I've Done This Myself. A Real Biting Tone.

I've done this myself. A real biting tone.

The Pianist

That is a piano all right. Saw duty not just in that N.D. church, I'll wager, but along other routes less civil but more civilized as well. Some forensic examination of the wood would be instructive. I'll bet there's blood (and much else) on there. Spat a tat tat. The cat in the hat. Play it like that.

Waldorf, 2008 This piano is from an old church in North Dakota. Now a remnant of an age long gone, the music may be silent but the ornate workwork is still a beauty to behold.

This Marlene photograph is a dead ringer for my mother when she was that age. Without the costume, beret, sophisticated attitude, and super-tweaked eyebrows of course. But that's Mom, all right. She never had a discoverer. And wasn't one herself.

All scores should contain a topography.

Every bookstore should have a piano. Even if hidden.

Ah yes I remember this one. I first saw this score in 1978 when my teacher was preparing the full 1st volume for a lecture-recital. Kwazy.
