Rick’s childhood piano teacher, Mrs Symes, taught him that musicians with instruments are like an artist with paint; something that Rick carried through his life, creating sonic paintings through his composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWakeman says: “One of my great loves is going to museums \u0026amp; art galleries \u0026amp; seeing all the different types of art, so I thought, why not a music gallery ?… A Gallery Of The Imagination ? People can paint their own mind pictures to the different types of music that are on the album. It is very diverse \u0026amp; for me it works very well because the concept holds it all together”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as you might find a vast array of styles in an art gallery, Wakeman presents a plethora of musical aesthetics throughout the record. Inspired by the menagerie he created; Rick recalled the advice of his beloved teacher \u0026amp; has presented these tracks as pictures in a gallery; A Gallery Of The Imagination. Amongst the many clear prog influences \u0026amp; soaring Moog solos, Wakeman treats the ears to two solo piano numbers, which reflect Rick’s classical roots \u0026amp; his particular love of the romantic period.
