A suonare il pianoforte si impara. E lo studio del pianoforte, come un’arte marziale, può insegnare ben di più che una sequenza di movimenti e gesti. Insegna a conoscersi più profondamente, ad accettarsi e a dominare le proprie paure. A entrare in risonanza con il mondo e scoprirsi capaci di stupire e sedurre.
