Writing piano music

Today, after more than 15 years away from writing and playing music, I started re-transcribing a piece called Children's Concerto. It's a rock/classical song for piano and drums that I initially transcribed and performed way back in my highschool talent show with a drummer friend. We took 1st place.

There are relatively few songs and artists that inspire me to play the piano. Really. Instead, most of the music that moves me seems to come from the guitar. And thus my current desire to learn and sing along with it.

Sometimes I think I didn't get enough exposure to good piano stuff. To the stuff that really appealed to me. I just got the standard classics, although there were undoubtedly nice pieces that I enjoyed in the bunch. Still, i guesss it wasn't enough inspiration for me.

So thank goodness I took a listen to Children's Concerto again. It makes me conscious of where I can take this talent, even though it's waaay years later, as I know I shouldn't throw such a gift away.
