P for PIANO


A gift for the musical world, a precious for a musical lover. Composed by 52 white notes, and 36 black notes, have formed 7 octaves, plus a minor third.


"Pianos are such noble instruments - they're either upright or grand." ~ Author Unknown

Place your fingers on the keyboard, and the feet on the pedals. Feel it, feel the spirit within it.
Slowing pressing it, listen, listen to the gentle voice of it, "do, re, mi, fa..."



"I always make sure that the lid over the keyboard is open before I start to play"~ Artur Schnabel, Australian pianist, when asked the secret of piano playing.


From Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel; from Joseph Haydn, to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Van Beethoven; and again we have Fryderyk Chopin, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. We are always not alone....




"No other acoustic instrument can match the paino's expressive range, and no electric instrument can match its mystery."~Kenneth Miller


From baroque, to classical; when the romantic starts, the 20th century followed. All the time, all the moments, the spirits never end...

Luckily, we have great pianist to keep the pieces alive...


Piano,

is the most ROMANTIC instrument...
