This is a remarkable piece, Helen. An absolute delight to read and enjoy. It's funny how we spoke for nearly two hours upon our first encounter and barely spoke about music.
This is an amazing account well told! Oddly enough, I find it reminiscent of Patrick Rothfuss' Name Of The Wind and how he depicts the studentship of the keenly apt protagonist Kvothe.
It certainly hits upon the archetype of the sage and student.
Helen, WOW! This is so beautiful. It gave me goosebumps and I'm still quivering at the sound of your words filling the air in my room. This piece is spectacular. It has every element I could possibly want to read: the story, the pathos, the emotions, the insights, and the sound. Yes, the sound of this piece is just incredible. "Curiously, Marc thought my modest skills were an advantage. Because you have to play music with your mind, not with your fingers, he said." -- this left me speechless. I could go on and on here, but I don't want to clutter your comments section lol. Awesome, AWESOME piece! Thank you!
Helen, I hung onto every word of this piece. 🥹 Not uncharacteristic of your writing, but this piece took me deeper into your world. A beautiful tribute to your teacher, some of the most impactful people on our life journey, no matter the skill.
Although I’m not a musician, I enjoy music and recently saw an exhibit of Iannis Xenakis which opened my eyes to many forms of written music.

"Serve the music. Serve the art. Serve no man." Such a beautiful piece Helen! Thank you for sharing your incredible story =)
