Musical Sketching

In search of the essence and interpretation of a composition – a sketch of the mutual interaction between music and pulse.

In the challenging company of an escaping light and changing shadows


No sadness because of an artist

who knows how the world can be

happy in his wilderness

if someone him can see.

Back to school: A little Prelude in F Major by Chop… No, Bach – another great teacher!

A lesson on the pulse of life and joy:

1) Start the pulse of life that produces warmth and energy, by paying attention to the direction that gives meaning and the gestures that produce joy;

2) Feel and accept the charm of life given as a birth gift and the energizing impulses that flow from it;

3) Spurred on by energy impulses and undeterred, move towards essential milestones and destinations – with full justification;

4) Allow your life spirit flow forward with its own natural swirl by keeping the human core molten and solving possible uncertainties, contradictions and fears that freeze the movement and Alberti bass of life!

Happy Easter wishes!
