Consciousness

Am I the only one who thinks that when Frank Lizst was young he looked like Snape from Harry Potter?

Being a wizard is just a cover story. Composition is the true dark art.

Kreutzer Sonata, painting by René François Xavier Prinet (1901), based on Leo Tolstoy’s novella, The Kreutzer Sonata 

I want to be a mystery, yet be known I want to be together, yet alone Is it too much to ask, to be famous yet unknown? To be a wanderer, yet have a home?

When you understand who and what you are, your radiance projects into the universal radiance and everything around you becomes creative and full of opportunity.

Post-Therapy Feels

My piano teacher wants me to work on the Chopin winter winds etude this summer to work on technique. That woman is trying to kill me. She did however tell me that if I play it at any significant tempo ever while I’m practicing it, she’ll murder me in cold blood so there’s that. She’s expecting it to take me about a year. Which I guess I’m okay with.
