PLEASE DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THIS HISTORIC PIANO
This pretty much makes people scared of the piano. Not only will they avoid putting anything on the historic piano, they won't play it, or even touch it. In admiration, a struggling musician may finger the music stand at the top, or the area just below the keyboard. However, no notes will be played. This is to the institute's benefit. Not one musician will dare play a note on this historic piano. What need is there for tuning? That's a lot of money they can save for tuning pianos that are actually used. Who cares if a C# becomes a G? No one's using it. But what happens if a daring young student touches a key? Presses down? Makes a sound? Finding out that playing a D will give you an A° chord would be quite surprising. It's such a historic and beautiful piano! How dare it be so out of tune and broken! To the relief and chagrin of the FIM, I'm the only one who knows.

I've always wanted to play that piano, but never dared. I suppose lightning will strike the person who dares breathe on it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I played it at Student Musicale and the C played some chord. It was most definitely three notes, and if Joey has trained my ear correctly, it was a diminished chord.
