Piano Mondays

"The Poetry of Silence"

by Vilhelm Hammershøi

Enjoy this week's Piano Monday picture. It's another Hammershøi, but week my using another one of his other works was serendipitous. On my quest to find beautiful piano pictures I came across this and wanted to use it this week -and I recognised it as one of Hammershøi's.

The piano doesn't feature prominently, but I find that the picture wouldn't be complete without it, no? It is part of the surroundings. Look how beautifully it has been painted - I just love the detail.

Piano Mondays

One of my favorite ways to relax is by playing the piano. I've been playing since I was very young, and I find that personally, there is nothing more cathartic or therapeutic than playing out my worries and stress. 

This has also helped to fuel my passion for all things piano. I love the look of pianos, the sound of pianos, the internal mechanism of pianos, playing the piano, everything. There is nothing more I would love than to play on a lovely grand piano oozing elegance and majesty, but alas, I am a student and therefore am penniless (not to mention the lack of space in my living quarters) so that fantasy can't be lived out at present.

My plan for 2010 is to post a new picture of a piano to brighten up everyone's Monday, starting with this:
