Edna --
After reading your various comments on Chopin -- and others relating Bach (very persuasively) to Paul Klee -- I'm prompted to offer a newcomer's "Thank-you" that risks introducing you to someone you may already know. I'll take that chance, however, even if it only encourages you to continue all you share as a fine pianist AND writer. Sharing both of these gifts requires a kind of generosity that deserves constant encouragement and I'm happy to add mine. If you have not done so already, let me suggest visiting the website of a very gifted American performer -- a New York City physician -- who also writes beautifully and, I believe, shares your artistic interests and aspirations . Her two-page essay for The Lancet, which highlights the cello lesson that introduces her to the first Bach suite, will demonstrate for you why my suggestion also says, "Thank-you."
The author\musician\physician is Danielle Ofri, MD. Background can be found at: http://danielleofri.com/
