After listening to Debussy's piano music (for the first time due to personal prejudices against the piano), I shall take back to some extent what i said about pianos being inferior to other more advanced modes of music making such as the orchestra.

The writing of piano music is an art in itself, something that i cannot grasp fully... how the use of a notes of a single unchangeable tone colour, incapable of the subtle nuances and dynamic flexibilities of string and wind instruments, can be strung together in long lines which make sense.
