<HTML><HTML>Greg, Now, that is what I hoping hear. Someone who plays with passion and convicti= on. That's something I personally admire in an any artist, be classical, jaz= z, new age, or even rap.....second thought- scratch the rap. But you get the= idea. If they play style well and do an admirable job, they get my applause= . Since you brought up the notion if he could play Beethoven or not brings up= a rather important issue. I've worked with a number of big-named artists wh= o do play the Beethoven sonatas extremely well, but without personal passion= . To me, that becomes a yawn of a concert. Thanks for your insight.
