Product Description
Solitude
is Oneself: Three piano pieces:
1 Never
Underestimate the Difficulties of Simple Things
2 Too Much
But Still Not Enough
3 Waiting
for Perfection is Waiting Forever
Tranquil, relaxing, "chill",
minimalist, expressive music for solo piano.
You can "use" this music for
meditation, study, learning, sleeping, relax or praying.
The phrase where
the title (Solitude is Oneself)
comes from belongs to Javier Adúriz (1948-2011), Argentine poet, one of
my best teachers and friends (the original Spanish reads "La soledad es uno mismo").
Don't
see any negative aspects in Solitude. In Spanish there is only one word for
Solitude and Loneliness (namely "Soledad"). Loneliness is a state of
isolation, without dialog, feeling abandoned and without external points of
reference. But I conceive Solitude as a highely creative state, in which one is
faced to what one actually wants to achieve, with one's thoughts, with one's
self.
Never
Underestimate the Difficulties of Simple Things. Lots of times I have seen
this in several persons - and in myself: when something is simple, easy and
uncomplicated, we tend to underestimate it too much and its hidden difficulties
end up tackling us. We leave to the last moment a text that seems easy to
learn, and we do not assimilate it as we could. Or a chess game that is
(really) won, but we feel over-confident, we play with superficiality, we make
slight mistakes one after the other and loose control of the situation.
This
title can be understood as self-referent: this particular piano piece seems to
be simple... until you try to perform it really well and record it.
About the ArtWork / Cover Art of Solitude
is Oneself:
It shows a human face (concretely the composer's)
faced simmetrically to its silhouette, in black. This illustration alludes to
the title: Solitude is Oneself. Is oneself (the person) facing his own
solitude, his internal misterious being. A real human facing his own shadow. It
is not a negative shadow: is the shadow of which Shamanism speaks, the own
shadow from where one draws strength.
The music is dedicated to Mr. Cadmiel Pérez from República Dominicana.
