I can't not intimidate them. Even playing simple pieces, technique sh=
ows through with phrasing, voicing, dynamics, etc. No one has ever sa=
t down and played the piano after I test it. Ever. They all re=
fuse. <BR>

I don't play showy, arpeggio-ey things, either. Mozart Sonata in G, 2=
nd movement; Chopin Etude in Eb Major; Chopin Waltz in C# minor; and the int=
ro to "Falling" from "THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG", by Marvin Hamlisch (=
I play it chromatically up from the original key of D to F, testing the top =
octaves/unisons).<BR>
<BR>
Other than showing the client how good their piano can sound, I'm primarily =
listening to unisons. Unisons are the only interval the consumer/pian=
ist can detect when it's out. Between those first three pieces, I can=
hear melodically, every note between middle C and A5. <BR>
