This is another testimony of Awesomeness. Much of what he does gets its drive from the strong

So let me summarize what I want to be able to play:

The repitive movements are quite beautyful, and it creates a great mood. Moreover, it has so much creativity and never loses its internal development. Great work: I wish one day I were able to do this.

  The smooth piano sound seems to be doable, I only need a teacher who guides me slowly into the matter. What I lack is the creativity of connections:
