I play as I feel.
O.P. was one of the greatest piano players of all time. A pianist with phenomenal technique. He released over 200 recordings, won eight Grammy Awards, and received numerous other awards and honors.

Great lesson, Sir! Thanks for all your divine music.

    I do like the piano, it does add something extra to a song or orchestral piece and also can sound great on its own. I like the dramatic, lively tunes as well as the dark and forboding
