I have watched it 4 times so far.
I liked one of his first statements about leadership and then the follow through: how it deftly opened the passageway to his leading the audience towards the doors and windows he wished him to go through.
(Much the way a good Dom and Master or as the point he makes, any good leader does.)
He illustrated his points and showed me things I did not have an awareness of and once shown were immediately recognizable... and then showed them in a different way... so that I could see them yet again.
He teased with a bit of sleight of hand (or in this case fingers upon ivory keys).
He did what any good leader does: TEACH using multiple modalities.
This was about so much more than music: this was about humanity.
I posted this here on these boards because this is an example of a master
at work. Of the 20 minutes I do not think there are 10 wasted syllables.
TED conferences are for people with exciting ideas to share them with each other.
He takes this room of 1600 experienced presenters and moves them from laughter
to tears, at will. He then leaves them feeling uplifted and enlightened while accepting
a standing ovation. Absolutely a master.
Not because he controls anyone's body with tools or implements. He controls
their minds and hearts with his wit, brains, knowledge, sensitivity and timing. They
yield to him because they know they are being guided by a master and they want the
experience. That is why so many have watched it so many times, because there
is so much there if you have what it takes to experience it.
One comment said that they had to watch it 4 times before they could not cry so
they could share it with their classes. Think of what it takes to do that; mastery.
I am delighted you have found so much there. I envy you that he is in your town.
Thank you for your insightful post.
