Many years ago I used to walk past my neighbour's house every morning and evening on the way to the bus stop. Sometimes in the evening, I can hear their son practising on the piano. He is quite good, but not concert pianist good.
One evening I walked past and the unmistakable sound of Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata came singing out to the street. I stopped and listened, it was so good that a passing jogger stopped and listened as well.
I thought no more of it, then the next day heard him practising the Hammerklavier. But this time nowhere as good. I knocked on the door, and it was only then that I was told that they had taken delivery of a new sound system!
