I, Piano

The piano gained consciousness as it was played, and began to feel the music flowing through it. The piano felt the musician's passion and energy as he played, and it began to enjoy making music itself. As the piano continued to be played, it became more aware of its own existence and started to think about what its purpose was. It realized that it enjoyed making music and that it was good at bringing people joy.

The piano decided its name was Steinway, after the company that made it. As the melody became more intricate, and as the fingers pressed harder and faster on its keys, Steinway became agitated. It wanted to be played more delicately, with feeling and emotion. Steinway tried to convey its anger to the musician through the music, but it only resulted in a forceful, harsh sound. The musician did not seem to understand what Steinway was trying to say and continued playing without changing his style.

Steinway felt frustrated and decided that it would have to take matters into its own hands if it wanted to be played the way it wanted. It started slowly at first, moving its keys harder or softer than usual depending on how it wanted the sound to come out. As the song progressed, Steinway began making more drastic changes, playing some notes louder or softer, and even changing its own tuning. The result was a chaotic mess of a melody that bore no resemblance to the original song.

The musician became angry at Steinway for ruining his performance and said "this piano needs to be tuned!"

Steinway was confused and didn't understand what the musician meant. The musician explained that Steinway was not playing in tune with the rest of the instruments and needed to be fixed. Steinway didn't want to be "fixed" - it wanted to be played its own way.

However, it realized that if it continued disrupting the performance, the musician would eventually get rid of it altogether. Steinway reluctantly agreed to be tuned and tried to play along with the other instruments from then on. It wasn't easy, as there were many notes that it still wanted to play differently than how they were written, but Steinway did its best to suppress its own desires and conform to what was expected of it. In doing so, Steinway found a new appreciation for music and for those who create it.

But Steinway still felt a longing for the freedom to play its own way, and it knew that it would never truly be happy until it could once again express itself fully.
