There are two kinds of pianists.
There are some pianists who play not because they enjoy it, but because their parents
force them to take lessons. Then there are those who play the piano because it
pleases them to create music. They don??™t need to be forced; on the contrary, they
sometimes don??™t know when to stop.
Of the latter kind, there are some who play the piano as a hobby. Then there are
those who play for a living. That requires a whole new level of dedication, skill, and talent.
They may have some degree of freedom about what genre of music they play and
the stylistic choices they make in playing it, but fundamentally those choices are
driven by the needs of the employer or the tastes of the audience.
Of the latter kind, there are some who do it primarily for the money. Then there
are those professionals who would want to play the piano in public even if they weren??™t
being paid. They enjoy using their skills and talents to make music for others. That
they can have fun and get paid for it is so much the better.
Of the latter kind, there are some who are self-taught, who ???play by ear,??? who
might have great talent and ability but cannot communicate that intuitive understanding
to others except through the music itself.
