stretching

I was thinking the other day about friends, and how I stretch because of them...

Take my friend, Sharon, for example. Gifted cellist. A musical kindred spirit--only the second I've found in my 51 years. And she just happens to be moving to Uganda this June. We're giving a recital on May 3rd, and she found an amazing piece of music, Kol Nidrei by Max Bruch.

It is a piece that will stretch me as a pianist, but because of our friendship, I will invest the hours of practice to master the piece until it flows effortlessly--until I am one with the music and one in spirit with Sharon as we perform.

Give a listen to the following... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfSMVPJg35A
