Check out this reharmonization/improv on Chopin. The guy was basically blind, hence the insane awareness of where the keys were.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Although I've listened to it a lot I wouldn't really describe the wall as beautiful, it's quite jarring in places. Comfortably numb is kind of beautiful. I'd choose dark side of the moon or wish you were here as beautiful though.
That’s fair. I really like the contrast. Dark side of the moon is nice, but it’s always left me wanting more.
Not to sound condescending, I found I grew out of The Wall, I think because it deals a lot with issues from childhood and rebelliousness. The themes of Animals (politics and how we relate to each other), Dark Side of the Moon ( sanity, the meaning of life and life after death) and Wish You Were Here (sanity, conformity) seem more relevant at the moment. Roger water obviously has this rebellious energy and anger where as Dave Gilmour is more reflective and creates beautiful art but without the same kind of passion. At the right time and with Richard and Nick, they made such a perfect combination.
