Okay,
@MathPrinceps, sounds good! I find some other composers a bit more interesting, but what I really *need* is keyboard skills and music theory knowledge. I'd settle for being able to play Gaspard de la Nuit like Yuja Wang does.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfwcW07yhSo … -
Since all this is pure fantasy, I'd urge you to aim higher; for Yuja Wang's performance is far from the best I know (which is this one, from Ashkenazy in 1963 -- it's even better than Michelangeli.) http://bit.ly/2I4o1U6 / http://bit.ly/2U1XwpV /http://bit.ly/2Wyv9wh

Problem with Liszt or Rachmaninov is that you would also need their famously large hands and the accompanying muscle memory...not just their knowledge. Unless you are content composing masterpieces for other virtuosos, which doesn't sound bad.

love Liszt and Rachmaninov. I get the sense that virtuoso is great as human feat but not musically. e.g. what happens to piano music if human have 10 hands? now we have midi with 100 simultaneous notes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_c6uQHlhZ0 … seems not musically impressive.
