I think there is a reason why no moderator has (yet) weighed in suggesting the thread is either off course or at risk of crossing any lines. As far as I can see, we're not actually near any red lines. So far, all this thread seems to have is a bunch of people talking about a YouTube video, and a bunch of people talking about talking about a YouTube video. And a bunch of people talking about talking about talking about a YouTube video. So somebody passed off a commercial recording as his own. Big whoop. Recordings on YouTube get mislabeled all the time. There's no quality control on posts or comments, so I think every YouTube video should be viewed with a bit of healthy skepticism. Also, since YouTube's user account data isn't public, speculating on the identity or motive of the person who posted this video seems a bit silly. At best, you'd be right but unable to prove it. At worst, it turns into a witch hunt and damages a lot of reputations along the way.

BTW, we did prove it. edit: I see that P*D beat me to it....

Haha! It's hard to tell after so many pages. They start to look the same to me.

Or was it that one thinking it was this one.... BTW let's not let this get lost just because of where K put it: So far, all this thread seems to have is a bunch of people talking about a YouTube video, and a bunch of people talking about talking about a YouTube video. And a bunch of people talking about talking about talking about a YouTube video.

She can certainly play the notes with speed. The B section is way to heavy handed and not voiced well at all. The whole piece feels rushed and not very beautiful. But hey, do you think this anonymous woman has any clue that her playing ability is being picked over and read by hundreds of people? I say knock it off.

But y'know, she might mainly be glad just at the fact that she's being seen, heard, and discussed. That's what I'd put my money on.

But YOU just did the exact same thing before you told everyone to knock it off!
