How true, my two examples;
1-How would it be possible to feel what the person who wrote the song was feeling when he was writing the song--interpitation.
2-If were possible, the well trained clasical musician should sound great when he plays pop music. This is normally the case, even though his reading abilities are excelent.
I said to my friend,"Music makes you feel good". In his friendly he replied,"No John, music makes you feel, period".
On that note --opps---My Dad was a clasical/pop piano player---boy, could he read music. Now I know he had to have read and studied many of the pieces he played---but I never saw a sheet of music on the piano when he was playing for people.
Both methods of playing music must be applauded. One is so helpful and guides us, on the others adds so much of the emotion.
Enjoy playing in any way you wish it's all fun. John C.
