I love the piano. Usually I just improvise with certain scales, but even when I'm playing a piece written by someone else, my style will always sound different to anyone else's. No two people play any one piece the exact same way. Even the way I play my own piece changes from day to day. That endless fluidity and individuality is one of the things I love best about music.

Like dingus I also love to solve problems. I love that "ah-hah" moment when you formulate a method, then begin to go through the process, running through each step like a machine until the answer reveals itself. Then you look back at your work and think "Wow, I actually managed to do it!"

Unfortunately though, there'll always be problems where no matter how hard you try you just can't quite seem to get it. Those are just incredibly frustrating.
