Rigatoni and the Faeries Aire
I sat down to play something on the piano this morning, and I chose one of the less difficult pieces I have available. The sheet music was hidden away in my piano bench, along with very simple things like Beatles pieces and "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
I just breezed through this one, though when I came to the instruction "Rigatoni" halfway through the first page, I must admit I was unsure whether to speed things up or slow things down. I'm just plain unfamiliar with the "Rigatoni" notation.
If only I could play this wonderful piece for you here. You'll just have to imagine the beauty of it all and how incredibly well I play it.

I could play that in my sleep.
... and only in my sleep.
(Release the penguins!)
Haaaa! I can play half of the first line, maybe. But my piano teacher would have to sit right next to me the entire time.
You'd need more than your piano teacher for the second half. I think one of those 'chords' has over twenty notes in it.
(Like a dirigible!)
But I have 29 fingers, so I should be fine.
You play piano, I take it, Sushiboy. Any good?
I played as a lad and was pretty good for my age. Haven't really played in years. It's something that I'd like to pick up again after I graduate.
I encourage you to start playing again. Your kids look to their dad for guidance, and you may have a Mozart, Chopin, or, or, or Tori Amos on your hands.
