If you do not love Chopin,

[Byron In Exile]

then I suppose we cannot be friends.

I will hold you in regard, and speak well of you, but our relationship ends here.

And things were going so well.

 

[Byron In Exile]

There is no more expressive musical instrument than the piano.

And there is no greater master of that instrument than Frédéric Chopin.

 

[Byron In Exile]

And things were going so well.

I know, right?

 

[Byron In Exile]

And things were going so well.

You were just about to tell me how you lost your balls.

So what happened, there?

 

[Byron In Exile]

Some sort of industrial accident?

Zamfir plays a mean pan flute. Granted, you don't blow into a piano, and if you did, you would look ridiculous.

When I was studying music in college one of the piano professors did an all Chopin recital. I think it was 1991. It is still one of the greatest musical performances I've ever witnessed. It was truly moving.

Slice, right into the water hazard.

Sure, if expression occurs in immutable half-steps.

LOMFL.

I was a kidlet when my piano teacher noticed I could reach a tenth.

He handed me a book of Chopin preludes.

And I was, like, "too many notes..."

He said, "one measure at a time."

Are you pimping John Cage again?

Quiet. No one wants the opinion of an actual piano player.

No. PM me if you want it.

Exactly.

That's very Zen. Do you still play?

I'm not a piano player. I own a couple, but my training is in percussion.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

No. PM me if you want it.

Tease.

 

[CHNOPS]

Are you pimping John Cage again?

Was there a first time?

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Close enough.

PM me. No more fuel for this silly buzz-saw.

I hate when they go underground. Light a fire. We'll smoke 'em out.

And burn the piano too.

If only you lot could maintain my interest.

Oh, well.

Oh, well.

If only there were a bulb in the light socket.
