Piano piano

Interesting semantic divergence. Most of those usages correspond to the Spanish (and Portuguese) ’plano’ though that word has no sense of ‘soft’ or ‘quiet’ as used in fortepiano. For that in Spanish you would use ‘suave’ or ‘despacio’. The word for the instrument in Spanish (and Portuguese) is piano.

@jon-nyc sometimes there comes a point when you just have to tell people “just shut up and play the dammed thing”.

Did your piano make it to your new home? (I haven’t been paying attention and may have missed it)

Alas, no, it has not yet. In fact, my whole shipping container still resides at the port in Long Beach, California. I’ve been playing a back-and-forth game with Italian bureaucracy with Italian customs, and I think I finally slammed over the last hurdle to appease the supervisor. who is the anointed bureaucrat. as we speak, it is getting ready to be loaded onto a freighter bound for mainland Italy somewhere , probably Genoa, and then will ne transferred to another ship bound for Cagliari. The ache is real

And I will comply with the German’s request, not to let copilot extrapolate on the true story of my piano and how we bought Bechstein’s secrets to make the perfect piano. Go fuck yourself, Klaus. You wish your Yamaha was half the piano that’s coming to my home. I bet you paid a lot of money for it too and it ain’t 9 feet long is it?

Andrea, you had to be there I’m sorry and if you were, you might understand the venom. It hurts double hard when it’s condensation coming from a man I respect and cared for men who I would stop on a dime to go meet and have a beer with and talk about the finer arts of the piano forte. But he replied to a long post I made that was a conversation with Copilot about my special piano with annoyance and ridicule that could’ve best been presented to me in an off-line message and so I brought out my Thompson machine gun and I’m still bitter about it cause he’s gone invisible since

And I’m well aware that I misspelled, but I will leave the word alone because condensation also fits. It’s a bunch of fucking crying is what it is.
