Many Famous Composers Played It Beautifully
It's the most famous of all musical instruments,
with shining black and white keys
that make beautiful sounds
to delight the composers' minds.
Many famous composers played it beautifully
in opera houses, schools and churches...
large audiences listened and admired their creativity
while their spirits soared to the Heavens!
Verdi and Mozart wrote from it as if they were lost in contemplation,
spending long hours, sometimes days, writing sumptuous melodies;
see a well-kept lead sheet of the times...
to get that feeling of awe and creation!
If many famous composers played it beautifully,
can I do the same and amaze others as they did?
It's always been a fantasy standing in front of a crowd,
but playing it to myself in a quite room it's pure ecstasy!
Today that musical tradition still continues
getting more popular than ever
and it's widely used in songs and symphonies;
I have tried it and learned it well.
Out of the few instruments I've played,
I prefer this one to compose as I play it...
its awesome feeling can't be matched
by any other means: it's so obsolete!
