Sometimes inspiration comes from taking something I'm familiar with and tweaking it slightly... or tweaking it to the point that the familiar 'thing' is no longer recognizable. When composing music, I often look around me at the music I like. Why do I like that particular piece? There are many treasures in any given song and it's with creative freedom that the musician expose the parts he/she likes by creating a piece based on the familiar song.
In this video, Jessica, plays for us Friedrich Burgmuller's Ballade; it's a familiar playful piece that Zach Brewer borrowed from to create his own composition. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, yes? Enjoy!
