I'm not the poster who's being talked about here right? Is it really fraudulent? I'm going to be honest here, I had the ideas for about a year before I read these books, and these books were certainly enlightening. And these books were all free, Project Gutenberg(AWESOME). If I remember correctly there's a chapter where the author mentions something about having a teacher who recommended slow practice that destroyed her technique. I feel like the dreg of unfocused slow practice without musical concentration could do that. However, I like my method of slow practice, and was just trying to share it. I really hope I didn't offend anyone with my ideas. I was just excited to join the forum.
All the best!

HAHA

No, you're not the one being talked about. We're discussing BachMach2, the mysterious OP. Listen to the recording if you dare.

Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Good lord where did my mind go o.o

Maybe it was sucked away by the stupidity of this thread.

Leave for a few minutes and you'll recover.

(what does mean and why did I use it?)

Maybe I'm just paranoid. O.O

Well I had a listen and you can really deliver on that melody voice. I think you have a tendency to stop a little too much at the end of a 'phrase', which since being inside the piece of music is never a real end but a new beginning.
You really keep the energy going!! There is crazy potential to get better with conduits that can then better the projection of what you hear in your head when you think about it!
It sounds like you could use some technical work to get those hands in shape and play a ton better!!
So I have an idea about those arpeggio kind of things in the beginning. It sounds like your left hand needs some work to get a softer attack on the keyboard with the crazy motions going on. So you could try practicing, idk, for me I've never played the piece so I'm going to go with a wild guess and say maybe I'd use 5-2-1 then 4-2-1 or something. So I would take the shape of the whole first arpeggio, whatever it is, and see if your hands can play that shape in unison on the keyboard. That could maybe help to develop unison relationships between your fingers. If it is difficult to develop independent finger control for you then maybe you could try pressing down the first note of the arpeggio, trying to control every tiny movement the whole push down, and then finding how much you need to keep pushing to hold it down, and then try to control the complete release of the finger and transfer the weight to a different finger, with the same concentrations on what is going on. The movement is kind of like a low as possible chain of arc movements on the keyboard. It is efficient!
So then if there is a thumb turn, I would practice 5-1-4 or 2-1-4 or 2-1-2, then maybe 52-4, with 5 and 2 going down together, 52-2, then 52-42 if it's possible with help from the wrists. It might help to focus the complete way between every movement to get control of finer actions!

I'm afraid you've wasted your time, sir.

I will not say more.

That's a shame, don't you feel like life's things are worth sharing? You really shot down this BachMach2 kid, and he sounds pretty damn musical. Do you feel that he's not even worth a shot, that his 60-odd recordings are all so bad and having nothing to give, no individuality, that time shouldn't even be spent in an attempt to help him to become better at his hobby, and with the 60-odd recordings, maybe passion?

It's sad you won't say more.

I must say, from the posts I've seen from you, you are quite the character.

P.S. Especially because you could be recording glorious Beethoven sonatas to share with us.
Or could you link me to some? Is it against forum rules to not look myself?

About BachMach2...I think you should take a look at some other opinions on him. I don't think they vary too much. He is obviously trolling and trying to bait us into replying to his stupid recordings.

I am definitely "quite the character" - isn't that a good thing?

I could be recording Beethoven sonatas - but I'm too lazy.

Maybe all he has is a recording device that can't work well. And from the quality of posts I've been seeing on this forum, a lot of nooby bashing. Really nooby bashing. But to be honest I haven't read through this thread yet so I don't know.

If you are a real artist and you say that you are being lazy, then you are just being really selfish.

I think I've interested you into saying more, mr. sillysquares

Quite the character..

Huji: He's a pretty fine pianist who is purposely playing lousy on these stupid recordings.

You're starting to get quite rude now, my friend. Cut it out before I message a moderator.

Sorry, I have a short temper and a terrible allergic reaction that happens sometimes.
Good plan I guess.
Let's stop this flaming thing?
Sorry about the mess.

Let's!

I tried sneakily sifting through your recent posts, but I couldn't find a recording of you. You must be really really good. Could you link us to any of your recordings??
Personally, I would love to hear you! Please?

Why do you think I'm really good?

Omg did I uncover your joke. It is hilarious. Hats off to you. bwahahahaha

So you've come to the realization?

You found out faster than most people did. Unfortunately, I beat you...look back in the thread.

Amazing!
I read through it was like wow.
Let's play hangman!
P_y_h_p_t_

What are you insinuating?

Random word, what are you :,(
