Ravel and Scriabin

It is of the Essence that I discuss these two Composers - more for me
than for Mike or anyone else that may read this.

Because these two Composers wrote Music that is unarguably -
Difficult and Complex.

Yet I  - who was not good enough to be in Piano Performance -
was able to Play a couple of their very Difficult and Complex Pieces  -
When I Could Not Even Play Simpler More Doable Works - such
as a f*in' Haydn Sonata (no offense Papa Haydn.)

To me this can only mean one thing:

That although I didn't know it back in College  -  I can see now that I
do have a Very Important Link to Piano - not necessarily as a Concert
Pianist - but there is Something there.

I just have to figure out what it is.

Now it just might have something to do with my Ablilty to Teach.

After all - I was a Piano Teacher - and a Sunday School Teacher -
both for a number of Years. : [

I've always wanted to be a College Professor.

Bingo.

Could it be that Something lies ahead for me now that I live about a half
a mile from the Jacobs School of Music here at Indiana University?

Maybe.

But right now I want to meet Bill Maher.

And I will NOT be able to go on with my Life until I do just that.

More later on which works of Ravel and Scriabin I have studied.
