absolutely a writer you have to know

Do you know Chomsky?
If you are not only a piano player but you can also think in no-musical terms, you have to read Chomsky, the most important intellectual men on the world.
Please, someone tell me that he knows him. (I'm from Italy and I red six books by Chomsky)

Hm..I haven't read anything by him, but I know that he was a linguist who studied sentence structure (among other things) and an anarchist. What did he write?

Lots of books.  He's still on the payroll at MIT.  Gives talks now and then.  Give him a library checkout at your local library.

Used to go to his lectures at MIT years ago.

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark.
