I really enjoy the piano music played by 1900.For me ,the music is like the masterpiece of heaven.1.It wasnt what I saw that stopped me, Max, it was what I didnt see. Do you understand that? What I didnt see. Classic lines2.Land? Land is a ship too big for me. Its a woman too beautiful, its a voyage too long, a perfume too strong, its music I dont knowhow to make.
