Talking "Raindrop" prelude by Chopin...

This is from the most recent Sunday morning concert on the back lawn at a piano camp for youngsters called Summer Sonatina (that is now in its 40th season!)

There's something almost decadent about piano music filling the great outdoors. Maybe there's always inherently something festive about music outside... I tend to think when you can feel the soft breezes blow... and great, rolling piano chords washing over you, at the same time, that's like extra special. Then-- it's my job, who am I kidding!

Joel, you should be a real estate agent.

Describing this sound and playing as above, when it is actually a completely out of tune Winifred Atwell piano in desperate need of a box of matches to put it out of its misery, badly played, fistfulls of wrong or missed notes from a player with no sense of rhythm or phrasing, and a recorded sound that is way too close, is pushing the truth.

But it was the shattering applause at the end that made me laugh the most.

In Amazon.com: Bad Or, the Dumbing of America: Paul Fussell: Books, Paul Fussell defines "bad" as when there is a huge gulf between what something is said to be and what it actually is.

What is the purpose of this post?
