The Classical 88
A friend and I exchanged email about classical pianists this evening. How refreshing. We talked about the nocturnes of John Field and Frédéric Chopin. We even touched on Schumann's "Scene from Childhood."
"When earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it --lie down for an aeon or two. Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew..." ~Rudyard Kipling~

I always like classical music. Listening the classical music is my usual and daily thing. So, I really glad to hear you love classical music..hah!
And a question, what is classical 88?
'88' is the American slang for the piano. Why '88'? Because the piano has 88 keys.
Dear L'v,
Thanks! It's really interesting for me. Does 88 include black keys?
