Just to add, i'm not on Mr Nasseri's level, but it is never too late, it will be like riding a bike for you! You will be surprised how quickly your fingers will allow pick up pieces you last played - I would suggest the Hanon Exercise book, it has a yellow cover, and it says Concert Pianist on the front - I think these exercises are good - but you also can just practice scales, for free w/o having to buy books. Scales, Thirds, Octaves, Chromatic, Trills etc.

Another exercise book, although I am biast, it is called the Russian Technical Regimen, that should whip anybody into shape lol :D Also, get a metronome, it is a good practicing, sometimes, annoying, but very useful practicing buddy.

good luck!! it's never too late to unleash, rather, re-release your amazing-ness :)

Many people have asked me if I enter into "another world" when I play piano - do this sort of thing happen for you? Do you enter into another world?

I am not sure if I can say that I enter into another world, like some outer body experience, that's pretty crazy, while playing the piano, but I will say that when really engaged with the music, my mind, I guess is completely immersed in the musical experience - this usually happens when I am listening to a really beautiful piece, like Sospiri Op. 70 by Edward Elgar. :) I wish this experience could happen more often, but school distracts me from having the time for this.

Who are your favourite composers from the following eras: Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionistic, Contemporary? :)

OMG I have to ask: when it comes to piano concerti, do you feel like you, the pianist, is, overall, the accompanist to the orchestral melodies, or do you feel like the orchestra is accompanying you?

almost forgot to ask this - slipped my mind earlier.

Ahhh, a true artist, indeed! Your elephant one is quite compelling - i think that is the right word - it's wonderful!!! Hope your art gets the media attention it deserves, soon enough ^{_^} i am also into sustainability/renewable energy/environmentalism!! way to go! way to incorporate so many elements you think about, in one piece!! I used to draw as a kid, but nothing like this could I ever imagine drawing, even if I went to school for drawing - so, well done, mon ami.

cheers
