...and sock away half the cash, buy a perfectly decent Steinway Model D with the rest, and *then* invite Marilyn Crispell or Ursula Oppens over to play on it.Or maybe Herbie Hancock or Chick Corea...but I'd have to hold a gun to their heads and force them not to play any lame shit: "Play like it's 1976 or I pull the trigger!"
Oh, wait, living or dead? Charles Ives, definitely. There's a recording of him playing & singing a rambunctious version of "They Are There" at some soirée that is perhaps the most mind-bogglingly *charming* sound ever associated with 20th Century western art music.
