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!

What nice things to say, Pianoteqenthusiast. Thank you so much.
I wanted to mention how impressive your video production is and how nicely it complements your music.

Re: Improv - Steingraeber "Prepared" Preset
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.

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.

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