Best Night(s) Of Your Life

[ahinton]

as i see it alistair, you are about as qualified to give piano lessons as anyone.  you can actually explain what it is we are reading.  sort of like a docent at an art museum.  there are so many things that piano teacher's probably miss and wouldn't if they were composers.  besides - you still have all your fingers.  what's keeping you from taking a few piano lessons?

perhaps we should start another thread 'best piano lesson of your life.'

Thanks for your compliment, but I know enough about the piano, its history, literature, manufacture and design, etc. and pianism in general to know that piano playing is for pianists - just as is piano teaching; this fact does not specifically inform my writing for the instrument but I am never uncognisant of it when writing for the piano...

Best,

Alistair

just don't tell anyone - and i don't think that they'll really notice.  unless you are fond of very wide chords and confounding pianists.  but, sooner or later -these difficult pieces get turned into duets.

Er - to whom are you replying here, Susan?...
