The eight bar phrases are extremely similar to one another‚ except for the

Piano‚ stringed keyboard musical instrument‚ derived from the harpsichord and the clavichord. Also called the pianoforte‚ it differs from its predecessors principally in the introduction of a hammer-and-lever action that allows the player to modify the intensity of sound by the stronger or weaker touch of the fingers.

Family is a big part of this play‚ from the very first page you can tell how important family is to the Charles family. They might fight a lot but you can tell they care for each other as well. The major conflict in this play is over the piano. To me the piano represents the Charles family. It was very rare for a black family to be able to trace back their ancestry even two generations‚ let alone 5. People had
