Hmm, a little more and I may get the gist of this.
The videos where Antonio Domingos puts claims of being the “fastest” there is? That, to me, was what this forum felt like it was going to be about.
Domingos seems a good enough pianist for instance to know that such claims are silly, but decides to go in it for the ride anyway, sometimes resulting in criticism. I guess my agenda was…somehow the same. But as I said, I’d wager both of us know a thing or two beyond the amateurish idea of piano being about speed.
I dunno. I suspect I might have a mild case od Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (which imo is in some ways helpful to piano maybe). But people like Domingos remind me that I’m not the only one, and that satisfies me.
I’m not one of those people who takes “fastest” at face value though. I often delve into these things, scrutinise recordings, determine what makes a pianist sound “fast”. Don’t take it too literally.
Really though - were there members banned for something like this? What’s the history there?
