Piano.
Who was the smartass who invented it?
And then made it popular?

Okay so if the piano wasn't invented,
We'd be tinky-tonking on something called a harpsichord.
AND THAT'S WORSE.
[Paragraph by Yuno]

But it's so irritating!
Playing trills, turns, the split thingamajigies....
Ugh, piano.
It never is fun to me.
But of course, it's never fun to ME only.

Why must we have three pedals on a piano?
We don't have three legs to play.
On a grand piano, there is the una corda, sostenuto and sustained (damper) pedals.
Why do we need a una corda pedal?
Is it because the guy who invented the piano could only play loudly?

AND OMJ!! Why must a note be held for so long if you're going to play other notes on top of it?
Maybe for a grand piano, leave it to the sostenuto pedal.
But who uses a grand piano to practice?
Oh no, we're all stuck with uprights and keyboards.
These have no sostenuto pedals.
Prepare for aching fingers.
Please, we don't have rubber muscles.

WHY OH WHY must we have the split thingamajigy (okay I forget terms)?!
Can't you play them at the same time or split them up properly?
Especially if there are four notes played in the time of a quaver,
In 144/crotchet timing.
Prepare to die.

But I guess a piano has the most advantage of all instruments.
It is by far the easiest instrument to PLAY.
It is the hardest to sight read.

Okay so maybe pianos aren't that bad.
BUT WHY THE HECK ARE THE CLASSICS THE BEST TYPE OF SONG??!!
THEY ARE ALL IN RIGHT HAND!!
And the left hand just plays the bottom note or chord in inversions!

I hate inversions too.
But that's a different story.
When you are grade 8 in theory,
There are just too many things to rant about.

Good thing I'm only grade 7 in practical.
Otherwise this rant would be MUCH longer.
Thankfully.

Tinky-tonky....
