    This musical piece from the Romantic period had to be buried because of all the resulting children.

    Did they have pianos in Bach’s day?

    Probably a Nocturne for Piano and Violin by Chopin…

    She was all keyed up because he was stringing her along, bent out of shape, actually. He promised her a long, smoothly bowed romantic interlude, but all she got was some frenetic pizzicato!

    both have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist, perhaps in addition to than what’s perhaps indirectly pointed to by the title URL: 

    https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9-Xavier_Prinet 

    and links it points to (again, Chrome can automatically translate as necessary). This is the first work by him used here.

    “Pop Goes the Weasel” on violin has a very strange effect on Ivan. (3 stooges fans will understand)

    Those sonatas Rachmaninoff wrote/ she could play without missing a note/ she was famous for playing those/ (she aced the arpeggios !)/ but not with his tongue in her throat.

    Serious note: if you’re interested, on Youtube are several versions of Rachmaninoff’s Sonata for Cello and Piano. It’s a masterpiece !

    Bach had 20 children (that he knew of). I don’t think he used a condom, nor would he compose for one.

    Julia was surprised, but George was correct; this interlude was written into the score.

    Whenever he seemed to be bored/ she would play that particular chord/ with a cry of dismay/he would terminate play/ for the score wasn’t all that “scored”.

    They say music tames the savage beast. Apparently “they” don’t what they’re talking about, as usual.

    Looks like he struck just the right note, and she was in accord (a chord).
