LOL thanks dc, I'm glad the interpretation is accurate 
accurate...? I thought that last arpeggio was me!! that was great. Even my husband laughed when he heard it---he said "yeah...that guy has heard you play for sure..." You know that's a unique skill to be able to play a piece in different styles... it seems easy enough--but you would be amazed at how many are unable to do that. It's the sign of a natural musician.

you really made my day with that!! I have been having a really bad time getting motivated to play today... now I want to play the Chopin... I have never played that one... but now I think I will.
some people say there's a lot of negativity here... and sometimes there is... but there is also something really great here... something I never had when I was a student... There was only your teacher, your friends, and your family available for feedback... and as you well know... the people around you get tired of hearing the piano after a while.... so all I would ever hear as a kid was "quit pounding on that damn piano!"
you guys though... all that information, all those live performances, interviews, books, recordings everything is just a click away... and to have a community of people to be supportive and genuinely happy for you when you play well... or not...it's wonderful... and before this internet era it was unheard of unless you were at music school--which is not the greatest place to search for validation...
I have to believe that is why all of you are so unbelievably advanced for such a relatively short time... you and Josh and AJ--geez. I love that you guys are so supportive of each other and that you love playing like you do. I am almost jealous...for lack of a better term...you guys have so much fun learning..
I just started teaching again last week after 3 years... you guys had something to do with that, too. Reading your posts and listening to you all play...really made me miss it. My debate with Josh over total fingering... lol.. that was the clincher... I called the studio and took the job right after that. It's great to be teaching again, too... I almost took a job as a casino dealer... yikes.

thanks Noah you are a good guy and a great player!
