Not only are you a capable composer, you're an equally capable arranger and paraphraser! These abilities are nothing to sneeze at! Some of history's greatest virtuoso pianist composers, such as Beethoven, Liszt, Bartok and Rachmaninov, were great improvisers, arrangers and paraphrasers! Consider yourself privileged to have joined their ranks and to have the opportunity to measure up to their standards - and also I'm sure you already know plenty about one Ferdinand Lamotte, better known as Jelly Roll Morton, one of the very first jazz pianists to make a living solely on his musical talents. He could literally play ANYTHING!!! - could literally improvise on ANYTHING!!! So, in his younger years, could the immortal Eubie Blake, who had the honor of meeting and befriending Rachmaninov.
