If I have a student learning Gaspard or Islamey and they can’t figure out what’s harder for them to play then the music is too hard for them period. And if you’re actually at the level where you could play one of them you‘re most likely able to play both so it doesn’t matter. Just pick the one you like more.This who convo is a dick measuring contest about difficulty I’m convinced none of y’all actually like Islamey or Gaspard.
You are living in a little bubble of your own making and refuse to think outside your little box. Are we supposed to help you with that? You can remain there who cares really? You can keep telling students to solve everything themselves…
Are you calling Rachmaninoff superficial? Bach?
I read this much and stopped reading. Cause I never said they have to solve everything themselves. Nothing you’ve said afterwards is worth the effort
You said they should be able to solve the difficulty appraisal themselves, you are bringing a machete to surgery ignoring a number of issues which I brought up but which go over your head I don't care what you read or not, it's OK you won't understand it anyway, here's a tissue and some copium tablets.
I meannnn you obviously do care that’s why you wrote it
And yes if they’re good enough to play Scarbo they should be able to gauge the difficulty themselves. However you misquoted me in your previous comment. Which is why I didn’t read anything else.
Besides y’all weren’t even arguing from a pedagogy perspective y’all were just trying to out dick size eachother and when I called you out on it you immediately go oH wElL iM a TeAcHeR
LIW, would appreciate it if you could share your real name. I want to make sure that I never entrust one of my children into your care. You may well be a fantastic pianist and have mastered certain pedagogical techniques but your dismissive, belittling and generally discourteous interactions on this thread are “proof” that you are unfit as a teacher on a human level.
Let me start by apologizing.
Stupid, long, insulting post by incompetent user who's probably just someone's alt.
