  • A caveman-grammar version of my interpretation to fit the character limit:

    Shoved on the piano = beginning of Lola's career

    Tears off "pretty pink dress" = she rejects traditional clothing

    Begins Rachmaninov's "Moscow Bells" prelude = first performance in trendy/hip clothes in Russia

    Rips off tape; powerful octave-chords (does that term exist?) at climax of piece = open rebellion in classical music world

    Taken away from piano and thrown out = not taken seriously; cannot perform

    Just a guess

  • very powerful

  • What mans midnight dream is to have a woman's mouth duct taped, be force to play in see through lace, and half way through the session pull the tape of an finish because it felt so good!?........................­..umm every mans!

  • very exciting, if she can only play my one key piano, ill be in heaven
