I actually don't have the energy right know to argue how you really know that oranges are orange in the same way for me as they are for you...  Anyway, how can one not love people, friendships, relations, humanity? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvwRXaSbfVYRemarkable man...

At any rate, Polyphonist and ChopinAddict are not as anti-social as they thinks they are. If they were they wouldn't be here on the forums.

How about the outsider? I think that book would suit you ChopinAddict. I see nothing wrong with wanting to be alone. If you do want to be alone, I accept that. But I doubt you dislike humans or humanity... You say you love music, music created by the human spirit. Through music, you communicate with yours and others human spirits.

Anyway, the IMPORTANT thing now is for EVERYBODY to listen to Muhammad Ali and to read The Brothers Of Karamazov!

Yes, sometimes people want to be alone, but this doesn't mean they dislike humanity. Sometimes they just don't connect.

And of course music is more important than love or friendship... My god, so false... Don't believe it, as tempting as it is! Down that path ultimately lies misery, I think... But there's absolutely no reason why you can't have it all...music, love AND friendship.  I'm a lover of music. That's music and love. Friendship I'm not so keen on. "Loving music" is not the same thing as loving or being friends with another human being. Ideally, we should experience both kinds of love during our lives. (Just my opinion, of course.)

Yes, sometimes people want to be alone, but this doesn't mean they dislike humanity. Sometimes they just don't connect. It's not just "wanting" to be alone - it's "needing" to be alone at certain times in our lives - and it has nothing to do with liking or not liking humanity. By nature, I'm an introvert but I can also be very social and "out there." Go figure.  Real "connections" with other human beings in this world are rare - but they do happen. We simply need to be open to the possibility.

I'll bypass the psychiatric stuff -- y'all are doing right fine without me.  ....I've heard a few versions that skip it [i.e. the repeat] and I think it works.... Yes indeed! If you listen to even more, you'll find that almost everybody skips it. And with good reason. I love every measure and every note of that exposition -- with a passion -- but I think taking the repeat half-ruins the piece. I'm with those who think that despite Chopin's having written separate 1st- and 2nd- endings, it was a formality, and he didn't particularly intend the repeat to be taken. (Before anybody takes the trouble to do a post stating that this is just speculation..... .....I'll include my sig:)

I just performed this a few hours ago - a few sloppy moments, so maybe I'll pass on uploading another recording for now...
In the meantime, I'd like to thank everybody who get thoughtful comments to my practice recordings, and I will continue to keep working on this piece. Thanks again!

I hope you can edit or delete the above post, hopefully delete. Even when someone messed up, it's not a great idea to say anything like that.
