The concert pianist
What care I about the audience and their tastes?
The truth is only in the music,
and my only job is to be faithful to it,
honestly to make it right and render it some justice
and forget about the audience.
They are only there to get the message
while I am the messenger who carries with me
the divine and lasting message of a better world
of sanity that outlasts all the madness of the world.
Compared with music, there is nothing but insanity
in everything that is not music that sounds well.
So listen carefully, hark well my message,
for it is unique, and it is difficult,
demanding concentration and a total focus,
for true music of pure harmony and melody
is in all its abstractness and aloofness from reality
no less than all the voice of God you'll ever hear.
