I agree that "voice" is intrinsic to both, and both, as you say, result in beauty when dedicated concentration is applied.

It's interesting you draw poetry into the mix. I'll have to think about this. Thanks, again.

I want to touch on RB's point though, about writing being creative and piano playing being expressive--the converse is true! Writing is expressive and playing the piano can be creative. Each writer creates using a "voice" that is developed through expression. Each musician creates his own style and interpretation in the way they play. The mechanism is different, but the result--art--is beauty.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431762933049043552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279810357296469936.post-1561555650246673402013-03-06T19:49:40.293-05:002013-03-06T19:49:40.293-05:00You have successfully connected writing to playing...You have successfully connected writing to playing the piano--two activities that to me have had little in common other than the artistry. Even that connection is thin because writing is creative whereas playing the piano is expressive. I would have thought poetry reading more akin to playing the piano; similary with composing a musical piece and writing. Thank you for expanding my self-imposed boundaries. Your argument is robust and compelling indeed.<br /><br />RBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
