Hallo guys,

I wonder which members are the most advanced pianists? I would love to know that and to see their performences, youtube video or mp3.

Do we have members here who have at least the technique  that is comparable to that of average concert pianists?


Thanks in advance for your replies

Hugs

I think you're asking the wrong question.  What we want to know is who has the best aesthetic and/or technical judgement.  I hold a performance diploma, I have no interest in what any Tom, Dick or Harry have to say about my playing whatever their performance skill set.  What they know may be of interest to me but I don't read much of interest in that line here.

@ musicioso

There are people on here who are accomplished concert pianists already. My favorite:

Marik1 - Chopin Fantasy in f minor Op.49
Marik1 - Schubert Wanderer Fantasy in C Major
Marik1 - Schumann, Symphonic Etudes Op.13
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.

Not all serious pianists on this forum may be interested in posting their performances (and/or showing their reallife id), so maybe you should just try to judge wich reply is good and wich is not on their contents ;)

There are other threads like this with lists. Or check the audition board. 

There were some twins that stopped by years ago.
Robert Henry was here before my time. 


I think I may have even made a thread like this a long time ago.  I think most people in the forum are teens or amateur level.  I'd put my level as "hack."

I love Birba for his rare combination of piano playing mastery, wisdom and personal warmth and charm (plus a sense of humility rare to find these days ).

"Monkey" and "jock" would also be categories, in addition to "hack."

We have members that are concert pianists. Especially if you dig back a few years and spot those that are no longer heavily active:

Eg. https://roberthenry.org/ - username is robert_henry

There are of course also outstanding performers that haven't given any evidence of a regular performance schedule, but whom I really wouldn't doubt are capable of doing so.

Other above mentioned names are all great pianists, and there are numerous members that can perform at a very advanced level but are perhaps not as well rounded yet, or haven't built enough repertoire to be able to perform multiple solo recitals without getting bored. Those of us who can play say 20-50 advanced works well are good pianists, our performances may even at times be comparable to really top pianists but its not the same as a concert pianist who may have a repertoire that's 500 works strong and can prepare a substantial work for performance at short notice.

Birba and August Antonov.
But this is not usefull for us. Most useful is the contribute given by piano forum members to the other members and, in this sense, Thal and the unforgettable Bernhard...
