In front of me seven octaves. Eighty five keys. Fifty white and thirty five black.
And what is behind me? Above? Under? Beside? To learn this you need to play all scales which can be found within the chromatic scale. In all possible combinations. And there are plenty of them. Of scales and of combinations. How can we do this? Eliminating sounds one after another...
This is not the next book with a recipe for life: how to spend it and not get bored and get convinced it has a sense. This is the next attempt to answer the question what this world is like – is it like an old piano and practising on it all possible scales?
Well, this is quite normal book. Except the fact it is a vanishing book.
