieces that much after I'm finished with them, although I'm working on changing that.
