Yes indeed. I was not able to listen to all of it, but I listened to the pieces with which I was UNfamiliar, since most movies and commercials quote well-beloved works.
However, the music from Smallville, and some of the newer TV shows were a revelation to me, because I haven’t watched much broadcast TV with the advent of the internet! (I guess I spend too much time on it! hahaha)
Stage set-up, rehearsal, church service in the morning, and I tested a piano for some old friends. I advised them not to buy it. It was a magnificent antique, and their rock-n-roll teenager (for whom the piano was being sought) would have found the action too delicate and the sound too small for her music. It was over 180 years old, and had “Birdcage” action, with the hammers under the strings.
It did not have the dynamic range of a modern piano, but it was an exquisite thing. I think it was more suited to a collector than a rock musician though. She probably would have trashed it in no time at all. As a matter of fact, I used to bring a little tool kit with me to her lessons, with lots of spare guitar parts, as she was forever breaking off tuning pegs, snapping strings, and stripping bridge pins.
It would have been a death sentence for the fine old piano!
If you listened to the Beethoven septet, you're probably still humming one of the themes from the scherzo movement.
