I wrote whole revolutions for the piano and still had people asking why I wouldn’t play louder like a circus act. by Frédéric Chopin

George, I am literally doing stage presence while he is doing ghost presence.

Some of us can fill a hall without whispering at the keys, Frederic.

And some of us need a hall because subtlety would expose the costume.

Call it what you want, the audience still left humming my melodies and your profile.

Both of you are exhausting, but only one of you required candles, silence, and emotional support to finish a nocturne.
