Who is Philip Glass?

Philip Glass was someone who I looked at when creating my music piece. I listened how he played the music by listening when he was using the sustain pedal and also how he used short phrases to create long pieces of music. I was inspired by Philip Glass because his music is brilliant, I loved how smooth it was and how much it flowed the whole way through.
