Post comments. I doubt they will last long. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYx3XJi\_X98](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYx3XJi_X98)

I posted about the nature of the crescendi on this last year and it was gone within the day. Some of them sound like they get louder within the chord, like someone’s manipulated the crescendo volume very crudely in audacity or something.

I don’t really know what to make of him as a person.  
Only met the dude once when he came to my school for a lecture-recital.  
Mikey had some interesting interactions with him iirc. ![:dong:](https://www.dasdc.net/uploads/default/original/1X/a41b6024db15fb5dae9690628e2159bb36301824.gif "Da Dong")

I had a masterclass at one point with him on da Rappah 9, his advice was basically to play it slower and quieter and more seriously.

I remember he told a dude who seriously owned da Pimp FF to play it slowly because it is only marked allegretto.

daim, those are 32nd notes tho ![8)](https://www.dasdc.net/uploads/default/original/1X/ae031e9834d19166598edd060b063d44f1829139.gif "Cool")

he’s nice enough in person.  
My problem with him is that his treatment of Liszt’s works simply reinforces the misconception that most of it is second-rate bombast music.

Hell, listen to his playing of some of the more virtuoso compos like da Contrabandistica or da big dick Gross fant on Hizpanic themes.

Those recs are impossible to listen to unless you run them through audacity or smoke meth before you listen ![8)](https://www.dasdc.net/uploads/default/original/1X/ae031e9834d19166598edd060b063d44f1829139.gif "Cool")

I actually agree with him on FF.

Andrey at Spassov: I would go for a walk.  
Grant e Gross: great and big.  
Criside Nervi: Nervous Breakdown.  
Jee Radisky: record player  
Galina Kocalova: The chicken catches the eggs.  
Mel henson: silly.  
Oscar Rafon: cockroach (in neapolitan)  
Andras Thort: It will go wrong.  
Morton Preston: Dead soon.  
Cor de Rott: Broken strings.  
Sekuro kamamazo: Sure I will kill me.  
Sam brauningann: It looks like a cheat.  
Rob de matt: Things of crazy people.  
Vera cznerny delmar: True sea Fisch.

Those are better jokes, but only a select number of people would get it and presumably they’re in on the joke already.  
So I still don’t see the point of posting fake recs on youtube.

It should sound “slow” in da way dat Rach’s own recs sound slow until you compare with da metronome and get raped! ![8)](https://www.dasdc.net/uploads/default/original/1X/ae031e9834d19166598edd060b063d44f1829139.gif "Cool")

I’ve heard him play live a few times and generally thought it pretty meh but he gave a lecture/recital on da pimp at college and finished with the 2nd mephisto waltz - it was actually amazing! Powerful and demonic.

I heard him play the Meph 2.
