So I was going through my usual whirl of daily Ruby news sites, and eventually my clickpath led me to a blog post by Dave Thomas wherein he unveils his first composition for piano. For those of you who don’t know, Dave Thomas is a well-known figure in the Ruby community, known for co-authoring Programming Ruby, one of the most popular books written about the Ruby programming language.
Well, reading the blog post piqued my curiosity because Ruby is my favourite programming language, and I’m also a pianist. So I examined the PDF of the piece, and thought that it didn’t look too difficult to play. I thought this might make a fitting next entry in my piano recording series.
So here I present my interpretation and rendition of Dave Thomas’ piece, For Thee. I took some liberties with tempo, as you can see by comparison with the recording linked in his blog post.
