“To play the piano is to consort with nature. Every mollusk, galaxy, vapor or viper as well the sweet incense of love's distraction, is within the hands and grasp of the pianist.” WellsPlayHandsSweetPianoDistractionGalaxyPianistIncenseVaporVipersMollusks Author:Russell Sherman
“When we play music we describe the echo the tableau of natural forms, their shapes and arrangements, as uncovered by the composer's imagination, which yet must be filtered through our own. There is no other way. And in acknowledging this tableau, this revelation, we must "hesitate", we must doubt, as the composer doubted, for no valid creation can issue unscarred by doubt, by that vast flux of wonder which precedes the construction of being.” WayPlayFormImaginationNaturalWonderIssuesDoubtCreationShapesRevelationsConstructionComposerEchoesArrangementsDoubtedFluxNatural FormsTableau Author:Russell Sherman
