In this interview Oscar Peterson talks about the role of the left-hand. It is clear that different considerations have to be made depending on the context. For example, within an ensemble setting the left-hand has a minimal role: The drums provide the rhythm and the double bass plays in the range where the left hand plays. Within a solo setting, the left-hand must accomodate for this. Peterson then gives examples of left-hand styles. This is valuable as the inclusion of the left hand is vital in my method.
