This morning we were rehearsing a Debussy trio for piano, violin and cello.
The violinist was unhappy with a few of his pitches in one passage and he
quietly said "shit", after each offending note. Our coach, a new music pianist, then reminisced about his 26 y.o. daughter's first forays into the piano. She would bang on the instrument and say, "Shit!" intermittently. "That's how she thought you played the piano".
This in turn reminded the violinist of his 2 y.o. grandson picking up his son's
cellphone and excitedly shouting, "Jim! Jim! Can you hear me?"
