korean music education is so fucked up, i hate to play into the stereotypes butā¦
i do wish there would be some creative genius coming out of here, but they wouldnāt get very far in the āsystemāā¦ maybe there are some really awesome players iām just not aware of tho
I guess those most talented Asian music students are all in the US or Europe now? At least half of the students at our local music school (in US) are East Asian.

I did not apply as a minority. Da year dat I got da sponsorship - was da first year dat dey opened up to graduate students.
Recruitment is done directly through institutions, so ma school sent out a mass email n I applied wiz sum of ma sheeyat recs.
But tru, Iām a minority at ma school.
And NO, I did not list myself as a TRANNY in da application

There are tons and tons of musically talented people here, Iām complaining mostly about the music education system with its focus on prizes and accuracy and so on (like I said, not that I want to reinforce a racist stereotype, itās true of the whole education system here, not only music)ā¦
A lot of people who probably COULD have been really unique creative musicians are just taught to pursue different values in playing music, and itās a total waste of talent. The ones who escape to Europe or US schools (i.e. are at the top here when theyāre young) already have that psychology in place when they enter school overseas, I thinkā¦

Tianxu at the Tchai last summer illustrated this well I thought. He was very impressive, not only technically, but the human perspective was entirely missing.
Heās not the first pianist where Iāve thought about this. It doesnāt matter how talented you are and how much energy you put in if the goals you work towards are off from the outset.

tru the big problem is the missing emotion. They donāt communicate any. Maybe thatāll turn into a positive in our age of hyperzen (ya u know), but ztill fo now itās not dat
Yes or art. If you think about Plet/Grieg recently for instanceā¦ is emotion the key part of that? I rather think he plays to the cerebral, making music in a way the modernists painted or someone like Bartok composed. But with Tianxu I didnāt find that musical or artistic outlook as he sat down to play. Or it was there but overshadowed by a desire to remind his audience that heās the most musical industrial robot the world has ever seen.

Tru the word emotion muddles everything ā LL for sure expresses emotion, itās just a cheap & retarded sort. Nothing to do w/ what you mention. The problem is the word āartā sounds pompous and āemotionā just as bad. Not cultivated? All tru though.
