Friday 16 May 2008: Transcend
Music transcends everything else.
...especially when you've got such a wonderfully talented pianist friend!
In all seriousness though...there is nothing like music. Nothing in the world. Someone reminded me of that today. During his career, he was both loved and hated by his students. But my mom always tells me that his musical genius was undeniable.
Part of me is afraid to wind up like him- so passionate about my work that I may accidentally sacrifice my humanity for it.
The other part of me wants it so bad. The glory of being a genius...the nobility of being isolated from a world of people who don't understand.
I have heard so many wonderful and terrible things about this man. I knew that I didn't want to be that way when I grew up. But at the same time, when he spoke today...I felt as though he was the only person in the room who understood me...except for the fact that I felt it even more intensely than he did.
There is just something about music...
