While I believe there is certainly a phenomenon of timelessness in art, the people writing today can comment on today in an exclusive manner.
My own goals center around writing the best music that I can, and only I can determine whether or not I've succeeded in accomplishing that.
I enjoy the challenge of taking something which was not meant for the piano, distilling its essence and writing or improvising it for/at the piano, but having the listener forget that he or she is listening to a piano.
The best results come when people believe in and feel strongly about the music they are playing. Just as composers write for certain types of performers, performers are also looking for certain things.
I write because the act of writing itself is what drives me. It's a private communication within myself - nothing more or less. This doesn't mean I do not want to share with people.
