Stores wants to say it's equivalent to saying "buddy" or "friend."
No no no no no no. I said "buddy"...I didn't say "friend". It's simply a term. Would it have been different had I said "Spanky", or "Melvin", or whomever? It means nothing and those who mussssssst place some importance behind it need to find themselves a hobby. Some of you really need to get out of the house a bit more. Get over it already.

I'm surprised you didn't know that I am several times your age as my age has come up occasionally before although not in the way I've mentioned it in this thread. My post has nothing to do with "bowing" to people because of their age.
You're so full of it. If your post has nothing to do with your age and the "oh my god here he comes bow your head" respect that you feel should be shown you as a result then you would never mention your "surprise" regarding the fact that Angelina didn't know your age (as if she should remember it before addressing such wisdom and experience). Waaaaaah! Get off my grass!!!

If you're worried about someone reading you wrong, you can toss in a happy face...
Now if stores had only used a happy face along with "skippy."
:>)
I'm not, however, worried about someone/anyone reading me wrong. I said what I wanted to say. If I wanted to use a happy face I would have, but I'm not Mark.

Waaaaaah! Get off my grass!!! What nonsense...from one of the snarkiest(to use another poster's description) posters in the history of PW. Expecting courtesy i different from respecting respect. You don't care about either.

stores darling, for a concert pianist (that is what you are, right?), your people skills are a bit.. less than visible.
At the end of the day, it is all about perceptions. You can be incredibly nice at heart, but if you are perceived as nasty, that is how you will "go down". Thus a sharpening of one's communication skills is required. All the more relevant to younger Angelina..
In plainer English, it is not just PL who has commented on the impressions given by your communications. I am willing to bet my last dime that if anyone were to call you skippy (try to imagine one of your students doing that), YOU would NOT be a happy camper (and I , for one, would not want to be around for that scene), yes????

My comment was more about being treated with courtesy as opposed to respect. I don't expect anyone to respect me automatically for any reason.
So I have to be polite, ALL the time, without having a different "tone" ever? I can't say "Oh come on" or something, I always have to say "dear sir, please come on"? I know I'm exaggerating, but.... come on!! You don't have to do anything. It's up to you.

Okay, I'm a b***h, can we talk piano now? This isn't a "how to tall to people" help session.

Seems like a sufficient close to this side conversation. I think a lot of you are just frustrated that the live stream is no longer available.

For what it's worth P, which I grant isn't much, I've never found you anything but a very bright and engaging poster full of youthful passion and love for the piano. I don't recall a single time when I'd apply the "B" word to one of your posts.
Stores, I don't get why this bothers you. If you care what other people think about you...and from your general posting style it's a surprise to me that you might...then why not try a little kindness? I remember a post I put up as pretty much a newcomer both to the forum and the piano (as an adult restarter), and your response to my admittedly not very bright questions was:
"Yawn."
That to me is just plain nasty. I mean, why go out of your way to try and make someone feel badly? What drives that kind of thing?
At least you didn't call me skippy.

I have a feeling that if I met stores in person, we'd get along very well. If I lived within 50 miles of him, I'd also take a lesson from him now and then.
In pedagogue terms...BruceD is the Claude Frank of PianoWorld, and stores is the John Perry. (Played for both - my two favorite masterclasses of all time.)

Great Work Batuhan! Your dedication is quite admirable and to be taking on the hardest part of this difficult piece from the start is a good idea...I do think you should get a teacher! Good Luck!

I'd be more than happy to oblige with the lesson. Thank you for the honorable comparison! I've played for Perry, but not Frank.

Haha!! The Perry... Omg I have to study in the summer with him. I guess after knowing stores, Perry won't be that much different :P
