Your music doesn't cease to amaze me Nik. What you're doing is truly groundbreaking, and I feel lucky to be alive to witness it. Such complex simplicity, such subtlety. Exquisite music, beyond words. Thank you.

[@nikbaertsch]

Thank you too. A pleasure to share ideas, attitudes and music with you. Stay inspired!

[@Gurkenklemme]

Diese Musik ist hat einfach einen gewissen flow der perfekt ist!

[@nikbaertsch]

Der gewisse Flow - das ist das Ziel, natürlich und fokussiert. Danke für das Feedback.

[@petermarsh4578]

Astonishing focus, not to mention the physical precision!

[@nikbaertsch]

Thanks Peter: the mix of focus, precision and relaxed and open presence is so interesting in the performing arts. Always a fruitful challenge!

[@bEoNeartHmusiC]

Wow, was für eine geniale Pianoperformance, einfach nur zuhören und fliegen, ich wünschte ich könnte auch so spielen, habe direkt mal einige CDs und die Noten geordert, wunderbar, danke schön!!

[@nikbaertsch]

Danke für das tiefere Interesse und den Kommentar. Die Solo-Platte ENTENDRE und der Solo-Score laden zu eigenen Klavier-Erkundungen ein 🫵🏻🎹👌🏻😉

Danke, das Klavier ist ja ein metaphysisches Orchester und hat weit mehr Klänge und Farben zu bieten als wir normalerweise hören.

@@carrot64954 Thank you for your feedback. Your way is very fruitful and deep, so my way of training and practicing piano is a mix of physical and mental focus. I train that also with the martial art Aikido, following the Iwama style with sensei Lewis Bernaldo de Quiros.

​​@@nikbaertsch Yeah I saw some of your martial art performances, the level of physical control you can maintain during the performances is mind-boggling (likewise how you can control 'sound' and 'listen' skilfully)
