Marty Owens Poet Quatern

Who Played Chopin? I Did!

Who played Chopin on piano?
Fantasie-Impromptu much blithe.
Was so fast like when the winds blow.
Runs, magically came to life.
 
The Christmas party gave great joy.
Who played Chopin on piano?
For every little girl and boy.
There even sang a soprano.
 
The piano was intaglio.
Ornamented on the surface.
Who played Chopin on piano?
Making carved figures seem to race.
 
Pianos are such lovely things.
Melodious as the white snow.
The many strings are made to ring.
Who played Chopin on piano?
