Hi Everyone,

For Sarah is a music diary type composition.

The score:

Post a performance!

I have access to no recorded public performance of this composition which can be shared.

Perform it yourself?

Perform it yourself?

It is unworthy to be performed alongside the works of the great masters, in my opinion.

All music is worthy of performance. Liszt's Etudes would not have been hailed as a musical work of genius had they not been performed, would they?

Rather than hear any of my mostly little, sketch book like compositions, the audience's time would be better spent hearing such great and passionate works as Liszt's Harmonies du Soir and Un Sospiro, wouldn't it?

All persons with outward humility are not an Elmer Gantry.

All persons with outward humility are not an Elmer Gantry.

what I mean is: 

you have to believe in yourself--but if you are outwardly boastful, wow do you get crushed--it's tough to know just what to say about your own playing isn't it?

...it's also expected that your show your respect to the masters---yet be completely unique as well.  Hard to know just how much respect to have and just how unique  we are expected to be though....

that's why I play a lot of jazz--that aspect is much more clearly defined...   we are also permitted just a bit of arrogance...and it's just because we play the piano...

apologies---that did sound a little harsh.

Thanks for the apology dcstudio, though it wasn't really needed with me.  I've said things too here and there, maybe not in the best way.  Sometimes I've said things which I didn't really mean.  I've even done both of these things here at Piano Street.

Everyone has done these types of things, so please don't worry about it.
