[Ophelia's Snorkel]

Muzio Clementi. Watching my mother play his sonatinas was the driving reason behind taking piano lessons. Of course, that opened up an entire world of composers that I came to love. It was four years before I was given Clementi as a recital piece, and I felt so fulfilled.


But the day I realised I'd hit puberty was the first time I saw Robert Smith. That is an entirely different feeling of obsession.
