Actually, it seems that you and others can't accept that I don't like Horowitz or Gould.  I never attacked anyone but I have been on the receiving end of all of these attacks by you and others.  I provided specific reasons why I don't like these pianists.  All everyone else says is how great and "genius" they were.

You could have simply stated from the very beginning that for you, the composer's score is sacred and that both Horowitz and Gould tend to go against it. No need to call some of the greatest pianists of the 20th Century "non-musicians" and "rapists" and then complain that people don't understand your word choice and "attack" you. People simply don't understand that coming from you in the light of all your other, more emotionally balanced, posts on this forum.

Although i don't understand most of the time what exactly those two pianists are trying to say in the music they play, I understand that they are in the list of the Greatest for a reason, and I respect that, as do most other posters in this unfortunate thread.
No amount of how-to information is going to work if you have the wrong mindset, the wrong guiding philosophies. Avoid losers like the plague, and gather with and learn from winners only.
