Musicians have been in my family for years! My grandfather played for the Winnipeg Symphony, my father was a pianist and so is my son. I’ve played the piano and clarinet but never displayed theses abilities. But they all worked long and hard to what they wanted to accomplish.
Songs are everything my dad would say, you just have to tune in, let yourself be taken over by it, you’re no longer a human body but an instrument in tune with the immense waves of the cosmos.
Have you ever watched a world famous pianist’s expression as the patterns of his music climb, shift, twirl and pass away? Hi facial expressions move from a smile to an air of superiority, which seems to the viewer unguarded and spontaneous. From here a tender feeling seems to almost pass over their face, a long note held and then released to another expression of anger then sadness, and deep despair, Does a tear linger here.
The audience appears as if under a spell – with eyes closed they sink deep in the music swaying their bodies around and around, as the music flows from sanity to madness and madness to sanity. Its sounds, low and deep and then with an insatiable hunger soars and then to a whisper fades gently its essence lingers flows and circulates freely about the room.
The world of music never runs out of new combinations of notes and sounds. A famous concert pianist has struck his true note and this note attracts him to others and others towards him.
It takes a long time to be recognized as someone ‘famous’ – it requires a lot of hard work, a little creativity, invention, playfulness and imagination. But most of all it has to do with understanding what our capabilities are and not waiting for permission or approval from others in order to use it.
A famous concert pianist, on the positive side, respects everyone and becomes empowered by making contact with his peers and his audience. He does not seek glamour or applause for his own sake. His goal, his creative urge is to empower others.
In the negative we can become obsessed with money and worldly power. We’ve turned a blind eye to the spiritual side of life – and if power and greed are the case, this famous pianist won’t be around for very long. If the people can’t feel his music, they won’t listen to what is seemingly empty.
