Dude, you left out an option that says "I want to keep adding to my piano harem if I could." ;D

they'd wonder and think you were crazy until you introduced them to your petrov, or steinway, or bose, or fazioli.  yes. that's my other dream.

the human voice is really the most resonant, to me.  but, the piano is second best.  it IS a voice - but performers give it the personality.  i suppose - it's a fantasy relationship because the piano only says what you want it to say.  maybe that's why we love the piano.  when we are not happy (or happy), hurting, or need consolation.  of course, a big hug or a shoulder to cry on are not so bad, but if you need an hour or two of that  - the piano is better.  plus, you feel so m uch better afterwards.  it's like the piano gives you back who you are.  my self-worth sometimes is built around my attachment to the piano - but it shouldn't be.  i feel like i need a certain amount of 'alone' time with it to feel in my right mind.  having some more piano lessons would help my frame of mind, too.  why doesn't money grow on trees?

Hmm, is polygamy an option?   :o

I'm quite happy with mine at the moment, but what about Miss. Bose, or Fazioli, or A. Forster?

It is always naked, it asserts there are no garter belts of proper size.

I was gone for a week and hugged my Petrof baby grand when I got home...
It freaked out my cousin a bit.

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

“He has everything and more – tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” as Martha Argerich once said of Daniil Trifonov. To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
