It seems that you have a tendency to take things out of context and simplify in an attempt to make a point. Perhaps it's just not obvious to you, but you're reaching...
For example, you ending your post like this:
Um, who's bringing superficial to a new level now?
I could go on, but I don't want to stretch your attention span to too great lengths otherwise you'll get distracted and just start making mindless insults again.
clearly shows that you ran out of things to state. If you could go on, why not go on? It's not about MY attention span, it's about YOUR attention span.
You still haven't addressed why you took what I stated about cognitive processes out of context nor the advise issue.
How are my insults mindless? Every insult has been completely warranted; in other words, I've justified every insult. Should I re-quote the previous posts?
With respect to the actual conversation , at least make an attempt to be consistent.
...
Am I wasting time, or am I not? You can't have it both ways.
You claim I'm inconsistent, but this is a pretty big stretch.
Procrastination - To postpone or delay needlessly.
How can you claim that you're not procrastinating?
Your goal is to learn op. 10 no. 12, correct?
How is spending time on a forum not procrastinating? You claim to be "getting an overview", but what are you really doing (or not doing in this case)? You're NOT learning op. 10 no. 12. You might have only wrote 3 sentences (in other words you initially didn't procrastinate much), but what about the time spent coming back to this thread, reading the responses, and replying (like you are right now!).
Anyway, for me, getting an overview in the context of learning a piece would be reading through the piece (by reading, I mean sight reading and playing through) and analyzing the piece. You could perhaps make an argument for listening to recordings and watching a performance, but for me this is borderline procrastination.
If you don't think you're reaching and bullshitting here, you're delusional.
Was I asking that we address "all problems?"
No, but you were asking about all potential problems.
I'm not sure what it is, I guess you just have a tendency to look at music in a very confined, mathematical (not quite the right word, but can't think of the right one right now) manner, like there's a set grocery list of things I have to check off. Or at the very least, you are a proponent of rigid militant efficiency. Not exactly a very musical perspective.
First, I lol'd when I read, "rigid militant efficiency"; you definitely meant military (there's f**ktard within coming out again). I'm all about efficiency, but probably not "rigid military efficiency"; this is such a half-assed and weak attempt at insult.
Anyway, who is being presumptuous now? You do realize, you initially modeled the example I used; I just further clarified so there wouldn't be any ambiguity.
In your reply, you previously stated that the number of problems are not infinite and that you would only have a certain subset of all problems. Why not approach the problems you encounter when learning a piece and mentally make a list or problems you need to address much like a grocery list of things you need to check off? I personally do this. Claiming that this is not a musical perspective is reaching and superficial (you're not making any inferences).
This might be a characterization of you; maybe you're actually genuinely concerned about me and others wasting our time. But if you're concerned about your precious time, then why waste time responding?
I could care less about myself and others wasting time on these forums. I procrastinate all the time and I don't mind; however, I still get everything I need and want done.
It's been about 2 weeks, have you learned op. 10 no. 12 yet? Based on your responses and your approach I doubt you'll learn this in a reasonable time. Prove me wrong, but I'd bet you'd spends months on this etude and still suck at it.
