Poor grand piano ... so much baggage! |
I'm guessing this image from the cover of the Faber Piano Adventures lesson book series is meant to impart a sense of adventure through music and the piano.
However, when I first laid eyes on the book in my piano pedagogy class all I could see was a cursing piano!
If you were a huge, bulky grand piano trying your best to get off the ground but having little success despite your large, swan-like wings, wouldn’t you get frustrated?
I suppose your consolation is that since you’re a piano, whatever you express is arguably musical, and so is your cursing.
(No disrespect to the Fabers!)
