Stop digging yourself in the hole!!!

Is it even possible to dig your way into a black hole?

I read it as if he was suggesting you were digging yourself, while in a hole. And no, I don't think its possible.

For someone asking for the help of others, you're really treating the people giving you suggestions like sh*t. Be grateful, and stop acting like you're entitled to everything.

The evidence says you're not quite as advanced as you think you are, and people's suggestions are right on- you may not see it that way, but that's what the reality is. Yes, the idea of playing fantasie impromptu when you're playing la campanella (which, based on the other thread you created, you have not finished or perfected, so it isn't in your program yet) is just not very aware, but some suggestions will be like that.

Try some chopin etudes, like winter wind, ocean, thirds, chromatic.

I played Fantasie Impromptu a very long time ago.
