Well, looks like I don't have time to play chess...
So another topic not about chess.

I just wanted to show you this beautiful concert of mine, the first concert with orchestra and piano. Chopin's first pianoconcerto, first movement, played by nobody else than Albert Sung!

Tell me how you like it, and now back to exams...

Cheers

Hehe, thanks for responding, I thought this would become a zero reply topic. :shock:
By the way, it was my first concert ever with orchestra, and I wasn't nervous at all.

Albert, I just listened to your 1st Chopin Piano Concerto and I'm absolutely bowled over!

I consider it a great honor just to be on the same chess site with you.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

I really am amazed how I could work with this orchestra, they just can't stand me now. I've recently proposed some other pieces and they don't want to play them, I like the pieces.

I can somehow sense their feelings, especially the pianists: if I play they just sit there doing nothing and also the woodwinds and coppers have little to play. I think I scared them away with the chopin concerto. Frankly there are people there who didn't like to play the concerto at all.

They want to play Queen, Pirates of the Caribbean and such. And that is not my cup of tea. So I'm going to leave this orchestra because there already is a pianist there. I don't like him because he hates me. I'm just going to a better orchestra. I could play the violin but those pieces they propose leave me emotionless.

Well it was a great experience, but I can't stand jealous people.
By the way that kid playing mario is amazing.
