Keith Emerson turned the keyboard to the main instrument, no-one before him couldn´t do that. He became the master of the Hammond and Moog, the mightiest player of them all. He took symphonic classical music to another level, he made classical to rock´n´roll. "Pictures at an Exhibition" (March 1971) is a live recording rock version from Modest Mussorsky´s symphony, its Blue Variations section adds extra drama to this quite incredible performance of a simple rock group.
I will play Intermezzo from Karelia (Sibelius) and Jerusalem in his memory.
Keith, after all your work there´s no more pain, now you have peace.
Thank you for the music.
