“From youth to middle, and often to past middle, age, most men are apt to be too closely engaged in the struggle of life to pay due attention to the strength of the body. They may take daily what they consider a sufficient amount of exercise; but the exercise is not calculated to keep the various limbs and muscles, still less the internal organs, in proper working order. Amid the ordinary concerns of life the man may appear strong, even stalwart. But when occasion arises for some special muscular exercise, or taxing the action of some organ, he finds out his weakness.” MenMayStillsBodyAgeActionPastOrderStrongPayAttentionStruggleMiddleSpecialYouthHe ManAmountExerciseOrdinaryWeaknessConcernVariousDuesAriseOccasionsSufficientEngagedMusclesInternalsOrgansLimbsMiddle AgesLife StruggleStalwart Author:Richard A.

“Whenever I record something, I always believe that it's worthy of inclusion in the pantheon, and I would certainly like pianists to pay more attention to it. I think it's ridiculous now, because the range of repertoire - or what's considered 'safe' - is so narrow, even though there are pianists who are really trying to push the envelope. There is still a lack of attention, and there's no reason for it. The piano repertoire is so rich, with so many wonderful things that still are not given their due.” ThinkingTryingBelieveStillsReasonGivenPayAttentionRichRecordsWonderfulSafeWorthyDuesRidiculousRangePianoNo ReasonInclusionWonderful ThingsAlways BelievePianistEnvelopesPantheon Author:Marc-Andre Hamelin
