The Nightingale by HCA A personal essay regarding the allegory of Andersen's Nightingale. When your skills are not appreciated, maybe it's not your ability, but the audience that cannot recognize the artistry presented. After two weeks of unremitting effort, I transformed an ancient cassette of a recital into a CD and realized the truth of Andersen's story. The audince and peanut gallery may want the mechanical, but it's not realistic and it's also not artistic. The tape hiss has nothing to do with the singer's control or technical capacity and many are deluded into thinking that sound engineering is music.
