That’s exactly what Vladimir Feltsman said about me when I was like 8 LOL. He is on video here saying it… “I want him to start playing concerts 3-4 years later but be in business 40 years longer!”

Spoiler: I got into computers as a teenager and my piano career took a nosedive, from Carnegie Hall and Juilliard to like… playing for friends at a house party :)

Crazy stuff, I've been playing for 40 years since I was 3 and I could maybe just about play some of those pieces with a lot of practice!

I hope you can still get some joy from playing, that's probably way more important than whether you made a career out of it or not.
