We talk about Blechacz, Rubenstein, Argerich, Pollini, Ashkenazy and all the others. But we forget Chopin in all this. No Chopin, no party.

19 people watched this and got jealous.

Never heard of him before. Yes, he's talented.

He is goooooood.. :)

@Zimakaku No it doesn't make sense. If he said he wanted to play at a level that Rafal is at, it would have. Saying that he wanted to play like Rafal since he was 8 means that he knew what Rafal's style of playing was. That doesn't make any sense.

[Zimakaku]

@nitrocan Are you trolling me? He wish he had the skills Rafal has now since he was 8, even though he did not exist....it does make sense, just use your brain a little.

He is not saying that he specifically wants his skill.

He is talking about skill as if it can be measured, and Rafal has lots of it while he has less.....understand?

If you do change the "When" to "Since" it makes perfect sense

[nitrocan]

@Zimakaku Still doesn't make any sense wanting to play like someone that doesn't exist.

[Zimakaku]

@nitrocan He meant to write "Since" instead of "When"...

[nitrocan]

@tuxdcat If you're 61, when you were 8, Rafal didn't exist.
