Zimerman plays Chopin Ballade No. 3

The only course keeping me from graduation is piano--I'm making up for the three semesters of piano lessons that were spent on guitar instead. A summer of piano, and then BAM! I have a music degree. Exciting, yes? Except I has a battle, and it...

Madness, I tell you, madness! It's that busy point in the semester. Fortunately, I feel like things have been going well school-wise. Yesterday I had my best piano lesson of the semester (quite possibly ever?) in which I actually had fun. Norm...

Just to say what I listened to on the drive home tonight. And I desperately want the album Warm Strangers, but finances won't allow it at the moment. She's a fantastic singer/songwriter with an inviting voice and some beautiful piano work. And ...
