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!!!

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.
