I am a 50 year old with normal coordination and intelligence. Is it too late to learn piano?
I have just finished all the Beethoven sonatas and Chopin Etudes and have no idea what to play next. Please help
My hands are microscopic, need advice.
What is your favorite piano song?
My 5 year old is doing great with his lessons on our DP. He says he needs an acoustic, preferably a grand. Which piano should he choose?

I have a ~$20,000 acoustic piano in 'storage' Will my cheap Williams digital be better for playing the 'big time' concertos?

I am having my debut with the Berlin Philharmonic and was wondering if I should play one of their Steinway D's or a digital?

Yaris or Acrosonic? =)
Why can't Andras Schiff be more like Lady Gaga, 'cos that would really help more people like classical music.
Why do ppl who know more than me have to act like they know more than me?
How long will it take me to learn the Hammerklavier? I have been taking lessons for 1.5 years and can only practice 3 minutes every other day.
MUST SEE!!! 5-YEAR-OLD SIAMESE TWIN PRODIGIES PLAY SCHUBERT!!!

"Paranormal voice of Chopin" (oh right, that's been done) "Can you recommend me a piece that starts slow, gets fast, then slow, and finishes with a big bang?" "Is this piece too difficult for me? I have the score and am looking at it now, but need advice on whether, or not, I can play it." "Just for those devoted to hearing themselves talk (say what you like, repeatedly, in as many different ways as is possible)" "I want to learn to play the piano. Should I take lessons? (there's a site that says I can start playing in an hour on my own)." "I need help with the first movement of Fur Elise."

"Can you recommend me a piece that starts slow, gets fast, then slow, and finishes with a big bang?"
All the Ballades, haha! I assume you were thinking of Ballade 1 though. "Lang Lang appreciation thread" "Are there any performance enhancing drugs?" "OMG I hate Marc Andre Hamelin he's just a technical robot" I would have said "Opus Clavicembalisticum study group" if pianoloverus hadn't, haha. Also, anything that allows me to use this picture on someone's REALLY long pointless post.

How to sneeze without having to blow your nose, so you can keep playing... Better yet: "How To Sneeze Without covering your Keyboard, Fallboard, and Music Desk With Spit".  Better yet: "How to play with your nose." My hands are microscopic, need advice. "Will finger dislocation improve my handspan?"
