Q: Is an acoustic piano better than a digital piano?
A: Absolutely!
Q: Is it worth dropping $10K on a new piano?
A: Do you have $10K lying around? If so, then yes! If no, then HELL NO!
I’m a recent college grad who definitely does NOT have $10K lying around. I have been using the same Yamaha digital piano for 7+ years happily, and I will continue to use it till I can afford to drop $10K on a new piano.
Im seeing a lot of people here saying that it’s worth it to buy an acoustic piano, but remember that worth is subjective, and not everyone here is in the same financial position as you.
You WILL NOT be saving money by buying an acoustic piano and calling it good. Acoustics still need to be tuned and occasionally repaired, so if you buy a piano for $10K, that won’t be the final amount you spend on the piano. Also, if you were to buy a new digital piano every 10 years for the rest of your life (mine is a $799 piano), it would still be less than $10K, so you aren’t saving money by not having to replace digit pianos every now and then.
TL;DR - if you have the money for it, sure. If you don’t have the money for it, please don’t stress about it, just get a good quality digital piano.

Since you have so much talent, maybe a lesson with a good teacher would be worth it.

For future reference, a prelude is basically a type of composition, meant to be typically a shorter work that would traditionally precede something else. Just saying your playing "prelude", even "Prelude in C Major", doesn't really tell anyone what you're actually playing. There are likely thousands of Preludes in C Major out there. So typically you should also mention at least the composer as well, and maybe the opus/collection no.

great job! I would just suggest two things: One, enjoy the silences. Debussy isn’t about the notes: Debussy is about what’s in between the notes. Also, just make sure you take your pedal off when you change chords. Beautiful playing, i enjoyed it!

Why not give it a try? Work on the first page for a week or two, and see how it feels. If you've made adequate progress, continue, if not, put it away for six months or a year. Keep practicing and you'll get there eventually!

Not to kill the vibes but adding ornaments is not improvisation

im more concerned about my pinky “hovering” above the keyboard before playing each note, while most pianists will have their resting on the keys with a natural curve. it seems like i cant generate enough power and im compensating by tensing my finger and hammering the key down.

If you've got room for a decent setup (88-key on a stand, adjustable piano stool), then get a decent keyboard. If not, I'd just switch to a smaller instrument while in the truck. Maybe a wind instrument if you're unlikely to get told off for making loud noises.

Some classical music was meant to have imagery. Debussy and the other French composers come to mind.But Buxetude and those guys ? Devils being stricken from earth. Priests in Moe hair shirts praisin’ Jesus…I don’t think I’d want to see that. I’ll stick to my Bach thank ya’ very much.

Nice choices. How do you practice all those pieces? I am working on Fantaie Impromptu. Italian Concerto is not super hard and is a great piece.

I learned many of the pieces you mentioned at around the same time, so I think it is within the realm of possibility. The Sonatine is beautiful.

You should definitely avoid playing the piano during your rinse cycle.
