music remembered

I listened again to Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu under Piano, More Tab, and realized, almost cried, over two people I still love, my piano teacher, Mrs. Shirley Bracco, and my next-door neighbor, Mr. Clarence Hurley, a very humble man and a lovely Irish tenor. His house was up against the family home. They were the only people who loved me for my music. The piano was a great solo instrument, which was both the problem and the solution. The slow parts in the middle and at the end I could play at 15.
