about

It was said to me once by pianist John Gittins: “the goal of studying music theory and practice is to make your instrument disappear.” In other words, to know your instrument and the various ways of approaching it’s playing so well that it ceases to be a hindrance to musical expression and fulfills its function as a tool through which to express.
