To everyone above:
Sure, a grand piano has its advantages, but having one doesn't make you a Horowitz. While I respect Mr. Choi and Miss Piano's and their elicit opinions, my sentiments towards owning a grand piano is a notch more practical. What makes a great pianist depend on the pianist himself, and not on the piano. Almost all students in conservatories in China practice on upright pianos, and I don't see many of the richer kids with 9-foot grands in Hong Kong being superior to the less fortunate Chinese students. Some of my best students own inexpensive upright pianos, while the worst students I've come across have beautiful pianos that I wish I had. And for those who have been to my recent concerts in Hong Kong (where I played some of the most difficult works of Leopold Godowsky), I practiced all of them on an upright Yamaha at my home here in Hong Kong. In fact, since I came back to Hong Kong these two years, I have practiced all my repertoire on my Yamaha uprights, from Bach to Beethoven to Berg - and I do this for a living!
RE: 彈快歌, 三角琴起鍵較快; 可供演奏者快速彈奏
Not definitely so. I have tried pieces with lots of repeated notes like Ravel's Alborada and Chabrier's Borree Fantasque on some grand pianos with disappointing results - in fact, the beautiful Bosendofer in Space Museum is almost impossible to play repeated notes. The response of a piano has little (not nothing, just little) to do with whether it is grand or upright. That is a matter of adjusting the action of the piano - the task of a piano technician.
In conclusion: it's nice to have a beautiful grand piano, but for a practice instrument, all it takes is a reliable piano with good action and sound, until one has reached a very high professional level. At an elementary or non-professional level, owning a grand piano is like a new driver owning a Ferrari - sure it's nice, but not a necessity.
Musicians rely too much - and more often, assign blame - on external things, such as their teachers or pianos. They are important too, but in truth, what makes a musician is the musician himself.
