Much enjoyed. Inspiring to hear what is possible with this amazing technology - and how we express ourselves in such individual ways.

Regarding playing a musical instrument, sometimes people have advantageous or disadvantageous physical traits. The hands of Rachmaninov, Van Cliburn and Daniil Trifonov for example were/are ideally suited for piano, while others including my own are not. But everyone has a personal and unique creativity, and I believe that to the extent that one finds and cultivates that creative "voice" within oneself, it can speak to and move others.

Stephen_Doonan, I’m really touched by your kind words and thoughts, thank you so much.
To me, making recordings with Ptq is not about success, it’s about doing what I like very much, enjoying recording my own music with Ptq and hopefully making other people enjoying listening to my music. (When young, my piano teacher said I will never be a pianoplayer, unfortunately). So, at this age I had to reinvent myself - as a person that have the courage to actually accomplish something, making my own music, believe in myself. Thanks to a person, who one year ago said kind words I never forget.
And, that you like my music/videos…….that’s fantastic!
Waiting for your next recording/improv.

Perfect performance of ”Cage-music”, playing with such expression. I enjoyed it very much and at the same time you showed me how much I still have to learn (I have too a recording impro, Melody for Steingraeber prepared).
I listened to Cage’s music 38 years ago with my pupils. Nice to hear that kind of music again.
And it’s always a pleasure to hear you play. Thanks!
