Listening to, and studying F. Chopin's piano music
is highly inspirational. He was without doubt a highly successful composer
and dedicated pioneer who's works are much loved even now, 150 years after
his death.
As a one man band, and one who aims to be in tune with
your needs, one can only attempt and hope to emulate these essential
characteristics:
Enduring quality. Innovation. Creative genius.
I first coined the word 'chopinistic' after reading the sleeve notes of Dave Brubeck's Time Further Out LP, where the writer was describing the piece in 3/4 called 'Bluette'. It referred to it being a 'Chopin influenced pianistic waltz' Coming after 'It's a Raggy Waltz' I suppose it may seem almost classical, but then not at all in Chopin's style!
