The things that can go wrong are particular to mediums and they make for qualities that really are of the medium.

The piano is a bit of a monster because it is this center of Western music and so much has been done with it and it is a fixed pitch instrument. It is a bit like trying to paint because there is the weight of all that has been done before.

I know there is also the influence of television and being able to zap away so it is a weightier decision to go into the theater than it used to be. And probably attention spans are not as strong as they used to be, generally speaking.

Socially in my alliances I wanted to just have a strong alliance and making decisions but not putting it out there but letting other people be the target in that way. I think it worked until I should not have been playing that way anymore.

If you think too much in the music you are too late.

It is understandable that people cannot be knowledgeable about all the different mediums. Sometimes it is funny.

The idea that recording itself is an instrument.
