I get a moment this photo of the friend Eddy. It was the afternoon of the day I played my little Scarlatti, beginning in July, the keyboard was dry and I had taken a huge foot (but the hands were not available) to repeat on this beautiful Pleyel, for an audience of cicadas perfectly indifferent (repeated themselves - something the U.S. no doubt, minimalist and a bit boring). You will notice that the owner of the instrument was somewhat customized, it is not very nice (but very practical), and the feeling of being in command of a powerful race car (it does is unclear, but the metal side bars make the seat attached to the piano) not unpleasant, paradoxically, for a bagnolophobe like me (I can not drive (I was told that in some exalted moments piano progressed, I 'I felt nothing)).

During January, Centennial Park will host a public piano as part of Sydney Festival’s Play Me, I’m Yours! The piano will be decorated by Park Rangers and community volunteers and will remain in the Park for three weeks to be played by anyone and everyone who would like to have a go.
