Piano Genius

Every pianist is a genius at least once a year. However, piano legends can repeat original piano ideas with regularity. The assignment of a pianist is to play new piano excerpts, combinations and passages that people have never heard before...each time they play.

 

Pianist usually play all the borrowed keyboard rhythm, melody and harmony that they can musically conceive. When a pianist plays, they are limited to what they know about rhythm, melody and harmony. Pianist play the piano rhythm, melody and harmony they know. However, a pianist can not play everything they need to know.  Music Theory contains all the music you need to know about the rhythmic, melodic and harmonic possibilities.

 

The music assignment of every musician is to document their original music ideas and persuasions. Piano sheet music documents the theoretical, styles, and historical possibilities of the keyboard. Johann Sebastian Bach documented his music lessons for his piano students. The Johann Sebastian Bach Two and Three Part Inventions, are a collection of thirty short keyboard compositions composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. They were written by Bach as exercises for the musical education of his students.

 

When God wanted to document His thoughts and persuasions, He wrote a book...the bible. Throughout history documented written music and musicians have ruled. Some pianist are limited and subject to the oral piano tradition. Other pianist are limited to the sheet music.

 

Pianist do not inherently know the music protocol for entering in the presence of God. We can not assume that the musicians that play by ear or know music theory have an intimate relationship with God. Many pianist have familiarized themselves with the music oral tradition that accompanies the preaching chords, praise team, choirs, congregation and soloist. But, they do not know God. In addition they are unaware of the music protocol that allows entrance into Gods presence. Music study requires:

  • Intimate relationship with God

  • Regular fellowship with the Holy Spirit

  • Growth in music wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and   music mentors

No musician knows the protocol for entering Gods presence except the Spirit of God bring revelation. Jesus said "No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him." John 6:44 (Amplified Bible) 44No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day.

 

Perhaps the greater consideration is the creation of new piano passages by any oral and music document necessary. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (The Message) Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it!

 

The music protocol in the presence of God produces a miracle. Whenever God allowed the evil spirit to trouble Saul, David played the harp and Saul was refreshed and the evil spirit departed.

 

Lord give  me the courage and the willingness  to play the combinations of  new music  passages  people have never heard before each time I play. Lord give me a myriad of real genius with original piano excerpts, passages and ideas this year.
