A White Piano Speaks

While I consider a white grand piano an abomination, my heart goes out to that poor Steinway, hauled from freeway to stadium and God knows where else (“White Steinway Sounds Off in Unlikely Places” by Julie Wheelock, Sept. 9). A piano, whatever its size, is not meant to be played alfresco. Would that this one could rise, a la Paderewski, saying “I am not an outdoor piano” and then stalk off the stage.
