It's, very probably, over-practicing.
Thanks for your kind response and advice. I'll think about it.

I am looking for a good hand physical therapist in Philadelphia area.
Any info would be highly appreciated as well as shared personal experience.
I think, it's overuse case (pain is already for 6 days).
Thanks in advance.

My immediate opinion aboout Verison hall was that for piano it's not good at all. Now I see that it's not only my opinion and not only about piano...

>2) When playing, don't do anything that hurts. If you're playing and it hurts you're doing something wrong. And if a teacher tells you to coninue doing something that hurts, find another teacher.<

Why? Can you tell about it a little bit more? - Thanks.

Happy Birthday Kevin!
You can find a LOT on youtube.com. As for "Shine", I was not much impressed, maybe because someone told me that it is SO good:).
My love with classical music started from Rach 3.

>--No major controversy :). No many pianists from Europe and USA... Lim Dong Hyek (South Korea) lives in Russia for a long time:). Only one winner, Benjamin Moser, is not from Russia! Strange, isn't it? The total list of the pianists-participants is also not very International. Interestingly also th...

I even do not want to go deeper in it!!!!! Here is the reference and abstract on paper published in 2004. It's just an example, that came first when I did search.And it's a clear indication that Rie Takahashi and Jeffrey Miller are just doing noise about it. It's like in music or art business, one h...

"Reading the article would have helped. The purpose of the study is not to produce music for music's sake but to produce a means of rapidly detecting anomalies in DNA which could be useful in isolating errors in the code." I am quite sceptic about this. Of course, if they'll develop something helpfu...

The idea was in the air. What was necessary... is to get funding for this project, which is, probably, easier in Japan.

Capital Letters were not mine:). I've just copied someone's review from amazon.com. I also think that it's a little too much to use capital letters

Have a great day! I've better start working:).

Sure, ChalkpersonJ. I am her fan, which means that any negative comment like yours is negative comment to my music taste. And, for sure, I’ll always spend my $80 to attend her performances. I am wondering where is you such an aggression comes from? Everybody has the right to express the opinion, but...

Dear Lance, It's stated well because it coincides with your opinion:). I desagree. Strongly. I am not alone with my "untrained ear" :).

Three of them are good. I mean great. They all have stunning technical and musical abilities. And it's just a matter of taste. Someone likes technical perfection, someone likes drama, someone listen with closed eyes, someone needs to watch, someone prefer male performance over female. Whatever. One ...

Hmm...this is surprizing! I wonder what you would write here about Pompa-Baldi if he got that prize:). You forgot to discuss Yudenich. Why?

''I feel myself the happiest man in the world''.... it's great that he could say so. He'll be remembered forever. Not only for the music but also as great person!

petrof

Yep. not everything by LL is so bad. He can play. Sometimes. Not Chopin.
And I like that he is not so boring as Kissin.

petrof

Hmm....I've listened Lang Lang performing Chopin. Auch! Poor Chopin.

Still interesting how LL got to such a top. From some newspaper article I know he had very poor life in China.

Oxana Yablonskaya is an amazing performer of Chopin.

Dear Sergey, You was our favorite and I was shocked by the results. And I also was kinda surprized when Korobeinikov was not elected for the next round. And I also liked Taverna..

KARL-HEINZ KÄMMERLING is smartest of the smartest (he was one of 13 and did it!). Ice skating competitions take a rest here.
I am really sorry for many of brilliant pianists who became a victim of this game and other games. They should understand that this is just a GAME and take it easy.

I am watching this competition, not everything, unfortunately. I like thoughtful and intelligent performance of Andrey KOROBEYNIKOV, but, unfortunately he was not selected for the next round.

Karl, I've had a look at your website. Impressive, very impressive. It's a pity I can't listen to your compositions! And also I loved artworks - say hi to the artist.
Cheers!

Wow! with Spivakov. Sounds great!

I love how she performs Rachmaninov works. In particular, Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3, my favorite. She is fantastic. Here is some critical acclaims for Olga Kern: “Kern's musicality radiates off the stage and saturates the hall, and it is joyously alive, immediately communicative, fragrantl...
