Concerto rep for the solitary pianist

For those of you who will never have the chance to play with an orchestra and still love the concerto repertoire, how do you reconcile the urge to work through some of the best music written for the instrument while having to deal with the tragedy of having the result of such work languishing in one’s hands and brain for the rest of times?

Ok, maybe that sounded a bit too dramatic. But… I have never had a chance to play with orchestra and likely never will. I have no friends who play piano to work on concertos with them. I have started to toy with the idea of doing some fancy video edit work with me myself doing both parts on a piano and superimposing them. Some concerti I guess are more amenable to that exercise than others but in any case, it may fun to try some stuff like that, I have seen some YouTube folks tackling concerti that way.

If folks here have opinions, reading them may make my afternoon more interesting.

Whoa, that’s really cool! A little bit more blowing than what I had in mind to go through, but really cool.

Also it’s totally coloristically inadequate, no matter how good the performers.

it LOOKS like it’s an invitation for “hey, why is this not done with orchestra, this dude’s a noob”

unlike Poon or Dong.

imagine making so many faces that the orchestra can’t even follow you?

yeah the arts are a mockery at this point. she looks great tho. That’s a rare payout even for those who bribe Kaplinksi in the millions, not everyone can be a Dong.
