Edward preferred classical music where time passed in predictable increments and decades of following the notation trapped between bar lines on a stave and fingering ivory keyboards allowed him virtuosity and a composer's insight.
But Edward never appreciated the ability to stroke a finely tuned key with the barest pressure required to produce sound or with the force to fill the rafters until he began to think of practicing as something he did with Bella. In that regard, Edward aspired, with utmost restraint, to master diatonic scales before moving to the ostinato duets and the sweeping crescendos of a Bach cantata.
