Good job now stop putting your titles in caps lock and making it sound like an ad. "14 YEAR OLD PLAYS..." is not how you start and audition room post.

Hi tinyking,

Good job. There are lots of good things about your playing. You have a really solid technique which is such a great thing to have at a young age. You're on your way!

I'm going to pass on criticizing your playing because I have a different issue. My big problem is that you seem to care more about yourself than the music you're playing. I care that you're a pianist playing the Tchaikovsky concerto well, I could not care less that you're 14 haha. You started piano at a very young age and have a good teacher that helped you develop a solid facility. It's not uncommon for young pianists to have virtuosic finger work. How about instead of advertising that you're a young pianist playing advanced repertoire you tell us things like: What does this piece of music mean to you? What qualities do you like about it most? Why did you choose to learn this concerto? What are your thoughts on Tchaikovsky as a composer and what things do you like most about him? What experiences, both good and bad, did you have while studying this? These are things people would LOVE to hear about, me included! There are two aspects to being a great musician, craftsmanship, and humanity.  Craftsmanship includes things like technique, phrasing, pedaling, dynamics, articulation, etc... You know all about it . Humanity consists of qualities such as humility, sincerity, creativity, naivety, a desire to grow and learn, love, and an openness to the world. You possess a lot of craftsmanship. I would just like to see you be a little more personal with all of us!

    Now, if you would like to go to all of my audition room posts and bash me as a pianist because I criticized you, please feel free! I won't be offended if you decide to take out any anger on me.

I truly hope you keep posting in the audition room! You have a lot of great qualities in your playing, however, if you keep treating this amazing music as a vessel to get you famous, I'll stop watching you completely... And I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for most of my friends here.

Sincerely wish you the best,

AJ

discounting you? 

[ajlongspiano]

Got that right

[pencilart3]

No I'd say I'm right in the middle.

No I'd say I'm right in the middle.

Where am I? I believe I'm at the 90th percentile (with 100 being the highest)

AJ's got it right. The fact that you titled this as "14 YEAR OLD TCHAIKOVSKY PIANO CONCERTO" shows to me that you're more concerned about advertising yourself than advertising what you're playing and why it's special.
Not bad playing, though.


Also, I'm just curious, where do I fall on said maturity meter? 

[ajlongspiano]

Pretty high up, I'd say. You're one of my favorite kids here. (I'm a kid too )

I LOVE your rep. I LOVE it. I wish other people had as good tastes as you

lol
the reason i put 14 year old is to get more views...
yeah, i dont think i'll do it anymore

[ajlongspiano]

Hey, it's understandable! I would have done the same thing if I could play the kind of repertoire you do at your age. So, what do you like most about the concerto?

That's a difficult question...
It's basically my favourite concerto after Rachmaninov rhapsody on a theme by paganini.
It's just such an awesome work...
The opening melody is one of my favourite melodies ever, doesn't everyone know that melody???
But the last movt is just so fun to play...
 
and the second movt is just beautiful...

[rubinsteinmad]

Ce qui était beau

[ajlongspiano]

The second movement is probably my favorite movement. It has so many colorful/experimental qualities. But experimental in a good way. Not " contemporary music experimental"  haha
