Am I reading this correctly?

lmaorofllollmao, don't take the replies to this post of yours too personal. The first few claims you've made here are very familiar to me, but to say that Emerson was doing a lot of random playing on a keyboard? That's just not right. You have to take into account the fact that Emerson's parents were wealthy enough to afford the classes that their son took, learning about all the technical stuff in theory and in practice. He became capable of synthesizing some serious ideas of classical and jazz music. Technicality can go overboard to the point of sounding random without actually being it.

Bottom line is: Emerson learns, loves, and lives like a progressive thinker, but you probably won't understand that even if you do find yourself deeply engrossed in musical studies.

There is nothing one human being cannot handle that another one can ... except the willingness to handle (if you are following me). And I do think about what I listen/am listening.
