Benjamin Classical Training (117* d) RE: Classical Training 03 Jul 03


If you ever have a chance to hear a recording of Charles Ives playing the piano (Composers Recordings Inc. has one out called "Ives plays Ives), I would highly recomend it. Ives was a classicaly trained pianist and composer, one of the first musicians to graduate from Yale, yet had a deep respect for (for lack of a better word) vernacular music.
Also in Seattle is a pianist named Annivile Blues. She grew up studing classical piano and at some point switched over to blues. From talking to her, she doesn't really regret a thing in her previous training.
