can you tell us a little bit your background?
I found your posts very instructive, almost as good as Bernhard

[xvimbi]

There is really not much to say. I'm an amateur who likes to look into things. Interestingly, it was only through exposure to this forum that I have begun to really think about certain aspects in detail (before, I had just 'messed around' it seems). Therefore, it was mostly Bernhard's posts and CC's book that prompted me to do so. I am glad you find my posts useful, almost as 'good' as Bernhard's, and there is a reason: over time, my own experiences and realizations have matched almost exactly what Bernhard and CC were saying all along (this is not meant to diminish the contributions of various other people, and there are a lot.) I prefer to ponder about the very basic aspects of piano playing. IMO, those are the most important, and if done right, they have the greatest impact. I experience this on a daily basis as I go along and refine (well, work on) my skills. I might therefore change my opinion on things and start to spread different gospel Nah, not likely

I second this one

You take the time to make usefull comments that have helped me (together with many other people's comments) already a lot.
I also find that you have a good sense of humor.

I will second this too !

(Besides he saves me a lot of time providing excellent answers to queries that I feel exhausted only of thinking about how to answer! )
