piano in black

When I was in primary school, I took the school bus that ferried me from my home to school. Every morning without fail, after picking peasant-class tricia from her 3-room hillview hdb estate, it will then trudge through high-class estates along bt timah road. The bus went deep into the estates where all the gigantic houses are located. Those were mammoth-sized compared to our humble 3 room flat.

Vivid in my memory after 2 decades is this majestic black grand piano placed right at the front living hall of a house. The house had full length glass windows which allowed people to marvel at the furnishings. The piano stood with grandeur at the entrance, a centerpiece that cannot be missed by any visitors of the house. The cold white marble floor contrasted starkly to the timbre piano’s black.

The presence of the piano awed me and I have secretly resolved that one day, if I own a place huge enough to house a grand piano, I would place it in exactly that manner too. (the photo on the left which I found on gettyimages looks pretty much like what I saw in the house)

This little dream dwindled away over the years as I stopped piano classes and playing in the church band. recently,Dearie sparked my interest to play the piano again. now that I am playing again.. this dream of owning a grand piano..placing it in my home as a centerpiece is once again rekindled.

Ahh and yes, piano ,in any colour other than black, is a mistake. To tricia, pianos should all exist in BLACK, because no other colour brings out the grandeur of a piano better. =)
