If the right hand plays after the left hand or if the left hand plays ahead of the right hand, maybe they don’t play the melody written by the compositor.

Maybe they live their own life, with their personal rhythm. Just like that.



And the score goes along with them, because the hands compose and interpret.

There is no word to define all of what is contained in a voice, sung or spoken. And we always remember that.



Voices envelope and carry us. They fix, somewhere, like in an unknown continent, the most simple and the most extraordinary moments of our live.

These loved voices, even when they are silent, are still singing and speaking within us.




Wood, brass, smell, strings, mecanisms, pedals, scores, work, repetitons, discouragement, satisfaction, discoveries, mistakes, happiness….

Soundness, dexterity of stringed-instrument makers, pleasure to listen to, to play, to share.

Great pleasure to read : the Time of our Singing, by Richard Powers, Farrar, Straus and Giroux Publishing House, New York, 2003
