Any musician, even a non-professional worthy of the name, loves classical music deeply... and for me, it is this passion that makes us face the great ''problems'' that Mozart, Bach, Chopin, etc., can give us. The moral and philosophical strength of someone studying a piece is unmistakable compared to physical strength, because the passion, the tenacity, sometimes even the stubbornness in trying and retrying that same passage, is something that in the end gives us satisfaction in hearing that splendid melody coming from a piano (or any other instrument) that makes us fully satisfied and happy... so with this discussion, I invite you to declare your emotions, difficulties, performances... etc.

I fully agree. Many times I have realized that if it weren't for that difficult "passage" that pushes me to try and retry it many times, playing wouldn't be so engaging. I believe (but it is a personal hypothesis) that no one, if there weren't at least a little bit of that "difficulty," would commit themselves fully. On the other hand, it is precisely the difficulties that, little by little, can allow us to improve...

Obviously little by little, otherwise one risks finding oneself in my situation (lots of reading right from the start, "important" pieces too quickly and technical preparation = ๐Ÿ˜ )...

@giusantsot when you realize you have made a typo, you can click on "edit" under the message you want to modify. This way we avoid filling the forum with correction messages, when the error can be corrected directly...

I have corrected it now. ๐Ÿ™‚

I fully agree with your idea Francesco, in fact my point was referring exactly to that, that if we didn't make mistakes it wouldn't be the same thing, there isn't the same passion and those other things that make music something extraordinary

The emotions that music and the piano give are unique to me.

A cathartic moment that involves mind, body, and soul.

No, it is not a simple passion that can vanish from one day to the next; it is a beautiful road of no return that brings so much satisfaction.

The struggle of progressing hinders our desire to move forward, yet allows us to find pleasure even in difficulty.

No milestone is awaited if there are no pitfalls along the path and no reward at every stage.

The more you know it, the more you appreciate it. And thus, the continuous chasing after a lover that intrigues us never bores us!!

I agree with both opinions (both pianoexpert's and sisifio's),...music is something one must dream of and feel inside, otherwise I don't think they will ever learn anything...
