[April 2005 journal entry]
My appreciation for the music training/experience I received in my youth (e.g., piano, trombone, baritone, trumpet, guitar) has grown steadily during my adult years. In recent years, I have arranged to be tutored in music theory/composition (which had been a minimal part of my music training). The reason – as the importance of photography has matured for me into my most valuable spiritual exercise over the last several years, my desire to catch the subtle as well as obvious indications of Dietrich’s being a pianist (i.e., being ‘musical’) in his life and thought has grown.
