Well that's just wrong.

Hi, I have not been a piano much very but am a prodigy who is interested to very much playing the Ab song from Bach's wonderful Well-Tempered Clavier Book 2.

What, in your opinion, are the, as you admit, very much difficult, like a song, various qualities as to how much I should learn.

Should I learn the tempo first, and then the notes fast together?
Which of the records are the most noteworthy?
Master players who know how, can you please link me to your records?
How did I know if I play it right?
What if teacher does not approve and makes me do a different?

Stop learning and become learning.

Play fast and slow at the same time simultaneously.

Which of the records are the most noteworthy?
Your own of course there is no better.

Master players who know how, can you please link me to your records?
You need to buy some more mirrors!!!

How did I know if I play it right?
Simply ask yourself.

What if teacher does not approve and makes me do a different?
You tell them to go back to lessons with you so they can learn to teach correctly.

Yes, but I am also a prodigy because of how my teacher said it was good, and so I want to know how it is that I can play even better and also start to do concerts.

Is it bad to do concerts if you're a prodigy, even if your teacher says it's OK?

And if it's OK, which pieces should I perform out of Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Liszt and others?

I know this question has been asked a lot, sorry, but I just want to know because my teacher says it's OK.

Yes but since I already am playing grade 10+, should I start teaching my lessons now, or make more money as a concert pianist?

Also, can I make a concert even though I don't like Bach and others than romantic pieces on the piano such as classical and singing music?

Don't bother about money just start a gofundme and people will pay you so you can push the limits of what is possible on the piano. Grade 10?! BAH!!! You soon will be beyond grade levels and create your own whole level which only you and a few other prodigies and maybe some savants will be able to manage leaving every other lesser mortal utterly amazed! It will also sound so good that it will intoxicate a large volume of people who will try to play it but will never achieve it. Once that occurs then you may start your teaching business and offer false hope for those pathetic creatures! Think billions of $!!


Also, can I make a concert even though I don't like Bach and others than romantic pieces on the piano such as classical and singing music?
You are thinking far too small for a prodigy, you need to ensure that you can change the national anthem of all countries to something you have composed. It will not be difficult to encourage them since your skills are beyond belief! You need to embrace songs, pieces are a dying fashion.

But I am having difficulty because to be teaching can one hold the certificate and also perform as a concert pianist at the same time?

Also, how do I get students?  And also about how bad my rhythm and ear training is.  I think there is an app for that but I have not seemed to find that midiator is good for my needs.

And should I learn baroque and classical before my giving concerts?  I'm already grade 10+ playing romantic repertoire, including Alkan and Chopin and others of the romantic composers, so I am not afraid but I have only ten challenge on my finger every day.

But observe what appears to be a caftan or a monk's cowl worn by the specimen.

That's definitely the thing to wear when performing ritual human sacrifice.

Why did you take a picture without my permission of my personal companion which is also holding a cup of coffee?

I don't like the classical music but do you think I can still play a concert just playing Chopin? 

Or do I have to learn classical and baroque first?

It is vital for  buy email database companies to identify how many times an individual needs to market before conducting a campaign or getting feedback.

My corporation leader or director asks me to have played a baroque and a classical, but even though I am grade ten to be playing Chopin and Rachmaninoff, do have please have suggestion that if Chopin or Rachmaninoff also wrote baroque and classical so that I can play for concerts as well as teaching piano, since I am at grade two but can play all of advanced romantic songs on piano.

Also, I have heard that playing the Schumann is not as much romantic as Chopin and Alkan, but should I play on his musics as well so that I can make a good score having during my concerts?
