Concert Review On April 8th 2004 I attended the "Music for Piano" concert featuring Bette Coulson and Philip Seward at the Columbia College Concert Hall. The show was only about an hour.

the “Blue Piano.” In scene 6‚ the Varsouviana Polka music is introduced‚ resembling aspects of emotion as well. Firstly‚ The Blue Piano embodies fear.

My eyes grow wide with admiration as I gaze over the beauty of the majestic grand piano that rests upon the stage‚ begging to be played but wanting only a graceful touch. As my instructor nods her head‚ telling me to begin‚ I take one last deep breath in a futile effort to control my nerves. The breath does little to calm me‚ but then
