Sam - your tagline "You can play better than BachMach2." - Mark_C totally cracked me up!
High praise indeed!

I've been researching some history here...and I have another question: why is this poster not banned yet?
Why would he be?

Has he ever come back to respond on any one of his ridiculous threads?  Yes.

Has he ever come back to respond on any one of his ridiculous threads? He's probably always been too busy laughing.  I guess not-looks like his "All Posts" list is exactly the same as his "Topics Created" list. No, it's not the same.

The sad thing is that technically, he's recorded the complete Beethoven sonatas, and we haven't though....hahaaa I could go right now, sit at the piano, and sight-read through the complete sonatas, and have a better recording than his.  Let's hear it!

Because some people have a sense of humor.

Because some people have a sense of humor. I wonder how they retain it through this poster's 60-odd ridiculous recordings.

I'm just waiting for a recording which is played really well....that would totally be the highlight of the year if it happened.
Working on:
Chopin - Nocturne op. 48 no.1
Debussy - Images Book II

Well, he seems to be prolific so maybe in a "million monkeys on a million typewriters" kind of way it could happen.

There are many tell-tale signs that belie BachMach2's true talent. He is a far better pianist than he is showcasing for us here. Listen for the clues if you dare. Otherwise, simply enjoy the "art." Or not.
I may not be fast,
but at least I'm slow.

Crisper page turns than ever before! Well done!

Mompou, Cancion y Danza #6
some Chopin, some Bach (always), Debussy
My beliefs are only that unless I can prove them.

We don't even know if it's a joke, he may just be the worst pianist on the planet. I take umbrage at that statement. I reserve that title for myself! Listen closely. There are many tell-tale signs that belie BachMach2's true talent. He is a far better pianist than he is showcasing for us here. Listen for the clues if you dare. Otherwise, simply enjoy the "art." Or not. Yes, absolutely. Being the "worst pianist on the planet", I know when I'm listening to someone who's not. Polyphonist, you may call them "accidents", but if you listen to some of his runs, very fast passages, etc. his playing belies a certain fluidity that someone like myself would be incapable of, whether I was "sight reading" or not. And then when playing some extremely easy passages, like simple chords played slowly, he struggles mightily - misses notes, wrong dynamics, uneven tempo, etc. Makes no sense. Nope, CB's right: There's much more "there" there. I'm just waiting for a recording which is played really well....that would totally be the highlight of the year if it happened. You are exactly right. In fact, I said the same thing in an older thread. The day may come when BM2 slips us a diamond, and he'll laugh his head off waiting to see who, if anyone, will notice.
