Well, no. I believe that it's not at all impossible that some of the performances that I've heard so far by some pianists may be superior to my own playing because those are two totally different acts altogether.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not really a pianist.
To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.
However, yes, especially as one gets older, you know, you really hope that your music will become more generally available, even though some of the performances might be riddled with faults.
I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary.
I'm one of those pianists who tends to ignore every existing recording and lots of traditions about playing pieces when I start.
To be able to produce many varieties of sound, now that is what I call technique, and that is what I try to do. I don't adhere to any methods, because I simply don't believe in them. I think each pianist must ultimately carve his own way, technically and stylistically.
You have to really concentrate on piano or acting. You can't do both.
The piano and the singing are two equal things to me - maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices.
A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?
I'm sorry to say that no, I do not play the piano.
