Reading music is cool. The main problem is that a lot of people sound
like they're reading notes off a piece of paper instead of expressing a
feeling/mood/memory. One of my favorite book has a piece that, in the
middle, has no notes - just the chords. Whoa! That was a shock. Some
people would like that in a piece of music but I don't have the chops to
pull that off. Frederic Hand sure does - he wrote the piece.
