Reading Albert Einstein's exhaustive study of the life and works of Schubert I was interested to find a sentence in which he points out that Beethoven never used the term 'moderato.' He goes on to say: "The lyrical quality--that's the answer."
Welcome to this day to day sharing of insights into music. My thoughts and my playing reflect my lifelong drive to integrate primary reactions to sounds with a sense of playfulness open to lyricism as to intellectual game-playing - the level of musical response endangered if not already extinct due to the endemic compilations of sameness that make up our soundworld.
