Stravinsky is bound to have copped it from somebody else.

Good composers emulate. Great composers steal. - Stravinsky. :cool:

 

Excellent use of a quote sir, good call.

 

(BTW I liked his "Give me boundaries and then I can be free" - or something like that)

I'm the piano player "off of" Borrowed Books.

I love this thread. The video illustrates how the INTENT of the player matters more than the notes. Right?

 

I always say context and timing are everything. And I think if ya ain't feelin' it, there ain't much fun you can within either of those parameters. :D

You can always practice "safe Web surfing" and use the appropriate prophylactics, LOL.

Here it is:

 

Well, in art as in everything else, one can build only upon a resisting foundation: whatever constantly gives way to pressure, constantly renders movement impossible.

My freedom thus consists in my moving about within the narrow frame that I have assigned myself for each one of my undertakings.

I shall go even further: my freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint, diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees ones self of the chains that shackle the spirit

OK, I admit it. I going over some material to get ready for a gig tomorrow, I realized how easily this lick fits in to "Maiden Voyage," why, it's just a little embellishing on the melody already there at one point ... then it started appearing in my noodlings over a bunch of other stuff. Dammit, this is now firmly in my lexicon. :D
