All they do is sit in a room with harpsichord and play the well t**pered Klavier for 4 hours. And then they masterbate to Handel symphonies while crying over not knowing enough music theory to understand their idiotic composers.

Go outside! Touch grass! Feel the beautiful melody of my femboy Chopin!

I’ve stumbled across a few posts here that play somewhat advanced pieces (mostly famous ones) like the moonlight sonata and chopins etudes. Many of them state they don’t have a teacher and don’t know how to read sheet music so they play those by ear. Im assuming this means that they only listen to the piece and is able to replicate it on the piano. All of the people whom I know is able to do that are the ones who have gone through years professional training and music theory studies.

How are beginners able to do this?
