I've had a passion for the piano since age four, when my mother began teaching me. Pianos allow me to express a full range of emotions, but each is unique and demands specific attention to achieve the desired expression. The collage uses photos of a restored 1898 Steinway B and a 2010 Fazioli F228, two wonderful but entirely different instruments. The Steinway B, introduced in 1878 (with 88-note keyboard since 1891), is still being made. Fazioli introduced their pianos in 1981, and they are considered among the finest made today. Both are a joy to play. Here they blend in a furnace of passion and desire.
