learning piano after 2.5 years

[anjs]

hi everyone
this in my first post!!
I'm 17 and I'm learning piano for almost 3 years. I've got my own ways of training. in these 3 years I've trained really hard and i feel pain every night after my training! I'm working hard these are the most difficult pieces that I've learned already (i have played them in a recital):
Rachmaninoff moment musical no.4 op.16
Chopin etudes op.10 no.1 & No.12
Beethoven pathetique 1st movement
Beethoven Moonlight sonata 1st and 3rd movement
and I'm learning these pieces right now:
Chopin ballade No.1
Liszt la Campanella
am I an advanced or amateur where you live (I don't now anything about piano levels)? is playing these pieces good after three years?is there any chances for being a concerto pianist?
my piano teacher is a piano professor and in my country he is the best teacher that i found here!
I've tried to upload a video but i because of my slow internet
(sorry for bad English!!)

Hi Anjs,

There should be uploaders that cope with breaks in the upload.  Without hearing a recording it is hard to say much about your playing, unfortunately.  Maybe you can try one of those uploaders?  Probably there is someone here who knows about such things and who can say something upon it.

Pain might not be a good thing depending on what is causing it.

Hello anjs,
I don't quite  understand when you say you have your own way of training,  and then you say you have a very good piano instructor who should be able to give you more guidance with your questions.
How many hours in the day do you practice, if you are experiencing pain then maybe you should split up the time you are practicing, such as maybe 2 hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon or evening.  It sounds like you are working very hard and making good progess and that's great.   Are working towards exams?  
I think that  Chopin ballade No.1  is maybe advanced for a 3rd year student , in fact I would say it is a grade 8 piece.  
I am sure some of the experts here will give  better advice than I can.

actually he always help me with some parts of pieces that its musically hard and he teaches me theory. I have my own training for improving my Technic and i think that it is better for me then other ways that anybody do.my training is like this: I start a difficult piece. then everywhere i cant I write an etude to solve the problem. my average training is about 10 hour in a day and after practicing I cant feel my fingers but after a day the pain is gone.
by the way I choose my next piece everytime i finish a piece!!
is the pieces that I've played already advanced? I want to know my level.

For some reason I don't believe that you play La Campanella after only 3 years

Why not?

10 hours a day!!! Don't you have homework? Don't you have to study other subjects? Or do you mean you practice 10 hours a day during weekend? If you are practicing 10 hours every day the last 3 years instead of all your school work, you'd better go all the way to become a concert pianist.

You are playing advanced repertoires. La Campanella is obviously advanced and any piano student would know so. But then, after hours and hours of practice, many people can play it. I have a friend who spent a year and performed it for a big audience. It doesn't mean you get paid and can make living.... so she decided to become a pharmacist.
