(I’m the weird guy who came up and shook your hand before the concert started.) I enjoyed your piece and look forward to hearing it again. I’m sure it will be performed elsewhere as it is indeed very Telemann-like (to my uneducated ear).

I knew Sam mostly in his church persona, as elder, exquisite pianist and quiet jokester. It was good to have you show us more.

It is a comfort to know that nothing, and no one, is ever wasted in God’s scheme.

He associated colors with pitches, and claimed to see colors when hearing music. The Scriabin article in Wikipedia, about halfway down, discusses it; that’s a good place to start if you’re interested. Thanks for writing!

As a fan of music (but as a poor musician myself), I was never quite sure how his system works. All the same, Scriabin was quite the interesting character.
