Well spoken, indeed. Music allows us to reflexively connect our surface thinking with our subconscious levels, to let our inner thoughts blossom freely and without our conscious interference. It draws the other senses in and lets them dream a little bit, all at the same time.
Well spoken, Sir Thomas Beecham!
It was so the perfect time for this statement to appear on my dashboard. Having just played through the entire body of repertoire for my next album, feeling these beautiful converging abstract energies that are related also to a narrative of sorts, I am remembering why it was that I went into this music thing in the first place. The piano is really the only way I can say these things, so I have no choice but to play.
