This is the definition of "douchebag". Someone should troll him.

Huh huh, huh huh huh. Huh huh.

'Pianist'.

Oh fucking retarded bullshit. The F# major prestissimo section that ends #2 is not that difficult, and was much easier (for me) than many other parts, which I never mastered (especially some of the cadenzas).

Playing it requires a bit of a different mindset but nothing extraordinary; the hands play the same chords (occasionally a note dropped in one hand), offset by 1/16 in time and an octave.

I like the 2nd one because it has some variations (by Liszt) that I would like to try if I ever start playing piano again. If I had a real piano rather than this Yamaha S80, I'd print it out now and try to start playing again.

This man is a huge pianist.

People from around the internet should upload themselves playing this piece, so that he may be properly shamed for his retardery.

Speaking of faking, nice mohawk, douchefag.

Um, wow...I think someone should get in touch with Vladimir Horowitz' family. I mean, this guy is essentially slandering one of the greatest, most respected pianists in the world on a VERY public forum. That takes not so much balls as it does a huge quotient of douchebaggery such as the universe should not have to contain.

I am not sure if I can say "fuck you" loudly and angrily enough, so I will just let Murray Perahia do it.

This guy deletes his Youtube comments pretty quick. All I wrote was "congradulations on reaching 21 Youtube subscribers."

sounds like there is a mistake at :10

I think this is one of those guys who is very gay but cannot admit that he is gay. I mean look at that outfit. No straight man could come up with that.

The Iggy Pop of crotch licking.

So awesome. A little further digging on youtube will uncover tons more insanity, including an obsessive, profane, racist supporter who is either a sockpuppet or another cranky, obscure pianist. Having worked in a classical music store through most of college, I can confidently assure you that this kind of stuff is not unusual at all among classical performers and fans.

I want to be mad at what he said, but the real "say wha" for me is at the beginning. Ever seen someone play serious piano? Most of these men and women are too classy to go out dressed in anything less than a tuxedo or evening gown.

But here we have Douchey McShades playing the Goofus to their Gallant. He does not understand how mind-blowingly trashy it is for someone to follow a piece of music with a THUMBS UP. Fair enough. But then he PUTS ON SUNGLASSES ON STAGE.

I realize that it's wrong to kill people over such things, but it would be nice if someone could at least make it so that he can't produce offspring.

He's a little old to be in a boy band.

huh? I five starred this on expert ages ago, deushe!

He's deleted some five or so comments over the night but didn't seem to realize this post's sarcasm:

"can i hear kastle playing Ligeti's Devil's Staircase? i think he's the best pianist to ever be born, and has a technique better than horowitz and cziffra.




pretty please? "

So he kept that.

From a comment that he left on his own video:

"SOMEONE HAS STOLEN MY IDENTITY"

man fuck this guy

the gist: I FIND IT HARD TO DO; THEREFORE IT MUST BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR OTHERS.
