I think that the issue of being amateur or professional shouldn't be discussed starting that far by looking for philosophic definitions or similar exercises. A simple fact in my opinion makes the difference: the amateur for purely practical reasons can dedicate something like 200 to 400 hrs per year to his passion. Because his job, familily and/or other basic daily needs impose this. A professional managed to make playing his job, i.e. to dedicate 800/1000/maybe 2000 hrs/year to playing.

this is pretty awful sounding. the phrases are choppy, the orchestra and pianist are not together, and it does a disservice to this great score.

Ok. I admit that my comments were a little "sour grapish". This performance was actually very polished and quite professional and could stand up against most "professional" artists. I guess my gripe is this- why call these events "amateur" at all. If they play like professional, then call it that.

I voted thumbs down grigor99 because your comments are pointless. frankly they sound like sour grapes. i was a struggling artist for years (Juilliard, '61)and never made the career I thought I deserved. But if you love music, you play because you must, amateur or professional. This a beautiful piece. very well played. Period.

While I applaude the achievement of these "amateur" artists, it's sad that there are so many "professional" artists that never get the chance to play with an orchestra because one: they ARE professionals and two: they are not famous enough to get any gigs with a real orchestra.

The difference between amateur and professional is 1) amateur likes to do it, professional loves to do it; 2) amateur does it good, professional does it absolutely perfect. Other circumstances (chance, orchestra, fame) don't matter. Which "category" is this man, man?
