I'm focused on Debussy's Claire De Lune lately ... Slowly working note by note, hand by hand, measure by measure.

I never had piano instruction as a young lad, but always had a fascination ... I'm actually more comfortable on guitar, so it's a bit of a slog for me ... Nevertheless I'll persist

The Kapustin piece I posted is definitely a fusion of classical and jazz influences ... It's spectacular when it all comes together

I did study composition and music theory along the way, which is where I gained an appreciation of classical styles .. The standard pedagogy relies on 'the classics' to explain form, harmonic theory and devices, so it comes with the territory

I've seen NIN a few times now ... Such excellent and rewarding shows
