Does it really count if the information is freely available and "google-able" within 4 to 5 seconds..

That depends on whether I'm acting for the prosecution or the defence.

You can prosecute.

I feel that you have no case, not only on the grounds that the information was publicly available to begin with, but also that it in no way provides a direct contact to the 'victim' - nor would a manager of that nature ever give out a direct contact to an artist.

..Unless they planned to end up having you targeting them instead of me.

Also, wouldnt lisitsa have to file a complaint against rach for him to be legally considered a stalker anyway. And since that hasnt happened (i'll assume it hasnt :/) then how could I possible have broken any law by providing free and public information.

A crime is commited irrespective of whether there is a victim complaint or not. The discretion to prosecute may be influenced by this, either out of consideration for the victim or because of evidentiary concerns, but a prosecution is not impeded at law.

That the information could have been obtained by alternate means does not mean that your provision of it did not aid and abet. For example, if I put you in contact with a hitman, my guilt is not lessened because you also knew other people who could put you in contact with that or other hitmen.

Since the object of the contact with the intermediaries you identify would be for the purpose of arranging a situation of close physical proximity, I would argue that it is in the more serious categories of the offence.

Start googling "cake with file in it" recipes.  ;D

Would you use that argument in a court room? ...

If you put someone in contact with a hit-man, you are aware of the intent to cause harm. Hit-men kill people.

Are you suggesting that being a big fan of an musical artist constitutes intent to cause harm? or that being a fan means that you should be legally barred from booking a musician for a private event..

What's the crime here..?

What part of rach's behaviour here suggests that he's an actual stalker..? given that he displays the same kind of affection toward dead male composers (rach/scriabin). ...(maybe not a good argument for his sanity)..

EDIT:
I'm just a little unsure how you can place anyone on trial without identifying that a crime has been committed, or at least that intent to commit a crime exists..

Maybe you should get out more (thought perhaps not to a Lisitisa concert)...

Best,

Alistair

Get out more?  I'm outside every day!

I would love to go to a Lisitsa concert!  Depending on the program...  I was really upset when people voted for the program she was gonna play.  They picked Moonlight over Appassionata and Hammerklavier?!  What the freaking heck?!  They picked four extra small Rach preludes over Rach sonata?!  Come on!!!  And I don't like how she has the screen above the stage that shows her hands.  It's VERY distracting...

Hardly likely, I'd have thought.

Incidentally, my advice for the week is not to just play the stuff you've been working on, but read through as much as you can in addition.

Given the state of your book, you may mean "whatever page lands on me".

Otherwise, great idea, but don't just do that page, do the whole P&F it comes from.

It'll probably happen pretty often. 20 of the 48 fugues have 4 or 5 voices.

Just curious about what's everyone's belief system here.  Because I like you guys and want to know more about you.

I'm a worshipper of Bach

No doubt he'll help you.  ;)

Just saying... I will see her live in a week.

Though, I'm not a fan. She can play fast, but there are many pianists who can. And she plays everything in exactly the same way. It becomes a bit... pointless. Rachmaninov shouldn't sound the same as Mozart.

Her fans are not the typical classical music fans.  She's drawing fans who do not otherwise listen to classical music, rather than people who are already fans of the world's top pianists.

She's a relatively ordinary pianist, not without some talent (especially in the direction of self-publicity) but decidedly without the kind of staying power and engaging qualities in her performances that might otherwise make me want to be bothered with much of what she does - so, no, I'm NOT "in love (deeply or otherwise) with Valentina Lisitsa"; sorry if that upsets people here who seem to be besotted with her for some reasons that, in many cases, I suspect to have scant connection with the way that she plays the piano...

That seems to be a big part of it, but I don't even find her good looking at all...there are quite a few female pianists much more attractive than her, and with more talent too!

I don't think she's very good at playing anything in classical era or earlier.  With the exception of Beethoven of course!

I agree with you regarding her looks.  She has played a lot of popular repertoire.  This makes it easier to draw a huge number of audience, even if the playing might not be at the level of the world's top pianists.

I can't help but wonder whether she would be as popular as she is today if she has been playing Bach and some of the less famous Beethoven Sonatas.

I wonder what affects her current quality of life more - The approval and acceptance she gets, or the disapproval and disinterest?  I don't know her, but something tells me she's probably not regretting her current path too much.

It was pretty casual..

Interviewer:  So, we've seen your chopin etude videos, bla bla awesome bla, do you think you'll release any other complete sets

Valentina:  Well I do like beethoven, but its a bit task doing all the sonatas.

Interviewr: I've seen your appassionata, it was magnifitastic.

Valentina: Dude, thats ONE sonata. There's 32. Do the math...   I would really like to do it though.

If my memory is right..

She'd previously been talking about how she had to have an isoloated section in her house for practice, sound proofed. And that when her husband went to bed she would stay up to anywhere between 3 and 6 am for months on end practicing to prepare 24 etudes.

..which are shorter than sonatas. *angry face - pay attention interviewer.

I read this the first time thinking that this was J Menz.  So I was like, 'okay'.  Then I scrolled down to the bottom and I saw that J Menz replied to it!  So I thought he was just joking or something.  But...  I scrolled up just in case.  And the person who I'm replying to is Ajs what the heck?!?!?!?!?!!?
