Yes I will be listening for more of you. I studied with Ralph Berkowitz. I was groomed to be a concert pianist from the early age of four. This experience is the only reason I feel I have a voice in these matters. I am relieved to hear that you have explored the nuances of Bach's music as he himself most likely expressed them. I have run into a lot of pianist that skip that part and imediatly delve into their own self gratification. The reason I got into composition and singer/songwriter stuff was so that I could express my own interpretations of the universe at my own expense...not at the expense of the masters. Mr. Berkowits helped me with that mind set. The masters before us...had a lot to say that few are able to interpret these days. To have a genius such as Bach get lost in translation is a tragedy.
With that being said, I really appreciate your willingness to discuss this with me in such a delightful way. So many are quick to be self righteous and easily offended. It is a real pleasure meeting you and I look forward to hearing more of you!!!
You, sir, have restored my faith in humanity on the internet. Thanks for being cool about it. :)
I'd love to listen to your music - have you posted any of your original stuff on Steemit?
I put up a song a couple of days ago for open mic 39. @happy2b . a song titled Wanted. It is a long way off from my classical side. I would be honored if you listened to it and commented. Whether you like or dislike, your honest comment is what I truly crave.
You too, have given me hope. I have this internal fear that a platform like this--steemit--that promotes monetary gain for being an active part of its community, could lean towards pretensiousnes and insincerity. But with interactions like this, I see a potential for great sincerity and perhaps more tact. I believe in freedom of expression!!! I love the vast array of difference between people. To be able to discuss those differences without immediately turning to attack is hard to find these days. For this fine example of discussing differences with respect, I admire you.
