i tell you, in truth, this is the cause of my madness. whilst i spent hours and hours practicing - my brother would come and sit down and in one sitting play anything that came to his head. pretty soon - when i would compose things i'd hear more than basic rhythms. (he also played sax). bad influence, he was.

well, he got to where i was 20 years later in a matter of 3. no hard feelings. i love him to death. he can't sightread either, so we're even.

clementi drove him to it at the age of 8. in 10th grade he was playing a sax concerto by glazunov. he played it pretty well, too. i think he played it for some school recital and got a standing ovation.

From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
