Olga Scheps Embodies Chopin's Piano Concerto No 1, E-Minor

Olga Scheps embodies Chopin's Piano Concerto n° 1 For a pianist who ponders her prey The taming arms-length erect posture The torso and pulsating violin back encased in red-rich ornate coarse wrap Nape muscles strung by swaying grace-groomed arms branched aloft Pursed lips part for allegro romp Tensile gushed groin screaming on seat-edge flailing fingers Averse to sleek chord whale case under knee-cap check Who is the Master of the indomptable Mistress Does the script express and extend the actress's role Or trundled chords liberate hidden Polish voices yearning Cabriole on prairie pastures The yearling kicking high on the keyboard Startling the chevron-sinewed munching herd Light lambs and kids throwing frolicking fits Round and round the heifer humping high down the meadow Stung to the quick half-recurring bars of the theme The feline fauve now appeased by soft churning cuddles Pages of screwed signals hung on lined sign-posts Roused by nut-cracker knuckles Flush out repartee collective timbre strings Doused by the sweet-sweating triumphal orgiastic release The wilful eyes of the hungry panther Turn soft and pander to the prey Is this when the poised moment of the composed kill Misses the mark just once The sleek black whale bears its twinkling teeth in hollow rage © T.

Hi ! Robertina ! Greetings from Gaie Paree ! You are far too kind. I'd rather - I insist - you deal out such hyperboles to Chopin and, here, Olga Scheps. Just curious, did you take a listen to her performance of the piece? Wasn't that really way out? Only a masterpiece and a masterful performance could give such overwhelming pleasure. Thanks a million. Every good wish. Wignesan
