well... everytime i see a great pianist, they are playing kind of classical music? why? is it just because it is really hard? well.. i myself rather like playing something from Yiruma and Uematsu! .. :)

@Frederikys but many people feel their expressions in their bodys and let them out with it...nobody would dance otherwise :) maybe it lookes a little bit strange but when my piano teacher plays a emotional peace he always lookes like he had some sexual thing going on with the piano or wants to crawl into it...and he makes noises like he really has ^^ hehe...doing music is not "looking good" but "sounds good" ...if it helped them to play emotional...let them :)

@Frederikys Yeah me neither, It dosen't make sense. It doesn't seem as though they are enjoing it, but she plays good.

[TyrantCreed]

Hej Andia! Du spiller helt fantastisk!!!! Du er god til at fortælle en historie med musikken og får følelserne med! Meget flot! Bliv ved med det!!!!!!! :-D Kh Jens

[Frederikys]

I really don't understand why people does those "body moves" while playing !! the expression is in the fingers, which comes from the soul .... not in the body .....
