@lewislevits1193literally 0 people asked

[@elainemeyer5062]

@lewislevits1193 Yes, you ask - NO is my answer 👎! IDK WHAT you’re talking about - or IF YOU actually play the 🎹 yourself? Lang Lang studied at Curtis, which is even considered to be above the Juilliard School of Music. Also, he was influenced by many others like Gould, Barenboim, Goldberg (for his Bach interpretations), etc. *** I was a classical pianist for more than 1/2 century myself and played THIS piece too in my younger years - although nowhere nearly as well as he does! Composers WRITE the music notes on paper 📝 , but it’s the musicians who actually PLAYS them in their OWN unique style - and imo that’s how it should be, and how I was taught!

I often hear talented trained musicians passing time amusing passengers at this busy station. Then a world renowned classical pianist drops by… it’s like night and day.

@@kellydreamy5036 . The covid period didn't help, and she passed her G8 after her "3rd" attempt. She began playing the piano at age 5 and reached G7 at 14. She eventually passed G8 at age 16 & flatly refused to take her diploma with abrsm. When she goes to uni this yr, I'm hoping she'll play in a quartet or trio in her spare time. But with her A levels looming, playing the piano now is not her priority. How long did you play the piano before passing your highest grade?
