Art is the trace of a magnificent struggle”
I will not lie. Being a “classically” oriented musician can be tough at times. Such carefully crafted music often requires incredible effort to create and recreate, but that effort reaps extraordinarily high rewards, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It’s worth it.
Mentally, artful music provides cognitive exercising on a most sophisticated level, whether that is experiencing form in real-time, perhaps while listening to a Debussy Prélude or creating a Schenkerian analysis of a Mozart string quartet.
Physically, from a performer’s point of view, classical music requires the dexterity and precision of a surgeon along with the rigorous discipline of any serious athlete. As both a pianist and an organist, it is a thrill to play two of the largest, and arguably the most powerful poetic instruments in existence.
