Over forty years ago, my cousin gave me the sheet music for Robert Schumann’s Traumeri and said, “Here, learn this one,” or something to that effect. He may have have been twirling a pencil-thin moustache and had a bit of a twinkle in his eye as he handed me the innocent-looking two pages. Only recently have I practiced it to the point where I can finally play it from beginning to end with the music in front of me. It might take another forty years to memorize.
And I recently made naan for the first time. Mmm… pairs well with hummus.
