It's takes a while to get going - skip to about 2:25. What do you reckon? The difference between dreams and reality is action.

Will do some R&B for a while. Give the classical a break. You can spend the rest of your life looking for music on a sheet of paper. You'll never find it, because it just ain't there. - Me Myself

All seriousness aside, though, I really enjoyed listening and watching her play. For those with lots more experience than me, are things titled "etudes" always composed with a teaching purpose? I ask because this was quite an exciting and attractive piece, that, to my untrained thinking, could easily have been composed for the purpose of entertaining listeners. Also, is this typical of Glass' music? I had not listened to his music before, but, I really liked it. Go, Cathryn, go! Last edited by Ralphiano; 02/05/17 09:10 PM.

By the time I've got the piece down I reckon my hair should be long enough (it's currently about half an inch). Last edited by cathryn999; 02/06/17 08:01 AM.
