I am beginning to work seriously on a major piece inspired by Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia. This piece of music is one of my most favourite. The pictures are wonderful...
I recommend it to you all.
Borodin's day job was being a chemist. He never gave it up because he din't think he was a good enough composer. I always find that really sad - his work was wonderful...
The painting will take rather a long time I fear but I intend to stick with it as it has been lurking inside my head for quite a while....It needs to see the light of day.
