Aug 6, 2009 - I think she is comfortable. She is very Japanese and her culture shows.

Jan 22, 2010 - you're so lucky to have went to school with this genuis!
zebb1111 Says:
Jan 22, 2010 - thats why your not him. he can do both so why not? besides, who would play his pieces?
KeithWhalen11 Says:
Jan 24, 2010 - I think there's more than my opinion that separates Marc and myself but I do think that he could be a prolific composer if he did less concerts. I understand that he can do both and in fact does both, but you would agree that preparing for these pieces would take a good amount of time away from his composing. He writes smaller pieces for now but I'd love to see his mind at work in a piano concerto or something, wouldn't you?
zebb1111 Says:
Jan 24, 2010 - I remember at music school, all the pianists of limitred ability hated liszt. those of us who could play him loved him.there is nothing more irritating to salieri types then genius. yet genius is a gift to humanity from God. plus this man works very hard to sound like that. maybe he should screw up a little so that its more musical? what nonsense. practice!!!
zebb1111 Says:
Jan 24, 2010 - never heard a good piano concerto written by a non pianist. rachmaninoff, Liszt, prokofief, Ravel. some of them claimed not to be pianists but i just heard Ravel playing some of his pieces, and I hear a flawless technicien. the problem is, there is a lot more money being the only pianist who can execute certain modern works then there is in composing those works.
