Welcome to mostlypiano

A musician is often thought of as being an entertainer. There's always a bit of entertainment involved, but one always hopes audiences are secretly itching to be touched by art, just as they are entertained. An artist therefore has other agendas than to merely be an entertainer. Sometimes to be artful is to not be entertaining but to be scarry, ironic, stinging, stupid, abstract and more. At the same time, the role of an artist is to also reflect society and hopefully act as a mirror, be it a flattering or distorting mirror. While my primary focus is piano performance and composition in the realm of disecting new ways to play dead people's music (i.e. the classical realm), I have been involved in other aspects of society which have made me more eager to speak out on various topics. This blog will hopefully be an outlet to keep fans included in the debate. I also hope to be inspired by any comments others make.

Cheers,
Eugene
