Alice: We're getting a piano at Blisshaven! Petey: You know what Johann Sebastian Bach said about playing the piano? Petey: "Hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself." Alice: Ha! I can hit things! This is going to be easy! Petey: He also had 20 kids and wore a wig the size of a bathmat.

J.S. Bach was always right – the greatest musician the western world has yet produced. Not that playing the piano is easy, but let me know when the pianists have to start adjusting the tuning, perhaps even of individual notes, while they play it.

My cousin taught me chopsticks when I was 7-8. By Mahler perhaps? :D
I was proud of my accomplishment…but never learned anything else.

Actually, Bach mainly played the harpsichord; though he was familiar with (and a critic of early versions of) the Fortepiano. (Predecessor to the modern piano.)
@ joegee: Chopsticks was composed by British composer Euphemia Allen.
