Thanks Martin - I don't sing (it's for the best!!) but I have read it over the piece that inspired it!

Ray - it's great to play I regret never learning properly - & I still dance in my head! X

This is a lovely poem Vicki that describes the pain and stress evident in this. It reads almost like a song to me.
Nice one.

THanks Vicki; this account fleshes the whole thing out.
Sorry that it impacts in this way - I still play and try to give my best - working with younger people is great , as age is no real barrier!

Thank you Ray - I'm an ex ballerina (professional until an injury) this was inspired by a composition a friend of mine wrote - a haunting lone piano. I hope you still get to play!! Xx

A very eloquent tribute to the beauty of sound and its convolutions . As a pianist myself I am always aware of the responsibility to fully express the best of the music. A rather sad termination of a natural desire - wings clipped as it were.
