Pianissimo

Leaf 23 – Art Inspired

 

Vilhelm Hammershøi - Interior with a Young Girl at the Piano (1901)

I have never been any good at learning to play musical instruments. But I like going to concerts and hearing other people play. There is also something especially enchanting in the unexpected pleasure of hearing a piano played through an open window on a warm summer’s evening. All art has the power to touch something deep within us, but music particularly so. Perhaps also poetry too.

 

 

 

Listening,

the Pianist’s hands

– moving.
