    Every time I listen to him, I feel like I’m in a dream like state. Like there is something so familiar, as if I belonged to a world where time has passed and lived a different life.

      That’s because you do belong to that world.. this is not the world, this world is a classroom for our soul to learn.. but when we get done with school, we go home.. that is the home that Debussy channeled in his music. The very same home that you feel when you listen to him., we are all from that home, and it’s where will all return to one day. Some sooner than others ❤

      Not sure about hardest, but I always find the Baroque and Classical pieces to be the most difficult. There are a few Bach inventions at this level, and some of Mozart's Viennese Sonatinas, which I personally think are pretty challenging.
