Again, quote me an article, quote me an interview, quote me from a textbook. You can make fun of me all you want, but until you prove me wrong your posts remain meaningless.
I'm reminded of a time when I was out with some friends and my then girlfriend. We went to a restaurant that happened to have a piano. The next part was right out of the movie Shine. Someone went up to play the piano and screwed up Fur Elise. I chuckled under my breath. Apparently, he thought he had played it perfectly. Instead of realizing I wasn't trying to disrespect him, he gave me the old "I'd like to see you do better." What he didn't know was that I've been playing piano since I was 4. I went up and played Fur Elise (one of the most hated songs by pianists, btw) correctly and then sat back down again. He insisted that I screwed up. I went back to the piano and played the piano part from Rhapsody in Blue from beginning to end. He realized that I knew what I was doing. As I left, I told him that he was quite talented and that if he had played as long as I had I'm sure he could have shown me a thing or two.
