Thanks, Marcia, I am glad that the illustrations conveyed some joy of making music!
Sharon, thanks for singling out this image for detailed commentary that makes me see it in a new way. That is a good point, that the keys are keys that let you out rather than in. It's interesting that the wall and the keys felt like a barrier and maybe that has to do with the fact that to get to that fluidity of music, we have to learn to use those keys, which can be difficult but well worth the effort! But music has structure as well as fluidity, pictured there for me as a keyboard architecture for the apartment building where I used to live and started to learn to play piano and maybe began to dwell not just in a building but in music as well. Thanks again for your comments!
