The title is a wonderful play on words in my opinion. A Still Life in the Art world is any image of a non-moving arrangement (although the Dutch would sometimes include an animal), but a still life can be a life stopping and sitting still...like listening to this music asks us to. Or to even make it more interesting in my brain...Life, Still
Thank you, Phyllis, for introducing me/us to this exquisite pianist! There is something about the purity of his music that strips away all need for words, for explanations, for distraction. Indeed relaxing but even deeper, to a level of clarity or truth, like seeing a crystal clear stream or rainbow or cloud-shrouded mountain. These are nature images that also point to truth.

I too see a double entendre in the title. But you opened the meaning even wider for me! Thanks.

A sweet, clear reflection, Judith—you describe the music so well! Thank you.
Relaxing, and so lovely.
I so love his music.
