Piano Can’t @#$% Fly


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!)
