>>11997441>acclaim>age 20find me a pianist in the last 70 years whose accomplished this, and ill tell you why theyre mediocre
early financial success as a musician is entirely irrelevant, and frankly, nothing classical piano has ever been recorded by someone under the age of 50 that wasnt immature and at best a musical curiosity
single exception to gould's initial goldberg
musical studies are imperative, and they should be taken through to virtuosity, but theres a lot along the way that would be missed if concert repertoire was the only concern, which it would have to be if you were trying to be a concert pianist at such an early age
which ill reiterate is stupid, because itll hamstring you in the long run, and no matter what, youll be irrelevant next to the greats for a minimum of 30 years
