When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive.

Ok, so Yingdi has some problem in his playing, he is too stiff or something. He should take some jazz lessons and learn to swing. I guess with my background and musical interest I have a much finer sense for rhythm. There is just something wrong with it, I but I cannot really put my finger on it. It wasn't so bad in the concerto, but in the HR I heard it again. And now knowing he was the guy that played the sonata before Salvikov, I don't like his playing. His tone also was something that sounded harsh, but it might be my computer speakers. It sounded brittle.

Personally I had big problems with the way Salnikov interpreted the concerto.

So I guess Huyvenhoven second.

I bet Zuo Zhang will get the Henk de By Incentive Prize. Hope so, at any rate.

Heard a rumor as to who was getting the Press Prize...

I'm definitely staying up for the awards. Shouldn't be too much longer now!
