i think i am the best pianist ever. I have only been taking lessons for 3 years and i can already play the 1st movement of the Moonlight sonata. Beat that key pushers.

Vladimir Horowitz played Rachmaninoff`s 3rd Piano Concerto for his graduation recital at 17 years old.

I am awfully sorry to say that i played "moonlight" sonata(1st mov.) after..wait.....3 months!!!!(not yers)
and then i played Chopins` "Minute Watlz" a month later!!!(that`s grade 8!) To know how it sounds like then take a look in music-scores.com (in piano pieces of chopin)
So if you`re the greates player ever then i am??
Before u say (mayby) i`m kidding you i`ll say i am dame right sirious about it!!!(but i didn`t start a topic to boast about it... though i believe a lot of people have done just like me)

Oh! i forgot i played Moonlight sonata after 3 months of playing the piano but with out a teacher or lesson!(only the knowledge of written notes (i did "solfège") ie the kowledge of middle C up to hight C to low c (but to play with the F key i had to count, if u undertand me!)i knew were all these notes were on the piano just had to count

The guys clearly havin a joke...

Man...People have more important things to post. Don`t waste space, thread-starter!

That`s dumb. I play Moonlight Sonata when I was 5. (The whole, original piece)

Nobody is the "best", you have to understand music is music you dont play to be the best or to show off, you play for the love of music and to bring the joy of music to others.

Well, in competitions the only goal is to be the best. :P

R u sukers think i`m a liar!!!! sorry but English gents don`t lie!!! For one what would i gane out of it?! the waste of space is all of your silly mesbelieves!!!!
Anyway I`m not writing to proove it to you(i have prooven it too myself so that`s more improtant) i was just pointing it out that`s all!!
I aen`t saying i`m the best far from that!!!I still have rytm problems like ever one else though i seem to have a bit of an advanst figering...
I play music for the sake of play emotional music(that`s why i choose difficult music coz there usually more emotionnal!and i manage ..more or less) NOT to be the best or to show off ,i have never done that so...

I can play Liszt`s Hungarian Rhapsody no.6. Its a high level!!!

That`s nothing to do with the subject.....

Moonlight 1st movement is not diificult to play...I have adult students who can play it after 3 yrs also...( that is if they practiced real hard)...It`ll be quite attainable if u`ve big hands for the octaves in the first movement and if u can feel the music. But the real challenge is in the 3rd movement. Maybe u can post again when u`ve completed yr third movement in `full` speed.
I`m not trying to be mean. But seriously speaking, I`ve been playing for 24 yrs...And I don`t even consider myself good.

He`s right. I learned very quick the first movement. Even the second movement. But when I started learning the third movement, I had a lot of problems. The first one is nothing compared to the last one.

This is all so incouraging!!!
