She has returned to classical music after many years away: having studied piano with Hersh for a year when she was a Conservatory student, she pursued a career in tech after college, coming back to piano as part of her renewed music life as a composer and new music advocate.<\/p><p>\u201cI hadn\u2019t seen Paul in many years, I took a long time off of music after I finished my Masters with him, and it\u2019s been really nice to reconnect.\u201d<\/p><p>She says she now finds that her approach is different from his, because \u201cPaul is very score-based. Now that I\u2019m also a composer I know how much there is that can\u2019t be expressed in a score. I view music-making as much more a collaboration.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m very intimidated by piano music, simply because there\u2019s such a large body of work for piano, probably more than any other instrument, and so much has already been contributed. What can you say that\u2019s new? I still study piano music, and Ravel is one of those composers whose piano music is incredibly idiomatic. One of the things I love about his work is how well it lies underneath the hands. Even though he writes a lot of really difficult music, one always feels as though he really thought about the pianist.\u201d<\/p><p>Monica talked about working with Paul: \u201cHe\u2019s certainly a Renaissance man! He has many areas of interest in which he\u2019s achieved a high level of knowledge. One of the things I really appreciate about Paul, is his curmudgeonliness about piano music and playing the piano. He doesn\u2019t care how difficult a piece is or how well-regarded it is in the literature, or how much you\u2019ve struggled just to get the notes out of the instrument. It\u2019s very much an approach of, if it can be more musical, then let\u2019s try and make it more musical.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eed4774 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"eed4774\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4150319 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4150319\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div dir=\"ltr\"><p>I hope that you will join AMN\u2019s fourth and final session of the <strong>Piano Conversations<\/strong> series on May 11 as Paul and Monica explore one of the movements of Ravel&#8217;s <strong>Miroirs\u00a0<\/strong>in greater depth.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b7e940 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"8b7e940\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-357fce3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"357fce3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Learn more in this preview video!<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3b73b0 dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"b3b73b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/hprcADCvYnI&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea8845a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"ea8845a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8849cf5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8849cf5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a6823e5\" data-id=\"a6823e5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-151051e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"151051e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div dir=\"ltr\"><p><strong>ATTEND ONLINE<\/strong><\/p><p>Online participants will be part of the conversation, adding questions and comments in real time.
