Nice emoticon at the end. Did you do that on purpose?

Hulk shouldn’t play piano, at least not until he knows his own strength.. lol. Beautiful, yet violent at the end.

That story was written about me, right? My biceps need to calm down sometimes. But good job anyways.

x-ninja made the above comment. ugh isnt he so immature? tsk tsk.. this story is a masterpiece of literature

MBTM : That’s not an emoticon. It’s what marks the end of a musical piece: two vertical lines, and in this case, a repeat sign (in case you want to read it again; sneaky, eh?). Look for it at the very end of a song:

So it marks the end of the ficlet.

A rhythm emerging, coalescing, swelling, receding, but omnipresent now.

That’s a nice vocabulary lesson for ya!

And that is one mad pianist… I can’t even chip the keys, and I’ve tried! And putting a music symbol at the end is genius.

Great job describing in words a very dramatic musical scene. Almost makes me wish I would have stuck with piano lessons. Almost.

I don’t do music, so I wouldn’t know. Sorry stevie!

Nice job mirroring the emotions of a player of swelling music with the physicality of the musician’s effect on his instrument. Not to date myself, or pull away from this great piece on classical music, but it reminds me of the Meatloaf piece where he destroys his guitar in front of his father.

I was being curious, and as a classical pianist myself, I was captured by this. The repeat sign at the end was wicked sneaky, but really clever.
And as far as breaking the piano… pianos weren’t as strong as they are now. Liszt only played one kind of piano because the strings wouldn’t break when he played them!
