Piano keyboard that is. I have a thing running through my head that probably won't stop until I either play it or hear it.
I'm thinking it's a Beethoven piano concerto in D minor. It's not "Flur Elise".

Guess I'll go play and see what comes out.

That didn't work out.
I need a real piano to try.

Good Lord no! Not at all.
I'm mostly just a lover of classical music who happens to be able to play a little.
Beethoven and Back piano works are my favorites.
I'm particularly fond of Vivaldi's Four Seasons but that's mostly violin.
If you're into any opera work, "Carmina Burana" is far and above my favorite. I have the lyrics somewhere around here but it's a mix of 3 or 4 different languages. If you have an hour to kill watch this awesome rendition
My ex's brother was/is 2nd chair viola at the Atlanta Symphony so I got treated to some free lessons but never really got very good at it.

That was awesome Nate. Thanks brother.
Right after that one came along

s">this one by Joe Bongiorno

I will never come close to any of that especially with a little POS electronic thing I have. It's just enough to remind me of stuff I've long forgotten.
Listening to a good player wear it out brings me to tears. Just like those little girls that can wail the Star Spangled Banner just renders me useless like a sobbing baby. I don't know why.

Guess I'll be listening to classical piano the rest of the day.

I'm glad to see others who like Classical! Thanks for letting me know. From time to time, I'll share something good there!
