Playing around

A few days ago, I found myself on the most sweltering day inside Steinway Hall to have a look see at the pianos. Now, for those who have a passing acquaintance with me, the piano is something that I play around on every chance I get.  I have a keyboard at home, but that is so different as to be another instrument altogether!  Well, the main reason that I did so on that day was to meditate on an upcoming music composition which I was invited to contribute for a French exhibition.  It was rather difficult to find an instrument suitable for my needs because two of the larger rooms were closed to the public, and only the two smaller rooms on the first floor were available for fiddling about. This was hindered further by several of the pianos on show being the lesser models (that is, those without the Steinway moniker). Despite the disappointment, I was able to find one all right piano which served its purpose and I had the simple joy of playing for a little while all by myself and for myself.
