Hi Kato,
My music lovin' Taliesin,
How nice to hear from you.
It's odd timing you should ask about my piano lessons ~ just half-hour or so ago had my Thursday lesson; doing them every second Thursday now.
Now if only I could find enough time to practise. Well, maybe there's time, but guess I've got to find the desire to practise more. Egads!
My teacher is a lot of fun and a good teacher as well.
He works out at the same gym as I do, so he's always bugging me about practising.
He says "if only you could develop the same love for the piano as you have for the gym, things would really start progressing".
But, hey, you can't force it, I guess.
My piano teacher looks more like a playboy muscleman than a piano teacher, but can he ever play beautifully.
You may have heard of him.
Sometimes my piano teacher plays down the street from the library at the Italian Restaurant & Piano Bar---Ciao Bella.

He rarely agrees to teach, so guess I'm lucky.
I do like the piano, a lot really, but I'm not passionate about playing.
Getting a wee bit better as time goes on, I guess.
Guess you thought I just started with the violin as well, but actually I've been playing rather regularly since 2004 ... having learned to play piano when I was young and then at around 12 yrs old switching to the violin which I played for about 3 years or so .. obviously, though, I'm much better on the violin, just because I've been at it longer.
Not good enough to teach, that's for sure.
A long way to go, kiddo! :)

Thanks for the Sarah Chang's "Zigeunerweisen."
It was lovely.
Thanks also for reminding me of "The Piano".

I remember seeing it but had forgotten it was Holly Hunter who played the violinist .. 1993 - holy cow!
When I finish this e-mail, I'm going to go straight to VPL and reserve the DVD to see again.
It certainly was a fabulous creative movie.
Reminds me also that in my earlier days, folks used to tell me that I looked like Holly Hunter .. sort of the fine features I guess .. don't hear it any more.
Thanks again, Kato,
Going to see "A Dangerous Method" tomorrow.

The movie is about the relationship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung and one of their mutual patients who has an affair with Jung.
It should be fascinating; wordy most likely, but fascinating nevertheless.
...hope you're doing well and getting out and getting lots of exercise,
Love, Diane ~
Diane, did you see "A Dangerous Method"?
Yes, I did.
How did you like it?
Well...quite interesting, but more shocking than I expected.
Oh...in what way?
You see, Kato... I'm always trying to be open-minded, but while I was watching the movie, I thought Sabina Spielrein---a patient and a heroine---went too far...too far beyond my understanding.
A Dangerous Method
(danger03.jpg)
A Dangerous Method is a 2011 historical film directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley and Vincent Cassel.
The screenplay was adapted by Academy Award-winning writer Christopher Hampton from his 2002 stage play The Talking Cure, which was based on the 1993 non-fiction book by John Kerr, A Most Dangerous Method: the story of Jung, Freud, and Sabina Spielrein.
The film marks the third consecutive and overall collaboration between Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen (after A History of Violence and Eastern Promises).
This is also the third Cronenberg film made with British film producer Jeremy Thomas, after completing together the William Burroughs adaptation Naked Lunch and the J.G. Ballard adaptation Crash.
A Dangerous Method was a German/Canadian co-production.
The film premiered at The 68th Venice Film Festival and was also featured at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
Plot
Set on the eve of World War I, A Dangerous Method is based on the turbulent relationships between Carl Jung, founder of analytical psychology, Sigmund Freud, founder of the discipline of psychoanalysis, and Sabina Spielrein, initially a patient of Jung and later a physician and one of the first female psychoanalysts.
