Genco Erkal and Fazıl Say performing this poet with piano. Not only they are in the flow, also people who is listening and watching also feeling that moment.

Very good example, very good poem, very good performance. I think "ölmekten korktuğun halde ölüme inanmadığın için" line is one of the best meaningful verse at Turkish poetry. Also, I think this one is better in terms of performance and recording qualities; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEbsNaWA7-I

I took a great opportunity to listen them live last year. Its name was "Nazım Oratoryosu" . That was an incredible performance. I recommend that if you have a chance, you can listen them without thinking.

We will read more about expertise. Some readings will be from Ericsson.

:) Does this mean that we will be experts about learning after about 417 days? (10000/24)

That could be a little bit irrelavant but as I am also a big fan of the importance of pratice while reading the article lines from the film, Pride and Prejudice came to my mind and it made me laugh. It could sound a bit meaningless if you haven't watched the film, but I will try to explain. Lady Catherine, the aunt of Mr.Darcy (main guy) tries to insult Elizabeth (main girl) by saying that "no excellence in music is to be acquired, without constant practice" when she could not play the piano well. Elizabeth took her revenge from Mr.Darcy when he said to her "he did not have the talent of conversing easily with people he had never met before" and Elizabeth replies that "Perhaps you should take your aunt's advice and practice?" :) As the article implies no one should never underestimate the power of practice. Even you can realize that you are doing better at something at your second or third time. Imagine that you are doing the same thing ten thousand time?

4 year old kid playing piano like an expert. He is almost 35 000 hours old :))
