Sixteen Things Piano Players Say or Think

So, for my eighth anniversary of being married to my piano, I thought I'd post this.  :) Enjoy!

16.  “What level are you in?” 
“Um…..I’ve been playing for eight years and I just finished Chopin’s Prelude in E Minor?”

15.  “What’s the name of that song by Bach?  You know, the one that goes, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh?”

14.  “Would you mind turning pages for me this weekend when I play for the quartet?”

13.  “Sorry, I can’t hang out.  I’m practicing.”

12.  “You thought I was kidding when I said I practice all day??”

11. *Person asks question while I’m playing the piano* “……….nnnnoooo……..”

10.  “Five…..SHARPS???!???!!!?!?!”

9.  “I swear I played that key.  For some reason the sound didn’t come out.”

8.  “Ahh, yes, this measure.  I’ve played it ten times every day for the past two weeks.  It sounds great now.”

7.  “Hold on, let me take my shoes off.”

6.  “The house is empty?  I hope the neighbors like Anton Dvorak’s Largo from the New World Symphony!”

5.  “….my brain forgot how to do this….but my fingers didn’t…”

4.  “Dang key changes.”

3.  “Dear vocalist: please come in on time – NOT TOO EARLY!!!!!”

2.  *Thinks back on life’s story* “….I just played that song perfectly….”

1.  “Music is my life.  There is nothing else I love quite as much as sitting down on a piano bench and playing my sorrows away.”
