Dear Ms. Hewitt,
I am a clinical healthcare chaplain who works with the institutionalized, frail elderly. I use your CDs (such as I have) in my work with persons living with Alzheimer's and other dementias. A friend loaned me a DVD of you explaining Bach's WTC II. They were mesmerized and could follow you and the music to an unusual and extraordinary degree. One of the residents (a 93 year old female) asked "Who's that little girl playin' that piano?" And a gentleman (also with dementia), formerly a retired corporate executive who thinks we are always at a Board meeting--and who usually does not put sentences together--said after watching you and listening to the 24th Prelude and Fugue in B Minor from Book 2 (after I thought he was sleeping) "There is a God afterall". Miss Hewitt, I am writing this to say that your music (and Bach's) has touched a population you may not have been aware of.
