An off-topic thank you for your concert with Joshua Bell in Bloomington last week– it was a delightful break from dissertating. Looking forward to your concert here next month and to hearing the Hammerklavier.

Well Thank you, but this is the first time I’ve left a response!

Hope you survived our MidWest freeze. Last weekend was horrible!

The other day
saw you at the Ordway.
As the mighty north winds blew
it was so cold my face nearly turned blue.

Starbucks was down the block -
hope you found it and weren’t frozen on the sidewalk
Must say watching you perform – you rock.
It looked as though I could almost see you and the piano talk.
Were the thoughts pure and delightful or evil and menacing?
Such as pushing Josh and his violin off stage so you could take center stage
or was it to make plans after the show to take piano out dancing?
Hopefully you didn’t have such thoughts of rage.

Prokofiev, Dvorak, Saint Saens and Tartini
Whew, after the show you must have needed an Appletini
or maybe the fabled rice crispie treat?
Come to the Twin Cites again, maybe I’ll see you on the street.

I believe Kalamazoo, MI may prove to be just the place you need to throw down with Stephen Hough, at the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. My rose-free back yard, just minutes from several venues, is spontaneously generating mud pits right now.

I think both of you need to read a little book called ‘One Finger Too Many.’

I am currently watching a live broadcast of streaming video of you performing with Joshua Bell at the IU JSOM. This is my “fan mail”—what a beautiful performance! I only wish I could have been there, instead of at home, but the tickets were “sold out,” though not sold, given out completely before I could blink.
Oh well, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the performance. Now it’s time to go back to studying…no more beautiful music to encourage my procrastination.

Well… Is there a chance that Mr. Hough will be in town around the same time you’ll be playing at Zankel Hall next season? Zankel seems like the appropriate venue for such an event. Maybe the “pianist vs. pianist poetry slam smackdown” could comprise your encore(s). Or, at the very least, part of your program notes or an insert.
