The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music
A teenage girl with forward-looking ideas, Lili Boulanger had enough determination to successfully navigate the competitive, patriarchal, and conservative music scene of Paris. Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

Help! I need to silence my piano!
on: November 15, 2009, 03:19:10 AM
I have an acoutic piano in my house. The problem is it's in the middle of the house, and everyone else can hear it. So, I can only play an hour a day :'(

Could someone tell me a good way to silence a piano? (I'm not aloud to put wood boards on the bottom)

Thanks!

Get a digital piano, and use that for the rest of the day. 

Move your accoustic to a place where it doesn't bother people so much.

Come up with an agreement with the people in your house: you have divided time to use the room.  Eg: 4 people live in a house, there are 24 hours in a day, In each day you are entitled to 28 hours of piano time  ;D reasonable me thinks.

Take a chainsaw or an axe and start chopping. That might silence him!

Digital piano and headphones. Add a keyboard amp and you can start playing gigs at your church or local pub.
